Mist wandered around the festival, taking in the sights alone. She'd thought about asking Tsuna here, but it just didn't seem right to ask anything of anyone lately. But she'd always gone to places with Tsuna. Now, as she walked in the crowd without him, she felt oddly conspicuous as one of the people here alone, even though she knew there must've been plenty without companions. Yet, a festival is a festival is a festival, and she figured that she could still enjoy the games alone. She stopped at the ring toss and bought a round.

Bridget had been running around the festival for quite some time, doing his best to take in all there was to see as quickly as possible. There were so many interesting things that he had a hard time concentrating on any one in particular. Surprisingly, he hadn't seen any of his friends, but he was entertaining himself enough that he didn't mind. He could meet someone new, anyways!

With that thought in mind, he came across a lonely-looking girl at one of the ring-toss booths. He wasn't sure if she wanted to be alone, but he decided to walk over and watch her play the game. Maybe she'd talk to him on her own!

After finishing her round, without a single ring caught on a bottle, she replaced the basket in the vendor's stand and turned away. Well, that was sort of interesting. She spotted a youngish blonde girl near her, seeming to watch her, and smiled at her before wandering over to some sort of dart balloon game.

yo_yo_mercenary August 14 2008, 04:32:01 UTC

The girl definitely seemed nice! Maybe she was shy. That made Bridget a bit upset, since the girl was all alone...

He followed her over to the balloon game and watched her again. After a few moments, he decided to play, too. He got the darts and after several highly effeminate throws, the balloons were left intact and the darts dangling in the wall, all far from any of the targeted balloons.

"W-What? Aww, I missed them all?

mistshine August 14 2008, 14:47:30 UTC

Mist had pierced a single balloon -- not enough to qualify for a real prize. She picked out a tiny lollipop as her consolation prize and popped it in her mouth. As she turned around, she saw the same blonde girl again. Maybe she wants to do something with me, but she's too shy? Mist wondered. She took the lollipop out and waved over, saying, "Hi!"

yo_yo_mercenary August 14 2008, 15:31:53 UTC

Bridget grumbled at the balloons under his breath. They were obviously very agile if he had managed to miss them all! Perhaps he would return later to attempt to regain his pride. That was assuming, of course, he even remembered, which he likely wouldn't.

He perked up when the girl spoke. "Oh, hiii!" He was happy that she had been the one to say hello; maybe she wasn't as lonely as Bridget had thought she looked! He waved and skipped over to her. "My name is Bridget! I don't think I've seen you before."

mistshine August 14 2008, 15:47:34 UTC

"I'm Mist. I don't think I've seen you, either." And now she was back to comfortably chatting -- she really wasn't fond of being quiet and wandering around by herself.

yo_yo_mercenary August 14 2008, 16:30:23 UTC

"Well, we have now!" Bridget giggled. The girl definitely seemed less lonely than he had thought. Maybe he had been wrong. "I've been doing stuff alone all day 'cause I haven't found anyone I know. You wanna go do some stuff together? I bet it'd be a lot better than being alone!"

mistshine August 14 2008, 16:39:40 UTC

She grinned. That happened to be exactly what she wanted to do. "Sure! That'd be great. Anything here you really want to see?"

yo_yo_mercenary August 14 2008, 18:50:49 UTC

"Uuuh, hmm..." Bridget pondered. He had been jumping around from thing to thing all day that he had probably seen everything already, even if only for a split second.

During the silence of his pondering, his stomach let out a long growl. It wasn't until now that he realized that, during his scouring of the festival, he had completely forgotten to eat anything. Plus, running around like he was took a lot of energy.

He blushed. "U-uh, um. Maybe a snack first?"

mistshine August 14 2008, 21:44:35 UTC

Glancing around for food stands, Mist nodded. "I think there are some snack stands over here...." She spotted a stand serving some sort of fishy-smelling balls. They looked very foreign, and hesitantly, she asked, "Do you know what these are?"

yo_yo_mercenary August 14 2008, 21:57:23 UTC

Bridget shook his head. He was pretty sure he had never seen anything like those before. They were just little brown balls, sure, but he didn't know of any little brown balls that smelled like they did.

"But we should try some anyways! That's part of the fun of being at a festival, right?" He sniffed again. "Besides, they do smell good..."

mistshine August 14 2008, 22:11:29 UTC

Mist, not being as hungry, though they smelled interesting, but not necessarily good. But she definitely agreed on one point. "Sure, let's have a try." She loved trying out new things. After the previous person walked away with his order, she ordered a small skewer.

yo_yo_mercenary August 14 2008, 22:23:27 UTC

Bridget nodded in agreement and, after Mist had ordered, he purchased his own small skewer. He sniffed it again. It definitely did smell nice. It was a strong, savory smell.

Excitedly, he bit half of one of the little balls...and immediately gagged. The taste didn't sit anywhere near as well with him as the smell did and, looking at the inside of one of the balls, his face blanched. I-i-it looked like an octopus! Gross!

Bridget flailed, tossed the skewer in a garbage can, and ordered the largest drink he could from the vendor and guzzled it down.

mistshine August 14 2008, 22:40:24 UTC

Mist giggled at Bridget's reaction, pausing for a moment to swallow her own bite. She wouldn't call it good, but it was ... interesting. And nice and warm and flavorful. "I like it," she offered, and wondered if Bridget had enough appetite left to try anything else.

yo_yo_mercenary August 14 2008, 23:20:51 UTC

Bridget's appetite was a bit damaged...but then, he saw what was likely to be the most adorable snack he'd ever seen! In the vendor's stall immediately next to the takoyaki booth were what looked like fish-shaped cakes. The most adorable-looking fish Bridget had ever seen, to be specific.

There was a little sign. "Tai...yaki. Taiyaki!"

He had no idea what it meant and Bridget's curiosity got the better of him. He asked the vendor if they were filled with octopuses and the man--with a strange look on his face--answered no and that they weren't filled with any sea food at all. Bridget bought two of the adorable little fishy snacks and, after nibbling on one, he learned that they were actually filled with a very sweet-tasting paste. He quickly finished one off.

"M-Mist! These are so gooood! So much better than the octopus things." He shoved the second one in her direction. "Try it!"
