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.

Just a split second to make the decision and -- he heads after them. He's not quite sure yet if he just intends to see which way this person goes or if he actually wants to talk to them. It will, of course, depend on whether they totally disappear into the crowd or not--!

The figure stopped at another stand, still within earshot of the karaoke machine. Really, she did not mind it; she may even enjoy it. However, what is singing. What is being in a spotlight when one is content with watching. It was what she'd always done over the last few centuries, after all.

Though, it seemed as though she hadn't noticed him yet. ...Approach?

It takes him a moment to spy her again, but when he does, of course he heads on over. He talks to all the NPCs! Sometimes multiple times, just to see if their dialogue has changed yet... He steps beside her at the booth and looks sidelong.

"Not interested in karaoke?"

[handshakegreeting]

You protags and your desire to talk to everyone even though you barely say a word. Gosh. They pause for a moment, apparently not having expected to be followed, before slipping into a too-practiced smile.

"I prefer listening over participating," she answered politely. "You did rather well, by the way."

kyaa izanami-senpai noticed me~

"A-ah. thank you. It's ah... just a hobby..."

That smile... isn't really worth commenting on, but Minato smiles back a little.

"Are you sure you wouldn't want to try even once?"

"It's a good hobby to pick up!" All that there Courage stat increase just ripe for the taking! ...Aw, is he a bit flustered, or just a little unsure? Either way, she chuckles.

"Perhaps another time. I'm not one to go up on stage..."

Often. It's harder to listen when on center stage, sometimes.
