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!

Ah, that's good to hear. Actually, if you do want to learn more about this place, the library should help...though for some reason I haven't been able to find many books about history for the regions.

[Not that he's all that surprised.]

Really? There's so few? That's...incredibly odd.

[Suspicious.........]

Ah, but, I'd love to come and visit! I think my friends and I will be in town for a few days after everything settles down, so I'll see if I can swing by.
samsa: (Pleasant □ nice chatting with you)

Sounds good. I'm pretty sure anyone with a trainer ID can rent a book, so you don't have to worry about making a library card or anything. Just be prepared for a lot of books about Pokemon.
cyan_maid: (Always happy chatting with you)

oh shoot you weren't kidding that is a hell of a html fail...............

You know, considering how little I know of them outside of the game I played and what I've learned here, I wouldn't mind shelves chock full of Pokemon books!
samsa: (Nervous □ /hollow laughter)

shh shh its fine

[personal profile] samsa 2016-08-24 06:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, it's weird...I never actually played the games back home, so I had a lot of learning to do when I got here. But I think you do get used to it after a while.
cyan_maid: (Goodness gracious me!)

I only played part of one before, erm...I got very confused and frustrated, and couldn't move forward anymore.
samsa: (Glance □ why always me)

[personal profile] samsa 2016-08-26 04:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh? What happened?
cyan_maid: (Goodness gracious me!)

[personal profile] cyan_maid 2016-08-26 10:54 pm (UTC)(link)
I got very, very lost in a cave with no light.
