A festival for some holiday he didn't know, celebrating something he probably didn't bother with. Nonetheless, Lenalee asked, and he wanted to appease her (without making her feel like she was imposing... which she sort of was, but he didn't mind). He looked around at the sights and games, not particularly impressed by any of them.

Lenalee still thought she was imposing, and the last thing she wanted to do was get on Soren's nerves. But maybe it would do him some good to get out.

"The last time there was a real festival, I was too sick to take part in it. This is nice."

"It's noisy," he replied. He watched a festival game from afar -- a game of tossing rings to catch around bottles -- and quickly concluded that the large majority would be set to ensure a loss. In that one, the rings were heavy and recoiled easily, so that they bounced upon landing if thrown any higher than the bottlenecks. "Is there anything in particular you wanted to see here?"

It amused her, in a sort of sad way, how familiar the way Soren acted was.

"I just wanted to see what it was like here. As far as I know, I've never been to a festival."

Heather had been waiting for Subaru for quite some time. Well past their planned meeting time, in fact. Being impatient--she just wanted to be with Subaru, the impatience was excusable. She was excited!--Heather decided to track down the girl herself.

First, she went to Subaru's room. The girl could have easily eaten a gallon of ice cream and had fallen asleep or something similar. She knocked on the door. "Subaru! You in there?"

Ice cream and sleep? Subaru wasn't that gluttonous or lazy. Two pints and a power nap, tops!

"A-ah, Heather? Yeaaah, sorry!" Subaru called, a little frantic sounding. She was hoping Rukia would've been around to help her with this whole obi thing. It was hard to do by yourself~ so Subaru was there with a long length of blue fabric unfurling from her waist.

After a few moments the door peeked open, Subaru looking through a narrow crack in it. "Just, uh, slip in and shut the door behind you..."

Slip in and shut the door behind her? Either something was wrong or Subaru was planning something scandalous. But her sweet little Subaru wouldn't be capable of something like that, would she?

...Hmm.

Quickly and silently stepping into the room, Heather shut the door behind her. Turning around she saw the opposite of what she had been hoping: Subaru trying to put clothes on. Oh well, maybe next time!

She snickered. "Having some trouble getting dressed, hun?"

((Maybe next time indeed. No personality switches next week nope nope nope.))

"My name is Japanese~ I thought I'd maybe while I was doing this I'd randomly discover that I was good at it, or Mach Caliber would have some weird magic dressing power..."

"I'M SORRY I COULDN'T BE MORE HELP."

"Nah, that's okay, I mean, you don't have hands exactly. Well... I guess you kinda have one."

Subaru held her arms up, as surrendering herself to Heather~ or at least surrendering in the vain attempt to dress herself in these confusing traditional Japanese clothes she was not quite falling out of. "Sorry for the trouble~" She gave a little sheepish grin, embarassed, but she knew Heather would help her.

It didn't take long for Jeanne to arrive back to the town. The rest of her work shift wasn't very eventful, fortunately. The young maiden headed towards the Ari Apartment, already having changed out of her uniform after her shift. Seeing that no one had come yet, she waited patiently and contemplated what they could do at the festival.

Anna seemed a bit hesitant to go, likely for the large amount of people that would be attending. Jeanne bit her lip tentatively, contemplating what she would do if something were to go wrong. She'd take responsibility for it, as she had promised Anna. But... a discontented sigh escaped her lips as she started to rethink her promise, not that she could chnge it now.

Trying to change her thoughts to something more cheerful, after all, they were going to have a good time. She'd see to it.

Anna had dressed in a festival yukata before heading out. If you’re going to do something, may aswell do it properly. She had thought.

She immediately saw the young long-haired girl and made her way over. She sensed the others discomfort about Anna’s warning. Jeanne didn’t know about the Oni’s, but then again a lot of the people Anna spoke to still didn’t know. It didn’t matter too much to Anna if something happened but she’d rather not have chaos and panic all around her when she went out.

