【MINGLE】 Spirit Day Festival
Spirit Day Festival
.
oct intro
It's October the 31st. And after a month of hard work and preparations, Spirit Day is here!
For the past month, natives and Fallen Stars alike have been working hard to decorate the city for the festival. Once painted in pastel colours, the majority of the buildings are now shades of black, red, orange, purple and green. The spooky vibe includes decorations that resemble bats, skeletons, and pumpkins, accented with glow-in-the-dark paint and strings of lights between the buildings. Once the sun goes down and the festivities begin, the entire city comes to life with lanterns and glowing decor. But the party only lasts until midnight!
Spirit Day is a festival organized and produced by the non-spirit population of Starsand City. The goal is to give thanks to the spirits (and kami) with a night of fun that doesn't rely on their magic. As a result, the majority of the stalls and attractions are run the 'old fashioned way.' Food stalls feature snacks cooked by hand, game stalls are crafted and played without magic, and all of the attractions are made by human hands. There are art galleries, street musicians, sidewalk chalk art, handcrafted candies, and much more. Fallen Stars have also been encouraged to participate and are welcome to assist with or start their own stalls.
All night long, spirits will benefit from a boost in faith. They will have more solid forms than before and be able to communicate their feelings with a limited telepathic vocabulary. At midnight, this magic will wear off. However, spirits in contracts will come away from Spirit Day with a boost in power!
(A) SUNSET START
As the sun begins to set over the horizon, the people of Starsand City rush into action. Last minute preparations cause a flurry of activity around town. You might find yourself drafted to paint a wall or help construct a stall, or even asked to taste test snacks or arrange a display. Everyone is pitching in for the final touches.
For those that aren't helping with prep, there is also the matter of dressing up. In order to help the spirits and kami blend into the crowds, everyone wears extravagant costumes and masks are highly encouraged. There are people on standby who help fit costumes and give suggestions.
The moment that the last drop of sunlight disappears, the entire city will light up and the festivities will begin. Party poppers and loud cheering will make this moment obvious, if the brightly lit decorations and change of atmosphere wasn't enough already.
(B) GENERAL STALLS & GAMES
It's customary for shop owners to run stalls and games. Those that run restaurants typically have stalls that give away a specialized sample, while stores that sell trinkets are giving away their wares as game prizes. There is everything from ring toss to shooting games, goldfish scooping to batting cages. Games will give away small prizes, like stuffed animals or simple clothing or jewelry, all of which can be handwaved in threads.
Food and games aren't the only ways to spend your time. There are plenty of other attractions to visit. There are fashion booths where you can dress up for pictures, art galleries, book exchanges, poetry workshops, haunted houses, dramatic theatre shows, and much more.
In general, it is safe to handwave any sort of attraction being NPC run.
(C) GIVING THANKS
The central focus of Spirit Day is, of course, giving thanks for all that the spirits have done for Starsand City. There are a couple of ways that this is accomplished. The simplest of which is dropping off pieces of Starling at the various shrines around the city. Most city streets have a small shrine where the local spirits can collect Starling, so you don't have to look far to find a donation spot. Even a simple 'thank you' goes a long way for the spirits.
Other ways include hanging written words of thanks on trees, drawing on the sidewalks with chalk, or joining in impromptu music jams. There is also a large canvas in the center of the city, where everyone is encouraged to write something that they're grateful for and maybe doodle a picture.
(D) PLAYER RUN ATTRACTIONS
Fallen Stars are also very welcome to run their own attractions!
Feel free to continue using the planning post to plot out any last minute stall ideas!

Also since it's relevant - for characters who have spirit pacts, do their spirits react in any instinctual way towards the Wish Maker at all?

FIGHTING TOURNAMENT ☆
The tournament has been advertised all week: Come see the Fallen Stars in action! Come watch a fighting tournament: A true show of strength! Among those with Stanet, it's a known fact that the purpose of this tournament is to show the Facility Children that they can rely on the Fallen Stars for help. As long as everyone has a chance to show their strength, the tournament will have been worth the effort.
The fights start in the morning for 8 first round matches, with a break starting at noon and lasting for two hours. Rounds two, three, and four all take place in the evening. Healing tents are set-up outside of the venue, which is a sports stadium turned battleground. It's possible to spectate the matches, talk to the competitors between rounds, and of course any first aid help is appreciated.
MATCH-UPS CAN BE FOUND HERE
Feel free to use this toplevel for reactions, mingling, etc. re: the fighting tournament. Making your own prompts/toplevels is fine too! Have fun!
after match 1-1
Yo. Got a minute? I'm probably not hurt, but my dad will actually cry if I so much as bruise.
[Once she's done getting herself checked out, Chron finds a spot in the viewing stands and settles down to watch the other matches. She's of course interested in the other girls in particular... Keeping an eye on Akutagawa and Fauna are especially high priorities. And as unsettling as it was to watch someone with her brother's face get absolutely wrecked by stylish shoes, her eyes do sparkle with awe when Yor beats Atsushi.]
Wow. Some of you can fight after all.

