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!

They weren't...but it didn't matter at all to Kaori, who had been wandering around the festival for all day, but apparently she didn't have enough of it yet.

"Hey, it's you!" That was the only greeting Ochako would get from her, as she was quick to follow and gave her response to the other girl's shout-out almost immediately.

"Yeah, let's!" To match Ochako's thrown up fist, she pulled her arm up, clenching her own fist as well. "The prizes from the games are just too good to give up on them, after all! Where are we going first?!"

"Ah, it's you!" exclaimed Ochako back, just as excitedly. "Kaori, right?"

It had been a while since they'd talked after all, but she was excited to cross paths - in person this time, even!

"Right, I'm gonna win 'em all!" she proclaimed, giving some more fist pumps and an unusually determined face.

"How about the ring toss? Or do you wanna grab food first?" Can't fight on an empty stomach after all.

melodlies: (It always makes me smile)

[personal profile] melodlies 2016-08-16 06:13 pm (UTC)(link)
"Yeah! Kao-chan is fine, too!"

Just as enthusiastic as Ochako, she pressed the side of her hand, looking at the booths that were the closest to them. Ring toss was there, but so was the stand with Haunter Ice Cream.

"We're growing girls, we need to eat, don't we?"

Ochako nodded enthusiastically - okay, so maybe she could have a little fun before she got down to business.

"Yeah, that's right! And what's a festival without the food? Let's go get 'em!" she said with a cheer as she started striding towards the food stalls.
melodlies: (Just a single step away)

[personal profile] melodlies 2016-08-19 06:08 am (UTC)(link)
The choice really was amazing, starting from the usual festival snacks right to the more...local ones. The food stalls with Gastly Dango and Gengar Mochi were next to each other and that's where Kaori halted all of a sudden.

"Oh gosh...look at those...just..." Kaori whispered just after gripping Ochako's shoulder. Well, she couldn't understand why Gengar Mochi was Gengar Mochi since it didn't resemble a Gengar at all, but at least the colors matched.
usedgravity: (Blindingly Ochako)

[personal profile] usedgravity 2016-08-19 12:02 pm (UTC)(link)
[Ochako's pretty impressed - pokemon-themed food is always pretty novel and cute, and the festival is no exception. She's as excited as Kaori about these.]

Ooh, we should definitely get some of those... hey, mister, two please!
melodlies: (All of our emotions)

[personal profile] melodlies 2016-08-21 05:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Two more, please!

[Whoever's selling the food, they start blinking once they hear the other girl order even more snacks.]

Holding back isn't my style, really...why should we hold back anyway? Festival food is always so good, after all!
usedgravity: (Unbelievably Ochako)

[personal profile] usedgravity 2016-08-21 08:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Eh, you're getting two more?!

[Ochako's surprised too - she'd meant to be ordering for them both]

Mmm, you're right though, it really is good!
melodlies: (In between this swirling possibilities)

[personal profile] melodlies 2016-08-28 09:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Yep! Nothing will ever beat festival food, don't you think?

[Life's hard when your stomach is a bottomless pit...! The fact that she had some cotton candy just a little while before meeting Ochako doesn't change anything.

Besides, there's one more thing!]


Also, we need lots of energy to beat all those games!
usedgravity: (The most Ochako)

[personal profile] usedgravity 2016-08-29 12:21 am (UTC)(link)
Mmm, it really is good - especially the fried foods, when they're hot off the griddle! We should get something like that next!

[Well, after they finish their mochi - she sure isn't complainng about having two]

Yeah, that's right! Can't go getting tired out.
melodlies: (A melody no one can play alone)

[personal profile] melodlies 2016-09-04 08:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Sure! It's not even hit and miss with all those snacks...it's always hit and hit!

[If she's so excited about the food, just wait when they start playing actual festival games.

Speaking of which:]


Which one should we try first?
usedgravity: From chikyu21.tumblr.com (Openly Uraraka)

[personal profile] usedgravity 2016-09-05 02:39 am (UTC)(link)
Right? I've yet to meet a snack I didn't like!

[Looking around, she points at...]

Ooh, is that yakisoba? It's not a festival without yakisoba, right?
melodlies: (Turns to spring and today)

[personal profile] melodlies 2016-09-05 07:46 am (UTC)(link)
It isn't!

[It doesn't matter that she has just gotten some snacks, she's ready to sprint to the yakisoba stand already.]

Whoever gets the yakisoba first they...they'll be first to play the festival games!

[And with that said, she breaks into a run...she's rather slow, though!]
usedgravity: (Right On Ochako)

[personal profile] usedgravity 2016-09-06 02:27 am (UTC)(link)
Heheh, you're on!

[Kaori has the jump on her, but Ochako quickly runs after. She's not the fastest hero, but having trained as much as she has, it's enough to easily catch up with the other girl and pull ahead, sliding into line just in front of her]

How's that?
