GHOST TRICK PART ONE: Festival Log!

Who: Everyone!
Where: Either Ecruteak City or Lavender Town; please mark your toplevel comments accordingly!
When: August 13th-15th
Summary: Celebrate O-bon at a festival near you! For details, see the infopost.
Rating: Will vary from thread to thread. Warn for common triggers if something comes up.
Log:

The streets are lined with NPC-run stalls for food, games, and the assorted tchotchkes of every summer festival you’ve ever seen in your animes! There’s Goldeen Scoop, heaping cones of Swirlix Candy, Test Your STRENGTH (there are two different machines for people and Pokémon; HM04 not required); basically, if you can think of it, it’s there. There will also be a yukata rental stall if you want to go full hog on the cultural side of things. Ecruteak boasts a small stage where the Kimono Girls give a short performance once every two hours; the festivities in Lavender Town are a little quieter, but they also have Haunter-shaped ice cream treats. When you lick them, they Lick you!

On the last evening (August 15th) of the festival in either location, there will be a large bonfire and traditional bon-odori dance in which everyone is welcome to participate. In Lavender Town only, they also set paper lamps afloat in the water past the cliffs.

The closer you get to midnight on the last night of the festival, the more ghosts pop up.

Again, please say which city your character's in and note what dates/times they're there in the header of or within your top--level comment to avoid confusion. Play nice and have fun!

It did seem super boring at first, but it's not like something you do for fun. You just do it when there's, like, sooo much stress. It came really handy whenever I stressed over tests! Then it was like, what stress?

Oh, I've got plenty of ways to relieve stress. That don't involve sitting around.

[Not that many of those are available here. He can't kill people like he usually does. He doesn't have his girlfriend. He can't even shoot skags for fun. Or do any of the drugs he likes. He's pretty much stuck with booze and mocking people.]

Christ, Spookybutt, you're gonna take a header if you're not careful. Aren't you people supposed to be all graceful and elegant?

Who, me? Well, I guess if I treated like this like my Fearleading practice...

[She pauses, and just like that, suddenly she's much more in tune, in rhythm, step by step.]

Okay, look, I gotta ask. The whole shtick. The...the puns and plays on words and the spooky shit and all that...is it cultural, or just you? Like, does everybody where you come from do that and it's just part of your society, or are you seriously that devoted to your public persona?

[He's really just curious. If it's the former, that's...weird. She comes from a weird place and her people are weird. If it's the latter, that's just impressive. Because he's never seen it slip.]

[She glances back at him, all smiles.]

Everybody talks like this back home! But I guess it's different with humans.

Pretty sure your planet would drive me literally insane. Because yeah, us humans talk normally. Don't get me wrong, it's cute, on you. But that's cause it's like your thing.

[A whole freaking planet of Draculauras? Holy hell, that's the stuff of those nightmares you get when you eat cheese too close to bed. Weird and unsettling.]

Well yeah! If we were all the same, it would be really boring! That's why I like this place, 'cause everything is different!
