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!

Might be what you need to get it done. Again, nothing wrong with that.

[Derek glances back over at the eggs.]

You know, I always wondered; do the patterns on these mean anything?

[folklorist]

[ Helios merely nods at those words. He knows they're true and it'll definitely take time to consider and even accomplish back home. He might not even be alive when or if it does come to pass. His thoughts are snapped back to the current situation as Derek asks that question. ]

Hm? Oh, ah, no I don't believe so. I-I mean I'm sure there's so christian symbolism on them, since the eggs are made in monasteries in Bukovina.

"Huh. Never noticed. Guess I'll have to check them out more closely sometime."

Anything linked to Christianity, and the church, tended to catch his attention. At least for purposes of study.

[folklorist]

Well you know. Decorating Easter eggs being a christian tradition has helped spread the designs around more. But I'm sure you can find those that have strictly religious undertones in their designs. These are more, ah, eclectic and random really.

[Derek nods. Something to chase after later, really.]

So you're originally from the area around Romania?

[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. ]

[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.

[folklorist]

[ Oh dear. Helios might tense just slightly at those words. He nods a little, a sheepish smile touching his lips. ]

Ah s-so you're a vampire hunter as well? Just like Buffy then, hm.

[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.