Gus l Sweet Tooth (Netflix)
I can't....quite reach that high....!
[But at least Gus has progressed in helping paint the lower part of the wall he was asked to assist in painting. It's something. He's just now being frustrated that he can't reach further to keep going and paint more. The woes of being shorter given he is still only ten. It has him pouting as he stands on tip toe to try and reach further but obviously the wall is taller than he is and taller than he can reach.]
B:
[Gus is generally okay with this. Some of the games even look fun. But then he hears it. The gun. It might just be pretend, not a real one like he was hearing back home when those Last Men were after him. But it's loud. So loud. With his enhanced hearing. It hurts, and he immediately tries to hide and cover his ears when he first hears the gun go off.]
Big boom!
C:
[Okay, so he is not the greatest artist but that doesn't stop him from wanting to show his thanks anyway. He still wants to thank the kami for this. For this break from everything from home. For this time to try and wrap his head around everything he learned recently from what he discovered at Birdie's house back home. His notes, his drawings might not be the neatest. But he is still contributing in adding to the collection. Trying not to cover or smudge anyone else's that might be working nearby.]
B
[ And here's someone wearing a blue magical costume, which includes one of those masks that covers the entire front and back of the head that makes her look like an anime character. ]

Deedee Yeowoo// Isekai/Online (Quest and Novels)
[Really, Deedee needs to switch back to the clothing she first appeared in from more casual jeans and shirts. Bright orange robes with the pale blue skirt and dark red prayer beads and sash - great for rolling dragonfire off your back, not so good for noncombat comfort. She already has the three red and cream-tipped tails: all she really needs is the half-kitsune mask to complete her look.
This look right? I’m still worried it looks stupid as hell IRL, or wherever this is anyway.
[It’s still strange how well it fits her. The joy of it. She doesn’t trust it.]
B: Things Mankind Was Not Meant To Fry
[Most of Deedee’s forays into the rest of the festival are for practical things - food, mostly. She’s eying a cart offering deep-fried pizza with suspicion.]
This will either be horrible or amazing, and I’m not sure if I want to risk either.
C: Godbothering For Fun And Prophet
[In theory Deedee should be good at this: visiting shrines, making prayers. Her life depended on communion with the Big Fourteen (and the small hundreds) back on Mundus. That’s what the “cleric” on top of her sheet meant.
[She can still see her sheet here, is the weird thing. But it’s throwing up the odd error, even if her boons seem to work.
[Still. She knows how to pray in the Mundane style, so drops her Stars in the donation boxes, leaves a gift of croquettes and whatever the locals like to drink here, and raises her eyes and telescoping ears to the shrine’s altar.]
Should these offerings please you, guardian kami of this place, protect us lost and Starfallen until we find our way h-
[Deep breath, stifled sob.]
H-home, to those we love. Forgive us of the trespasses we make in ignorance and teach us what pleases you with a gentle hand. As I discharged my vows and oaths to the Laughing Wind, the Black Cat of the Cauldron and the White Cat of the Jar, to the Allmother and Townweaver, and to Who I See In The Mirror, so will I defend and be faithful to you and your people, with my life if need be.
D: Bonesetting and Laying On Of Hands
[The fighting tournament means there’s going to be a lot of idiots proverbially Standing In The Mechanics, which is why Deedee set up her healer’s tent at the outskirts of the arena.
[The massage chair is open to everyone, of course, expert shoulder, back and neck rubs were how she earned her Stars, but she suspected she was going to need to pull out the Bullshit Punchwizard Magic that let her get away with healing more aggressive injuries. She’s got freshly blessed oil and incense and plenty of bandages and regular first aid supplies ready to go.]
Welcome. Have a seat and tell me what needs fixing.
Godbothering? He wants some!
He didn't think he'd hear her call the names of an entire pantheon. An odd feeling comes over him; something of nostalgia, something of grief. His emotions distract him too long, he lingers even after she's said her last prayer... ]
do not poke war gods with sticks.
He's a god of disease, go poke him.

