The Cultural Fair

[wise_maiden]

Who: Everyone! Or as close to that as possible, please. \o/
What: The Cultural Fair
When: April 25th-26th, though the earlier set-up days (22nd, 23rd, and keeping everything dry on the 24th) are also encouraged to help get a feel for it
Where: All around the town square
Summary: Also here.
Rating: ... is this a thing?

Note: Booths can be labeled as separate comments! Just put [booth name] or something in the subject line so people can find top level comments easier. Work was probably started for it on the 22nd-23rd for labor purposes, sheltering things from the weather on the 24th, and the actual Fair is on the 25th-26th, so using any of those dates and figuring out where your characters are helping would be good. CHARACTERS ARE WELCOME TO TAG THE LOG FOR INTERACTING WITH OTHERS, NOT JUST BOOTHS, SO FEEL FREE TO TAG IN! Also a character who might not know what's going on is welcome to walk by and question it! And so forth.

I'll leave the descriptions up to you all as there probably isn't much that is too uniform about the displays, as everyone is encouraged to be creative about it. Think of it as something on a much smaller scale than the festival from a year ago, definitely, but how hard the characters worked isn't something I could define for each of you. That said there are plenty of unique sights, so enjoy browsing! Thank you!

(Also, please add your name tags!)

Hiccup, huh? I'm proud of him. He's doing well for himself here.

[godbent]

Yeah, I guess it's impressive.

[installing]

[She's not sure what to say after that, so she just picks up a flier.]

I remember you telling me about this.

[godbent]

[sighing, Haruhi leans up against the booth, taking a seat on it one probably should not in a suit and kicking her legs a bit] I bet I did.

[installing]

This was before even I was around. It feels like a long time ago.

[godbent]

It was a long time ago. [It's not meaningless though- no, bite that in]

[installing]

[She sighs and looks off to the side.]

You look good in that suit.

1/2

[godbent]

Of course I-! [...No, why is she smiling and looking at Winry. Mid way through doing that she remembers: "No, she doesn't-"]

[godbent]

...do.

[installing]

Yeah... you look good in most everything you put on.

[godbent]

...Thanks.

[installing]

[Winry drops her gaze back to the paper. She feels like she should apologize again, but that might just make her angry again. Instead she feels a flier between her fingers.]

[godbent]

[this feeling sucks. She thought she was ready for this, but she's clearly not. she reaches into her own pocket, gritting her teeth a bit in spite of herself. Bah. He frown becomes more pronounced and she grips the item in her pocket tighter. Come on on Suzumiya, say something]

[installing]

[Without looking up:] Is there anything I can help with?

[godbent]

[At that the paper in her pocket gets crushed under a tighter grip. She almost, almost throws out an enraged retort... but what would that to. There's no problem here. She knows she can't be angry. so she sighs, forces herself to not blow up, and then shoves the card at Winry.

It's one of the fluff cards of the set. When they were dating it seemed pointless: It's one requesting a kiss]

[installing]

[Winry looks at the card when she gets it in her hand. The girl's calloused thumb grazes over the words she wrote in ink. One of these, huh? She wonders how many Haruhi has left, and what they say. It's useless to dwell on it now, but...]

Did you want me to reach over the table to give it to you?

[godbent]

Or under it, or on it, or around it. I don't really care.

[She does. She just wants- Who knows what she wants. She has a large number of them left. Some even more invasive than this one. But...]

[installing]

[With a sigh she shakes her head. It's probably a bad idea to keep doing intimate things of this nature. But she promised. She promised because with all her heart she wanted to offer something in return to Haruhi for breaking her heart. The blond walks around the table, brushes some of Haruhi's hair back, and then cup's the other girl's face. She won't half ass this, no. It'd be rude, and completely demeaning of what they used to have. This kiss won't be passionate either, however. It is gentle and, Winry hopes, meaningful.]

[godbent]

[...This feeling still sucks. Still sucks. She's desperate though, desperate, lonely, hurt. and as such she keeps in it longer than her pride tells her she should, but when he pulls off, she grits her teeth almost immediately.]

You're over it.

[Already. Over her.

So much for loving her.]

[installing]

[Winry gives Haruhi a confused look.]

What?

[godbent]

[She swallows. A million different retorts, ranging from pathetic to furious run through her head. All sorts of ways she could hurt Winry with things which aren't quite untrue flood into her mind. She hangs her head. Her teeth still gritted, she wishes that the world could just be destroyed right now. Everyone here should-

...Should what, die? No, she can't wish that. It might come true. Angry tears are forming in the corners of her eyes]

I'll do you a favor and burn the rest of those cards.

[installing]

Excuse me? I thought you wanted me to own up to them?

[godbent]

[What's the stupid look on your face? She glances up a little, her eyes just. Hurt. Angry]

It doesn't matter.

[installing]

It obviously matters to you, so why did you say that?

[godbent]

Because it doesn't! [And she had two more in her other pocket, right? In case this went well. She rips them out of her pocket, and now furiously is going to work tearing them to shreds-

...and it is then that she remembers and sees she is wearing that bracelet Winry made for her. Her throat constricts, and she goes to get it off her wrist]
