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!

[WHAT COULD IT POSSIBLY BE?]

[There's all kinds of things crammed into the netting at the top of the stand, and all of it is pretty awful to be honest. There's floppy Elygem plushes that are visibly glued into crappy plastic UFOs, cheap Klefki-styled keyrings, approximately five million bootleg My Little Ponyta figurines...]

[And it would honestly be perfectly in-character for Heather to try and foist ANY of them off on him, so IT'S A TRUE PUZZLE.]

[The ball knocks the bottle off with a glassy, musical clunk and the teller puts another strand of tickets down on the counter. There's already several others, but Heather's reaching for another ball and aiming. SHE REQUIRES MORE.]
exeggutorhead: (happy grin)

[personal profile] exeggutorhead 2016-08-16 06:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Ha! You got it!

[It's fun to watch her play the game, regardless of anything else. But he's also still looking over the assortment of horrible prizes and their prices. She's still playing for more tickets, so it can't be one of those little plastic keyrings or the off-color stuffed Pokeballs down at the bottom.]

[Or even the slightly bigger hideous prizes. WHAT IS SHE AFTER?]
foolishwren: (whips out my (Yo girl so dongle she sprongle)

[personal profile] foolishwren 2016-08-17 12:17 am (UTC)(link)
[Another clunk and another string of tickets.]

[She's aiming high, clearly.]

[She now has enough for the medium-sized plushes.]

[BUT SHE PICKS UP ANOTHER BALL!]
exeggutorhead: (curious)

[personal profile] exeggutorhead 2016-08-18 03:21 pm (UTC)(link)
[THE SUSPENSE IS KILLING HIM.]

Wow, you're getting a lot of tickets, huh?
foolishwren: *morphs into an ordinary fist-sized onion and never morphs back* (hey IDIOTS... watch THIS.)

[personal profile] foolishwren 2016-08-23 09:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Sure am.

[HER FACADE IS BREAKING A LITTLE BIT, she can't help but start to grin that enormous up-to-something grin she wears when she's... well. Up to something.]

[Another bottle falls and another string of tickets is slapped down.]
exeggutorhead: (c'mon what's the worst that could happen)

[personal profile] exeggutorhead 2016-08-29 06:31 am (UTC)(link)
[SHE'S SO UP TO SOMETHING. But what. All of the prizes here are pretty atrocious in their own way.]

C'mooon.

Give me a clue or something, at least!
foolishwren: (I set your car on fire.)

[personal profile] foolishwren 2016-08-29 07:03 am (UTC)(link)
[THE GRIN GETS BIGGER AND SLIGHTLY MORE DEMENTED.]

Only the best for you, sweetie-pie.

[All the prizes are awful but there's probably only one thing up there horrid enough to make her look that gleeful.]
exeggutorhead: (NOOO I DIDN'T KILL YOUR BEST FRIEND NOT)

[personal profile] exeggutorhead 2016-08-29 07:06 am (UTC)(link)
[It's true.]

[As he looks up at the big prizes (because that's the only thing it could be, for that many tickets), his eyes land on it.]

[That one. It has to be. There's nothing else up there worth this much effort. His eyes widen in slight alarm.]


No way...
foolishwren: me: *makes fun of the typo, repeats the typo for the next ten minutes straight, makes puns based on the typo, names my firstborn after the typo* (friend: *makes a typo*)

[personal profile] foolishwren 2016-08-30 07:07 am (UTC)(link)
[SHE BEGINS TO CACKLE. LIKE A WITCH.]

[Another bottle falls. MORE TICKETS.]

[YOU'RE GETTIN THAT GYARADOS ENVY, IT'S ALL YOURS, YOU LUCKY SON OF A GUN]
exeggutorhead: (WRATH LET GO OF MY LEG)

[personal profile] exeggutorhead 2016-08-30 06:07 pm (UTC)(link)
[OH MY GOD HE'S BREAKING UP WITH HER IMMEDIATELY.]

Really? THAT one?!

[His neon green fate seems to loom down at him. He can't say stare because neither of the lopsided eyes are pointing forward.]
foolishwren: me realizing that 'boobytrap' spelled backwards is 'partyboob' (pictured:)

[personal profile] foolishwren 2016-08-31 12:51 am (UTC)(link)
[She doesn't reply. Just malevolently shriek-laughs harder, and throws the final ball.]

