DREAM FAIRE: PART 1 - FESTIVAL

The first annual Reverein Dream Faire kicks off with an explosive burst of flower confetti and music. The town itself is blinged decked out with all kinds of jewels and decorations and everyone is in a festive spirit. The local townspeople and many of the fae who live outside of Reverein are gathering at the Riverside where all the activity has been set up and down the banks and neighboring streets. After a year of being in this world, although many have come and gone, others have started to think of this place as home, especially those who don't have anywhere to return to or just prefer it to what's waiting for them back home. Although there's no known way for the current Reverein residents to stick around permanently, everyone is enjoying their time and for all its ups and downs, the world has given something worth celebrating.

This is the first part of our double anniversary event! ICly, this log covers three days and is focused on just the festival portion of the anniversary event. The second part will go up Sunday, September 18th is here. For more details and questions, refer to the Dream Notes.

I. COSTUMES

The day of the Dream Faire has finally arrived and everyone must, absolutely must wear clothing that are fairytale or general fantasy themed. Even dressed as a casual peasant will do. But for those who would like something more creative, there are several boutiques that will have been open for days before the start of the faire and continue to remain open during it so that participants can rent or buy costumes as the faire goes on.

A. Fantasy Flair. Regardless where or how a costume is made, once within the faire grounds all costumes will have an additional "effect" where those wearing them may feel more inclined to "act out" what they're wearing. This is especially so for anyone modeling after a storybook character. Dreamotion abilities may also be "stylized" to fit the theme, which could come in handy for the games.

B. Runaway Outfits. A bit too much dreamotion magic ended up exploding in one boutique's selection of costumes and now the clothes have come to life and are flying amok through the streets and the riverbank. Some outfits are forcibly trying to put themselves on people while others are acting out their design. A set of pirate costumes with sword props are even trying to rob and pillage, though with mixed results as most of their "victims" are too surprised to pay much attention. Collect them all before they get damaged!

II. FESTIVAL FOOD

Stalls and vendors are lined up all along the Riverside and the streets, and many cafes and other eateries are open with special discounts. There are a lot a variety of styles and tastes for anyone to try, as well as the typical festival food, but there are some special Faire food and treats as well. Plenty of open picnic tables and blankets available so enjoy the refreshments! Just don't mind the singing fish that may occasional serenade those eating on the riverbank.

A. Cotton Candy Clouds. A special vendor is requesting customers to dreamotion up their own special cloud, particularly by mood. Happier moods will produce thick, fluffy clouds while sadder clouds are a bit thinner and more coarse. But that's alright because this vendor will take the clouds and sweeten them up no matter what they are! Even thunder clouds are welcome. With some special sugar, a dab of color, and some special dreamotion the clouds are now edible. Happy fluffy clouds will have a sweeter taste while stormy ones may have a spicy kick to them.

B. Firebreather Kebabs. These kebabs are the talk of the faire, daring any to take a bite to see if they can handle the extremely spicy taste. If one is able to handle the flames, they will be able to breathe fire for a few minutes. Of course, this does provide hazards, such as loose cloth and pennants catching on fire from overexcited eaters. And when there's alcohol nearby…

C. Honey Mead. Plenty of cat-bee honey was collected for the Faire and there are several stands and makeshift pubs set up for anyone to have a taste of the special Honey Mead. Even minors can have a taste as there is a low alcoholic version that is safe for consumption. Drinking it will leave anyone feeling giddy and festive. Just be on the look out for very small bumble bears and not so small honeycomb badgers. They're not aggressive, but they will be attracted to the Honey Mead and if they get the strong alcoholic versions…might get a bit more exciting.

D. Starfruit Candy and Jam. Special starfruit are available to be turned into candy or mashed into special jam. What makes these fruits special is when cut open, the inside looks like the starry skies and the jam will also appear like distant galaxies. The taste is also out of this world and can make for great gifts for friends! Anyone who is doing the glassblowing activity could use their jars here.

