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!

[Believe him, Snake, you probably don't want to know the honest answer to that question. As cool as having bright blue eyes with a faint glow may be, the process to get them isn't entire pleasant.]

Sure. Can't let Strife here think he's stronger than me.

[You can practically see the Growlithe preening at his feet. Someone's going to be insufferable if they're not put in their place.]

Strife? Is he one of your buddies here?

[Snake wondered just how strong the guy was. He somehow guessed that Zack wasn't all about spiky hair and blue eyes. Did this guy boast some serious muscles? The answer would soon show.]

Give it your best shot, kid.

I found this guy on a friend of mine's birthday, so I thought it was only right he got named after him.

[Pointing downwards at the Growlithe as he spoke, who had now plopped his butt directly onto Zack's feet.]

You got it, old man.

[But there's a bright smile on his face as he says it, full of confidence. He can totally do this.

Except without his enhancements he's relying entirely on his own, natural muscle, and strong as it may be, he still doesn't quite manage enough force to send it all the way to the top, narrowly missing ringing the bell.]


Guess this thing is harder than it looks.

[Old man? Snake frowned at that comment but knew he was old compared to Zack. The kid couldn't be much older than twenty five.]

Yeah. Looks that way.

[He grunted in amusement at the kid's attempt but knew it was harder than it looked. Zack was no pushover and he was built well. Let's see how Snake would do....]

Guess it's the old man's go.

[He smiled at the younger man and picked up the hammer. It had a good grip to it at least, as he moved into position and hefted the hammer up with one good lift, smashing the head down onto the button. The bar shot up and gently tapped the bell giving off a soft "ding."]

Huh. Good have done better.

[Snake grunted a bit in disappointment.]

[Eighteen, to be exact. And exceptionally tall for his age.

Feeling pretty good about his attempt, Zack nods and hands off the hammer, choosing a spot just to the right to stand and spectate.]


Good luck.

[Strife plops happily at his feet, making soft chattering noises that seem to be congratulating his human on besting him. Even if he didn't quite manage to make the bell ring, Zack was still a winner in his book.

Until Sanke managed it and Zack's eyes go slightly wide and his mouth falls open slightly.]


Guess that'll teach me to underestimate you.