Oz Vessalius l Pandora Hearts
[Oz is helping to paint. Probably has some splattered akin to freckles across his nose and cheeks. Maybe even a little in his hair somehow, as he attempts to do his part in helping. He smiles and turns to whoever might be passing by, offering to hand them a brush and rope them into helping as well.]
You want to paint some too? I can do the lower parts if you go higher?
B:
[Oz might join in with some of the games. The ring toss and goldfish game seems simple enough. Easy enough that even he could give it a go and understands what to do. Given he is not so used to some of the games and technology available here, some he might just watch curiously. He throws one of the rings, hoping to score a prize with one of the soft toys, the rabbit one to be precise.]
Ah!
C:
[Considering Oz sees this as something of a second chance. To see people he no longer could back home. To meet others he would never have gotten to meet at all. He joins in with writing a note of thanks to the kami. For all that being here could be rather more excitement filled or dangerous at times. It was still the best option he had, in seeing some of his friends again. The only option.]

[ Luckily, with his haori, he can kinda... y'know, fly. So getting those higher spots is no big problem for him! ]

SHRINE TOURS ☆
With the help of a few people - Mafuyu's decided to head organization for tours to any and all of the kami shrines - after all, it is Spirit Day. Which means that more awareness needs to be brought to the other shrines.
These will be taking place all day up until the evening and will only cover shrines that have been volunteered for this with huge focuses on the Space-Time Shrine as well as any other shrines that are less prominent; although bigger, more well known shrines such as the Shrine of Curiosity and the Shrine of Love are also pit stops.
Note: Feel free to use this toplevel as a mingle -- feel free to toplevel with shrines and their descriptions (especially for player kami) as well as general shrine touring toplevels for visiting the various shrines.
【SHRINE OF SIN】
The Shrine of Sin sits atop a hill--going past a large set of stone steps right next to an actively running waterfall. There is no signs that point out the location and people are instead greeted with a torii.
You may be told by any tour guides to bow respectfully once, as is custom to greet the deity and ask proper permission to enter.
The temple itself is one you might expect from a Japanese temple: a temizuya by the entrance used for purification, the honden at the main hall with a bell.
On the left side of the shrine itself seems to be a little small cottage, one that is currently off limits.
And if you're looking for the kami herself, she is here, sitting atop the torii watching everyone go by. But instead of her usual garb, she dons the outfit of a witch with a bright red oni mask as if that would help her stand out less.

【SHRINE OF CREATIVITY】
mafuyu asahina ♪ project sekai: colorful stage
[ Mafuyu isn't exactly the kind of person who makes decisions easily.
That is especially the case when it comes to figuring out a proper costume. It's not like the small decisions between one thing or another where she could just flip a coin and have the option made for her.
It's why she's found staring at the massive amount of costume options, eventually carrying many of the suggestions that the locals have given her. If someone notices the stack in her arms, she just smiles and laughs a little bit. ]
Ahaha, they're really enthusiastic about this holiday, you know? But I can't be wasting time all morning on something like this... Could you help me narrow something down?
[ She's busy, after all with so much. ]
♪ [b]lack rock shooter
[ Mafuyu doesn't really have much time to spend playing around. While she isn't exactly doing the tours herself, she is the one handling the organization of the shrine tours so she needs to make certain that everything is running smoothly.
She keeps in touch with those who she's working with and makes sure to do check-ins every now and again.
At one point, she can be found at the Space-Time Shrine checking to see how people are reacting there. It's the reason why she started this whole thing, after all...
Not to mention that she may have worked on a small project on top of this. Come watch a powerpoint with soothing accompanied music explaining about why time and space is important! Spoilers: she has not told either of the spacetime kami she was doing this. Shh. ]
♪ [c]rime and punishment
[ Outside of shrine duties, Mafuyu can be found at the first aid booths, helping out those who are injured. She's also not without her spirit friend, a small koi fish who seems to be vibing around Mafuyu
While the healing Mafuyu does provide tends to be more conventional and without magic--as while her spirit can heal, Mafuyu's barring them from doing so for the holiday--it's effective. Go get your free heals here! They do in fact come with cute little bandages, stickers, and lollipops.
Not to mention that Mafuyu herself is dressed up in a nurse's costume, too. Best of all worlds. ]
♪ wil[d]card

b
He climb the hill as a normal human at first, then gasps and flickers away when he sees that people are gathered there. Like a nervous cat, he lurks around the perimeter until Mafuyu has a moment alone. Yuuto approaches cautiously, making sure that none of the civilians are close enough to see him.]
U, um... Is there something that I can do for you, Asahina-san?

