destinystrings | 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.

"Pumpkins!"

That is literally the only thing he has been eating this entire festival like he has never had fucking pumpkins before

... Don't mind him, he'll just blink a little in confusion. He knows what they are, but...

"I don't think I've had one before."

"What?"

wat

"You've never had pumpkins before? They're delicious!"

He shakes his head.

okay li'l bro no

this is wrong and it should feel wrong

now if you'll excuse him, big bro is going to grab you by the arm and drag you to the nearest stand selling pumpkin goods

Wah!

He'll just... silently follow along then, eyes wide.

It doesn't take him long to find a stand selling pumpkin muffins. He orders two, and shoves one in Link's hands.

"Go on, eat it!"

wat.

He stares at it for a moment, before taking a bite.

"... Sgooth."

Link don't talk with your mouth full.

"Isn't it?" Yeah, talking with his mouth full is a little...rude, but Link's not Mr. Manners. "We love pumpkins up in Skyloft!"

He swallows before talking again. "We had a lot of berries and nuts and stuff in the forest. I always had to eat more than the others. Some of them teased me because of it."

Immortal forest children don't need to eat as much as actual growing children, after all.

He shakes his head. "Kids can be really mean sometimes..."

"Y... yeah." He looks down a little.

"Hey, don't let it get you down. Kids like that don't know the real you."

"... Saria used to say that too." He smiles a tiny bit at that.

"Zelda would say that to me, too."

... Wait.

"You know the Princess?"

"...princess?"

"... Princess Zelda?"

Duh.

"Um. She's just Zelda..."

"... Not the one I know."

"...you know someone named Zelda?"

Er.

Er...

Errrr...

"...what does she look like?"

"Um. She's got long blonde hair, and pointy ears like me! She wears a really long dress, too... and she's got blue eyes."

He pauses for a moment. "She's really pretty."

...

"..."

...

"...is her dress...pink, kind of?"
