[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

[Gosh so quiet, Arata...! Nagisa nods though.]

Mm, I did with my parents back at home, whenever we could. [like. whenever she wasn't. you know. sick.]

[cuethemasong]

[ffff he doesn't want to imagine a time when she was sick for a festival...]

Do you know about the legend? What do you think about it?

[cherishedmiracle]

[sorry arata--]

..Hm? The legend..?

[cuethemasong]

Huh? You really don't know about the story of Tanabata?

[cherishedmiracle]

Oh, um... I know a little bit of it, but...

[cuethemasong]

Then this would be a perfect time for a history lesson! Sit tight, okay?

[cherishedmiracle]

[She nods, smiling.] Mm, okay! [TEACH HER, ARATA SENSEI]

[cuethemasong]

To be blunt, it's a holiday between star-crossed lovers. A girl named Orihime and a boy named Hikoboshi were seperated by the milky way. So it's only around this time that they can make up and be together.

As for making wishes and what not, that's just how we celebrate it. Honestly, Tanabata wouldn't be how it is if we weren't able to make wishes.

[cherishedmiracle]

Ohh, I see... that sounds a little sad, actually. [Only one time for them to be together...!] I wonder what Tanabata would be like if making wishes wasn't a part of it, then...?

[cuethemasong]

It would pretty boring I'd say. If you don't have a wish to motivate you, then it would be pretty tough to keep going.

[cherishedmiracle]

Mm, I guess that is true... But you could always make wishes anyway, couldn't you..? [without a holiday saying so --]

[cuethemasong]

that's true. For example... Making wishes on a star would be an easy one.

[cherishedmiracle]

Or when blowing on a dandelion.

[cuethemasong]

Huh? You still do that?

[cherishedmiracle]

...Eh? Well, I haven't seen any of them in a while, so I haven't, but... You can make wishes on those too, can't you?

[cuethemasong]

That's true. Although, it's been a while since I've heard it mentioned before... The last time I did that, I was little.

[cherishedmiracle]

Ohh, I see... Um... what about wishing on 11:11 then?

[cuethemasong]

Hmm...? That'a a new one. How come it's on 11:11?

[cherishedmiracle]

I'm not sure exactly, but they say that if you just happen to look at a clock and it's that time, it's some sort of auspicious or spiritual sign. So when people notice it's that time, they can make a wish on it.

[cuethemasong]

Oh! That does remind me of when special things happen whenever the day, month and year are the same number. Like 7/7/7 or soemthing like that.

[cherishedmiracle]

Ohh... Yes, it's basically like that! And I think when people make wishes on 11:11, they're supposed to kiss the clock showing the time if they can. [...it's weird okay]

[cuethemasong]

[This would be the perfect chance for him to tease her, but the words do not come flying out for some reason... ARGH.]

[cuethemasong]

[CLEARS HIS THROAT.]

... Have you ever kissed anyone before?

--E-eh...?! What's this.. [all of a sudden...] U-um... I've never--

[cherishedmiracle]
