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!

[The Aron's bravery lasts about .3 seconds once the big head turns to look at him. The little blue eyes get very wide, and it turns, charging and squeaking, back to where Shiro is weaving through the crowd after it.]

[Scooping it up in one hand out of reflex. The metal hand. Because the little guy would probably break his real one.]


Sorry -- he got away from me.
exeggutorhead: (come on guys I'm reading)

[WHOOPS, Chimera hadn't meant to scare the little guy that much, and he looks about as sheepish as a dinosaur can manage to.]

[And the whole thing didn't last long enough or cause an inconvenience to have annoyed Envy much at all. He's still going to roll his eyes, though, just a little.]


Yeah, yeah. Watch those littler ones, they'll run off and get stolen if you're not careful.
shiro2hero: (disappointed dad eyebrows)

[personal profile] shiro2hero 2016-08-16 07:13 am (UTC)(link)
Stolen? Who steals these things? They're everywhere, aren't they?

[As the Aron pokes its head out from burying its face in Shiro's side, squeaking indignantly. Someone is much braver when Dad is here.]
exeggutorhead: (yeah well I guess so)

[personal profile] exeggutorhead 2016-08-18 05:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Would you guess that there's actually a whole big group of criminals dedicated to stealing them?

Why they can't use all those resources to go get their own, I don't know.

But they'll take what they find, so yeah. Careful with the ones that can just be picked up and walked off with.
shiro2hero: (no really i don't get it)

[personal profile] shiro2hero 2016-08-19 03:28 am (UTC)(link)
I'd heard about that. But not that anyone's tried to do anything about it.

[He glances down at his Aron, eyebrows quirking.]

... I'm not sure most people could pick him up, to be honest with you. And I'm not trying to brag.

[There's a reason he's using his metal arm to cart the little guy around.]
exeggutorhead: (calm)

[personal profile] exeggutorhead 2016-08-21 01:25 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, people do try now and then--they used to do a lot worse. Blowing up buildings and things like that, and some hero-types tried to put together a force to stop it.

But they've gotten quieter since then, and I think the people in charge of the hero squad all disappeared.

[He sounds like he'd like to roll his eyes about said hero squad, but is refraining. And now that it's been pointed out, he notices that arm.]

Ha, maybe. But point stands. Even people without an arm like that can work in groups. But that might be conspicuous, a bunch of people trying to carry an Aron all at once.
shiro2hero: (sort of i mean like it could be)

[personal profile] shiro2hero 2016-08-21 02:40 am (UTC)(link)
That's what I heard. That people were in danger from these criminals. And that there'd been explosions.

Not anything really specific.

[He'd be the one to leap in to join said hero squad, if possible.]

Yeah, plus he likes to yell. So... I figured it'd be a little safe.
