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.

"No, not at all," Yu replied. "It's the best thing to have in the fall."

She looked down at the potato thoughtfully. "It is certainly very nice..." Then, a question occurred to her. "What other traditions do you have in fall?"
linefacingforever: (Considering all the things.)

Yu paused at that. Well... there really wasn't much that he participated in, now that he thought about it.

"It depends on the area you live," he answered after a moment. "Some places hold a festival like this, but that depends on the local shrine."

"Shrine?" Kanaya looked sharply up at him. "They are 'local' where you come from?" She's only seen one in her life, but considering it was more like a desert ruin by the point she found it, she wasn't even sure there were any on modern Alternia at all.

Yu nodded. "They're fairly commonplace in Japan. The town I was living in before coming here had one right in the middle of the shopping district."
