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!

[And then there's a tilt of his head, still a grin on his face. Of course she said she'd hear him out, and while it was kind, a pang of guilt just went through him.

He didn't offer the same, did he? So, quick to remedy this situation:]

Just so you know, it works both ways though. If you got problems, tell me, okay? Friends look out for each other.

[Of course, this would be a one way street. He'd help her with her problems, but there was no way he'd let her help him with his.

In the end, it'd probably just end badly for him. However, off the depressing stuff:]

So, Tear, do you wanna go walk around and look at some of the booths together? If you're not busy that is.

[tokennonbender]

...That sounds terrible. No offense. Blimps aren't scary at all, they're...[How to explain...]

You know balloons? Blimps are large, balloons, very large, the size of buildings sometimes, filled with gas that makes them float. And then under them is a cabin where people ride.

[personafalsify]

But if it's with the spirits, that's definitely different, isn't it?

[neverplaysfair]

... Now that you mention it, I can't say I've had a good look at the history section of the library yet. How late do you suppose the various history books might go?

[ Because now he's curious. ]

[before_my_darkness]

[ Wait hold up. ]

... "Cutie mark"? I don't think I've heard of that before.

[complicatedliar]

They don't seem to be working out at all well for you.

[complicatedliar]

I've hunted bear before; true, they can be quite fearsome. Berserkers don't have claws. They normally stick to axes if memory serves.

They aren't built entirely like bears, you know. Whence the loincloth. Though some don't even bother with that, which can be a bit distracting.

[He grins, noting she seems to be hearing up a bit.]

It is a very cool way to dress though, I would think.

[noitatnacni]

“Yeah, definitely.” Especially if the force existed back so far, it predated history itself. “So what do they do? I mean, an existence that goes on like that for hundreds of years has to have a purpose.”

[noitatnacni]

If you’ve got the power and the training. I mean, there’s a lot of things I can’t do, but other people here can. And I know some really basic fire manipulation, but nothing like what you can do. My dad might have been able to come close, though. Plus he could do things like make a floating disc to fly on and shoot lightning.

[twodragons]

Yeah, a few. It looks like I've been lucky that way.

[He gestures around.]

They were mostly responsible for this thing, really.

[twodragons]

Well... yeah. But at least it's still manipulating elements, right?

[Animals!]

[starfishlovesyou]

A starfish playdate? [Best idea, ever.] Of course, that sounds perfect! Fuuko could bring Manami-san over and the two starfish can sit together and enjoy each other's company all day long. Fuuko can only imagine how happy the two starfish would be to have the chance to meet each other like that. Even though Fuuko can only imagine it, Fuuko thinks it is a very warm, heart touching thought!

[folklorist]

It's not that hard actually! Remembering the symbols is a bit difficult but I have faith in people who enjoy what they learn. Enthusiasm and hard work can go a long way. [ Helios' brow will lift slightly at Zatanna's description of magic in her world. It was more powerful than using the elements that's for certain. Changing an object into something else was a skill only mythologies had and sometimes incredibly strong magicians. ]

We can't do that in my world. Reality warping, I mean. Even as small as that sounds it's fairly difficult for humans to do. It's not to say that some can't do it. Houdini could and Aleister Crowley as well. But they were from powerful bloodlines and-and probably tapped into ley lines to help them achieve such feats. But freezing water is simple and it's quite handy for hot days too.

[ He laughs lightly as he looks around at the people mulling about. ] Yes. It...it was one of the stranger occurrences here. I wouldn't be surprised if people weren't themselves weeks after the fact.

[shenevermisses]

[That interests her.]

Really?

I was invited by a friend who... I think... had a lot to do with setting this up. You know Ikki?

[twodragons]

Maybe you can show me a few other tricks... or spells, or whatever they're called... at some point.

[He kind of wishes he could see how the magic her father knows compares to some of the firebending he's familiar with.]

[castbytheglyph]

Oh yeah, totally cool. It would really suck to be dressed like that when you're out fighting in the snow of something. Your toes would freeze off before you would even have the chance to land a hit!

[Unless all the hair helps to keep those berserker guys warm, that could cover it! Probably not all of it in the case of going sans loincloth, but anyway-]

Phew, man is it getting warm out. Somebody turn the- [Hic!] Turn the sun down for a sec.

[ex_tessen852]

"They keep the balance in my world. Without them, well, a whole war could start. One that could last over a hundred years." She says because she knows. Because it happened.

[Animals!]

[toujoursfluer]

We have...an interesting history. [and she'll leave it at that] But I'm sure her country is in wonderful hands.

[rather_be_surfing]

That's pretty impressive. He's an okay guy?

[rather_be_surfing]

It is what it is.

At least they have the sense not to try and do my job for me.

[therewerefifty]

I'm not quite sure. The one I'm reading follows up to the end of the nineteenth century, but I believe there's at least one that follows on from there.

[There's not a huge selection, but more than she'd expect for a... a multi-world library. But then again, a lot of people do seem to come from Japan.]

[elevatoravatar]

She shakes her head and looks down, almost afraid.

"Magic, the darkest most terrible kind of magic. A song sung in languages birthed before time was time and before mortals walked the earth."

[complicatedliar]

It is the fire in their blood that keeps them warm. Which I believe is a bit helped by mead too, you know.

[He raises an eyebrow.]

Shall I fetch you a loincloth?

[complicatedliar]

Though you have already complained that they tell you how you ate allowed to do your job.

I don't think I'd put up with it.

[ex_tessen852]

Aang is an amazing guy.