[It goes down, and she doesn't even have to tell the stall-runner which one she wanted. He's been watching her try to win it for the past hour and half. She'd had a rival and a one-woman cheer squad at one point. BY NOW, HE'S JUST HAPPY TO GET RID OF HER.]

[She sags against the counter, still laughing as the neon abomination is taken down from the netting, only managing to choke out--]


Enjoy your new fashion statement, bro!
exeggutorhead: (I'm so pretty)

[personal profile] exeggutorhead 2016-09-04 07:01 am (UTC)(link)
[Envy lets out a drawn-out groan, but he has no choice. He must accept his fate.]

[Taking the abomination from the stall-runner, he looks down at it. The hideous color. The random assortment of parts that makes it look like some kind of horrible Pokemon chimera. The messy blob of dried hot glue that's seeping out from under one plastic eye.]

[The rest of the day is going to be spent wearing this. He knows it.]


Well, you know what?

[His mouth screws up a little, but then he straightens his shoulders and flings the thing around them like an awful feather boa, one hand on his hip.]

I think you've told me I can make anything look good, haven't you?
foolishwren: except the bike is on fire and you're on fire and everything is on fire and you're in hell (life is so easy its like riding a bike)

[personal profile] foolishwren 2016-09-04 02:13 pm (UTC)(link)
[HONESTLY, if he hadn't put it on like a scarf first, she'd have straight up done it for him.]

[As it is, she's still leaning against the counter as he strikes his pose, which of course sets her off again. Weirdly enough, it could look a hell of a lot worse.]


Yo-hou have to keep it on like that all day. You gotta show the world.

exeggutorhead: (lol u gais)

[personal profile] exeggutorhead 2016-09-05 10:06 pm (UTC)(link)
[Getting to listen to her to laugh like that is...honestly probably worth having to wear this stupid thing.]

Hmm...I guess I could. For you.

It'll be the new hit fashion by the end of the day, I can promise you that.
foolishwren: ... COUNT EVEREST (hey what's the world's tallest vampire)

[personal profile] foolishwren 2016-09-07 04:42 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, people were already champing at the bit to steal this hot, in-vogue commodity out from under my nose.

[MAYBE THIS WOULD BE A GOOD TIME FOR THE CAMERA TO PAN OVER TO JOKER SITTING WITH A GIANT BAG OF ICE PRESSED TO HIS EYE, NOT TOO FAR AWAY.]
pipers_son: (icons-for-the-baes) (I'm going to hell in a handbasket.)

[personal profile] pipers_son 2016-09-07 04:52 am (UTC)(link)
[IT'S FINE, IT'S NOT LIKE HE SUFFERED A CONCUSSION OR ANYTHING IN HEATHER'S PURSUIT OF THAT THING]

[Either out of revenge for such wrong doing or to ~set the mood~ because he's a good boss like that, Joker starts to warble out a very heartfelt rendition of Can You Feel the Love Tonight from The Litleo King.]

[listen, he'd give a thumbs up or wave, but he has one hand, and it's full of ice and pressing to his face]
exeggutorhead: (NOOO I DIDN'T KILL YOUR BEST FRIEND NOT)

[personal profile] exeggutorhead 2016-09-07 05:45 pm (UTC)(link)
[Envy had managed to utterly not notice Joker...or really anyone else around them. So it's probably lucky that if it was anyone they know, it is Joker and not say, Lust or Alphonse.]

[Not that he's thinking logically like that.]

[Envy whips his head around to stare at Joker with a panicked look of embarrassment that's honestly hilarious on his face. Especially with his brand new accessory still around his neck.]

[CAUGHT.]
foolishwren: but then I'd have to go to super mega turbo hell for homos and i'm not quite out of my closet yet (well i COULD admit this is hot)

[personal profile] foolishwren 2016-09-08 12:05 pm (UTC)(link)
[Well, to say that Heather hadn't been lowkey aware of the poor ringmaster being her audience for AWHILE would be inaccurate, but she had sort of. Let her guard down. A little.]

[Enough that when he starts to fucking sing, she actually jumps, before slowly turning her head, a look of brief, bald-faced panic on her face. What? HOW THE. WHAT. NO WAY HE CAN'T KNOW.]


... yeah, uh.

I kind of. Gave your boss a minor concussion by accident.

[MAYBE IF SHE TALKS LIKE NORMAL REAL QUICK, IT WON'T BE TOTALLY OBVIOUS THAT JOKER'S HUNCH WAS CORRECT.]

[No, Heather. There's no saving this.]
