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 what answer would you like?" he asked. Why would she want anything to like, from him? They were not quite mortal enemies, but neither were they friends. Not even close.

He laughed softly. "And so are we all the victims of choices not our making. That is the foundation upon which all realms are built."

"Like you said: one I won't hear." They weren't friends and they would never be, and yet Loki had come to the gallery and told her of Tony's panic attacks. Whether it was out of regard for Rogue or Tony or Pepper, she still hoped on some level that he might understand what had been wrong about all he'd done. It'd make it easier for them to come to peace with it.

But peace remained a rare thing, and his laugh only earned him a hard look. Even if he was laughing at the circumstances and not at her, it wasn't a truth Pepper found so amusing. "Maybe. That doesn't make it right."

"Redemption is a pretty fantasy. As is the notion that right and wrong have any meaning at all." He smiled crookedly, resting his chin on one hand. "But I find it charming that you continue to hope, particularly since I'd wager not a one of you would believe me should I start singing that song."

“Or maybe what you’re saying is an excuse to do what you want.” Because the people who had disregarded any concept of right and wrong, who focused solely on ambition most recently in Pepper’s life? Had done horrible things to her. Unspeakable, unforgivable things. He may have thought they lacked meaning but Pepper knew they were necessary. And redemption—

Redemption would only matter to someone who wanted it.

“It isn’t a quick fix, Loki. Saying you’re sorry doesn’t erase everything. It’s just a start.” One step he wouldn’t take, and Pepper had had her fill of this conversation. “But since it’s pointless, I think I’ll keep looking around now.”

"I require no excuses to do as I like," he said with something like cheer. Justification wad the tool of doubt, in his experience. He'd spent centuries doubting himself because of the lies he'd been told. He was done with that, refused to shiny at all, at least not where someone who would try to take advantage of it would see.

He snorted. "Nothing is ever good enough." While unspoken, the, "For you people," was implicit in his tone.

"Have fun. Do take a beard with you."
