Tamaki ✣ 055 ✣ Renaissance Faire Event
Who: somarium
Where: The park around Cafe des Reves (Residential District)
Style: First!
Status: OPEN
Notes: Backdated a little to early this afternoon, and running all through early evening!
[The time for the Renaissance Faire had finally arrived! The streets and sidewalks leading up to the cafe were properly decorated with posters, streamers, and ribbons. As passersby drew closer, they would easily see the extravagant scene set up before them.
Makeshift proper castle walls lined the front, complete with prop iron gates that were drawn up as a main entrance. Flags waved brilliantly from the high "towers." People in costumes stood waiting to greet and try to pull in any strangers who happened to try and walk past. And across the entrance, the large banner flag written in elegant script read the following:
The Host Club Presents
RENAISSANCE FAIRE
It even seemed to sparkle and random flower petals would fly past it each time someone looked at it. This was all coincidence of course.
But once inside, guests would find themselves wondering if they had been taken back in time or transplanted into yet another world. Or if Somarium was playing another AU trick on them. Somehow the park had been transformed. Folk music seemed to magically fill the air, and every so often a bard or some musicians would come skipping along singing a random tune. Everyone inside was perfectly dressed and costumed in the appropriate period clothing-some more extravagant and creative than others, of course. Traditional stalls and stages scattered about. Elegant stone paths lined the way with a large, makeshift cobbled path leading from the entrance straight to the cafe where most of the food lay waiting.
Towards the back and closer to the side were larger areas for various activities and games. Sword fighting, archery, pony rides, jousting (yes, jousting), magic, arts and crafts, performances of all kinds-they were all there ready for the curious wanderer to approach and try their hand. And of course, there were various dressing booths and many willing and able hands ready to make the guests join in the atmosphere. The large pond even had boats ready for anyone who wished to sail a bit along its waters, and farther back behind the cafe were smaller more quieter areas for those who preferred some peace.
Finally, at the very center was the Maypole, its long streaming ribbons held in place at the bottom until it was time for everyone to gather and join in.
The cleanup was going to take forever, but until then-have fun and enjoy~]

[ooc: Just a few quick notes. First, there will be both NPC as well as character volunteers running around. Even if you didn't get a chance to reply to Tamaki's original post, feel free to go ahead and help out! The more the merrier~
The post is organized with the following subthreads:
That should be it! Remember, this is a COMPLETELY OPEN LOG so everyone can join in! Have fun, everyone~]

The post is organized with the following subthreads:
- MINGLING/RANDOM - This is just where all the general mingling and any random shenanigans take place! Thread with one another, meet new people, thread hop, continue threads into the other subthreads-whatever you like! Great opportunity for CR.
- FOOD - Want to try all the various food they have to offer? It's all period base, so expect mostly meaty things like turkey legs, ham, corn, etc. There are of course fruits and salads available for those keeping a healthy diet! Wine, beer, and ale are available for adults, but no drunks allowed~ There will be at least an NPC on duty to serve, though anyone can help fill in the position if they so desire (and yes, spiking the drinks is totally allowed |D) Also, the dessert table is chock full of delicious goodies.
- SPECIAL ACTIVITIES. This is where are all the random performances, games, and activities fall under. There aren't any specific subthreads here, so feel free to just randomly make one up! If you do, put the name of the activity in the subject line of your comment so others can join in! So for example, if you want to start a "Jousting" thread, it would be labeled as such and posted under here. All magicians and other interested volunteers-whether you responded to Tamaki's original post or not-are free to start their own thread under here, as well. This included everyone else who may have special display threads that others could come in and watch.
- MAYPOLE. The Maypole would be scheduled sometime in the afternoon, but eh. Technicalities. Anyone is free to start it or just stare at it and wonder why it's even there. Have fun with it!
- DANCING. There is a place designated just for dancing, so grab a partner and go~
That should be it! Remember, this is a COMPLETELY OPEN LOG so everyone can join in! Have fun, everyone~]
