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!

I know what you mean. Woke up with a dog lapping at my hand.

[DD was a friendly enough Poochyena when Snake first met him and even know as a Mightyena he was just as loyal. A bit like his dog at home, hence the name. Yet, he did miss the battlefield. The adrenaline coursing through his veins. Dodging bullets and completing missions. It was what he was bred for.]

He's pretty cute. Your...Hap- Happiny. [Give him a moment with the name.]

I miss the battlefield though. Dodging bullets and missiles had it's charm.

That so? ...I have an acquaintance who's like that. When we're not in the thick of it, she can't wait to jump back in the fight. The only person I know who really enjoys doing what we do. She's got a bloodlust, to put it simply.

Honestly, she and I don't...mesh very well.

I was born to fight. A tool of war.

[Born or created? He wasn't about to go into the fact that he was changed into another man to become that tool of war. He'd only discuss that with people he knew really well, or just didn't like talking about his past to anyone.]

Why don't you two get on?

Because the way she treats what we do...it's like it's a game to her. And that just...it doesn't really click with the way I do things, not in the slightest.

[ For Asuka, doing what she does is a matter of pride, her reason to live. But Mari Makinami Illustrious is very different. She sings during her support fire. Gets a high off of the smell of gunpowder and LCL. Makes a show out of everything.

Asuka can't deny that Mari's good at what she does. That doesn't mean she has to be happy about it. ]


...It doesn't help that she's tough to rein in, even for the Major.

[He could see how the other girl would grate against her ideas. Who would enjoy being with someone who treated war and violence like a game? It was far from a game where people's lives were involved.]

She sounds a handful. If she's the Major, what rank are you?

[Because Snake is starting to like you already. You seem a good person.]
crimsonchin: finally hit just right (Feel it deepening the rift)

For all intents and purposes, Captain. ...I used to be Captain of the European Air Force. But now I don't really have a formal rank. The situation is complicated, but...

I was part of a government agency called NERV, but, they had a bit of a...schism, so to speak. Most of NERV disbanded and went rogue to form a new organization called Wille, which is what I'm a part of now. We don't have much funding, because we had to get by with what we could out of pocket. NERV had the UN to help with their finances, but we, of course, weren't so lucky. We're short on staff, too; it was hard to find good men, considering our circumstances, so the staff on base is mostly made up of rookies and volunteers. But it's better than nothing.

Right now, it's basically war out there. NERV vs Wille.
