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!

[Let us meet in another life, Charizard...

While Kaori's not an expert on Asuka's scowls, it's no rocket science—Asuka's irritated (to put it mildly), for some reason or another. For some orange, winged, squishable reason, for instance. Since it's not too different from her usual demeanor, Kaori can never be sure.]


They have candy apples? Where, where?!

[She's already looking around, hoping that the candy apples booth isn't too far away from here. And ignoring Asuka's festival achievements for the most part.]

Let's try that Goldeen scoop together!
crimsonchin: (just explain it to me?)

[personal profile] crimsonchin 2016-08-16 05:42 pm (UTC)(link)
They have a stand not too far from where the rifle game is. It's sort of been my hangout. If you beat the guy in rock paper scissors, you get another one for free. Which I've been doing pretty often.

[ Asuka holds up her left hand; sure enough, she's got a pretty intense arrangement. ]

Don't tell me you're gonna want one of these, too.
melodlies: (In a whirlwind of a thousand hues)

[personal profile] melodlies 2016-08-16 07:13 pm (UTC)(link)
[THAT'S A COOL STORY GIRL, BUT GUESS WHAT...

Whichever stand it is, it doesn't matter now. Not when her is carrying so many of them.]


Just one...or two? [Or a half of what you have, Asuka.] Pretty, pretty please! It's not like you'll eat them all, is it?
crimsonchin: why are we ('Til I think)

[personal profile] crimsonchin 2016-08-16 07:33 pm (UTC)(link)
[ ]

And what if I was?! Don't be such a goddamn mooch! The stand is literally right there!
melodlies: (Only for you I’d gather the stars)

[personal profile] melodlies 2016-08-19 06:07 am (UTC)(link)

It was worth trying...I hope you won't feel too bad when I'll get more candy apples than you.

[She goes silent for a moment, though...that should make Asuka less grumpy for a few seconds, probably?]

Okay, I think two will be enough.

[That's not a whole half, look how generous she is!]
crimsonchin: a simple "right or wrong" (This part of me that wants)

[personal profile] crimsonchin 2016-08-19 02:52 pm (UTC)(link)
[ ]

Fine, take them, you goddamn thief...

[ At least she doesn't seem to be offering much resistance to that? She still has about six or seven more sticking out from between her fingers, so, she's fine. ]

Never let it be said that I don't share.
melodlies: (I’ve never known)

[personal profile] melodlies 2016-08-21 05:33 pm (UTC)(link)
[ ]

Thank you so much!

[At least she's not giving her a hug as a token of gratitude, just snatches the candy apples from Asuka with a grin.]

So...what would you like to do? It seems like you already won some nice prizes so...

[That Minun, for example. Also, she already assumed that they're going to spend the rest of the day together...of course.]
crimsonchin: will always be false (And I feel that everything I choose)

[personal profile] crimsonchin 2016-08-21 06:00 pm (UTC)(link)
[ ]

Yeah, yeah. I don't really have a preference, unless there's something you wanted to try. I don't really have much of an interest in seeing the dancing and shit. And I forget what else they would do at this kind of thing. Fireworks, right?
melodlies: (It wipes away the monochrome hue)

[personal profile] melodlies 2016-08-21 06:22 pm (UTC)(link)
RIGHT! FIREWORKS!

[How could she forget about them? Unbelievable!]

We have to find a perfect spot to watch them! Maybe we could climb on one of the booths...or a tree...

[ ]
crimsonchin: a simple "right or wrong" (This part of me that wants)

[personal profile] crimsonchin 2016-08-22 05:20 am (UTC)(link)
[ ]

What are you, a kid...

[ But come to think of it, there is a pretty good spot, most likely. ]

...I think I know where we can probably see them pretty well. But I don't know. You might get scared.
melodlies: (And I knew that my world was you)

[personal profile] melodlies 2016-08-28 09:04 pm (UTC)(link)
[ ]

Can't you see?

[There's no reason to act like she's older, especially during a festival!]

Where that could be, hm? I never get scared.

[ ]
crimsonchin: saying we're okay this way? (Did we really choose it right)

[personal profile] crimsonchin 2016-08-28 09:34 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Ignoring that...she just motions her head over to the distance. Namely, there's a certain Burned Tower, with two floors and no roof to speak of, the building lost to both time and a massive fire. ]

If you don't mind the ghosts, it'd be a good spot.
melodlies: (It always makes me smile)

[personal profile] melodlies 2016-08-28 10:19 pm (UTC)(link)
[She doesn't need to repeat that twice—Kaori's hand is already wrapped around Asuka's wrist and she's about to drag her along.]

