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!

Yeah...hate to say it, but these games are all rigged.

[Jimmy ambles over with an apologetic grin, recognizing Cloud from the network. It's still so weird to him, to know all these people he's never met in person. He's not wearing a yukata, he took one look at the ties and one look at his hands and gave it up. Instead he's opted for a black t-shirt and jeans, his usual James Dean look.]

[He's not wearing his gloves, his fused, warped hands proudly out for anyone to see.]


We had games like this back home at the show. You're not supposed to win, just drop a lot of money on it!

[Cloud and Gongaga both turn to look at Jimmy, the blonde immediately recognizing the other from the network and offering up an easy smile in greeting.]

I had a feeling. We had a place back home that was like that--all the games rigged. And they definitely wanted all the money they could get.

[The Chocobo races had been a different story. Most of the time.

Finally giving the net over to his Sylveon, Cloud offers a hand to Jimmy in greeting.]


Jimmy, right?
anexcitableboy: (look ma)

[personal profile] anexcitableboy 2016-08-17 09:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Hey, carnies gotta make a living, too! Yeah, I'm Jimmy. Good to see you in person!

[He offers his hand with only a moment's hesitation. He hasn't met anybody here who gave one good god damn about his hands. What are the odds that's gonna change now?]

How you settling in?

[Cloud gives the other's hand a firm shake, his gaze never dropping and instead staying focused on Jimmy himself.]

Alright. It's been easier having people to travel with and help me get use to all of this.

[Letting go of the other's hand, Cloud shrugs a bit.]

It's all so different from where I'm from.
anexcitableboy: (who wouldn't love this face)

[personal profile] anexcitableboy 2016-08-20 11:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh yeah, you're still on the road! I did that a while, but now I've got a place in Goldenrod. A lot of people end up settling down, after they've been here a while.

[It's cheaper and it's good to have a place to come home to. Jimmy grins at that, nodding.]

Tell me about it! This place...it's like something out of a science fiction comic book back where I'm from. I mean, it's groovy as all get out, don't get me wrong! But it's...

[He lets out a low whistle.]

I have a feeling that will happen eventually but Basch wants to try his hand at the gyms and Zack and I are tagging along for now.

[A few badges wouldn't hurt to have either.]

A lot to take in?

[Cloud's home world isn't exactly normal and would probably blow Jimmy's mind as well but they certainly don't have anything like pokemon back home.]

Is this at all similar to what you're familiar with?
anexcitableboy: (guess i screwed up)

[personal profile] anexcitableboy 2016-08-22 03:44 pm (UTC)(link)
The gyms are worth it, man. They're tough, but those badges come in handy. I gotta get my ass in gear on those!

[But there's so much to do, and Jimmy's just enjoying having a normal life. Sure, he's probably got one of the more impressive Pokemon teams around, but the gyms require a lot of travel and time.]

Oh man, it's...yeah and no? I mean, we have TV and cars and stuff where I come from, but not like this. It's like stepping into the future, only a different future. I dunno if you've heard about it, but I come from Earth. No Pokemon, no magic, nothing like that.

That's what I keep hearing. Something about movesets that you can get that are really handy to have.

[And he won't say no to anything that makes traveling easier.]

Earth?

[He hasn't heard of anything like that yet.]

Where I come from we have magic and monsters but..not like Pokemon. We don't really train any of the animals--most of them we have to fight and get rid of because they attack people.
