[ 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!

Hi...Hikari-chan? Please do not worry for me! I... I am well!!
no subject
You don't look so well.
You look tired.
no subject
Perhaps, I am tired for a moment. But, I am sure that soon the time will come for my second wind! It- it is alright, Hikari-chan! [Despite all the random props that are accidentally glitter-glued to his person.]
no subject
What were you trying to do, anyway?
no subject
I was... hm... that is a good question. [He blinks uncertainly.]
I believe that I was... trying to overcome the me of yesterday!!
no subject
The you of...yesterday?
I don't think I understand.
no subject
When you become stronger, than you are stronger than you used to be! Is that correct?
no subject
[Once her mind stopped reeling from the metal image of having to fight a past version of herself]
Did the you from yesterday time-travel then? If you had to overcome him because you're stronger now.
no subject
The me of yesterday is just a metaphor! [Technically he did once fight a duplicate of himself, but that's a whole nother can of worms.] It simply means to be stronger than you were before. When you become stronger, you can do more and protect more people! Do you understand now?
no subject
although she still wouldn't have been all that surprised if it had been time travel, given that weirder things were happening all around them.]I see.
So...you were running so that you can keep getting stronger. Only you tired yourself out too much from over-exercising and weren't looking where you were going.
[See? Perfect sense.]
I'm just glad you're okay.
no subject
Somehow Naruto avoided that can of worms...]Ah... [He nods in sheepish confession.] Yes, I suppose that is something like what happened...
[Then Lee smiles at her.]
Thank you for your concern, Hikari-chan! I am certainly alright. But what about you - have you been well?
no subject
Lucky him?]Un! [She gave a sharp, strong nod as her face broke out into a wide smile.] Better than well. The most amazing thing happened: both my and Takeru-kun's big brothers showed up in one of the last ViViD games!
no subject
They did? I am so happy for you and Takeru-kun, Hikari-san! I am so glad that your dear siblings have returned! It- it must have been because you believed in it so much!!
no subject
I always believe in Oniichan. And I knew he would keep his promise.
no subject
Hikari-chan, it sounds like your faith is very steadfast and pure! This is so very touching to hear! It must be very good to have family to look out for you in a place like this!
no subject
What about you, Lee-san? Have you found any more of your friends yet?
[She...remembered about Naruto having disappeared, and hoped that maybe the blonde-haired boy had returned and she'd simply not noticed yet.
Hey it was possible!]no subject
A dear comrade has come to this world recently. I suppose that he is like a 'brother' of sorts to me. So... I am very pleased as well, Hikari-chan!
no subject
[Everybody seemed to have gotten something from this latest round of arrivals. Her, Takeru, and now Lee.]
I'm happy for you. That you get to see him again, too.
no subject
Thank you, Hikari-chan. He is a very serious person, but his heart is kind. I hope that you become friends sometime!
I am very happy for you too, Hikari-chan! You see? Things are not so bad!
no subject
[There might have been a few moments here and there that came close to qualifying as 'bad'. She wouldn't deny that much. But the moments in between those moments?]
I think...some of the people I talked to made this place sound a lot scarier than it really is.
[Or else she was far more used to the unexpected and strange than they gave her credit for.]