Guess what? I don't! Let's go!

[If they hurry, they should get here before fireworks.]
crimsonchin: hanging your mom by her neck? (Can you even stop the rope)

[personal profile] crimsonchin 2016-08-28 10:41 pm (UTC)(link)
J-Jesus, slow do--

[ It's pointless, though. God dammit. She leans down to grab Happiny, though; can't leave her behind, after all.

The place should be deserted, at least; not a lot of people like to visit haunted, dark towers. But Asuka doesn't mind the atmosphere. In fact, she kind of enjoys it... ]
melodlies: (And fills this world with color)

[personal profile] melodlies 2016-09-04 07:35 pm (UTC)(link)
[Slowing down isn't happening anytime soon, though...not until they actually get there.

Saying that Kaori shares the sentiment with Asuka would be a lie, but it sure is exciting in some way. Well, maybe more than exciting it's just scary, but all she can do at this point is to laugh it off.]


O-Okay, so how should we get up there?

[She can't exactly see any stairs...it's just too dark!]
crimsonchin: (Can you even say the formula)

[personal profile] crimsonchin 2016-09-04 07:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Was that a quiver I just heard in your voice? And here I thought you weren't scared...

Hm...we can always fly up. There isn't much of a roof here, so maybe there's a bit of a perch...you have a bird, right?
melodlies: (Cause inside my dreams)

[personal profile] melodlies 2016-09-04 07:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Nuh-uh...you need to have your ears checked or something, I think.

[Nailed it...]

Can we, I wonder...Chatot is kinda...wimpy...just like the real deal.

[Did say something? No way.]
crimsonchin: a simple "right or wrong" (This part of me that wants)

[personal profile] crimsonchin 2016-09-04 08:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Hm...it can't be helped, then.

[ She heard that, too, of course, but she doesn't want to comment on it. It's certainly dark in here, but...maybe the light from her PokeGear will make a decent enough flashlight? ]

Let's look for the staircase. There must be a way up...
melodlies: (Never hold back your tears)

[personal profile] melodlies 2016-09-04 09:10 pm (UTC)(link)
[Mental note: Kaori Miyazono, if you're ever going to explore any sketchy towers, at least bring a flying Pokemon that can help you out...for your own good.]

Oh, wait...I'll get mine too.

[It's not much, but two PokeGears are better than one!]

Ah?! [That's one high-pitched squeak.] What was it?

[It's just the floor creaking under their weight...]
crimsonchin: (It's not like I care now)

[personal profile] crimsonchin 2016-09-04 09:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Might've been a Ghost Pokemon. I hear they like to hang around here and spook passerby...I've seen a lot of them around recently, so I'm pretty sure that they're popular in this city. Makes sense, considering the story behind this building...

[ Despite Kaori's squeal, Asuka doesn't even flinch. She's had to deal with much scarier things than a creepy buildi--

Oh, wait, it looks like this little guy wants to come out and play! ]


S-schiesse!

[ T-that scared her! ]
melodlies: (I just really wish)

[personal profile] melodlies 2016-09-05 07:25 am (UTC)(link)
[Kaori feels a bit better that she's not the only one scared, to be honest. This Pokemon, though...]

It looks like a teru teru bōzu...

[Does that mean the weather will be good? Beats her.]

Ah, it's coming your way, Asuka...
crimsonchin: why are we ('Til I think)

[personal profile] crimsonchin 2016-09-05 07:28 am (UTC)(link)
I-I don't want anything to do with it!

[ But the anger in her voice isn't her usual I'm so fed up with this shit sort of tone.

She actually sounds genuinely...offended? Like, the mere presence of this thing is bothering her. ]


Happiny, get this thing out of my goddamn sight--

[ But since Happiny is a Normal type, it...can't do much. Oops. ]
melodlies: (Form this symphony)

[personal profile] melodlies 2016-09-05 07:58 am (UTC)(link)
[Poor Happiny...]

Just send out another Pokemon...!

[Not that she could do it herself! But Shuppet seems to be really interested in Asuka, so...

Is this love at first sight?]
crimsonchin: saying how we're lonely (Saying how we're sad and)

[personal profile] crimsonchin 2016-09-05 08:11 am (UTC)(link)
[ It is kind of hovering solely around Asuka, like it wants to play..! He seems really friendly, like he doesn't want to fight...

She wishes she had some Repel on her. But alas... ]


So it's just gonna bother me...t-that's great.