E. Wild Bliss, At Day's End Pop-up Cafe. A lively looking pop-up outdoor café has been setup on the faire grounds, and by the sign setup with it is called Wild Bliss, At Day's End. The closer the curious venture, the more clear it becomes that this is a collaboration of three restaurants in Reverein itself; At Day's End, Lady of Bliss, and The Wild Harvest. Reason behind the curious name! The food and drinks they provide are somewhat exclusive in the celebration of reaching the one year mark in this 'dreamy' town all have found themselves in. A seating area has been arranged so one does need to travel far to settle down and enjoy their treats:

Bountiful Taco (Wild Harvest): A tortilla bowl filled with vegetables both grilled and fresh, braised tender pork, and seasoned chopped steak. A mix of both Western and Eastern spices and marinades made to work in harmony for a delicious taco-bowlful of filling food. Comes with verde salsa on the side.
Radiant Tempest (Wild Harvest): A trio of bright and colorful tacos, filled with shrimp and other fresh caught seafood. Topped with pico de gallo that includes chopped apples, pineapple, and a splash of lime juice to help tie it all together like a refreshing drink. Comes with a choice of wine-infused salsa or spicy verde.
Taco Temptation (Wild Harvest): A choice of any color of the rainbow, these are waffle cone inspired taco shells filled with rolled ice cream, with a few various toppings of your choice! Enough sweetness and sugar to appease any sweet-tooth.

Azure Omen (At Day's End): A naturally cold, dark blue wine that glitters like ice, with a taste halfway between dry and sweet and hints of mineral flavors. When drunk, it may grant a change in luck for a period of time from mild to moderate, potentially increasing with the more consumed. Disclaimer: the luck is not always good.
Dawn in the Wildlands (At Day's End): A non-alcoholic punch consisting of white grape juice, peach concentrate, sparkling water, multiple fruits (limes, oranges, strawberries, cherries, and peaches), and mint.

Pudding Tapirs (Lady of Bliss): Steamed pudding shaped into a sleeping tapir on a cloud of whipped cream and people can jiggle em or slap their lil tapir bumbums
Dreamer Tarts (Lady of Bliss): Like little baked alaskas, a cloud of toasted meringue with a chocolate tapir on top, and cutting into the cloud reveals a scoop of ice cream over a lil cake.

III. FUN & GAMES

A. Leather Bags of Holding. Special leather bags can be made at this stall, with the option to either make one from scratch or decorate a ready made one. The sizes range from small pouches, to medium shoulderbags, to large backpacks. What makes these special are the special patterns that can be sewn on. If done using the proper amount of positive dreamotion, particularly ones filled with hopes and dreams of the future, the bags will be able to hold up to three times the amount they physically can hold.

B. Dreamglass. Wearing appropriate gear including gloves, aprons, and face shields, participants can use dreamotion to create their own special glass creations. One way is using the traditional technique of using a blowpipe to blow through the rod to expand the glass into any shape that is on their mind. The other is using special tools to sculpt their creation instead. Imagination is the only limit, and colors, decorations, and other accessories can be added. Even a memory could be imprinted on the glass.

C. Flower Swings. A few trees have flower swings installed and while some are for relaxing and enjoying a fun swing, there is one in particularly that actually spins like a swing carousel. Everyone hangs on tight for a thrilling ride—until there's a little too much excitement and the branches suddenly raise everyone up way too high, spin dangerously fast, or even shake the branches. Time to calm this ride down!

D. Dreamotion Dancing. A special dancing troupe has formed to perform unique dances supplemented by dreamotion to retell stories and scenes. With each movement, a scene is painted briefly in the air, each one so vivid it's almost like watching it first hand. They can also create other spectacles, kicking up dust made bunnies, ribbons rippling up a glittery storm, and making their musical instruments dance as they play. They invite anyone willing or unwilling to dance with them, encouraging others to find partners to try and create their own special dance. Perhaps the costumes will help add an extra flair.

E. Duels. What better way than to show one's combat skills by a friendly duel? However, to keep everyone safe, instead of real weapons everyone is given pool noodles foam weapons molded in the shape of their real counterparts. They are soaked with special paint so when one is hit, a red or blue color splashes to indicate the "injury" sustained. Dreamotion is also allowed to be used, with the only restriction that no one should enter with killing intent and anyone who goes overboard will be thrown out by these friendly looking ogres. (The only thing "friendly" looking about them are the flower crowns on their heads.)