Not really one for conversation, Anna just nodded in greeting to Jeanne. Already she could hear the thoughts of the people at the festival. They might be easier to handle if Hao was here. Anna frowned at her own thought and dismissed it, she didn’t care if Hao was here. She didn’t want to see that asshole at all. “Are we waiting for anyone else?”

Hao had felt a bit bad about it, and it took more effort than he wanted, but he had tracked down Jeanne in the festival.

He was lucky spotting Anna there as well, he really wanted to apologize, but- she was being stubborn. Or more she was being Anna. The Shaman wandered towards the two of them, honestly he was a bit worried about the blond girl. What with the open area and the amount of people around.

"Jeanne~, Anna~." He greeted them happily.

After having successfully getting Ren to agree to come - although he was certain that the other boy would deny this claim - Lyserg headed over to the festival, arriving moments after Hao did.

Seeing all of them in one place made him think of his wish - "I wish to resolve my conflicting ideals." Was that... a good wish? Regardless, he'd already written it down.

"Hello, everybody. I'm not late, am I?" he asked, giving a small smile.

The festival was not quite loud, but the noise was eminent - in more ways than just hearing. He imagined it must be very noisy for Anna and Hao.

Even though he had asked Rika and a bunch of other people to go to the festival with him, in the end, Kukai decided to walk around the festival alone. It'd be more fun to meet up with them here, right? He tried to be the proper gentleman and wait for them, really. It was just... something about this festival felt familiar.

It wasn't even that hard for him to slip into a yukata. His hands instinctively knew how to tie it - and he found himself here, at the entrance, earlier than the rest of the group. How was he supposed to wait for them if they were slow? (Or maybe he was just early. He couldn't tell.)

"Jeez," He sighed, looking up. "They'd better get here soon."

Neku wandered around the festival, his hands stuck into his pockets. He hadn't bothered with a yukata, instead choosing to wear his old clothes from his world.

Honestly, he didn't know why he bothered coming. There was a decent crowd, and it was annoying to push through whenever he wanted to get anywhere. Still, festivals didn't happen every day... He figured he might as well try to enjoy it before it vanished.

Waiting was getting awfully boring. Kukai knew that he shouldn't be rude, but surely they wouldn't mind if he was just a bit late? He was hungry too. Making his way over to another part of the festival, he paused upon catching sight of someone familiar.

"Neku!" He called, running (well, fast walking. Running would kill him in this state) towards the other teen. "Hey, you enjoying yourself? You look pretty bored~"

Tamaki practically bounded down the stairs of the apartments, absolutely excited - no, ecstatic! - about the festival. Not only was he going to spend time with his friend Kyouya but he'd get to see his darling baby girl! And in a yukata at that! The moment he burst through the doors outside, he looked around for his two dear friends.

Haruhi had come a little early, as usual. Rather than her summer yukata which she had worn last time, she was wearing a simple t-shirt and a pair of khaki shorts. As Tamaki burst through the doors, she eyed the bizzarely enthusiastic look on his face and wondered what, exactly, he had been expecting to see out here.

"Hey, Tamaki," she said casually. "Have you seen Kyouya?"

"HAAAARUUUUUU---" He froze on the spot, absolutely crushed when he saw the absolutely not at all girly clothing she was sporting. "...hi.."

Barely managing to fight back tears, he made his way over to her and reached out to place his hands on her shoulders. Sniffle. "..you.. ah.. isn't it... customary to wear, you know - what are they called? - yukata? Haruhi would have been so pretty in one.." Though he wasn't one to talk, clad in perfectly normal daily attire, himself.

A person even slightly perceptive in the thought processes of men could have figured out that Tamaki just really wanted to see Haruhi in a yukata. In other words, anyone but Haruhi.

She looked down blankly at her t-shirt. "Well, I wore a yukata last time, but it was hard to move around in it, so I decided to just dress normally this time."
