[Want to be dressed up? Want to talk to her for other reasons? Want to generally interact with Haruhi (dressed up like this, she felt a little nostalgic okay or she had a different one in the version of E8 she recalls) then do feel free here]

[crytearsofjoy]

[Before the fireworks, or even making her wishes, Winry wraps an arm around Haruhi's.]

This is nice. I like the lanterns.

[godbent]

[She smiles, glad that she got Winry out after all]

Yeah, they were a good call, all things considered.

[crytearsofjoy]

It's a little hot though. I hope we get a breeze.

[Giles will be just...sitting off to the side and out of the way for most of the night.

The first thing he does when he notices the setup is take a bamboo shoot to write a wish on.

Other than that? He'll be around, writing in his notebook by the light of a lantern, and waiting for the fireworks. He might approach people he knows, and he'll certainly be making trips to the tea stall and food stalls, but otherwise Giles seems a bit subdued tonight.

Apart from some actual excitement about the fireworks, of course.]

['Sup, Link. The bamboo shoot is turned over with a quick movement that shouldn't be too obvious, obscuring the wish...just in case Link might catch a glimpse. Giles looks up and smiles in welcome at Link.]

Yes, it is.

I didn't know you were familiar with the Tanabata festival, Link.

[Jay hadn't heard anything about this celebration. So when he wanders around town and sees the gathering by the Brigade HQ, he goes to see what's going on, to satisfy his curiosity.]

[consultmybooks]

[Giles, sipping some tea by a lantern on the edge of things, doesn't look up when Jay passes by. He does, however, speak.]

Familiar with the Tanabata festival at all, Jay?

[unseenspy]

[Jay passes by, not even noticing Giles until he speaks.]

Giles? Not at all.

[consultmybooks]

I admit, I'm not terribly familiar with it either, beyond the basics. It completely slipped my mind that it was tonight.

[It's been a while since Touya has gone to a festival. He did arrive sometime in November after all, and while there was cherry blossom viewing, festivals were sorely lacking.]

[But, not everyone was Japanese, and there had been plenty of other things to worry about. After he and Yuki and Yue were kidnapped for experiments though, he realized that he could use some fun that wasn't somehow tainted.]

[He wasn't expecting someone to actually throw a festival he was familiar with, though. Touya wanders over, recognizing the food stalls and lanterns first. Wow... quite a set-up.]

[With the heat wave that's been going on the last two days, Leon was somewhat inspired to bring out Rena's carrot juice recipe and make something for the celebration. ...He also left the extra stuff at home so he'd have more for later.

So he'll be at one of the food stalls for his obligatory shift, pouring drinks and making sure the there's enough food to be grabbed by passersby. While being dressed up to Haruhi's standards, of course.]

[Leon blinks a few times at the greeting; he'd been zoning out in the process of refilling the food displayed. When he recognized the long-eared boy, he smiles back.]

Better than before, I think. [It takes a moment to think back to that experiment.] Not so busy this time, huh?