F. Axing Redcaps. Show off your throwing skills by competing against each other and going through a short obstacle course filled with various targets. Players must throw their ax at designated red bordered targets, using dreamotion to give it an extra boost in speed, strength, and even direction. Don't hit any with the green borders! Bonus points are given to Redcaps that pop out—but wait, why are some of them real!? In the middle of a few games, real Redcaps will appear to try and steal goods, especially other axes and weapons. Capture or kill, they need to be stopped!

Comments

Louie Duck | DuckTales 2017 | OTA

[talkyourwayout]

[OOC: Louie is dressed as a pirate for the festival. Art source here!]

Cotton Candy Clouds
[Louie's been hanging out near this still, because the whole thing is kind of interesting. He's still not feeling comfortable with the dreamotion magic, so he isn't going up himself, but maybe watching others using the magic will help? Of course, he can't resist at least one snarky little joke, turning to someone who approaches the stall with a snicker.]

It's weird, usually people aren't encouraged to eat their feelings. But this? [Her jerks his thumb toward the stall.] Gives it a whole new meaning.

Starfruit Candy and Jam
[These treats, on the other hand, Louie is happy to try. All of the products made from these starfruit look pretty dang cool, and the candy is delicious. After having one, Louie can't help wondering about getting his hands on more in the future. Imagine what other cool things could be created with these fruit! Marketable things!]

So, anybody know where these things can be found growing?

Leather Bags of Holding
[Louie didn't expect sewing to be frustrating. Tedious, sure, but an awesome bag like this would be worth the boredom. And he's sewn things before, mostly the occasional rip in his hoodie, but he was a Junior Woodchuck (however briefly) and the couple of badges he bothered earning, he'd sewn those on. Well, part-way, until he could talk or trick Huey into taking over.

Sewing on the patch for his bag's design is a lot like the badge sewing, but this is a lot harder than he remembers - maybe it's because he actually cares about this bag working? Or maybe it's just doing all the sewing himself. Whatever the case, he keeps having to stop and set his work aside to avoid negative emotions messing up the magic. After a while of this, he's starting to get impatient, and when someone nearby finishes their own sewing...]

Hold on... You seem good at this. I'm sure it wouldn't be a big deal for you to help me finish up mine. How long can it take?

[Says the kid who's been here for fifteen minutes, at least, and is barely halfway done.]

Wildcard
[Hit me up over DM or just go for something else!]

Starfruit

[whose_son_am_i]

If you find out, let me know. If I find out, I'll let you know.

[Loki is in his element and delighted by the sweets. Helped along by the Honey-Mead.]

cotton candy clouds

[itsgunnabe_mei]

[ Mei didn't notice Louie there at first - to be more specific, she didn't see him, thus didn't see what he was - and just chuckles, reaching out to give the cloud creation a try. She's dressed as a delicate princess but is hardly acting like one. ]

I know! Isn't that hilarious? And right now, I'm so happy I could eat all night! I can share with you, if you want! Nothing's killing my mood today!

Loki Laufeyson/Odinson | OTA

[whose_son_am_i]

I. Costumes and general interaction
Fortunately, Loki's costume meant his personality wasn't too different from how he was. A rogue and trickster. God of Mischief. He'd worked hard at Madame Blackbird's as a model to 'pay' for his outfit.

Overall, he still found the decorations almost too garish, but they were also full of charm and he could see and appreciate the effort that had been put in.

II. Food
Honey Mead, Fire breather Kababs, and Starfruit Candy
Oh he was drawn to the Mead like a bee to well...honey! It reminded him of home, and he'd never turn down a drink without a good reason. That it put him in a very good mood was all to the better, in Loki's mind. So far he's been fending off a bumble bear or two. Mostly by being vigilant in monitoring his drinks.

He was also drawn to the Candy because of his sweet tooth--and very much appreciated the inside of them. If he's able, he'll purchase extra for later. PERHAPS he could be persuaded to part with them as gifts, but he is still new here...

The firebreather Kebabs were lovely, as he appreciated the spice--and the ability to breath fire for a few minutes. There was something about the irony of him, a frost-giant, being able to breath fire that just delighted him. He's managing to keep it mostly away from others, but as he drinks more he might not always be so careful...

