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, er, former." He coughs. "I suppose people will find out sooner or later since that's usually how I make my living, but yeah." This never stops being awkward, somehow.

Shura has read a thing or two about the occult when she was human, it helps. But Japanese occult magazines don't talk about Persona, sadly.

"At least you make a living, right?" She looked around, her expression somber. "You'll probably get work here soon enough, too."

"Speaking of which, you haven't tried any of the food stalls around here, have you? I have a really pushy one who's been wanting to try one of every damn thing at the festival, and she's really giving me the runaround," he says, looking mildly annoyed.

[demifemme]

Shura shook her head. "I haven't eaten or drank since I got here. You... already met a dead one to talk to?"

[ghost_shield]

He nods. "You never know when you'll run into one. Nobody else seems to notice her at all, though, so I guess she's more of a lingering regret." He burps. "Although apparently she's lingering on dinner or something."

[demifemme]

Shura chuckles. "What a strange thing to stay in the living world for!"

[ghost_shield]

He rubs the back of his neck sheepishly. "Yeah, some people just get hung up on the weirdest things. Remind me to tell you about the guy who wouldn't budge an inch until he could get a special edition pair ot shoes he couldn't even take with him." He chuckles.

[demifemme]

"If I stay stuck here, I'll ask for sure." She had a feeling she was gonna get to know that story sooner than later...

[ghost_shield]

Sounds like she's pretty antsy to leave again, he mulls to himself. He sticks a hand out. "Well, if you feel the need to ask... name's Nick Reeve. Who knows, we might see each other around."

[demifemme]

Shura takes the offered hand, nodding. "Name's Shura. I don't intend to stay, but first I gotta find a way to leave, so there's a good chance we'll see each other again."
