[ OPEN ] CULTURAL FESTIVAL
Who: Anyone and everyone! Yes, even you.
When: IC Date: 6/9 || OOC Date: 3/20
Where: Centered in CERES Academy but spilling out into the streets!
What: It's all fun and games until someone chokes on cotton candy or gets a black eye from jousting. The player plot of the cultural festival!
Rating/Warning: Totally PG, family-approved fun! Please poke me if this changes.
Flyers have been up for the past two weeks, students have been all atwitter (whether this is good or bad chatter is up in the air), outside help has been enlisted by a bunch of weird adults and finally the day has dawned upon us.
The cultural festival is here.
And it looks like stepping into an alternate dimension of Cerealia, a far cry from the Hunger Games that many had to endure just days ago - and maybe that's the whole damn point. Wander around, have some greasy comfort food, and win a stuffed animal to muffle your tears into or something. It's all gonna be okay.

I » PREGAME-FESTIVAL Let's back up a little bit. Set-up for the festival was intended to begin at 8 PM the night before to allow all groups an hour - maybe even two! - to set up their booths so that everything could be pristine and ready. . . . . Of course that didn't happen. So here you are, in the gym of the school where it looks like a crafts store went to die. Don't slip on the glitter glue! Don't touch that feather boa, the drama club might need it! Is that a soccer ball while everyone else is trying to prepare? Do you want to die? The clock continues to tick later and later, a groan coming from everyone in the room when it strikes 3 AM, but there's nonetheless an air of dedication here. Everyone's working - are you? - and this seems like a great time for caffeine overdose and some late night confessions.
II » WELCOME Whether it was through hard work or sheer dumb luck, the festival is underway!! There are sounds of yelling, students competing for patrons - "Care to have your fortune read?" or "Check out this kickass magician!" - or cries of defeat - "That balloon game was impossible - how am I going to get my McCeres plushie now?!" and "What's up with that scavenger hunt?" - You can already hear the sizzle of deliciously greasy food in the distance mixed in with whatever terribly Teen Pop mix they've got playing in the background. It's a little hard not to feel excited! Or... maybe it is, given the fact that you might not have wanted to end up here in the first place?! But the festival is spilling out into the streets! Pushy teenagers and teachers alike might've just tried to corral you in here like cattle to a brightly-colored, teeny bopper slaughter....
But if you look like you're not at all interested in having fun, this may be the time when a snowball smacks you right in the back of the head, suddenly implanting the idea of.... fun?
III » INFLATABLE HELL Whether you were running after reading some horrible gossip about you or getting way into playing the part of a fleeing criminal in the mock trial, you've found yourself in what every single carnival needs and deserves: a bounce house. But wait - that's not all?! Apparently this is some kind of inflatable course from hell as you realize that once you enter, there's even more waiting for you. Yes, that's right, welcome to the squishiest obstacle course of your life. When you make it to the end, you still have one last task: joust for your honor against the person that you've ended up with or break out your intense sumo knowledge for the exact same thing. The student overseeing this area just nods solemnly with an air of 17-year-old sage wisdom. "There can only be one."
IV » ANIME FOOD So that's what you're here for. Well congratulations friend, they've got every sort of carnival contraption or festival delight and dish - apparently this is where the culture can be found! But... but oh god, what's that? The hell is that?! Apparently there's an eating competition for these heart attacks if you really wanna try your luck.
Also hey - is this cotton candy really sticky to anyone else? Careful, don't reach too close to that other person or you just might end up stuck together...?!
V » AFTERPARTY So... where were you after the school festival officially concluded? Were you in the middle of a food coma? Were you trying to steal a giant sumo suit before they could be closed down? Were you caught on the ice of the frozen swimming pool? Drowning under the weight of discount flowers? Hopefully, you're not caught up in the craziness of a cleaning crew turned cleaning competition... or are you?
Either way, there's no way that this party is going to end with a fizzle.... but rather with a bang! Literally. The sky is lit up with a sudden firework, followed by another and anotherandanotherandanother-- except don't those... seem to be a little close? They're deafeningly loud and blindingly beautiful and perhaps that what covers up Lili's distressed screech of, "Those weren't authorized!" Hopefully all the little sparks extinguish in the air before they get too close... Kindly help make sure nothing catches on fire? Stand there and actually enjoy the show? Start a lawsuit for your sudden bout of blindness and deafness? Your move.
