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!

[Ochako takes it, a bit surprised by the weight - it has some heft!]

Oh, wow, fighting? What was going on there?

[Well, it's nothing Ochako can't handle - she lines up and gets ready to swing]
cyan_maid: (Goodness gracious me!)

[personal profile] cyan_maid 2016-08-21 08:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, um...gosh, it's a long story.

[Not easily explained while someone should concentrate on being awesome at a game.]
usedgravity: (Right Ochako!)

[personal profile] usedgravity 2016-08-22 12:55 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, well- you don't have to say if you don't want to.

[A little disappointing but whatever. She's just gonna-

WHAM

The weight flies up the scale and there's a moment of tension, but it comes a bit short of the top bell. Still, pretty impressive for a a girl her age - clearly she's into physical stuff too.]


Ah, close!
cyan_maid: (Determinator)

[personal profile] cyan_maid 2016-08-22 12:38 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't mind, I just figure I'd warn you is all.

[Jane claps. So close!] Try it one more time! I think you can do it!
usedgravity: (Totally Ochako!)

[personal profile] usedgravity 2016-08-22 11:20 pm (UTC)(link)
All right, one more!

[Well, she'll pay for it first, then line it up... this time, she really swings the hammer back, almost looking like she might fall over backwards, before swinging with all her might and bringing it down on it! The weight flies up and-

...ding

It just barely manages to kiss the bell, but it's good enough! The game owner's left scratching his head at where these power house girls came from]


I got it!
cyan_maid: (That's a good one!)

[personal profile] cyan_maid 2016-08-22 11:57 pm (UTC)(link)
[It is a mystery]

Woohoo! You did it! Very impressive!
usedgravity: (Just Ochako)

[personal profile] usedgravity 2016-08-23 02:39 am (UTC)(link)
Eheheh, thanks...

I'm Ochako by the way! Thanks for cheering me on.
cyan_maid: (Smiling backpacker)

[personal profile] cyan_maid 2016-08-23 01:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Anytime! And it's nice to meet you, Ochako. My name is Jane.
usedgravity: (What an Ochako!)

[personal profile] usedgravity 2016-08-23 11:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Nice to meet you too, Jane! [Hearing that name, she seems kind of... familiar. Oh well, whatever] Were you still up for that story then?
cyan_maid: (Every gentleman worth his salt has one!)

[personal profile] cyan_maid 2016-08-24 12:20 am (UTC)(link)
Sure, if you are!

[But gosh, where to begin...how do you tell someone about Homestuck?]
usedgravity: (That's pretty Uraraka)

[personal profile] usedgravity 2016-08-24 02:02 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah! We can go pick up our prizes and maybe a snack?

[Luckily, Ochako's heard part of this story before, though she doesn't know it yet]
cyan_maid: (Every gentleman worth his salt has one!)

[personal profile] cyan_maid 2016-08-24 03:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Sounds like a good plan!

[Hmmmm now what kind of awful ugly stuffed animals should they pick for their prizes...]
usedgravity: From chikyu21.tumblr.com (Exceedingly Ochako)

[personal profile] usedgravity 2016-08-25 02:00 am (UTC)(link)
[All she gets is a finger puppet for her first attempt, but boy howdy, is she getting that that misshapen igglybuff plush for her grand prize!]

Heheh, isn't it cute?

[Maybe if you squint...]
cyan_maid: (Goodness gracious me!)

[personal profile] cyan_maid 2016-08-25 01:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah, in it's own way!

[Jane, meanwhile, picks out a wildly off-color Oshawott plush. The fabric feels a little flimsy, but something about its freckles is so cute...]
usedgravity: (What an Ochako!)

[personal profile] usedgravity 2016-08-26 12:45 am (UTC)(link)
Heheh... [She smiles and cuddles it - this one she might keep!]

So, how about that story, Jane?
cyan_maid: (Always happy chatting with you)

[personal profile] cyan_maid 2016-08-26 01:46 pm (UTC)(link)
[Jane will probably find a use (read: Pokemon who loves this item) for hers.]

Alright! Well then, let's begin with something a little strange: have you ever heard of a game called Sburb?
usedgravity: From chikyu21.tumblr.com (Openly Uraraka)

[personal profile] usedgravity 2016-08-27 05:15 am (UTC)(link)
No- wait, yeah I have! I think John mentioned it? The one where you get super powers?

[And maybe there was some other complicated stuff involved]
cyan_maid: (Haha! That's brilliant!)

[personal profile] cyan_maid 2016-08-27 01:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, so you've met John!

[A pause.] Ah...yes, the "one where you get super powers" - that's certainly one way to put it. Well, my friends and I, like John and his friends, have played it!
usedgravity: (What an Ochako!)

[personal profile] usedgravity 2016-08-28 03:09 am (UTC)(link)
Yes! He's got a swablu like me - or I guess it evolved? But yeah, we've talked a few times!

[Birb buddies]

Oh, wow. Yeah, I heard there was a lot of fighting and stuff involved... no wonder you got so strong!
cyan_maid: (:O)

[personal profile] cyan_maid 2016-08-28 04:24 pm (UTC)(link)
[Birb buddies!]

Ah, yes, you can put it like that. LOTS of fighting indeed. But I wouldn't call myself so strong, just...strong enough.
usedgravity: From chikyu21.tumblr.com (Undeniably Ochako)

[personal profile] usedgravity 2016-08-29 12:19 am (UTC)(link)
Seems like that's pretty strong though. You hit the bell with ease!

<small.[She's still pretty impressed by that]</small>

I wonder if I need to train more?
cyan_maid: (Oooh lookie here)

[personal profile] cyan_maid 2016-08-29 01:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, pish posh! It's really not a big deal!

[She's more bashful than anything.]

Do you usually train?
usedgravity: From chikyu21.tumblr.com (All the Uraraka)

[personal profile] usedgravity 2016-08-30 12:33 am (UTC)(link)
Well, it's still pretty cool!

[Ochako is the queen of cheering on people who are getting all bashful over it]

Yeah, there was a lot of training and exercise at school, and we were even right in the middle of a pretty intense training camp when I got whisked away here.
cyan_maid: (Huh?! With blush)

[personal profile] cyan_maid 2016-08-30 01:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh my! Is it a very athletic-centric school?
usedgravity: (Very Uraraka)

[personal profile] usedgravity 2016-08-31 01:32 am (UTC)(link)
Well, you could say that... it's a school for heroes! Best in the nation, in fact.

[She's pretty proud of that.]
