The Cultural Fair!

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!
tokennonbender: (What *is* that?)

Oh...no. I can't, I mean...

[She trails off.]

Well. I mean, I hadn't thought of it before.
therewerefifty: (the hair?)

[personal profile] therewerefifty 2013-06-28 11:01 pm (UTC)(link)
[She smiles a little.] Sorry. I didn't mean to put you on the spot.
tokennonbender: (Mmmhmm you know it.)

[personal profile] tokennonbender 2013-06-29 02:25 am (UTC)(link)
No, it's fine. I've just never thought to try.

[She smiles slyly.]

I might have to, though.
therewerefifty: (let's try this again)

[personal profile] therewerefifty 2013-06-29 11:14 am (UTC)(link)
I wish you luck. [Her smile is wider, now.] It looks like quite a challenge. I wonder how long they plan to keep the gates up.
tokennonbender: (Oh this should be sweet.)

[personal profile] tokennonbender 2013-06-30 02:13 am (UTC)(link)
I think they keep them up all the time. That's why they aren't here on the grounds themselves, and you have to take Appa to get there.

[She is a bit distant though.]

It really would be a challenge...
therewerefifty: (er)

[personal profile] therewerefifty 2013-07-01 01:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Appa is... the huge... [Herein lies a hand movement that might be attempting to encompass a flying bison. That thing is kind of. Terrifying.]
tokennonbender: (Anyway let's party!)

[personal profile] tokennonbender 2013-07-03 04:04 pm (UTC)(link)
[Asami can't help but laugh softly.]

Yes. He's a flying bison.
therewerefifty: (rueful smile)

[personal profile] therewerefifty 2013-07-05 05:56 am (UTC)(link)
He's amazingly big. Are they common where you're from?
tokennonbender: (Okay don't tell anyone but...)

[personal profile] tokennonbender 2013-07-05 07:43 am (UTC)(link)
They aren't common at all, but there are a handful? And they're all that big.

[Asami was intimidated by them too, but she'd never admit it!]
therewerefifty: (respectful silence)

[personal profile] therewerefifty 2013-07-07 01:47 am (UTC)(link)
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.
tokennonbender: (I can do this.)

[personal profile] tokennonbender 2013-07-07 09:34 am (UTC)(link)
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.
therewerefifty: (judging you)

[personal profile] therewerefifty 2013-07-09 11:57 am (UTC)(link)
They sound...equally terrifying. [Her smile is wry.] I'm several centuries behind many people in Luceti. This isn't the first I've heard of flying machines, but we don't have any such thing at home. We don't even have running water.

[Running water is the best luxury to come from the future ever.]
tokennonbender: (That's amazing I want three.)

[personal profile] tokennonbender 2013-07-10 03:55 am (UTC)(link)
...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.
therewerefifty: (looking down)

Sorry! I lost the tag!

[personal profile] therewerefifty 2013-07-16 01:14 am (UTC)(link)
[This is an unconvinced and nervous look. Er. People riding under giant balls of... gas?]

Is it safe...?
tokennonbender: (Eh it's no big deal.)

[personal profile] tokennonbender 2013-07-17 06:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh of course. [A beat.] Well, as safe as anything, really...

[Asami might have a skewed sense of personal safety anyway.]
therewerefifty: (heh)

[personal profile] therewerefifty 2013-07-18 04:48 am (UTC)(link)
I'll take your word for it. [She smiles sheepishly.] Even so, I think I shall be in no hurry to try flying on one.

[Not that she really can here anyway, but principles!]
tokennonbender: (I can do this.)

[personal profile] tokennonbender 2013-07-19 02:12 am (UTC)(link)
Well, there aren't any here so that doesn't matter...

[Although...she suddenly looks rather thoughtful..]
therewerefifty: (kind)

[personal profile] therewerefifty 2013-07-21 05:34 am (UTC)(link)
There may be eventually. I've heard this place goes through great changes every year or two. [Her tone is faintly teasing.]
tokennonbender: (I think maybe...no.)

[personal profile] tokennonbender 2013-07-21 08:21 am (UTC)(link)
Oh? [She catches the teasing but is still curious.] Do you know what happened last time?
therewerefifty: (the hair?)

[personal profile] therewerefifty 2013-07-22 02:16 am (UTC)(link)
I think it was the electricity. The energy that powers this place. [That three different people explained to her on the first day she was here.] We don't have electricity at home. Neither did Luceti for a long time, I hear. And then it happened overnight.
tokennonbender: (Just give me a moment.)

[personal profile] tokennonbender 2013-07-22 06:39 am (UTC)(link)
Hmm. That seems like a fairly large jump. I wonder what the next one would be.

Electricity was fairly new back home too.
therewerefifty: (under hood)

[personal profile] therewerefifty 2013-07-23 01:30 am (UTC)(link)
Really? [She tilts her head curiously.] Did it happen before you were born?
tokennonbender: (Okay don't tell anyone but...)

[personal profile] tokennonbender 2013-07-25 01:28 am (UTC)(link)
Oh yes. And they still need fire benders to make it, but they've learned to store it at least...
therewerefifty: (under hood)

[personal profile] therewerefifty 2013-07-26 05:02 am (UTC)(link)
Fire benders can use lightning? [How odd.] That sounds rather dangerous.
tokennonbender: (I can do this.)

[personal profile] tokennonbender 2013-07-26 10:24 am (UTC)(link)
It's a specialty for some fire benders. And it can be! I've seen one lose control, but most of the time they're very careful.