VI » WILDCARD ME UP For the record, there is a medical tent for anyone who gets a little tooviolentexcited during the events. And besides all the festivities mentioned here, there's also the typical bunch of carnival games and prizes, too. Maybe even a maid cafe. Also hey, is that smell of something burning... normal? Do we have a fire on our hands?! Or is there some other type of carnival gimmick that you really love but didn't get written up here? Feel free to make it right on up! Have fun, everyone!
no subject
I'm not sure what to expect, personally. [ she shrugs her shoulders. ] Maybe there are fireworks?
no subject
I don't think Lili put those down in the plans. I only helped in some parts but...
no subject
[ things that always make things special with them - the sky.
she takes his free hand and drags him into the school building, not saying a word. it's getting dark and some shops are closing, but who cares. athena wants to do this. hopefully, there aren't any students who will bar them from getting to their destination. ]
no subject
Most people seem to be outside, anyway, so he shuts up and just trusts that she knows what she's doing here. ]
no subject
but it's fine.
athena keeps quiet, though, concentrating on finding the rooftop. ]
no subject
He shifts his hand to hold hers better the longer they're walking anyway, tempted to start chatting because the silence was just as eerie too.
But it's calming, a huge contrast to the grounds outside. ]
no subject
You can talk, you know.
[ they're going higher and higher, they're probably at the fifth floor now. and there's the door to the rooftop! ]
no subject
Sorry, I was just wondering what we're doing? Where are we going?
[ No really, where are they going?
Though by the time he's asked they're almost at the rooftop, and all he can tack on is a soft: ] Nevermind, then. You know, if you keep coming to these sorts of places I think I'm going to have to start worrying.
no subject
You asked if I trusted you the other day. Do you not trust me?
no subject
I trust you. I was just confused and... the last part was a joke. [ An awkward one, but one... ]
no subject
she's about to speak when there's a popping noise coming from below, and fireworks can be seen in the sky. that's where her attention is now, and she's smiling. it's not a shooting star or anything, but it's absolutely beautiful. ]
Phone tags from subway living the dream
Only when the fireworks start he jumps a bit, stepping half a step back until he can see all the colours in the sky. Fireworks have been around in China since forever, but not in Camelot, and it's like the planetarium all over again but this time he can't cover hos mouth because of the dragon he ends up having to just bite his lip and hope that the other people up here are more focused on the lights themselves to notice he's being swept away.
There are too many new experiences in this world. Help. ]
living the dream indeed
she doesn't think much when she grabs him by the tie and kisses him on the lips.
sorry for all your new experiences. this young lady wants one, too. ]
i want more subway now
It stops his breath too, though definitely not in a bad way. As surprises go, it was definitely a good one.
When he manages to pull back though, he looks confused because obviously he doesn't know about New Year's traditions like that. Fireworks traditions. Whatever. ]
You're certainly full of surprises today.
[ ??? That isn't what you're supposed to say. ]
shoves a dildo in your mouth
You're supposed to kiss when there are fireworks, that's all.
chokes?!?!?1 anyone who sees this won't realise the context... bocadildo nikki... pls
There's a rule for that? [ Way to make it sound less romantic, Athena... ]
:)
[ why would this guy think there's a rule. ]
I just made it up.
yells!!!!!
You... made it up? [ He says it dryly, watching her rather than the fireworks now. What a distracting person. ]
no subject
[ her voice goes low as she begins to swoon. ] Kissing under the fireworks, just those lights up in the sky... then you tell the other person you love the—
[ ... ah. hold on. ]
In most cases.
no subject
Just as she's saying In most cases, she'll find her face full of the dragon plush. Luckily he isn't attempting to smother her with it like she did before, but he is having a mini ... panic attack? Is it one? He just knows that there were words there neither of them really need to talk about any time soon.
Help. ]
Maybe we should head back down. [ ABORT ABORT ABORT-- ]
no subject
athena yells, covering her ears as she hears the pop especially when the fireworks just shoot up and burst in front of them. ]
no subject
It's only when there's a quick break that he reaches down for the dragon plush that fell on the floor, tucks it under his elbow, then tugs her back towards the door.
Best to get back inside so she can recover, because even his hearing is suffering from this. ]
no subject
she likes him.
she likes him.
love... love is something else. she barely knows the guy, how can she fall in love with him? he does make her happy and she thinks about him every night before bed, but that's not love. she's just so attracted to him.
when they get back inside the school building, athena pulls him to sit down by one of the windows with a sigh. ]
So much for a lovely display, [ she says, obviously disappointed. ] Are you okay?
no subject
They had to run pretty quickly before he had to block the fireworks again, so he's breathing a bit off (and maybe it isn't just that, but he can say it is) when they finally sit down. He peeks out of the window to check there haven't been injuries, but... ] Lili is going to be furious. [ She was already mad about balloons earlier, okay. He glances back at Athena then, lets the dragon plush rest on his lap to reach out to gentle slide his fingertips over her ear. ]
Nevermind me, are you alright?
no subject
[ she does seem kind of bummed, though. yet another school festival ruined, but at least it wasn't because of murder this time around. ]
I can't not mind how you are, though. . . Your ears?
