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!)

I don't know, you stood up to Ganondorf. I think you could handle being a viking alright. [He nods.] Yeah. And there's tons of them everywhere.

[so_shik]

That's different. Ganondorf was a bully and couldn't burn me to a crisp. I guess it's just hard to imagine what that must be like. Dragons wouldn't fit into Shibuya no matter how hard they tried.

[dragoneer]

What makes you say that?

[so_shik]

Where I'm from? It's a really, really big city and it's super-crowded. They wouldn't have room to move, let alone be discreet. And anyway if dragons showed up people would assume they would be all Godzilla-like and just start a rampage.

[dragoneer]

...Godzilla? Who's Godzilla?

[Hiccup has never heard of a dragon named that before...but he can understand the crowded issue.]

[so_shik]

Godzilla's like...this giant monster. Big dinosaur-looking thing that liked to go around stomping on buildings in Japan. I mean he's fake obviously. I'll have to see if I can find one of the movies for you to watch sometime. They're pretty terrible but they're a huge part of pop culture.

[dragoneer]

[...Pop culture? :|] Ahh--right. Well, I would think a dragon wouldn't just go around stomping on everything, but you're probably right. They wouldn't exactly fit in there.

[so_shik]

[Oh Hiccup...Shiki has so much to teach you, doesn't she?] I don't know, I think he was really mad or something, I forget the whole plot. But anyway, you'd be surprised. I've seen things around here even stomp on buildings and wreck them. [You know, like Haruhi's giant squid.]

[dragoneer]

[Yes he does, wise master.] Well, there was that time all those monsters came out of the Battle Dome...but--even, then, I don't remember much building stomping. What do you mean?

[so_shik]

[That's it. Hiccup has to come to house 10 to watch bad movies someday.] Haruhi's never told you about the giant alien squid, has she?

[dragoneer]

[He will be overjoyed at the exposure of culture.]

...Nooooo, I can't say that she has. Um. Want to enlighten me?

[so_shik]

His name's C'Thun. He was literally a giant white squid that wandered around the village, and he totally ruined my shop. He was only around for a day or two, it's been a few years.

[dragoneer]

[...H...uh.]

Yyyeah, she definitely didn't mention that. Were you guys...friends at the time?

[so_shik]

Me and the alien squid, or me and Haruhi? [She knows what he means, but she can't help but tease him a bit.]

[dragoneer]

You and Haruhi. [Pause.] Though if you were friends with the squid, I'd be interested in hearing about that, too.

[so_shik]

...well I mean the squid did apologize for stepping on my shop. I don't know if that really counts though. As for me and Haruhi? We've been friends for a really long time...years. Like almost three years now at this point. By then I'm pretty sure we were living together...why? [Granted, back then it was Haruki, but same person.]
