Autumn Festival (OPEN)

[stringmods]

Who: EVERYONE
Where: Virgo Ward
Summary: Autumn Festival Log! You're all invited!
Warnings: MELONS
Ahh Autumn. The time for harvest, and the normal national holiday that falls on the 24th and 25th. Demons? Angels? Magic? Well nothing's been put on pause, but even the Anoli need to relax once in a while...

With that free time, what's a newcomer like you to do?

Well Hinoto-Ri has much to offer! As they seem to be the only standing city in...well, anywhere, they've tried to merge and adapt as many festivals around the world as they can.

Ergo this Fall festival is a mixture of everything the world could offer. Corn on the cob, Pumpkins, Yaki Imo (Oven-Roasted Sweet Potatoes), Ramen stands, Falafel, caramelized apples...

A giant dragon is tied down in the middle of the waters. At night, you can see a few pixies hover close to it, keeping other monsters at bay. The streets have been decorated as well.

But most importantly, the upper Virgo Ward has been turned in a giant festival area...even more so than usual! Now the millions of stalls don't just try to sell things to you, they sell things to you thematically with this fall! Giant pumpkins and fresh produce made in Libra and Capricorn..did you know that Capicorn has an amazing giant apple orchid, protected by the office of Wands and Swords? Try out some free samples! One taste is enough to convince you that having Persona to irrigate the fields ass a crispness to the fruit..right? Winter outfits...hats are in this year! Listen to some of the new music groups, and get pumped for the upcoming movies!

There is giant mooncake in the middle of all the tents and stalls. Don't worry about the money! Everything's free today! It is a time for sharing and family and...

...being thankful for what you have. No matter how small it might be.

For a city of survivors, Hinoto-Ri is certainly trying to have a good time.

You should join them.

Nodding, Ludwig took the sweet potato. "Thanks. And I'll keep that in mind. Does one normally eat this with a fork...?" His knowledge of the local cuisine was failing him. But they had to be good, if this guy could eat three of them...

"Sometimes, if you use western utensils," Yu replied. He... honestly could not remember the last time he used a fork... no, wait, it was the last time his parents had a work dinner party at home. "Like this, you just eat it off the stick."

[blitzkriegzwei]

"Ah, right." Of course the obvious solution would pass Ludwig over at a time like this. "I guess it's taking me a little while to use my festival brain. If I were at home, it wouldn't be long before I'd have to get into festival gear, anyway."

[linefacingforever]

Festival brain? Yu wasn't going to ask, though something like a smile crept up onto his face.

"Where's home?"

[blitzkriegzwei]

"In a country called Germany, if that means anything to you. Do you have a Germany in your world?" The problem with being with people from other worlds was that there was always a chance that your geography meant absolutely nothing. "Back home, we have a festival called Oktoberfest... it's a huge festival, filled with drinking and eating and partying." A small smile spread across his face.

"I've never been there, but I know it exists," Yu replied. He couldn't say he was entirely familiar with Oktoberfest, but it was probably mentioned at some point somewhere.

"Do you miss it?"

[blitzkriegzwei]

"So you come from a world similar to mine, then. It's nice to hear that we're not all from completely different places." It really was something of a comfort to hear that not everyone was from zany worlds Ludwig had never even dreamed of. A few Earthlings here and there gave a pleasant aura of familiarity to the place. He paused and pursed his lips before replying. "I'm sure I will miss it when October comes around. I'm always there when they tap the first keg..."
