[Tanabata in the form of few sub-threads below! There's going to be four:

One, for people performing in the pageant, details will be in the top comment of the subthread, but this one if for people to make direct responses to their appeals as well as to write out what they were and what they do.

Two, for general mingling during the pageant. For the judges and audience and all that jazz.

Three, for the wishes people write up for Tanabata - eighter just to note them or for people to spy on your writing them or tying them up or reacting to them once up or whatever!

Four, finally, is at the end of the night when there are fireworks being launched to go with all this stuff, for people to mingle/watch the show

Timeline
7:30ish -> sunset or so: Pageant
Between: Go make wishes and stuff
10:00ish: Fireworks]

[See all those people being pretty?! Now you can talk about them! Are you in the audience, one of the judges?! (Incidentally, the five judges are Oswald, Brigade represent, Yuri, asked specifically, Misato, volunteered, Minato, also volunteered, and Lupin, Haruhi realized they had an even number and thus just picked some random person.) Either way! Watch, be amazed, judge!

NOTE: there will be a follow up OOC vote to get the judge's scores for people as well as the popular vote of people in the audience for both gender brackets, and the voting/scoring would be known of ICly if you want to play with that

tl;dr: During pageant mingling thread for whoever]

[Lupin didn't expect to be reeled into being a judge for this event when he stealthily snuck in to sign Adele Leblanc up earlier in the day, but he wasn't complaining. It was a small act of revenge for antics that happened earlier in the week...and it would be a fun opportunity to alleviate the familiar boredom that was starting to settle in.

He's just nonchalantly lounging in his seat, appearing as cool and comfortable as he normally would to people he didn't know. The only major differences that distant acquaintances would notice would be the distinct lack of jacket in his attire and (gasp) the fact that his sleeves were rolled up. Closer companions would notice the glasses he was wearing, and the odd stillness to his posture...

Regardless, he's there to relax and have fun.]

[Your fellow judge appears to be a cool customer as well, watching the proceedings with barely a twitch in his facial expression.

Is he serious about his work, bored... or asleep with his eyes open? It's really hard to tell.]

[redjacketthief]

[Grinning, he leans over:]

Some show, huh? Does this sort of thing happen regularly around here?

[He's been there for eight months, man, and this hasn't happened before to his memory.]

[emp3thy]

[he nods back in acknowledgement.]

She's done this once before.

[Of course back then 'she' was a 'he' and he'd pretty much stayed away from it that time... but details.]

[redjacketthief]

Oh really now? [He shouldn't have been surprised, and doesn't care about the details of Haruhi's situation as much as he could.]

Was it as good as this one?

[emp3thy]

[He shrugs lightly.] I didn't watch.

[redjacketthief]

Guess we're gonna be clear of bias for this one then, since we don't have any precedent to compare it to.

...how did you get roped into this anyway?

[emp3thy]

I volunteered.

[...a beat just to let that sink in.] Before she could volunteer me.

[Hiro is watching the pageant with a goofy grin on his face. The one guy he's seen so far didn't do too bad, but the girls looked great! (Especially Grune.) This is shaping up to be one of the better Tanabata festivals he's been to.]

[rashness]

[He's in the audience - after all Shiemi is entered and he signed up Cloche. But... he feels like this isn't what he was expecting. So he's a bit wide eyed, possible sitting next to his brother. But. wow.

This is.

Interesting.]

[rocketpunch]

Sooo, which guy is your favorite?

[Yup. Guess who's sitting behind him? It's this girl. Who has been scarce since the draft.]

[rashness]

I... I don't know?!

[He starts, more than a little alarmed to be asked that]

[rocketpunch]

Soooo, none of them strike your fancy? That's too bad.

[She's going to kick his chair. Just to be a butt.]

Hey, hey, did you see Claude? I did a pretty good job on him, huh?

[rashness]

[Ouch, hey! He rocks a bit and his tail reaches out to try to whack her. Not that a fuzzy tail can do much] ...He's that tall blonde guy though, right? You did that?

[rocketpunch]

[She's just going to catch it, thanks.]

Yep. All me. Well, with a little help from one of my machines...[Heh. Heheh.] You could look like that, too, if you wanted.

[rashness]

Well it does look pretty go---- WAIT NO! Why would I want to be like that?!

[And his tail is sensitive!!]

[noexit]

[Misato is here at the judge's table, carrying herself semi-professionally while still maintaining her usual carefree vibes. She signed on for lack of anything interesting to do. If there's a crowd of people and fun to be had, she'll throw herself in - why the hell not?

Fellow judges, appraise the contestants with her! Spectators, of the impartial or partial variety, come say hello or try to sway her opinions on your favorite models!]

[magentarific]

[ THAT'S OKAY. Yuri will just be here being rude. ]

Too flashy!

[ Or you know, just finding something to judge everyone on no matter what. ]

[noexit]

[She hears that from nearby and has to turn in her seat, laughing a little.] Isn't that the point?

[magentarific]

[ She lowers her voice. ] Shh, someone has to be rude or it's not as entertaining for people to watch, right?

[noexit]

Huh? What kind of logic is that?

[magentarific]

Haven't you ever watched talent shows? They've always got the person who likes everyone, the guy who insults everyone, and a token minority.

[noexit]

I guess I never noticed that. [...So is the weird rabbit the token minority? Or the French guy?]

[magentarific]

[ Yuri's been trying to be Simon the whole time. Just for kicks. Rude.

She's also making random comments to people near the judge's table. Pretty bad judge tbh. ]
