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!

Gotta GO FOR GOLD...EEN

Come on, it can't be that hard or no one would play, am I right?

[Dave stops at her shoulder when she does, hands tucked into opposite sleeves of his yukata in lieu of pockets. What kind of outfit doesn't have proper pockets, this is bullshit.]

It's got to have something to do with timing. Or technique. Haste makes waste and all that.
cyan_maid: (Give me all of the bacon and eggs you ha)

DO IT DAVE WE BELIEVE IN YOU

[Jane frowns, tilting her head. He could very well be right...but even so, she'll believe it when she sees it.]

Oh? And do you think you could display the proper technique? I don't know if I have the patience myself, but...

[Is. Is that a challenge.]

[He just walked himself right into this trap. Just saw it right there and jumped in. He is the champion, it's him.]

Oh, yeah, obviously. Would my bro put me through seventeen years of bitter ninja training for anything less than the pure distilled essence of being awesome at Fish Scoop, what kind of priorities do you think he had.

[Dave crouches by the pool, as if a closer look will in any way help him figure out how such a weak scoop can handle such a big fish. With horns on.]

Only the best ones, girl. The primest priorities.
cyan_maid: (Shush!)

[personal profile] cyan_maid 2016-08-14 05:25 pm (UTC)(link)
[Men braver than he have turned tail and fled at the Crocker Challenge, he should feel proud.]

I had always assumed those priorities revolved around the art of ironic gestures and loquacious tomfoolery, but I'll take your word for it.

[Just going to kneel down next to Dave awkwardly because THESE ARE FUCKING ROBES and it's weird. One of the Goldeen in the pool drifts over, letting her horn and eyes emerge from the water to look at them contemplatively.]

Eh, he could be a dude of few words when he wanted to be, but I must admit, the dude was a professional-grade tomfooler.

[And actually, why is he talking about Bro, at all, in front of this girl who never even knew him except as the younger, nicer, a hundred percent better version who grew up all alone in a post-apocalyptic ocean.

Dave stares at the Goldeen, then shifts forward slightly and lowers his voice to a conspiratorial whisper.]


Hey. So do they offer you a cut of the profits or what, finface. How rigged do you even have to be.
cyan_maid: (Shush!)

[personal profile] cyan_maid 2016-08-15 01:31 pm (UTC)(link)
I see, I see.

[And that's where she leaves it, because hey, Dirk is also a professional-grade tomfooler. Don't need to know much beyond that, right?

The Goldeen in question tilts itself, looking for all the world as confused as a newborn babe. What is rigged? What are profits? This is a paddle ride, isn't it? And if you stay on the paddle, you get to stay with a trainer! She wiggles a bit, looking at him expectantly.

It might be worth it to note that this Goldeen has been hanging around the back of the pond since the festival started, not daring to come close enough to be scooped. You've been chosen, Dave.]
