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!)

F-Fought them? [ A frown. Oh dear. Helios isn't sure what to think about that. Fighting and violence in general isn't usually his methods towards things. But, well, different worlds...different reasoning. He wishes more world's mythica were like his own in some cases. Talkative, able to reason with and discuss things. It makes them less unseemly which they aren't in truth but other worlds don't offer such things unfortunately and it's that reason that makes him rather saddened. ] I-I see. This, this white council is comprised of humans or, ah, a-angels? Faeries are known to be a bit h-hostile in some cases. I-I've spoke with a good few Fae and their respective kings and queens. It wasn't so bad actually.

[ The outer gate's description gets a hm from him. ] I should hope no one has a-actually tried to summon or open up any such thing. Cthulhu...Nyarlathotep. Such beings are even feared in my own world.

[ Helios himself shudders a little thinking about meeting either of the two. It's a basal fear, really, but some beings are just not meant to be seen or met. ]

"In fairness, they usually started it. Sometimes not with me, but always with somebody. And the White Council is composed of human wizards, like me. Well, like me if I was a crusty old machiavellian with a stick up my ass."

I chuckled.

"... And no, most people aren't crazy enough to summon beyond the Outer Gates. It's a violation of the laws of magic."

Of course, my late mentor and former adoptive father Justin DuMorne wasn't most people, so I'd actually beaten my first eldritch abomination by the tender and squeaky age of 17, but there's no need to upset the poor guy.

Ah. I-I see. That's unfortunate. I-I'm still not used to mythica who, who attack people. Even if in my own world they still sometimes do. As for your White Council they, they sound a bit like the Magic Council in my own world. [ The Magic Council. Even now thinking about them makes his voice drop lower. Helios will let out a very apparent relieved sigh at that answer. ]

Oh thank goodness.

"Certainly helps me sleep easier, I'll tell you that much."

I shrugged.

"Besides, I do a pretty good job with my own allies of keeping the spooks and boojums away."

I-I suppose my own world is one of the few places that have somewhat civil m-mythological creatures. [ A frown as he looks away towards the other stands. ]

Do you ever think they'll be able to live together with humans in your world?