Wild Bliss at Day's End
It wasn't an easy travel, but Loki found it worth it for good food and drink. He's found with an Azure Omen--which will give him a mild change of luck. While he enjoys the drink, he's only having the one as he prefers the Honey-Mead over all. He'll also be absolutely delighted with the Dreamer Tarts and the Taco Temptations. Someone might wnat to see about encouraging him to eat more real food than sweets.

III. Fun & Games
Leather Bags of Holding
Oh Loki was very interested in this item. He's not really one for crafts, especially sewing, but he's intensely focused (despite how drunk or not drunk he might be) on getting this right. He is focusing on how he's had to survive on his own before, and come out stronger, and trying to infuse his dreamotion with determination and drive to succeed. He's attempting a medium shoulder bag, and focusing on something familiar as well. It's a bindrune that just so happens to be his name. BUT since his name includes the runes for a journey and growth, freedom and productive interaction, transformation, and the concentrated self... It seems appropriate for an item he'll need starting in his new 'home' for however long he's here.

Flower Swings
The tamer swings were nice enough, but Loki was drawn to something more exciting and interesting. Others may be trying to calm the carousel swing down, but he is cheering and encouraging it higher and faster! Enjoying the unpredictability of it. He'll take breaks on the regular swings, but always come back to the carousel.

Dreamotion Dancing
Also a delight for him, as he appreciates the dancers and will easily join in. He'll also search for those few people he does know already to engage in a dance. He's just as easily willing to partner with a stranger or dance on his own! It's a party after all.

Axing Redcaps
This, he can get behind--although axes are a bit different than knives. No matter, as his Dreamotion is enough to make up for his unfamiliarity with throwing an axe. It's similar enough to how he has used his own magic in the past to enhance his throwing knives that he's quick to pick it up. He may also be drunk, or unlucky--so a few of those throws may come close to a green border. Or to a real Red Cap trying to steal other weapons.

Wildcard
Got an idea? hit me up here or on plurk.

Wild Bliss

[grandduchess_anya]

“Hey there, how is the Faire so far?” Anya calls out to him as she shows with a basket of Bountiful Tacos and a glass of Dawn in the Wildlands on tow and she is dressed up as a knight with a sword on her belt but no helmet to be found.

She is checking around the pop up cafe to get something very yummy as she doesn’t trust the fire kabobs that much. Anya is not so much a person who would like things too spicy to the point of breathing fire.

Firebreather Kababs

[makingmyway]

Dorian is in a few drinks deep himself, and while he wouldn't really even consider himself tipsy, he does realize that his motor skills aren't quite as fine as usual.

Even with the alcohol slowing him down, though, he notices a stream of fire in the nick of time, and manages to dodge out of the way, though does nearly run into another stall in the process.

"Hey...! Careful where you're breathing that!"

Della Duck | Ducktales 2017

[sos_pilot]

[ Having enough of knighthood before, Della's decided to go for an outfit that would make her sweat less... behold, Prince Della! Because they have all the fun in fairy-tales, and she wouldn't mind saving a few damsels. ]

Runaway Outfits

[ Right away with the fun, huh? Della laughs merrily before leaping into the fray, trying to wrestle a puffy shirt... To reiterate, a duck woman dressed like a prince is wrestling a puffy shirt. No, you haven't been drinking that much mead. ]

So, I know we're not supposed to damage these things, but they have to be okay with some wrinkles! I never was any good at folding laundry!

Firebreather Kebabs

[ Della's taste buds nearly died from eating nothing but oxy-chew for ten years, so she's all about the spice now! But just spewing fire isn't enough for the always energetic Della. Like blowing bubbles or exhaling smoke, she's trying to create words and images with the short bursts of fire.

Given the many, many, many empty kebabs all over the place, she's still not satisfied. ]

Aw, c'mon! It always goes out before I get to the second L. Are there any left? I bet I can do it this time!

Dreamglass

[ Della's not great the art thing, but she's trying and having fun, so that's what's important, right? The "final" result is a giant white orb many with dark spots - A full moon! But at the bottom are a few awkward stick figure attempts, although it may take a few guesses what they are. Three little figures - blue, red, and green - are embracing a taller white and brown figure. Maybe?

But Della's imprinted a memory on the glass, which plays out whenever someone gets close enough.

