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!

When, exactly, suicidal irreverence and a lack of proper risk assessment becomes a force of nature you'll have to point out some day.

[All the same she ducks her head and nudges his bicep with her elbow. A simple surgeon, nothing more.

But it's hard not to believe you have some manner of merit when Steve Rodgers looks at you like that.]

[complicatedliar]

Excellent. I only wanted to make certain, you see. I always seem to have problems with mortal slang, and I imagine you must have your own little difficulties.

[250mhzwabl]

Oh, heck yeah. That's the sort of party I'm used to. High-volume dance music. Bass you can feel in your teeth. [There's a tinge of nostalgia in his grin as he sighs agreement, mind already whirling with dreams of how big and wild a party they might be able to manage.] And lights everywhere, flashes and beams in all colours.

[neversurrender]

I like to think I've gotten past the learning curve by now.

[neversurrender]

Funny, I thought I did just that.

[fleurdesel]

You have tactics, experience, and a bit of superior strenght all your own to mitigate the fallout. I have...

[She shrugs.]

A revolver, three knives on my person at any given time, and a distinct lack of magical ability outside of healing and an electrical pulse on par with a taser. Perhaps I might invest in a shield.

[neversurrender]

You think I started out with all of those things? No, to begin with the only thing I had going for me was the inability to walk away from a fight. No matter how dangerous the situation was.

It might not sound like much, but I like to think it got me pretty far. And I see the same in you.

[windandrain]

[She tries to catch it, without success but goes and picks it up once more.]

Do you have any tips on how to throw better?

[complicatedliar]

[In perfect mimic of the fatuous tones of a kindergarten teacher:] Oh, how good for you.

[He idly draws a circle in the air with one foot, over and over, much like the tail of a cat flicking.] I think they make up slang at times, really.

[fleurdesel]

...I'm a bit short to become a star spangled woman with a plan. Also- there are no stars on the French Flag.

[It's easier to tease then it is to settle into her own skin and look at how much she's changed. Then to think of what she'd lost when Tsinku left her and how very badly some small part of her wants it back. Well not so small. Quite large.]

For a man like you, who does what you do; lives as you live? It's plenty. It's why everyone was so broken up over the thought of having to take measures during the October draft. You inspire loyalty and that has more to do with being Steve than it does Captain America.

[complicatedliar]

[Loki grins.] Oh, I like the sound of that. I should very much enjoy such dancing, I think.

Yes, I would be quite happy to help.

[neversurrender]

[He snorts and shakes his head.] Now you're just trying to miss my point.

And you don't think you can inspire the same kind of loyalty in people? Because I don't believe that. Within minutes of knowing you, I felt that you would be someone to keep close.

Now, it could just be my excellent judge of character but...I think you had something to do with it to.

[twodragons]

Yeah, a few people!

I mean, I don't know if I could say what a lot really is here, but it seemed like a lot given the overall population.

[And they'd all been at least interested, which was nice.]

[fleurdesel]

The art of Soresu is that of calculated evasion.

[Not that she has her usual study partner anymore. She shrugs and puts it from her mind, smile dimming for but a moment.]

You're certain that had nothing to do with the fact I gave you a shirt?

[Not the worst way to meet someone. Not the best but, certainly not the worst.]

[neversurrender]

[He rubs his temple, wondering how he'd gotten side tracked into talking about slang.]

Look, are you going to undo whatever you did or not?

[neversurrender]

Try throwing some more weight into it. Pro pitches tend to stand side ways to start with and then they take a step forward as they throw their arm back. It allows you to put more of yourself into the throw.

[He drops the bat long enough to demonstrate what he's talking about.]

[neversurrender]

[He smiles and shrugs.]

That most certainly didn't hurt. But I stand by what I said.

[fleurdesel]

You often do. I do not think I've met a man with more conviction than you aside from. Well. Ben.

[neversurrender]

[His smile softens at the mention of Obi-Wan.] I accept that as a high compliment.

...It feels strange to not have him here.

[fleurdesel]

I can barely remember the village without him. He arrived before I did.

[And left before her as well, leaving friends and fond memories behind. A good man. A kind man.]

[windandrain]

Alright. Get ready.

[She gets ready and winds up for a decent pitch. It's not pro-form at all, but she puts a lot of force behind it so it is fast. Still an easy hit, but definitely fast.]

[soheartless]

[He glances down towards his form. He doesn't seem to be hurt in any way. But there isn't any way to tell for sure. So he just responds in a very neutral tone.]

I don't know.

[twinlionfists]

[She looks over to where he points and spots the familiar pastries.]

Y-yes. I would like some taiyaki. Thank you.

[twinlionfists]

[She has no idea what the metaphors that he's using mean, but she does understand that he thinks she is interested in women. Which is a big NO.]

A-ah, n-n-no! I am not...I...IhavesomeonethatIcareforalreadyandheisverymuchmalethankyouKida-kun. [All of that is said in one panicked breath.]

[therewerefifty]

Ah... no. I'm actually here by accident. I was just coming back into town when I stumbled across the, ah... air gates outside town. It made me curious.
