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!)

[She smiles.]

Thank you, Roxas! I'm very glad to have your company.

[perplexme]

No problem. [Examining, examining] So all of this is from your home world?

[lostinmyway]

Yes, that's right. Would you like to hear about it?

[perplexme]

Well it's a cultural fair, right? It'd be a shame not to learn as much as I can.

[lostinmyway]

All right! [She straightens up a little. Time to get serious!]

I'm from Melfes and I live on the Legacy! All my friends here live there, too, even if they all came from different places. [She gestures at all the portraits she's drawn.]

The Legacy is very pretty and all kinds of people live there. [Gesturing at the landscapes now!] It's a nice place.

[Truly, Grune is the best at this sort of thing.]

[perplexme]

[...haha. Oh Grune...Roxas really enjoys her enthusiasm, at least.] Why was it called The Legacy? Just because?

[lostinmyway]

Hmm.... I wonder why it is. [Think think think.]

Maybe Norma would know.

[perplexme]

Who's Norma?

[lostinmyway]

[Have a sudden brilliant smile, Roxas.]

Norma is my very best friend in the whole world! She's very smart!

[perplexme]

She must be very nice if she's good friends with you, Grune. I'd like to meet her sometime.

[lostinmyway]

[Is there anything in the world better than two of her friends becoming friends?]

I'm sure she'd be very happy to meet you, too! Norma is very friendly.

[perplexme]

Have you two been friends for a long time?

[lostinmyway]

Oh, yes. We've been friends as long as I can remember!

[Which, um, is only a few months at most before coming to Luceti.]

[perplexme]

[Hey Roxas can't really knock that.] Good. Everyone needs a friend like that. I guess I'm lucky that I've got two.

[lostinmyway]

Oh, how wonderful! [She just lights up at that.] Who are they?

[perplexme]

One of them's Xion. She's still here...I've known her my whole life. The other one's Axel...but he's still gone.

[lostinmyway]

[It takes her a while, but eventually, she remembers. It isn't so much that she recalls Axel specifically as how Roxas had felt when he had left.

Her smile turns gentle.] I hope he can come back soon so you can all be together again.

[perplexme]

Thanks Grune...I hope so, too. Then you can meet him. He'd like you. [Roxas is certain of this, if only because Axel tolerates all of Roxas' friends.]

[lostinmyway]

[That makes her happy to hear, and it's clear in her voice when she says:] I'm sure we'd be very good friends.

[perplexme]

I'm sure of it.

...you okay by yourself here? I was going to keep browsing around, but I wouldn't mind helping if you need it.

[lostinmyway]

Oh, I'd love to have some company! But if you haven't seen everything yet, why don't you come back a little later?

[She wouldn't want him to miss something fun.]

[perplexme]

Okay. I promise I'll come back later. I might even bring you back some stuff from some of the other booths. [And with that he waves, turning with a grin and heading out to go explore.]

[lostinmyway]

Thank you, Roxas! Have fun!

[She waves back, then settles down to wait for her next customer.]
