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.

Yeah, he was perfectly fine with changing the subject, he doesn't even know how they got there in the first place haha...ha...ha.....

"Heh, so I guess it's out of the question for me to ask you about politics or the weather, huh?"

[drakenguard]

"Politics has no bearing on our current situation, and I'm unfamiliar with the politics in this city," Yamato replied. "The weather is menial talk for those without brain cells. So yes, it is out of the question."

Yamato looked about them, frowning faintly.

"...truthfully, I may leave. I am uncomfortable in such a setting."

[hetried]

Oh. Well. Now he felt kind of bad.

"Uh, right... I mean, go for it if you want, but you're probably gonna miss out on the rest of the fun...! Heh. I wonder if they'll have a parade or something later..."

Yeah, he was just going to droop a bit and rub the back of his neck. Seriously, Yamato needed to learn some kind of fun some day...! "Er, that's not really your style much though is it. Right..."

[drakenguard]

"No, it isn't 'my style'. I dislike crowded areas."

Especially in a crowd where he didn't know a single one of them. Yamato knew that sometimes he edged on the verge of paranoia, but his suspicious nature had saved his life more than once, and here, where he didn't have subordinates or the other advantages of JP's as back up...well it left him more than a little uneasy.

[hetried]

Yamato's suspicious nature was still pretty weird for Daichi's trusting nature, so it's a bit hard for him to grasp it.

"You can go home if you want-- want I should bring you some food back later?"

[drakenguard]

"Food?" Yamato looked briefly puzzled. "Like takoyaki?"

[hetried]

"Sure, why not?" Cue smile and a half-hearted shrug to accompany the 'why not' sentiment. "I'm sure it's around here somewhere. Takoyaki was pretty easy to find back in normal Japan, so I'm sure this place has to have something."

[drakenguard]

"..."

Yamato crossed his arms and thought for a moment.

"Very well. Once you have finished your business here, bring me some takoyaki, Shijima."

And that is an order B|

[hetried]

"Geez, no need to be so serious about it...!"

He knew that was basically Yamato's default but dang, he was offered! He tried to shrug it off though with a bit of a sheepish chuckle.

"I'll bring it buy your apartment later, OK?"

[drakenguard]

Yamato nodded curtly in response and then-

Turned on his heel and walked off. Yamato still had not learned how to say goodbye, or politely leave a conversation.
