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.

She's not the only one getting odd looks for her retro attire. Someone else seems to be making a bit of a ruckus over SOMETHING. Sounds like he must've fumbled one of those sweet potato things and is currently, well, handling it like a hot potato.

Let's see, clumsy, pirate, looks like a flooring inspector...

Now what are the odds of THAT?

Of course it was next to impossible to lose Guybrush in a crowd, because... that.

"Are you having some trouble, dear?"

[a_pirate_meant_to_be]

"Who me? Why would I ha ha ha HAOW have any problems? Whew!" A few extra juggles, and it seems like he finally righted it, or something. "At least they have SOME foods around here that aren't weird," he says.

[plunderbunny]

She put her hands behind her back and watched patiently as he played hot potato with himself.

"Think of it as an excuse to try something new!" She offered helpfully, and pointed to a platter of falafel. "Like... those... things... whatever they are."

"I dunno, Elaine. You ever seen one of those Taco Yuckies? I'm pretty sure octopus was never meant to be in a spherical form," he says, eyebrow raised. He's STILL not sure what to make of that stuff.

[plunderbunny]

"It looks different, but that doesn't mean it tastes different." Her tone was not unlike a mother trying to get a fussy child to eat their vegetables. "Besides, it's all free, so you have nothing to lose!"

[a_pirate_meant_to_be]

"You mean besides my appetite." At least sweet potatoes are a tried and true thing. A true food of the Caribbean! ...that was imported from Africa. Anyway. "Oh well. Everything tastes good with you around, plunderbunny," he declares, putting his other arm around her.

[plunderbunny]

"That's my honey pumpkin!" She was more than happy to rest her head against his chest. You could eat every caramel apple at the festival and you wouldn't get as many cavities as you would watching these two. So this wasn't quite the party Elaine had in mind, but it was shaping up to be a worthy substitute.
