Autumn Festival (OPEN)

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.

Other times, other "worlds" -- Barnaby still wasn't sure he bought any of it, but that seemed to be the explanation most people were falling back on. It would have been easy to wave everyone off as delusional, except Barnaby had already seen a lot of improbable things since his arrival, and they were obviously all "drafted" for a specific purpose. Did they share some kind of common link?

"Stern Bild," he replied. Normally, that would have been enough of an answer, but with the way some of the people here acted, Barnaby wasn't so sure. "It's a large city-state in North America."

"Oh really? Cool!" Kohta replied with a smile.

"I went to a military base in the US to train for a while. I really liked North America and hope I could visit all of it someday after school...Well, if we get back that is." he added with an awkward laugh.

"Would be pretty cool, I heard the more northern areas of the continent like Canada and above are really a sight to see."

That seemed to pull the boy out of his shell a little. Barnaby made a mental note that he seemed at least a little enthusiastic about western culture in case it became relevant later.

"Yes, I've heard there's a lot of unspoiled nature further north," he remarked. Still, something about what he said caught him off guard. "You seem a little young to receive training in a military base, though."

It wasn't an accusation that his story was a lie, but rather an observation of how unusual it was. After all, if this city had decided to bring him here, then it wouldn't shock Barnaby if he had some practical combat experience. Even so, a Japanese high school student receiving military training overseas wasn't something he heard about everyday.

"Oh yeah, it well... It's more about what I really like." he admitted looking a bit awkwardly.

"I'm really into guns and have been collecting them since I was young... That factored into my trip to the states as well as my father thinking it would toughen me up since I was always bullied."

He looked down for a bit before looking up and laughing forcefully, "Jokes on him, I continued being bullied! Ha.... A-anyways, I did get a lot out of it though I guess. More knowledge about weaponry, nice training with them and some discipline I guess."