Shijima Chika | OC
[Chika isn't one to care much for festivities. Rather, it seems as though the more the hustle and bustle of the city starts in earnest, the worse her mood gets... until she hears the party poppers starting, at which point, she just wants to leave. But that would be bad.... She can't. If she wants to fit into this place, she needs to try to participate.
Once the stalls are all set up, Chika goes between each food stall. She doesn't look pleased, eyebrows furrowed angrily, but at least, she has her free arm full of sweet foods as she walks.]
b. fighting tournament
[When Chika hears of a fighting tournament like this, for the purpose of proving their strength to the Facility kids... She finds her curiosity piqued.
But as she goes to attend, her dour mood seems to reassert itself, turning away from the stage. It's not like she can see it, anyway.]
... This is stupid.
[She turns to leave again, pushing her way through the crowd if she has to.]
B
[ And she's stopped by someone who finds herself way too curious for her own good, dressed in all white with a mask. ]
I wanna know, why do you think it's stupid? Hmm?
[ It isn't as if this energetic girl doesn't have her own opinions about there being a fighting tournament like this, but she wants to hear what someone else has to say about it. ]

ODEN STAND
With the help of a few others, Ryoko Asakura has set up an oden stand to chill and mingle at. The stand itself has about eight seats, with a stocked tank filled with different ingredients. Daikon, potatoes, noodles, pork, tofu, etc! Working consistently at the stand is one Ryoko Asakura, certainly dressed up as someone owning a oden stand, alright. If she's not there, then there's almost certainly going to be someone that looks like Atsushi Nakajima (of the BSD variety) there. Rest assured, it is absolutely Atsushi and no kami that looks suspiciously like him.
As the day grows later, and Ryoko's been gone for a moment, she'll later return wearing this for a moment, hair tied up in a ponytail! Luckily, as an expert on oden, she's careful not to get anything on her new cute dress. MORE ON THIS IN HER TOP-LEVEL PROPER?!
Anyway enjoy food, mingle and have a seat. Be merry.
no subject
[ Ushio sings a new song with excitement, ready to order a number of varieties of oden. But also she's clearly here to be so enthusiastic so that people can also have oden.
She's helping.
She's also dressed up as a rather teal magical girl with a mask that completely covers her head so that she's basically unidentifiable unless someone recognized her voice. ]
D'ya think I can eat each type of oden in one day?

Zoe | Monster Prom
[ She may have only had a week to put a costume together, but she did manage to modify some thrift store clothes to remake one of her cosplays on short notice. Then again, Garfield was always an easy character to cosplay.
Apperently it still needs a mask, and she only has a day to finish that. So now she's stuck trying to paper mache a likeness of Garfield's face from memory. It's hard to do that when the paste keeps sticking to your tentacle arm. ]
Ugh, I knew I should have just stuck with felt...
B: If this were Con-con, there would be more waifu merch.
[ One huge similarities between fan conventions and town festivals is the presence of vendors peddling their wares. While none of them have any fandom stuff outside Bootleg Disney Princesses and logos that everyone and their dog knows of, there's still a bunch of artists and craftspeople who make cool stuff.
Case in point, there's a tailor who made adorable handmade bat plushies and she is determined to win one from one of the carnival games. She just has to knock over a few milk bottles with enough force. ]
... Challenge accepted. [ She says with a grin... Wait, why are her eyes glowing green? We're the hair tentacles always that long? Oh lord those are so many balls she's grabbing with all those tentacles... ]
C: Thanks for the memories
[ Zoe decides to leave a message on the big canvas. Her handwriting's surprisingly legible, but maybe that's because she writes all the time? ]
Hey spirits, I don't know if this counts for spirit Day, but I have a lot of things to be grateful for these days. In the past few months since becoming a high school girl, I've discovered so much good content and learned how to create awesome content of my own. I'm grateful for being able to go out and learn about so many fun things, juicy secrets included. But the biggest thing I'm greatful for is meeting those nice people who showed me there was more to life than destroying the universe.
Thanks for helping me figure out who I truly am, Spooky High. Here's to more epic adventures in Starsand.
- Zoe
[ She also doodled a chibi version of her giving a peace sign. You can catch her as she's making the finishing touches. ]
There. That should be good. [ She gets up, taking care to close her leg eye when she dusts herself off. ] Now to hit up some chalk murals!
Wildcard!
[ Custom prompt goes here. ]
a
[ Milo sinks down to sit next to her, smiling casually. In their hands they carry a dish of clean water, which they set down in front of themselves and carefully dip their hands into. ]
Here. This should help.
[ They run their wet palms over the paste, gently scrubbing it off before rinsing their hands in the water once more. Once they're done, they glance down at her creation and hold back a chuckle. ]
You didn't arrive here with sketch book in tow? I would have thought you had plenty of references at the ready in there.

