Rating: ★ Please accept this!
After months of planning and roping in poor, innocent people to help out with some of the work it's finally done. An actual festival, all for the starfish.

The morning of the 14th mostly consists of people arriving, the stalls being brought in and decorations being put up. It's all about the preparation! Most of the decorating consists of banners and streamers you might find at a school festival, all hung around doors and windows and between the buildings in the plaza. And star shaped pieces of card being stuck up here and there in places too. If the decorations don't tell you what's going on then the banners saying 'STARFISH FESTIVAL' certainly will.

Come midday the festival is in full swing. There's plenty of food at many of the stalls (either prepared by Fuuko and the other girls or brought in by other villagers) ranging from cake, ice cream and different kinds of sweet things, to starfish tea, sandwiches, all sorts of festival fare. There are a few games set up too where it's possible to win starfish related prizes like pins, badges and even plush toys and some stalls are even giving out wind chimes. Finally there's also a little entertainment provided with music being played in the background throughout most of the festival. (You should totally go listen to Kotomi giving her very own violin recital.)

By night time when most of the food is gone there will be a fireworks display to bring an end to the festival. Hopefully the Starfish Festival would be a day to remember!

(You didn't need to receive an invite in order to come, that was just the girl's attempt at getting word of the festival out there. The festival is open to anyone and everyone to come along and have a good time.)

They should just put a picture of a starfish on the cup then.

[whimsicalwinds]

Mmm, that would probably be a good idea... Perhaps for the next starfish festival, you could tell whoever's in charge about that so that they can consider it.

[magentarific]

Why do starfish have a festival again?

[whimsicalwinds]

Ahh, I'm not very sure, actually... From what I hear, the girl who put this all together really likes starfish. I suppose that's the reason.

[magentarific]

[ Thinking about this for a second.

...

...

Yeah, that seems legit. ]

That's a good enough reason.

[whimsicalwinds]

[totally]

It is, isn't it? Though it does seem at least a little strange even then, I suppose..

[magentarific]

Not really. If you want to do something, do it.

[whimsicalwinds]

Mmm, you do have a point there.

[So that's understandable! Even if it is.. for starfish...]

Is there anything in particular you want to do, Yurippe-san?

[magentarific]

You're going to go against me in all of these games.

[whimsicalwinds]

...E-eh?

[just... staring for a moment. He wasn't expecting that!]

[magentarific]

Games. You versus me.

[whimsicalwinds]

[...Well then. That actually does sound like fun, so...]

If that's what you want to do, then I wouldn't mind that, Yurippe-san! It'll be fun.

[magentarific]

As a courtesy to the challenged, you can pick which game first!

[whimsicalwinds]

Hmm... In that case, how about a shooting game?

[magentarific]

[ She's got a smile on. An odd smile, considering that girls probably shouldn't know that much about shooting. It almost seems sinister.

You are going down. ]

Shooting it is!

[whimsicalwinds]

[That's a little frightening, Yuri...!]

I remember seeing one where you had to shoot some targets, so how about we try that one?

[magentarific]

Let's go for it. Where was it? [ It's not like she's really explored yet, she was distracted by the tea.. ]

[whimsicalwinds]

It's just over there! Not that far from here at all. Just follow me. [And he shall start heading on over to said game booth now! It's just one of those games where you shoot the moving targets. Nothing fancy or anything!]

[magentarific]

[ Oh good. :'D Yuri raises her hand to get the attention of the person who's in charge of the booth. ]

Hi, two guns please!

[ Because she's sure a real gun is a bad idea. ]

[whimsicalwinds]

[That would be a terrible idea! But yeah. Two guns get! Hayate picks up his.]

Are you ready, Yurippe-san?

[magentarific]

Count of three?

[ She's backing up slightly. Already in shooting position. HER BODY IS READY. ]

totally made this icon just for this thread js--

[whimsicalwinds]

That's fine by me, Yurippe-san!

[He'll take his own stance now..!]

One...

*Awesome!*

[magentarific]

Two! [ Aiming at one already! Do they say three at the same time? ]

[whimsicalwinds]

[Probably!] ...Three!

[Firing away at these targets now!]

[magentarific]

[ Yuri starts firing away too. LET'S SEE WHO CAN HIT THE MOST WAHAHAHA they're probably scaring the hell out of whoever is running this booth :| ]
