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!

[She giggles, turning towards him.]

But Joooker~! They're so amazing! I wish they could never stop dancing!

[pipers_son]

Well, unfortunately, everyone needs their rest. C’mon, now, there’s a whole festival ta take a gander at! Whittle away the time until they’re ready ta come out again.

[veggie_vamp]

Fiiine... But I know nothing I find is going to be more fun than watching them.

[pipers_son]

Now, Miss… Is that a challenge?

[veggie_vamp]

[giggle giggle]

Maaaybe~?

[pipers_son]

Well then, my fair lady-!

[With all of his usual theatrics, he ducks down into a long sweeping bow. It’s a little different when doing it in a yukata, but nothing he can’t adjust to.]

Allow me ta be yer escort in showin’ ya the best time imaginable!

[veggie_vamp]

I'll hold you to it, Joker!

[She laughs, and then latches onto his arm.]

[pipers_son]

Miss, I promise I have never disappointed.

[Grinning, he whistled for Avari to follow after them before he starts to head into the rest of the festival.]

Have ya run inta any of the ghosts that are about?

[veggie_vamp]

Just a few, and they're all so cute! I wish the ghosts from back home could see them!

[pipers_son]

Think we could convince a good handful ta start up a bit of fun with us? Impromptu dance session, so ta speak~.

[veggie_vamp]

Oh My Ghoul, that's fangtastic! Wait, wait!

[She makes a grab for her belt-]

I brought my ghost Pokemon with me!

[pipers_son]

[He stumbles to a stop, grin widening.]

Think they could help us find others?

[veggie_vamp]

It's worth a try!

[She throws all the Pokeballs in the air-]

Come on out, everyone!

[And out pop Haunter, Gourgeist, Frosslas, Cofagrigus, Gengar, and Misdreavus!]

[pipers_son]

[Joker gives a whistle at the array of ghostly types.]

You’ve got quite a little group goin’, haven’t ya?

[veggie_vamp]

Heehee, aren't they all the cutest ghosties you've ever seen?

[pipers_son]

Absolutely charmin’~. So, shall we have ‘em search out friends of theirs that might be lurkin’ around the festival?

[veggie_vamp]

Yeah! I bet they can find all of them!

[pipers_son]

Well then, my fine lady, after you!

[He dips down in a dramatic bow.]