Della smiles warmly as she watches the memory play out, fondly stroking the top of the orb. She could watch this all day. ]

... Still think Jet, Turbo, and Rebel would have been neat.

Flower Swings

[ All right, enough of the sappy stuff. Back to Della causing or solving chaos. As the tree picks up speed, she's one of the few people who don't break into panic. Instead, she laughs like a madwoman. Sigh. ]

Is this as fast as this thing can go? C'mon, let's take it up a notch! I'm still nowhere near "upchuck mode"!

Duels

[ Maybe it's the outfit talking, but Della is feeling a tad chivalrous now. Instead of going into a wild bonk-ing frenzy, she does a sweeping bow to her opponent. All's fair in pool noodles and war. ]

May we both fight with honor, dignity, nobility, yadda yadda yadda. I'll even allow you the first strike... if you can hit me, that is.

Axing Redcaps

[ Despite all of Della's madcap excessiveness, she is good at dodging traps and using weaponry. It's all been fun and games until she hits a real Redcap - oof, and now it's really red, if you know what I mean! Greatly startled, Della pauses mid-throw, eyes widening. ]

Wait, are those things real?! I thought it was just part of the game! I didn't mean to hurt it!

[ Concerned, she lowers her arm and heads to the injured monster. ]

Hey, buddy, you okay? I really thought you were -

[ Aaand it punches her hard enough to knock her on her back, steals her ax, and begins to run. Della lays there quietly, eyelid twitching, that infamous McDuck/Duck temper threatening to burst... ]

... All right. That thing's gotta die now.

Wildcard
[ Make your own prompt! Feel free to hit me up at melcat33 (plurk) or melcat33#1997 (discord) ]

Flower Swings

[senorita_perfecta]

(As it turns out, Della isn’t the only one who didn’t panic over out of control flower swings: in fact, Isabela has her fair share of swinging around on vines, so a flower swing is essentially like familiar territory.

It is no wonder that she is hanging in there and having a great time as much as she can as the speed increases despite being dressed like a pretty princess.)

Oh wow, this is is a ton of fun! We really need to pick up the speed on the swings.

Dreamglass

[talkyourwayout]

[Louie had been off doing his own thing, and he isn't looking for Della when he passes by the glassblowing station- Just notices her there and figures checking in can't hurt... He might not have been so sure about that if he'd known about the memory in question. Louie has long since moved past his initial reaction to Della being back, and even past his self-judgement for those early mixed feelings.

No, it's not the memory itself that hits hard, it's seeing his mother react to it. She looks so happy, and it brings back feelings of homesickness from the past year. It feels so dumb: They're together now, and he'd learned to deal with being away from his family after a point. But he can't help it, he's feeling sentimental.

The dreamotion latches onto this bittersweet sensation, too. As Louie walks up to Della, the emotion-based magic bring some very faint music to the immediate space. But he's not about to point that out. In fact, aside from patting her on the back, Louie just focuses on the lighter part in all of this.]

You might still get one of those names; I would not be surprised if Dewey decided to actually go by Turbo.

Soldier: 76 | Overwatch | OTA

[steadypulse]

(OOC: As a note, 76 is more or less dressed as a "Royal Beast"; because why not?)

I. Wild Bliss, At Day's End Pop-up Café

Set-Up
[As one of the cooks, at least for The Wild Harvest's side of this, 76 made sure that he was on the grounds bright and early- well, as early as he was allowed to help get things built-up into place. The grills they would be using put together and the holes dug under them for the fires here and there; he was definitely going to be making sure things were cooked fresh for those who stopped by. Let them watch as the various meats and veggies were cooked.

Which also meant getting all of the ingredients stocked ad tucked away safely and securely to where they'd do well, a bit of ice dreamotion curling from blackened and clawed fingertips for the portable iceboxes and all.

There was also the heavy lifting-]

Watch your heads! Beams're a bit unsteady still, be read in a bit.

[Either way, day 1 was going to be the busiest start.]

Taco Time
[Grills were fired up and the assortments of meats were cooking with a bi of added flair as 76 worked. Sure, the gold accents to his costume caught that fire light as some of those flames flickered various colors whenever he sauced something.

