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.

The space marine stands by Giant dragon, watching it with interest. Even with his helm on, his stance suggests a certain amusement, rather than watchfulness, for once.

Even with all the amazing and beautiful food stalls, the majestic, glowing dragon was what caught Oboro's eyes. Leaving the crowd behind, she walked quietly down the path leading to the edge of the water where the brightly-lit beast stood. When she was near enough, she could see the shadowed back of a large person, but with a closer view, Oboro could see that part of the bulkiness came from his armor.

"Oh, someone is here..." she hesitated for a moment, hoping she would not be bothering him. At the same time, Oboro realized it would be rude to say nothing, so she approached him from his side quietly. "Aa... good evening, Lord Samurai, please forgive me if I am disturbing you. I only want to see the dragon as well. Please do not mind my presence."

"What is a samurai?" Rumbles the 8 foot tall warrior, more Roman in his armor style than reflective of the ancient feudal swordsmen of Japan.

"And no, you are not disturbing me, I am simply contemplating the dragon, which was part of the iconography of a Legion, brothers to my own."

[tofuhime]

Oboro blinked at his question. Of course! There were so many people here from different places that perhaps they do not have any where this warrior had been.

"O-oh... samurai are very strong swordsmen in the land I come from. They often wear armor into battle so I had thought you were one of them. Please excuse me, I was hasty to assume." She gave him a quick bow in apology. "I do not fully understand what a 'Legion' may be, but if it is much like a clan, then you have chosen a wonderful symbol. Dragons are gods who protect and watch over us. I pray that they may lend you strength..." An unfortunate thought crossed her mind. "Ah, my lord, are you at war?"

[greyerrant]

"It is a common misunderstanding. Our armor is purposefully design to reflect archaic symbols and makes, so that people would recognize and respect it for what it was. The sign of warriors who cannot be beaten, and who will never yield."

He shakes his head, "The symbol of my Legion was not dragons, but wolves. And we bow to no faen, no spirit. Humanity is our purview, and we are secular beings. We have faith in science."
