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!)

[Yet. That means she could. There's a chance that is could happen, and it scares her.]

W-what can I do to prevent that from happening?

[godbent]

Nothing. It's on me.

[...Sigh. she goes to collect the bracelet. She damaged it]

[installing]

[There's nothing she can do? It makes her feel helpless. But the feeling of helplessness doesn't stop her in her tracks. No. She gets up on her own. And when she does she'll offer a hand out to the kneeling Haruhi.]

[godbent]

[She doesn't put the damaged bracelet back on. She just puts it in one of her suit pockets. but... she dos take the hand to get back up. Eventually]

[installing]

[After she helps Haruhi up Winry allows the other girl some space, and brushes the dirt off her own knees.]

[godbent]

[...This feeling still sucks. Ugh Ugh. She doesn't brush herself, just glances off to the side]

[installing]

[Winry... simply stands there, not meeting Haruhi's eyes. She doesn't want to incite another outburst. What does Haruhi really expect- want from her? Winry doesn't know, and because of that she does nothing. Normally she'd take a situation head-on and stubbornly stand her ground, but... this time is different. She could risk losing someone important "forever" over this.]

[godbent]

[...Sigh]

I can't do this after all.

[installing]

"This"?

[godbent]

This! The... I thought I could meet with you.

[AUGH]

[installing]

Oh.

Sorry. [She takes a step back. One hand wants to rest on the table, but she retracts that before it rests there. If... if she has to leave there's no point in resting anything.]

[godbent]

No, it's fine.

[It's not fine, it's the furthest thing from fine. She looks down at her hands (now bracletless) and now seems like she's going to cry again. She does not want to do that]

Look at the other booths if you want. Or... do whatever you want.

[installing]

I came here for you.

[She doesn't feel up to looking at anything else now anyway. Feeling insecure she folds one arm under her chest to hold the other. "Look at other booths if you want." She'll take that as Haruhi dismissing her, so she turns away.]

[godbent]

[...Bah.] Then go spend time with Ed or Sokka or someone.

[And at this, she sits. Mostly because her stomach is doing flips and she doesn't trust herself to stand. she says this to Winry's turned self]

[installing]

[Her hands clench into fists.]

Is that what you think I've been doing?

[godbent]

At very least, you'd discussed it with Sokka before I told anyone.

[Flatly, and with a little sigh]

[installing]

[She folds her arms, not turning back to Haruhi.]

I see him every day. Did you want me to lie to him?

[godbent]

Like I said, do whatever you want. Go comfort yourself in Ed's embrace, make Sokka sympathize with you, maybe go see Buffy celebrate this.

[installing]

[She turns around and slaps her hand on the table.]

You don't get it! Nobody is celebrating this!

[godbent]

[That startles her. And she blinks before she meets Winry's gaze with her own glare] Why not? Buffy and me are "unmixy" and Sokka obviously doesn't think we're a good match. Ed's- ["in love with you" but she can't say that] and everyone from your world is probably breathing a sigh of relief, so why not?

[installing]

Unmixy? Buffy sympathized with you! Told me to give you space! So I did until you called me here.

[godbent]

Her words, not mine!

[Wrapping her arms around herself defensively]

[installing]

Whatever! Think what you want, but that doesn't make it true.

[She turns, and this time tries to leave.]

[godbent]

[But it is. It's so true.

Whatever. She slams her head into the table to pout. It hurts too much to argue this]