The rolled ice-cream got the same treatment, mixing the various ingredients for the requested flavor together on a clean metal plate that froze it all together. He allowed the ice dreamotion he knew to add little shapes across the surface, an added bit of sparkle whenever a ribboning of sparkling sweet syrup was added, the substance seeming to glitter like a galaxy even once mixed in.

Whichever was requested?]

Order up!

[Held out on either a plate or bowl—]

Whose next?

[Royalty ready to serve.]

Down Time
[Even he had to eat, and it wouldn't be odd to catch 76 at the edge of the pop-up's seating, off his feet and enjoying one of the off-menu drinks. Usually a juice or something, and a plate of food near him that was more being slowly picked at than anything else.

Large and fluffy furred tail curled behind him, ears flicking this way and that.]

II. Fun & Games

Holding Bags
[This? This was something that could be downright handy given how often 76 traveled out into the Wildlands; sometimes further. The more supplies he could take with him, but also the more items he could bring back if something interesting was come across. He did often bring back fruits and other plant samples if he came across something interesting.

... also didn't hurt to bring back a few extra Glowing Dawns on occasion, either.]

So, let's see here-

[There was a backpack draped across his lap, mostly finished, but there was a bit of shadow curling around a seam and seeping in and moving like thread. Event glittered a bit, like little stars in that darkness.

Funny, the pattern being embroidered on was taking on the shape of a wolf despite himself.]

Axin' Time!
[This was something fun, ax twirled in hand as 76 sized up one of the ranges before he was throwing one.

There was a green bordered obstacle that popped up, and in an instant the ax went through a shadow portal to come out on the other side. This repeated for as many of them that popped up until near the end-

Got close to a bullseye- but not quite.

Was already lifting another one from the table, getting a feel for it's weight.]

Might not be skeeball, but just as fun.

III. Wildcard
[Bring your own starter! Or get in touch with me via PM/Game Discord/etc. if you want for something.]

Holding Bags

[makingmyway]

[ Working on his own bag nearby, Dorian couldn't help noticing the shape that was forming on the other bag, mostly because it was a bit similar to a smaller version of the one he was currently working on himself. ]

Well, that seems to be turning out really well. Do you have experience with this sort of thing?

Mikaela Hyakuya | OTA

[cravingdesires]

[ Even though his usual outfit would fit right in with the other costumes, Mikaela does dress up. A simple one that could either be princely or simply nobility. He doesn't particularly care too much. It does nothing to hide his horns , black tail, or pointed ears, so... if asked, he'll just say he's a demon prince. ]

i. Runaway Outfits

[ Fighting is something he knows, especially with a sword. Mikaela opts not to use his own (very real) sword up against the props being swung around. Instead, he picks up a stray fake sword in order to battle with. ]

I'll distract it, you restrain it.

[ Spoken to anyone else that might be around looking for some action at this festival. ]

ii. Leather Bags of Holding

[ These bags seem practical, so Mikaela pauses at the stall where they're made. He watches for a few minutes, interested in seeing how other people fill it with dreamotion. It takes him a bit to actually join in the making process. This teen starts from scratch, doing pretty well in sewing the bag together so that it won't break.

If anyone is struggling next to him, he'll look over at them. ]

Do you need help? [ This is a one-time offer. ]

iii. Duels

[ Friendly duels? Not something Mikaela ever got the opportunity to do. It was always tough love when training and fights for survival for him. Which is why he watches these people duel with foam weapons and paint. It's an interesting concept, that's for sure. ]

I suppose this is still a good way to judge other people's skill.

[ Spoken mostly aloud to himself, but feel free to chime in. ]

iv. Wildcard

[ Hit me up with anything! ]

ii

[donfire]

[Ace has absolutely no idea how to make a bag. Sure he can put all his positive feelings into it, (of which there aren't many but he's trying ok) but it's not easy. He's actually having a lot of trouble! Making straw hats and baskets was easy, this was hell.

So when his neighbour offers him some help, Ace smiles at him.]

Yes! Can you help me?

Seto Kaiba | Yu-gi-oh! | OTA

[blue_eyed_obsession]

[OOC: Kaiba will be dressed in this after prompt one and he won't be thrilled about it (when is he ever?). At least it comes with some sweet water-themed abilities if he figures that out.]

