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.

"Miki Sanada. Nice to meet you as well." She has been raised to be polite, after all. It isn't too hard to figure out from looking at him that he is out of place here as she is. After all, no one would say they'd need revenue and be living here before.

"You're new aren't you?"

[ghost_shield]

He stashes the apple away for now. "Yeah. It's a bit crazy, I have to admit... but I guess crazier things have happened." He shrugs. "It's all a bit mysterious, though, I have to admit. I can't even figure out the precise reasoning behind their choices of who arrives."

[helenchanted]

She stares at him for that comment.

"Crazier things have happened?"

This from someone who helped stopping the Fall.

"Where I come from? Yeah, pretty much." Getting drawn into a place you can technically leave at any time generally beats out getting forced into a place because your home world went "plooey," anyway. So he gathered from most of the refugees, anyway; it's not like he really remembered enough about his original world himself. "Then again, I'm not exactly a normal type myself."

Speaking of, where was that ghost again? Damnit, would it kill her to stay in one place?

"I had a feeling that they didn't just pick us before we had persona before..." Miki scratched the back of her head. "I guess that doesn't make us normal..."

[ghost_shield]

He shrugs. "It's hard to say. I know I didn't have a Persona before. I don't even know what mine's supposed to look like yet." He looks around. "Maybe there is no criteria. Who knows?"

He spots something out of the corner of his eye. Something transparent, moving through the crowd like it's not even there. "Oh, uh, can you hold on for a moment? I gotta do something," he asks sheepishly.