PANCAKE STAND
Hello. Did you know that Rinne Rokudo was the MVP for the Autumn Fest? Did you remember Mega's post about how they had a cool prize for the MVP? Well, there was an alternate prize that cropped up, and our favorite broke shinigami decided to pick that one.
As a result, he's decided to share his wealth for Spirit Day! Rinne's set up a stand to share some of his ~Unlimited Pancakes~ with everyone that comes by! He's at least brought syrup, butter, and jam if needed. Please, come take some of the pancakes.
Please.

[Velda's taken a break from running the shooting gallery, and she's brought some pizza that she sets down before Rinne.]
I know it's for free, but I kinda wanted to trade anyway? I mean, we're coworkers, it's fair.

The first round passed with no consequence... and Ryoko let out a sigh. Not here, not yet.
--Later on as the night progressed, Ryoko decides to finally track her down. She's brought a serving of oden with her, and... upon finding her, carefully speaks. ]
H... Hey. Hungry?
[ Perfect start. ]

Kokichi Oma | Danganronpa V3
[Kokichi shows up pretty promptly in his Little Red Riding Hood costume, and is given the responsibility of arranging a display. As a result, he ends up grumbling to himself softly.]
Why can't I be the one to taste-test stuff? I've got a good taster. I'm a great judge.
[Maybe it's because he'd be too picky or he'd get too greedy - either or is likely, but he's still putting up decorations even with his grumbling.]
ii.
[Predictably, seeing all the game stands and the food stands with them, Kokichi is completely hyped up.]
It really is just like a festival from home! [He chirps excitably, his arms tugged to his chest.] I want plushies! I want snackies! I want both! I deserve both!!! Gimmiegimmiegimmie!!!
[And he's gone into bouncy demanding child mode.
Good luck with that to Shuichi, Kaito, and Ryoma in particular.]iii.
[When Kokichi finds the big canvas, he pauses. He taps his foot, then lets out a sigh before smiling a bit to himself. Alright. They want some kind of sappy crap and this time it's probably not a trap like the protective charms...probably. So he uncaps a marker and gets to work.
Thanks for always being there for me, associates. And for my classmates...we'll all be safe and together someday. Whether you like it or not!
Next to the word 'associates', he's drawn a small doodle of the DICE logo, and after his last sentence...there's small chibi doodles of the four already present students (Kaito, Kokichi himself, Shuichi, and Ryoma in that order) followed by a few doodles of those not present from the Gifted Inmates Academy - Korekiyo and Tsumugi conspicuously missing amongst them.]
There we go.
[He pauses, then glances down to the picnic basket on his arm, and quickly draws Loafy next to him in the doodles. Can't forget treasured babie.]
ii
Fortunately for Kokichi, Kaito doesn't have his same sense of cruelty. So after raising his paw-covered hands up behind Kokichi, preparing for an attack... he wraps his arms around his waist, hoisting him up into the air. ]
You won't get anything if I have a say in it!
[ He speaks with a growl to his voice, holding Kokichi tight, in case he tries to squirm away. ]
Just got here, and you're already getting greedy? You know what happens to greedy kids, don't you?
[ He pretends to chomp at Kokichi, sound effects and all. ]