Lost in the crowd

It had only been a few days prior when Kaiba had been divided into two very different versions of himself, neither he particularly liked, and both unnerved him. It was the first time he'd ever been on the receiving end of his own bitterness, envy, and hate. He'd always been hard on himself in terms of pushing himself forward, staying ahead of the game, mastering new strategies for the dueling circuit, and driving himself to the brink of exhaustion to forward his innovations but this was something else entirely. Unsure, of where to direct his uncertainty he took turns blaming the influences in his life that had fostered all that negativity, himself personally, or.. the dreamscape itself. Surely, these versions of himself were greatly exaggerated.

Yes, it was the dreamscape's fault for messing with his head. Although he might have regretted his actions under those unusual circumstances, he just wanted to forget it ever happened.

The last thing he wanted was to attend a festival, but he wasn't sure he could convincingly pretend like everything was "ok" to escape his roommate's notice.. so.. here he was. He wasn't going to be caught dead in a costume however. Spotting someone seated at a table, eating one of the festival delicacies, he purposefully bumped into them so they ended up dropping the entrée straight onto the ground.

"Oops, How clumsy of me." His words were insincere because he definitely wasn't sorry. Since he was feeling miserable why shouldn't everyone else feel likewise. He should have learned a lesson from the other day, but if he had he wasn't willing to accept it at this moment. Besides, a prank like this was much more sedate than what that other self had attempted. They were nothing alike. Nothing at all alike.

I. B. Runaway Oufits - Famous Last Words

"What are you-?!" A tall brunette exclaimed about the time a persistent cravat made a lunge for his neck. The force of it's attempt nearly toppled the man over into a collection of barrels but he managed to steady himself. With a grunt, he fended the article of clothing off but others swiftly followed. "Get off me!" He shouted loudly during the course of the next ambush. He defended himself valiantly for a spell, but eventually he grew much too exhausted to fend them off any longer.

So, he ended up dressed in whatever this was supposed to be.

"I'm really getting tired of all this "mystical" whimsy..." With a scrutinizing eye he looked at what he had ended up in and shook his head. "That's it.. the fun's over." The stray clothing items lingering about seemed to sense a change in the air and shot off in all directions. It wouldn't matter- Kaiba would hunt them down, one by one if he had to....

[OOC: Kaiba can also be found trying to procure a bag of holding without doing all that work himself, and engaging in a little axe throwing to blow off more steam. He has a surprisingly good aim even without using dreamotion abilities. MISC is an option too!]

Runaway Outfits

[grandduchess_anya]

As far as Anya is aware, the last thing she wants to see happening is sentient clothing running amok and causing mayhem everywhere they went. The seamstress in her kicks in gear as she tries to find the runaway costumes in town, knowing that most clothing and costumes can’t handle so much damages that well. Luckily the costume she has picked out for the faire didn’t try to attack her outright: she is dressed up to be a knight in shining armor, but it has been made to fit a woman’s body and there is no helmet to be found. Which does get her annoyed that she didn’t have one to complete the outfit, but she digresses. She’s got sentient fleeing costumes to round up.

As she scrambles to find those runaway costumes, she runs into a grumpy looking brunet who is also looking for them too. She must have wondered what they have done to annoy him today. Hoping that he might help her out, she tries to call out to him, “Hey there, do you need some help? I’m also trying to find those pesky costumes as well.”

[ Amy can't help spending a lot of time around the starfruit stalls, watching as the fruit are cut open and mashed, and made into candies or jams. She's excited when given a chance to try a candy, and after a bite she can't help a soft squeal. ]

Oh my gosh! It tastes so good! And they're so pretty too! [ She'll turn to the nearest person nearby, waving them over. ] Hey, have you seen these? Have you tried any of these? These things are amazing!

Wild Bliss, At Day's End Pop-up Cafe

[ When she gets a bit hungrier, Amy decides to drop by the Pop-Up cafe to grab something to eat. She takes her time browsing the menu, and seems to be having a bit of trouble making a decision. ]

Hmm....I know I should eat a proper meal first...but the desserts look so tasty.

