[indigo_league]

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!

[ Happiny, by contrast, seems cheerful enough and more than happy to let Ashley take the reins. She'll even offer to help Ashley with the motions while Ashley takes care of the more dexterous parts! Teamwork!! ]

Well, it's not as though we aren't all foreigners here. But I know what you're talking about. It's not as big of a deal as you think it is, though.

[ Of course, it's been a long time since she's been to one of these things. Nevertheless... ]

Tourists are usually kind of encouraged to wear them. It's like a..."sharing the culture" sort of deal. ...But if you're not going to wear one, I'll have to find some other way to pay you back. Maybe I'll help you win a stuffed animal or some shit like that. If I remember right, the prizes are usually pretty good.

[Oh, well, thank you little Happiny. It's been months since she's see one, hers is up to Blissey, so. There's some nostalgia in working with the little critter, even if it's only months-old nostalgia.]

You...really don't have to, I'm just helping out, but...if you want to, a prize wouldn't be so bad. I'm always, uh, hit-or-miss at these things, they can be so darn hard.

[crimsonchin]

Easy. I'll get you whatever you want from the one with the rifle. I'm a pretty damn good shot, not to brag.

[ She's totally bragging, though. ]

Haaa, good with guns? [It's a rather good thing Asuka can't see her face; Ashley hides the twang of nerves in her voice, thankfully.] Of course you would be, you're in the military.

Ummm, okay, I think...that should do it?
