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!

Actually, a lot of the things here in the enclosure are like the technology back home. And we use cars, airplanes, things like that to travel. I could always pull up a simulation for you in the battle dome. Might be easier than me trying to explain it to you.

So you are a protector back home?

[wise_maiden]

"That's good. It's not often that there are productive... results from situations like this. I'm still left with questions, though without many avenues to pursue them."

[rather_be_surfing]

I'll be sure to.

Ever want to learn to surf, I'll be happy to lend a hand.

[rather_be_surfing]

Guess they figured it was the easiest way to keep ID on a body that might not make it out of a battlefield intact. Seems to work most of the time.

...not, not amorous. I've met a few bearded ones, though.

[rather_be_surfing]

I know I'd be pretty hesitant to tangle with you after seeing that sparring session.

Take it you have some folks closer to Buffy's side of the scale, then?

[rather_be_surfing]

Not quite. Think she's got me on the super-power side of things.

[He notes the sudden stammer]

...I'm only interested in going after the ones from my own world. They're the result of an exorcism gone wrong, spread easy, and are pretty much as monstrous as you can get. Think serial killers with no stops whatsoever and a side order of feral to flavor their...'games'. Not something you want for a next door neighbor.

[rather_be_surfing]

"Maybe in time. That is what you pointed out to me the last time we talked about this, right?"

[before_my_darkness]

Oh... But I don't have a world.

[ At least not that she remembers at the moment. ]

[before_my_darkness]

Oh. So why would that change anything? I wouldn't think that growing up would make anything different.

[personafalsify]

Yeah, but I know what I'm doing.

[ He sounds just a bit defensive when he says it.

He fucked it up once before and isn't going to let it happen again okay. ]

[winds_voice]

[Eley thought a moment, looking back over his map, and then to the rest of the fair.]

Perhaps it is about time I explored the rest of this fair. Is there anything you wish to share while we are here?

[Whether it be her own booth or just her words, he would be interested enough to listen. He doesn't know all that much about her or her world just yet after all.]

[complicatedliar]

Tis an interesting sight.

[Pause, considering.]

Barton's bottom is nearly as nice, you know.

Though I'll admit Steve's little patriotic number is very cute. Though I could do without the head wings. I don't know why men think they're anything but silly.

[complicatedliar]

[Loki applauds.]

Well, I'm certain this is far more useful than sport, too.

[complicatedliar]

I suppose it is more efficient than the tradition of letting the women onto the battle field to collect their dead. You do tend to kill each other in truly impressive numbers these days.

Bearded men or bearded nasty things?

He's fine!

[twinlionfists]

[Hinata looked off towards where Totoro was pointing, realizing that he agreed to her plan when she saw the fares available. She couldn't help but smile as she started towards the other booth.] Shall we then?

[winds_voice]

I see... I will have to bear that in mind whenever I come in contact with something I have not seen before. I... have never heard of cars or airplanes before either so yes, I would certainly be interested in experiencing a simulation of these.

And yes, in a way. As the Wind Spirit of Aether I am solely responsible for the condition of the skies. I help to regulate the weather, maintain the atmosphere and aid plants and animals when they need the power of the wind. I work alongside other Spirits to keep Aether alive. It is our sole reason for existing.

[twinlionfists]

Yes, my older cousin is here. He has been here for a while if I understand things correctly.

[When Asami brings up the way that she's avoiding the booth, Hinata's cheeks heat up.]

A-ah, that...that is not my concern.

[rather_be_surfing]

They'd balk at the cost of sending the women to the battle field in the first place, never mind letting them wander it.

[A quiet laugh.]

Sadly, both. With about the same intent, if not the same way of going about it.

[herotypical]

"...Well, I wouldn't call any of them underdogs. That implies a rise from mediocrity. But Angel and Spike were very good at being bad. Hell. Jack? Pirate Lord. Son of some big deal code-keeper. If that's not the opposite of being an underdog, I don't know what is.

It's just that I believe rather a lot in second chances. Sometimes third chances."

[wildbluevagner]

[And that smile doesn't go.]

You don't have to, you know. It's... it's okay if you'd rather not.

[complicatedliar]

"I thought the underdog wasn't so much mediocre as downtrodden." It wasn't something he had anything more than an academic interest in, just a trope he'd seen often in the human books he'd read.

Well, and talking with Buffy was--bizarrely--actually quite fun. He liked people who would play the verbal game.

"Though your point still stands. I've not known any pirate lords personally, but I don't think downtrodden really fits with the sound of it."

[complicatedliar]

If they were smart, they'd fear the wrath of the women more than the cost.

[He laughs.]

Derek you are giving me the impression that you're just wonderful at making friends.

[herotypical]

"Besides, you probably have to be good at your job to be Captain of the fastest ship in the Caribbean -- perhaps the world -- right? Not that even I'd ever take just Jack's word for it, of course. His enemies have as good as confirmed it, too.

Not that any of that matters, here."

[ex_tessen852]

Rather not what?

[twinlionfists]

You did!
