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!

We still have to build the house. But yeah, that's where it'll be.

And someone else, too. Their house is there as well. Not sure whose it is, though. Never went and checked.

[all7seas]

"Six. And then--?" Because Jack always liked to know which consequences he was flaunting.

[neversurrender]

I can understand the impulse. Living out there would you to get away of some of the village's craziness.

[rather_be_surfing]

Yeah. Sometimes, even if you like people, you need a break. There's not much to work with in that regard here.

[tokennonbender]

[Asami glances over at the booth again, then back at the other girl.]

...Then what's up?

[tokennonbender]

Are they as violent as the ones I'm thinking of?

[Teasing.]

...They don't sound pleasant, I can say that. But I've been in my share of fights.

[Well. One.]

And I can take care of myself.

[twinlionfists]

[Hinata's face has forgone pale for full-fledged red.]

ImighthavebeenveryrudetosomeoneandIamtryingtogatherthecouragetoapologize.

[generalflirt]

I've got as little doubt of that as your ability to violently silence me, Asami-san.

[The difference is in the Death. Fields of death. jungles of death. mines of death. Nothing in Tokyo prepared him for that and... well, if he understands it right, she must be from Ikki's time]

[tokennonbender]

[Just give her a second to parse that...]

Wait. You were rude to someone here? Who?

[twinlionfists]

A-aang-san.

[Animals!]

[dogboy]

Uh huh. They remind me of the animals back home. What're they like?

[HIS WORLD IS WEIRD TOO, IKKI. HE HAS FIRE BREATHING LIZARDS THAT WALK ON TWO LEGS LIKE T-REXES BUT ARE WAY SMALLER AND LIVE IN A DENSE JUNGLE. There's also mermen fish with hooks and frogs of varying sizes that spit acid at you.]

[neversurrender]

No, there isn't really. Maybe if this place was a little bigger we could all have some breathing room. I doubt that'll happen though.

[rather_be_surfing]

Maybe so. From what I've heard though, the ocean wasn't always there, so you never know. That might change.

I'll be honest though, I hope it's not at the cost of the forest or anything. It's kinda nice.

[neversurrender]

Really? I've never heard that before.

It does add to the atmosphere, that's for sure. I can't imagine it going anywhere.

[rather_be_surfing]

If you dig back far enough in the journals, it's there. Some sort of catastrophe that took the shields down for a bit. Enough to flood the desert, anyway.

Guess we'll see.

[neversurrender]

So that was all desert before? Well, the more you know...

Makes you wonder what kind of catastrophe can do something like that.

[tokennonbender]

[Asami can't help but smile at that.]

You think Aang is going to be mad at you?

[It was hard to imagine Aang being mad at anyone...]

[twinlionfists]

He...he would be within his rights to be very angry with me. I was unnecessarily cruel to him when he attempted to be nice to me.

[tokennonbender]

I'm pretty sure he's not the type to hold a grudge, but...

What did you do?

[rather_be_surfing]

Something big. It gives some credence to their claim that the shield is up to protect us, though. There's been a few other incidents, too. I'm still trying to piece them together.

[neversurrender]

Yeah, I guess it does. I read up a little on past entries after I arrived, but I didn't get far. I guess now would be as good a time as any to try again.

[twinlionfists]

I-I do not wish to repeat the things that I said. They were very unlike me and I do not know why I said them. He just angered me irrationally for just...being there and insisting that I knew him previously. It was...disturbing now that I look back on it.

[Animals!]

[starfishlovesyou]

[HAH.]

Fuuko could never forget someone like you, Ikki-chan. [A kid with a starfish? That's like double the cute. The kind of cute you just can't forget about.] The starfish are Fuuko's absolute favourites, they're far too cute to be anything else!

[rather_be_surfing]

I just either pick a topic or a person, keep the page numbers I read at a time down and take notes. Less confusing that way.

[starfishlovesyou]

You haven't?! Fuuko is completely shocked!

[Who hasn't been to look for a starfish!? What poor, deprived souls.]

Helios-san, please never tell anyone that you have been living your life to the fullest as that would be a lie! If you go and look for a starfish sometime this summer then maybe you can start telling people that and it would be the truth, but until then it would be very untrue!
