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!

Of course. I think a lot of people would. Baseball's something lots of people can enjoy. Don't you think they would?

[Animals!]

[fourthgenerationprincess]

Magic, and friendship. I'm not exactly built for politics. [ They move on towards the giant flying bison. ] She took me on as her student when I was a filly.

[ Twilight stops when they're a couple of feet from Appa's side. ] Appa's right in front of you if you reach out.

[neversurrender]

Probably. I mean people seem to think events that bring everyone together around here. I just figured that maybe some won't since they might have never heard of baseball before.

[folklorist]

Ah yes, that's correct. Hunedoara county to be exact. It's in, ah, Translyvania actually. [ But Helios is not a vampire so no need to worry Derek. ]

[neversurrender]

I'll be there. [He chuckles.] Yeah, I guess this means I have to go have a chat with Loki...[Great.]

[fleurdesel]

...try telling him how very pretty he is. It might make him more agreeable.

[seleniahymn]

You may have to, I'm afraid I'm not very familiar with Earth practices.

[... Yes she is being completely serious.]

[neversurrender]

[He bites his lip.] Probably shouldn't mention the beards, either. It might turn out he's suffering from serious beard envy and that's what all of that is about. [He gestures towards Loki's booth.]

[fleurdesel]

[Her lips twitch a bit at that, eyes sliding over to Loki's booth.]

...perhaps a mighty sketch of a regal king with the beard he so greatly desires might be a proper peace offering.

[This might come back to bite her later. She doesn't care.]

[windandrain]

Well, it's not a complicated game, and it's competitive, so it's likely people will just take to it. There's no reason not to try, right?

[neversurrender]

No, you're right. Guess I'm just a little protective of the game. [He grins.]

[neversurrender]

[His eyes widen in comical shock.] Why Ms. LeBlanc...! [He grins suddenly.] I like the way you think.

[fleurdesel]

[The smirk he receives in response is all innocence. Really.] Turnabout is fair play, Captain.

[neversurrender]

Yes it is. I think I might try the normal, civil approach first though. It probably won't work, but at least you can't say I didn't try.

[fleurdesel]

You are a far more patient person than I, Steve. I wish you the best of luck.

[And if he does create that sketch, well. She'll want a copy. Adele reaches over to pat Steve's hand before she turns to go, feeling a great deal lighter than she had when she arrived.]

[rather_be_surfing]

Yeah. I don't know what I did to get so popular, but there you go.

[He nods agreeably to Steve's next words]

If you do, let me know. I'll give it a shot.

[rather_be_surfing]

Military ID tags.

[There's a slight chuckle]

No, definitely not furry. Fanged, clawed, sometimes filthy if they've given up on any pretense of humanity. But no fur. That's werewolves, from what I understand.

[rather_be_surfing]

So you're from the traditional home of vampires, and I work for a company named after the most well known fictional vampire hunter. Guess it's fitting we met, then.

[winds_voice]

[The fact that she didn't want to see him trouble did kind of touch Eley. He was certain that not many people particularly cared for his well-being, at least not as a person. He may be a Spirit but he certainly wasn't unbreakable, especially not now he was in a human body...]

I understand. Let us both try to avoid the situation if we can. [Though knowing Luceti, it seemed to be only a matter of time...] I must thank you for your concern though. It is not something I am used to hearing.

[winds_voice]

Hmm... why not tell me about your technology? I have already seen machinery that is unfamiliar to me here. How do you travel? What to you use to aid you in your day to day life?

[He shakes his head at the next question.]

I am afraid I do not know the details. It is something that only the Spirit of Aether would know. My sole concern is the world of Aether and its well-being. All I know of Earth is what the humans speak of amongst themselves.

[wise_maiden]

Hmm... I suppose I could start with Asgard, since this costume drew your attention.

[abjurer]

Probably. I've been told there's a good few differences between my world and most. America's pretty isolationist.

[wise_maiden]

"Drawn by curiosity, certainly, but she has every right to be wary, having witnessed him in action."

[wise_maiden]

Yes... actually when I arrived, there were quite a few people from my world already here. That number has wavered a fair bit.

[windandrain]

I think we're all a little protective of our favorite hobbies, aren't we?

[She tosses the ball back to him.]

And it sometimes surprises me that there aren't any sports clubs in Luceti.
