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.)

[None of those things are Ragna!!!!!!

Good, he was trying to break it and ruin its life. That starfish will not return to his family the same after today.

AND NEITHER WILL THAT ONE!!!!] Yes! [And then the game ends. Ragna's score isn't incredibly high, but he's proud of it. Then again, he doesn't know what a good score for this game is.]

[cherishedmiracle]

[Are you sure...

And wow. Now he's a starfish murderer too? What a terrible person.

BUT HURRAH HE HAS CONQUERED THE GAME! Nagisa claps, beaming.]

Congratulations, Ragna! You got a really good score! [hardly]

[rageface]

[Absolutely.

Ragna just puts the mallet back where he found it, dusting his hands off confidently and then crossing his arms.] See? That wasn't too hard.

[cherishedmiracle]

[/unsure...]

Mm, you did very well! What are you going to take as your prize though?

[rageface]

[Prize? There's prizes?] I get to pick something out?

[cherishedmiracle]

Oh, yes! They have prizes for all the games..

[Point! ...Of course, she never said there was variety. They're basically just starfish plushes and other... starfish things.]

[rageface]

[Ragna just stares at the selection rather... hesitantly. He's not sure if he should take one, but... well... he won it. Might as well revel in his totally legitimate victory by taking one.]

Uh, right. I'll just... take this one. [A starfish-plush. It'll have to do.]

[cherishedmiracle]

[Good choice, Ragnoo. Nagisa beams.]

I think that's a really cute one!

[rageface]

I wasn't shooting for cute. [He was mostly shooting for anything. That's a good category.]

[cherishedmiracle]

[BLASPHEMY]

What were you um.. shooting for then?

[rageface]

Anything that doesn't look ridiculous.