[ When Taiga signed up for the tourney, she really wasn't sure what she had expected from the other fighters. Would it be purely physical, or would there be others similar to a Magi? She watched the rounds before her's with quite a bit of interest, but when it came to be her turn... she hadn't exactly been expecting to fight a kid.
This was her excuse for not transforming, and choosing instead to go in bare handed. It was the same excuse she used to brush away her fairly fast elimination as she found herself tripping and landing out of bounds.
Yea, her pride might be a little hurt for that blunder.
Taiga can still be found hanging out in the tents and watching the matches with interest throughout the day, now dressed up as Alice. She's in pretty good spirits despite the shame that comes with face planting. Come say hi! Or laugh at her. ]
b. pancakes
[ Look, when you have as large of an appetite as Taiga does, the idea of unlimited anything is tempting, but pancakes are even more exciting. Those can be topped with all sorts of sugary sweets! In fact, Taiga's brought some of her own to share. Whipped cream, chocolate and strawberry syrups, and even some fresh fruit!
Her own stack of pancakes is carefully crafted with every available topping. It looks like a bit of a mess, but she's happy. ]
c. wildcard
[ Wow! Have another idea? Lemme know and let's do it. ]

Is... is that allowed?!

↳ option i.
[ Staying inside was honestly sickening for a whole month (it gave her bad flashbacks, especially with how close it was to November) and by the time it hits the end of the month, Inaba knows that she needs to touch some literal grass. She had heard about Spirit Day through Starnet, as well as the tournament that was about to ensue.
It's easy to garner information by watching the network, but there's only so much that can be done that way.
Of course, this means that she needs to sneak out and get a costume and... well, she already has ideas.
Being an SCP 6350 had its own perks, but one of Inaba's was knowing that she was a fictional character. She's looked at the Wiki pages, she knows what roles that she could pull off. And while some roles are much more tempting than others, in the end she goes with someone who matches her stature and won't stand out in the crowd, picking on the role of "Haruka Nanami".
She finds herself tugging a little bit at the wig awkwardly, trying to make sure that everything's in place. She even twirls a bit in her witch costume. ]
I think that's perfect... I hope I can pull this off.
[ Her voice is higher than usual, purposely having shifted to suit the role a bit more. Of course, people are welcome to notice her as she wanders around the festivities in a small attempt to not feel miserable. ]
↳ option ii.
[ Of course, being who she is, she tends to avoid all of the physical activities. However, she does eventually find herself dropping Starling at all of the shrines quietly without a single word.
But when it comes to some of the other activities, she's content to stay in the background --
At least, until someone asks her to join in for a impromptu musical jam, to which she can't exactly say no to. To which she ends up singing.
As for other booths, she can be found doing pretty well at the shooting gallery as well as some of the less intensive, not as crowded booths. ]
↳ option iii.
[ One of the few shrines that she decides to visit is the Shrine of Sin and she finds herself lingering there for more than just a few moments. While she's supposed to be pretending to be someone else, it's here when she drops the proverbial mask, her expression fading into something a little more melancholy. ]
... It'd probably be too much to be here on Spirit Day of all days.
[ She sighs. She can't help but wonder if she should come back another day. She turns on her heel to leave, although it's not as if people can't stop her after what she's said aloud. ]
↳ option wildcard.
[ Anything else you'd like to do? Please feel free to discuss with me a closed starter beforehand, either via PM, Discord or at![[plurk.com profile]](https://plurk.com/favicon.ico)
tsundereban! ]
iii
[ The voice was recognizable, although the person it belonged to wasn't, at least not straight away. Still, Rinne planned to do his due diligence and welcome whomever came. ]
Welcome. It's a pleasure to meet you.
[ They've met before. ]

( open )
It took her a month to decide to try to settle. It took her a little more than that to get bored and want to go back. It's taken her until now to start to get irritated at how long this whole thing would take-- even if she was trapped in time. A thousand years could pass, and she'd still want to reclaim her turf.
Her turf.
For now, despite having made plenty of friends at the stadium, she's decided to indulge just a little. A simple hannya mask on the side of her head, and a bit of piping hot takoyaki to go with it, she really felt the festival spirit. Sure, it wasn't summer, but it still felt pretty good.
Just wasn't the same though. Something was missing. ]

【PLOT】 Make Way for the Wish Maker
It's late in the evening. The festivities have been going on peacefully and the party is in full swing. Music plays loudly, blending together with laughter and singing as a symphony of happiness spreads throughout the city.
They appear without a sound. They don't interrupt the partying, but stand in the shadows. Their body is made of darkness, with the twinkling of starlight swallowed in the inky goo. White eyes and a crooked smile break through the dark. They give off a terrible aura, making the air around them heavy and uncomfortable. Even though they are standing in a circle of trees, distant from the festival, it's hard not to sense the awful feeling they create. It's anxiety inducing. It makes it hard to move and nearly impossible to fight them.
"Aaah. The sweet sound of spirits... I'm sure they have plenty of wishes." A voice like nails on a chalkboard mixed with strained violin strings whispers. "Gathering so many lost, miserable souls in one place... Those fools never cease to amuse me. I can pick up the one and leave the rest behind."

