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!

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.

[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.

[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.

[neversurrender]

Looks like you have a pretty good system down. I think it would be impossible to keep track of anything otherwise. The pages seem to go on forever.

[rather_be_surfing]

Yeah, they do sometimes. I guess it's just a question of going in with some sort of focus. Once you get a method down though, it gets easier.

[neversurrender]

[He chuckles.] Reminds me of when I was in school and had to work out a method to study.

[rather_be_surfing]

[He grins]

That's where i picked it up.

[neversurrender]

Great minds think alike.

[rather_be_surfing]

I guess so.

[It was a pleasant conversation, and he was liking the guy, but Derek was starting to feel restless. Which meant he'd probably start talking in circles soon. With a nod and another smile, he excuses himself.]

I'll see you around. Let me know when that baseball thing happens.
