The Cultural Fair!

[wise_maiden]

Who: Everyone's invited!
What: The Cultural Fair
When: June 5th- 12th - admittedly dates are sort of nebulous - set up could have begun as early as the 5th, but given the event recently, more days could have been taken to do it and for people to involve themselves, so it probably "officially" starts a little later (by the 8th at the very least, though work can go on throughout it) - feel free to use your judgement/have fun!
Where: All around the town square!
Summary: Here.
Rating: ... who knows?!



Notes: 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 probably started for it on the 5th-7/8th for labor purposes, though feel free to use dates to your advantage here! (Even if characters slapdash something at the last minute, it would be fun to see! It would even be encouraged after the crazy from the last event - kind of a way to get back in touch with themselves.)

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. (Helios and Ikki made posts in regard to it and there have been art club posters around, so anyone could have noticed those as well!)

I'll leave descriptions up to you all as there isn't much that is too uniform about the displays, as everyone is encouraged to be creative about their presentations and how hard the characters worked isn't something I could define for each of you. Just keep in mind that this takes place in the plaza, there shouldn't be an issue with blocking traffic (there may be ropes up to try and keep pathways clear, however!), though it may branch around various points of the square depending on where someone wants a booth located / the number of actual participants. The square will also have a lot of brightly colored signs and decorations indicating what is going on!



For ideas/reference on how it was handled last time, feel free to look through here! There's no official signup, so go forth!

Then yes for five hundred, and I'll keep that one in mind for the future, Asami-san! I'd prefer to observe than leer anyway!

[Clearly this is a good joke, so he backs it up by pretending to holds some air binoculars up to his eyes]

[generalflirt]

[Oh wow, Frey and... a hot woman. This should not be as surprising as it is]

I feel like my PDA is ringing, and I don't even have it on me! [This is clearly a great joke, and as a result he laughs and rocks back on his heels, pulling an air-phone out of his pocket as if a phone had rung in there]

[folklorist]

Ah that is true. But this is only half of what resides in Luceti. [ Probably not even half, really. ]

You don't have a booth, do you? It might be interesting to set one up next year. It's loads of fun at least. I do enjoy teaching people about my world, and you get to meet some interesting people as well.

[generalflirt]

Do you like blue roses, pink triangles, and maybe even softball?! Are you playing for that team, because that's two home runs that the Y-lers are going to be missing, if that's the case!

[And he snaps his finger, rolling with it and leaning back into her personal space]

[folklorist]

That's...that's correct! It's a, ah, family secret, yes. And magicians never, ah, tell all their secrets. [ He smiles wide, happy, and bright back at her. Of course it was a simple matter but Helios liked to leave somethings a mystery. ]

[tailasoldastime]

Yes. I, uh, h-have not seen some yet, but... [He looks around at the other booths.] Some do look... different. And the same. [Like Jack's booth.]

[He bites into one of the gogosi in his paw and soon there's an "Mmm!" sound of approval from him as he savours the taste. Oh how he's missed these.]

[neversurrender]

[He clenches and unclenches his jaw a few times before responding.]

It hadn't occurred to me. I merely assumed they would say something if they saw something...questionable.

[complicatedliar]

Buffy Summers told me a very interesting human saying about the word assume. Would you like to hear it?

[complicatedliar]

I know. 'tis the best part.

[complicatedliar]

"Ah, yes, I seem to remember that about you. I know there are a few of them about here, though. Do you just avoid them?"

[tailasoldastime]

But I... I w-wasn't speaking to you. I think that is... believed to be "rude".

I w-wasn't talking... much... that week. I don't know why.

[neversurrender]

I'll accept both. As much as I wish I wasn't here, I'm glad in some ways to have been here as long as I have. I feel like there's nothing they can throw at me that will catch me off-guard. How about you? Have long have you been here?

[He shakes his head.]

Haven't put much thought into it. Although if this at all helps people get interested in the sport, I wouldn't mind getting a game together.

[complicatedliar]

"Your imagination is quite keen, it seems." Loki grins. "Lovely. You'd pass nicely."

[complicatedliar]

Quaff mead. That means drinking it very messily.

[neversurrender]

I know the man who owns it. I'll let him know. Maybe he'll be willing to hear some re-design suggestions for when he repairs the building.

[neversurrender]

[Steve doesn't seem to mind the weakness of the throw and easily hits the ball past her.]

[neversurrender]

Alright. Consider it a done deal, then.

[complicatedliar]

I think I could see my way to help with that. I do rather like a good festive occasion. But my price is that there must be dancing.

[Pause.]

Dancing with heavy enough drums that I can follow along without hearing.

[complicatedliar]

His eyebrows went up. "What question?"

[neversurrender]

So you admit to having moments of weakness? And yet you're one of the strongest people I know. [His grin forms fully and he bumps his shoulder against hers.]

[tailasoldastime]

I... [His mind goes wild. He can think of many things he could ask - if his servants will come here, if anyone will stay here with him, if the spell will be broken...

Then one suddenly comes to him. A question that he has been wondering for two weeks... some months now. But will she judge it? Should he say when she might know who...?]

... There... th-there is, uh... someone... I... I want to know...

Will... will she f... l... I mean... w-will she... think... differently, of me... s-someday?

[fleurdesel]

I am only human, Steve. [A beat, and she snorts a soft, incredulous laugh.] You know demigods, actual gods, superheroes and Jedi. How do I stand in their company in the slightest?

[neversurrender]

[He notices the change in mood and tries to smile.] Sorry. I didn't mean to sound so depressing.

[neversurrender]

[He gives her a considering look.] Because you don't have any special forces or god status backing you and yet you're able to hold your own against them anyways. Just by being yourself. You are your own force of nature.

[neversurrender]

......No. I believe I know the one you're talking about.