【PLOT】 Spark of Hope
It's been a full month since anyone heard from Mu, let alone saw her. She was last at the Forest of Spirits, where the Fallen Stars witnessed her corruption into a Distortion. Since then, there has been almost complete silence from the Facility. No new Rumors, no attacks from the Facility kids... and for Mu, there was no reason to leave her quarters. That is, until she heard of the fighting tournament.
For those who have met her before, Mu is clearly different now. Her red eyes have a distant glow to them, but it's not of emotion. She's wearing a nice black dress and has a jeweled headband, but her skin is pale and she looks sickly. She wanders the festival almost like a ghost. Staring at things not with interest, but just to observe them blankly. If she was emotionally distant before, then it's much worse now.
She can be found watching the fighting tournament during the day. Then, as evening creeps in, she begins walking around aimlessly.
OOC: Please have your characters only reply to one of the two plot threads! Thank you!

[ He can be heard long before he's seen, and he hurries after the girl, looking excited to see her after so long hearing nothing- or at least nothing good. He notes the distant look to her, but it doesn't outwardly seem to take the wind out of his sails. ]
Heya kiddo I've missed you!

【B PLOT】 Distorted Space
[It was hard to explain how the Wish Maker 'felt' to a being like Yuuto. It felt as if the air was trembling, like the strings of spacetime themselves were being rattled. He felt it in his bones, his ears, his head, his soul. The awful Distortion of his own Rumor ached and horrible memories gnawed at his consciousness. It was the sort of thing that he couldn't ignore. It wanted to bring him to his knees and render him useless.
And as a kami, he thought, that was not the sort of feeling that he could allow at the festival.
He had activated his ability, eyes flashing pink to signal which realm he was staring into, and he had taken off at a brisk walk. So caught up in his power, Yuuto went blind to the 'real world.' It therefore shouldn't come as a surprise that he bumped into one or two people, always reaching out to grab their arm and prevent any painful falls.]
I'm sorry! Are you hurt? I'm in a bit of a hurry, but...
(b) After Encountering Wish Maker
[The Wish Maker was a talker. Their horrendous voice had grated on his senses for an uncomfortably long time, but he'd done his best to withstand it. At least he'd managed to gather some information on their form. He could say that he'd done something good then, right? That this wasn't a waste? He hadn't totally screwed up. He wasn't entirely weak. Yumeno Yuuto was not useless. He could be more than his curse.
But when the Wish Maker left Yuuto alone again, having whispered horrible reminders in his ears and reached into his Rumor, he was unable to hype himself up. It felt like all of the awful pressure from Wish Maker's appearance had been locked inside of him. It was a familiar feeling. It wasn't until he'd walked back into the festival, numb from an internal cold, that he realized what had probably happened.]
My Rumor... I need to get out of here.
[Panic began to rise in him. Panic, self-loathing, and a deep, familiar hatred for his entire existence. If he lifted his head, then people would see that his eyes had changed. They would be scared of him. If he stayed, he'd become dangerous and ruin the festival too. If he went back to his mother's shrine to hide, he would be doing exactly what Wish Maker wanted.
On trembling feet, Yuuto stumbles out of the crowd and towards the Spacetime Shrine. It's a long walk and up a hill that highlights his new clumsiness, but there's a door. He can shut it and lock himself in, and no one will ever know what he is: The worst Yumeno Yuuto to exist.]
b
She had to go home, take care of herself, and then go talk to Yuuto in the morning--
But as she's preparing to, she spots him. There was something wrong, something awful was happening... and he was leaving.
...no, not again--
She's frozen in place momentarily before her legs finally catch up with her mind, and she follows him. Follows towards the Spacetime Shrine, and once they're further away from the crowd, she calls for him. ]
Yuuto! Yuuto, wait!
