GAME BOOTHS

[fox_wench]

[There are a number of game booths scattered around the city. The ever-popular fishing game, ring toss, shooting games and many, many more.]

[vimyridge]

[...he's hitting up the ring toss. And miiiiight be a bit bad at it.]

[delinquenthero]

Hey, axe-guy, how's the old swinging arm?

[At least he remembers him from the pirate ship... Just not his name.]

[vimyridge]

[...axe-guy? Seriously? Just how did that one go down again? Because he seems to be staring at him as if he has two heads.]

FOOD STALLS

[fox_wench]

[Smell that? It's the varying food stalls you can find! Most of them have more traditional food--like Buddha's delight, mandarin oranges, noodles and nian gao--but others have foods that can be found, though they're few and far between.

/ALL UP IN DIS

[busagi]

[Aw man! There's so many great smells floating throughout the city! So of course, Alice is running about and stuffing her face at each and every one of them!

But wait...]

What kind of food is this?

[Alice hasn't seen some of these delicious looking dishes before. Ah but that doesn't matter! food is food so she's going to eat it either way!

Care to bother her? Or maybe tell her what kinds of dishes these are? Perhaps you're also out and about scarfing down food like there's no tomorrow? Might as well be piggies together! C: ]

/JOINS IN THIS ENDEVOR

[ninthserenade]

[Stuffing your fat face, you say? This Nobody is so there.

When he hears the voice he looks up from a plate of dumplings with a thoughtful look before he pops another in his mouth.]

Who cares? It's amazing!

/RESPONDS LATE ;; GDIT GOAT STOP EATING MY NOTIFS

[busagi]

[She glances over to the unfamiliar voice, her cheeks puffed with food. She gives him a once over before swallowing the food contents in her mouth and resting her eyes on his plate of dumplings.

Boy did they look delicious.]

Hey hey! What are those!?

CLOTHING STALLS

[fox_wench]

[How could it be any kind of festival without the appropriate clothing? It seems there are a number of stalls where individuals can find their own traditional clothing to wear if they so choose. Of course, they can also just browse and try on the clothing!]

[delinquenthero]

... Not bad. [While he was forced into his new clothes by an all-too-eager local, he's surprisingly content with her selection; very much to his liking--That is, until said girl called for him to stop, and... suddenly puts on a pair of bunny ears on him. And voila.]

Now isn't this familiar? [He laughs to himself, and lazily waving a fan in left hand, he looks back behind him, curious how many others are dressing up.]

[bringslife]

Nice ears.

[she hasn't dressed up, but she's flitting from place to place, enjoying the festivities]

[delinquenthero]

Thank you, I hate them, myself. ["Hate" is a strong word, but with his casual response it's pretty clear he's used to being dressed up against his will, for some reason.]

How are you enjoying the festival?

GENERAL MINGLING

[fox_wench]

[Isn't it a lovely day for a walk down the streets amongst the cherry trees? Maybe you'll bump into your friends, or meet someone new!]

[prominence_glow]

[After wandering around and trying his hand at some games, Lea has retreated to the cherry blossom trees, happy where there's flowers to remind him of home. A small bag with his winnings hangs from another branch, and he has a small box filled with various sticks, all with something on them, whether meat, vegetables, or just dango. He seems happy enough.]

hope this is okay!

[glubs]

[Feferi felt like a little fish in a big pond at the moment. So much of this culture wasn't hers -- what were cherry blossoms, and these food sticks? It was all a little bit confusing. But she wanted to stay, to find out more about the humans who lived around her.

Retreating towards the pretty trees, she spots someone.]

Oh, hello!

Glad Lea put on his troll attracting perfume on today. C:

[prominence_glow]

Huh?

[Blinking, Lea looks down before grinning back and waving.] Hey there! Hold on-

[With some adjusting, he swings down, hanging by his legs and holding up the box with food in it so that it doesn't fall out.]

Hey, you're one of those trolls, right?

LANTERN FESTIVAL

[fox_wench]

[Later in the evening, a new type of booth becomes active: booths that are giving out lanterns! Take one, have it lit and carry it with you!]

[ourshininghope]

[ After having found a really cute dress to wear thanks to the clothing stalls of the festival, Usagi sees a large crowd of people around another kind of booth. ]

Hm?

[ Thanks to her height, she can't really see over most of the heads so she starts bouncing up and down to get a better look at what's going on! ]

[ninthserenade]

[And standing nearby in his new bright blue vest that he found at the same stall is Demyx, peering up over someone's shoulder with the aid of a small geyser.]

Hey, what's going on up there?

[ourshininghope]

[ As Usagi hops up, she notices a familiar figure hovering over the rest of the crowd and a bright smile spreads on her lips. ]

He-

[ The moon rabbit stops hopping, realizing that he had only seen her in her senshi form and ponders for a moment before she weaves her way through the crowd to stand close to the small geyser. ]

Hi! Can you see what's going on over there? I can't see over all these people.
