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!

Yeah! I've got faith in you, Twilight. Do you do lots of fortune telling in your world?

[savedtheworld]

That's Noishe alright! And he's really friendly so it shouldn't be a problem. Well, talking to Raine first is probably best.

Oh right! Temari does live in a desert. I can't say I've had good experiences with deserts... but I bet they can be pretty.

[twodragons]

I don't know. I think they can learn something like it, at least with the spirits. But I don't know if it would be exactly the same as bending.

[shenevermisses]

[And yet, Clove knows what he means. She's wondered every once and awhile what she'd be now if the Malnosso had brought her from the Games. Or from before. Rather than after she died. Would it be better or worse?]

I live with one of them. Cato. We... grew up together. He always knows if I'm not at the apartment, I'm at the camp.

[twinlionfists]

I will attempt to talk to her about Noishe then. Kiba-kun is my teammate, so I am used to dogs because of Akamaru, but he does not resemble any dog from home that I have seen.

I have seen the deserts from Temari-san's homeland for missions. They can be pretty but a little lonely.

However, I would be interested in hearing about your world, if you do not mind telling me about it.

[twodragons]

Uh... right. [Her explanation went right over his head, but he'll go with it.]

I've just never heard of people bending, well, stuff before.

[twodragons]

Oh! I know him. I was just talking to him the other day. He sounds alright.

[Zuko knows nothing about either of them, but still.]

[shenevermisses]

[She smiles a bit.]

Yeah. He is. We take care of each other.

[twodragons]

That's good. I know some people get stuck here on their own, so it's nice to know you've got someone you're already familiar with watching your back.

[reminded]

[Layton watches her puzzle it out with crossed arms. When she stacks the two cups it becomes evident that he won't have to wait for long, and he spreads his hands in praise at the end of her explanation.]

Brilliant. The definition of what's "in" a cup can be a bit vague, after all, and you have every right to take advantage of a puzzle's wording.

In any case, you've answered correctly, which means you've earned a prize. [He sets a top hat filled with paper slips next to the cups.] Draw a number and we'll see where luck lands you.

[noitatnacni]

Well, we don't actually call it that. It's just the best way I have of explaining it without getting technical. [Because she could; using magic responsibly requires understanding how it affects the world. As much as she throws it around, Zatanna still has great respect for what sorcery does.]

If it makes you feel better, not everyone can do it in my world either. Most people don't even realize that magic is real.

[therewerefifty]

He seems quite impressive. At home, the largest flying animals we have are merely the birds. I can't imagine actually flying on a bison.

[twodragons]

Most people in my world don't consider magic to be real either, even with bending.

[He stares at the towel now in his hands.]

Is it just a towel again? It won't turn back?

[therewerefifty]

[He has a point. It's naive to think such changes could merely be witnessed without being drawn into them.]

I suppose I shall settle for reading all about them instead.

[Animals!]

[fourthgenerationprincess]

That sounds like exactly the sort of ruler a country needs. ... Did you two not get along?

[fourthgenerationprincess]

Twilight's mouth drops open. "That sounds... incredible. Far beyond anything I've ever encountered. How could something sing the world to death?"

[fourthgenerationprincess]

Depends on how long you live! Most ponies usually find their cutie mark before they become an adult.

[fourthgenerationprincess]

[ Twilight hesitates, then pulls her hat off. ]

Actually, no. The truth is... I'm not making predictions based on the fates or anything. I'm just listening to people and taking my best guesses as to what will happen to them. I could be totally wrong, but it's fun in the process!

[tokennonbender]

I've never flown on one either.

I've been on blimps though. They're machines that fly, but they're much larger than bison.

[winds_voice]

[He nods, though he has to add.] I am not sure how the Agkelons themselves would react to it, but they would not hurt them at least. They are not used to seeing people from elsewhere. They find it hard to trust them.

As for Bravura... I cannot say. It seems the Emperor is not of particularly sound mind. He fears others so he seeks to conquer and wipe them out before they reach him first. He is afraid of death and there are many who would hunt him down for the things he has done to his people.

[falenandawn]

Indeed..... and I believe that it would be unlikely to find booths on such a specific topic here, here of all places. [He squeezes Tear's hand gently, hoping to help her calm. He didn't much like the teasing, either.]

[castbytheglyph]

[Hmm. She's not sure how much she likes the idea of something she ate actually sticking to her stomach, but eh, her stomach can take care of itself in the end. It can sort out anything bad like super sticky honey!]

Hair isn't all that scary though, right? There are way scarier intimidation tactics than having outta control body hair.

[castbytheglyph]

Sure thing! You don't mind if I just borrow the platform you were using before when you were doing your thing, yeah?

[She wouldn't want her artes to hit anybody after all, though her question might have come off a little better if she had waited for an answer and wasn't already walking over to the stage.]

[all7seas]

"I will, then!" And he meant it. And he'd HAVE to introduce Avatar Aang to rum one of these days.

[all7seas]

Faster and faster the shells whipped around, matched only by whipping dreadlocks as Jack moved and worked. Very self assured, he showed her the result with a flourish: three plain white shells, sitting innocently on the dirty box.

"There. Now choose."
