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.

Like a truly decisive person, he shrugs.

"They're cute. ... it might be nice to have a pet."

[greatseal]

"I could see you as a hamster person..." She's not going to explain what that means, though.

[fools_journey]

Too bad. He's going to ask.

"What does that mean?"

[greatseal]

She ignores him.

"Look, they have kittens too!" And pulling him a few steps sideways to look at the new fuzzy animals.

[fools_journey]

He takes offense at being ignored! But he makes no objection to kitties.

"I'm not sure the apartment's big enough for a cat..."

Not much for them to climb. But they are cute. And he brings a finger up to one of the cages, pointing it like a cat nose for the kitten to come sniff.

[greatseal]

"Maybe not. He might get bored..." But they are very cute Minato. It's tempting.

[fools_journey]

"... I wouldn't want him chewing on things he shouldn't out of boredom."

But he sighs, looking at the cats. The kitten who came up to poke its nose against his finger is especially cute, and he pets it through the cage.

"Maybe when I can afford someplace bigger."

[greatseal]

"...You're thinking of moving out?"

It's not something she'd thought of herself yet, so it surprises her to hear.

[fools_journey]

"Yeah. Maybe. Not any time soon... but eventually.."

He falls quiet for a moment or two, hesitating before looking sidelong at her.

"Would you want to move out? Find someplace we could live?" Emphasis on the we even if he doesn't emphasize it in his tone.

[greatseal]

She blinks at him for a moment.... And then smiles, taking his hand. "It sounds nice. As long as it's not too far from everyone else."

[fools_journey]

He smiles just a bit at that. "No. It'd be nice to be close to everyone."

Maybe they could even get a house together or something.

[greatseal]

"It would be nice if we could have the dorm again... Although just being with you would be fine too."

It's been a long time since she shared a home with family.

[fools_journey]

"It would... but taking things in steps is nice, too. It's been a long time since we shared a home."

Apparently his thoughts run along the same track.
