Visitor Festival Log (OPEN TO ALL)

[stringmods]

Who: EVERYONE
Where: Virgo Ward
Summary: Visitor Festival Log! You're all invited!
Warnings: Celebrations

A year might seem so little at first, but for a city like Hinoto-Ri, progress had been steady. And how would it have been without you? Hard to say. Regardless, there were some appreciative people of your hard work, and thus you were warned ahead of time of a little celebration that would be held in your honor, this Friday (FRIDAY! FRIDAY!)

Nothing too outrageous, you had been promised. After all, budgets had to be made and citizens had to be saved. Something more akin to a fun party with friends and the city. An open note sent out to all citizens if they so wanted to join in.

There was quite a turnout! The lure of fun and food drew people from all the wards and words of encouragement and thanks were given to you freely. Maybe because some of them had drank too much sake.

The booths are bustling with activity. There's food for everyone as merchants try to outdo each other with both traditional food and more exotic ones; Corn on the cob, Pumpkins, Yaki Imo (Oven-Roasted Sweet Potatoes), Ramen stands, Falafel, caramelized apples, octopus sausages on sticks...

There are also signup sheets for competitions tonight. While townspeople can join, the big draw is to see the Visitors attempt the typical school festivals, such as the swimsuit competition and the dress competition (for both male and women!).

...yeah maybe they just have a good sense of humor. Which is good! A happy city means, at least, for a little while, people can forget what's happening and maybe the place is going to flourish more with hope.

So hopefully you can show them that by enjoying yourselves!

[Good, a topic change.]

Yes, I've looked through it a little. The level of detail in the entries is quite impressive.

"Any of 'em catch your eye?"

As Kotoha makes small talk, she's also casting one eye over the offered, non-Fumi themed merchandise. Multi-tasking!

There is also a small part of her that hopes any of her merchandise is less embarrassing than Fumi's.

The Porygon evolutionary line is fascinating.

[unbroken_chain]

Kotoha looks pleased with herself at that.

Called it.

"I'll try and get you one if I can, then."

[terminally_clever]

[Fumi raises an eyebrow - equal parts skepticism and genuine interest.]

How exactly would you accomplish that here?

[unbroken_chain]

"Well, I'm gonna need to go home and finish up a few things sooner or later, so I figure when that happens I'll just convert a Porygon to information form and store it on my Pokedex for when I get back."

[terminally_clever]

Hm. Clever. Assuming you retain any memory of this place when you return, of course.

[unbroken_chain]

Kotoha looks startled.

"That's a possibility?"

[terminally_clever]

I've heard various things, all of them completely unsubstantiated by evidence. I wouldn't worry about it.

[unbroken_chain]

"Best to prepare for it anyway...hm."

Kotoha reaches into her bag, flips open her Pokedex, and starts fiddling with the keyboard.

"Okay, that should do it!"

[terminally_clever]

Leaving yourself a reminder?

[unbroken_chain]

Nod nod.

"Not just me, though - there's also a note on there for Porygon, so as long as I take one out of storage it should notice and automatically download itself into the 'Dex."

[terminally_clever]

Well, I appreciate it.