Flower Swings

[ When the swing carousel starts spinning even faster, and the tree's branches lift them all even higher in the air, most of the passengers actually do start screaming, most of them in fear. But Amy just starts laughing, and she seems to just be having a great time. ]

Come on, let's see if we can make it go faster!

Dreamotion Dancing

[ Amy is in awe as she watches the dancing troupe's performance, watching the scenes that they and tricks they create. When they invite others to dance, Amy looks around to see if there are any who are hesitant, and she skips over to them. ]

Hey, come on! Let's dance!

Wildcard

(( Feel free to do something else with Amy! She'll definitely be trying out the different food, and will be trying her hand at making a leather bag of holding and dreamglass. She could also be talked into a duel if someone's interested. Or feel free hit me up at usamichan13! ))

Starfruit candy and jam

[multidisciplinary]

[ Zelda, dressed in her traditional royal gown, is also attracted to the bevy of sweets available at the faire. She too is watching in awe as the vendor prepares the star fruits. Are these those paopu fruits Sora wrote about? By the looks of their ethereal interiors, perhaps they really are as magical as he said.

Out of the corner of her eye, she spots Amy waving. Oh, she has some of the candies. ]

No, I haven't had the opportunity to try them yet. [ She reaches out as if to take one of Amy's. ] May I?

Dorian Storm | Critical Role | OTA

[makingmyway]

(( He'll try to get away with just wearing his regular outfit. But after being persuaded by some vendors he'll be wearing a more bard-like outfit. Art source here! ))

Honey Mead

[ Naturally during an event like this, Dorian is going to find if there were any drinks being served, and mead is at least a good start. The honey is certainly sweet, but adds a delightful flavor, and even if the alcohol isn't too strong, Dorian is already having a pretty good time.

As he's drinking, though, he does catch sight of some of the bumble bears they were warned about, hovering around some of the containers of mead. ]

Mm...that should probably be dealt with before it becomes a problem, right?

Leather Bags of Holding

[ For a moment, Dorian does consider whether to get a bag of holding. He technically already does have one. But after arriving in this world, he did notice that his bag of holding doesn't seem to really... hold as much as it should. And if he's going to be in this world for a while, it probably couldn't hurt to have a bag for this things here.

He eventually settles on one of the shoulderbags, since it looks to be about a size he was comfortable with. He chooses ones that's already made, but doesn't mind decorating it himself. And, depending on the kind of vibe he gives off, someone watching him might actually be surprised with how well he's actually sewing, decorating his bag with a the different patterns and patches that are provided. ]

Axing Redcaps

[ Having plenty of experience with axe throwing, Dorian is happy to try his hand out at the obstacle course. He's excited by the challenge, and he can feel the hum of some kind of energy - whether it's his inherent wind ability, or the dreamotion ability of this world, he isn't sure - thrum beneath his skin. ]

Well? Are we ready to start?

Wildcard

(( Feel free to do something else with Dorian! He'll be around trying out the different food, and maybe try making some dreamglass. He might also be convinced to try a duel or even some dancing, though that one might be a bit tougher. Or feel free hit me up at usamichan13! ))

Honey Mead

[seemagicshit]

[Don't mind Zhao, he's just enjoying his low grade alcohol. Until he finds the higher proof stuff elsewhere. He eyes the bumble bears.]

Do we deal with it or do we give them something to drink? That's all they want, right?

Meilin "Mei" Lee | Turning Red

[itsgunnabe_mei]

[ Mei is going for a princess look - but also decided to give it some ancestral flair. The Chinese version of Cinderella has golden shoes and talking fish, and a lovely blue outfit! ]

Starfruit Candy and Jam

[ Mei had heard about the special food and curiosity led her here. She picks up one of the starfruit before it can be turned into candy or jam, and makes a little cut in it to see what it's like. She gasps in awe! ]

Whoaaaa! It's like I'm looking at a little galaxy in there! This is so cool!

[ ... But she gets overly excited and squeezes the fruit, which causes the insides to SPLAT onto her glasses. ]

... Usually it takes a cute guy to make me starry-eyed. Ugh.

Flowering Swings

[ Why is this the SECOND time in as many months she's been stuck up in a high place?! But this is way worse than being a lion stuck up a tree in Oz! At least the tree wasn't moving! Mei clings to her swing, terrified, not knowing what to do! ]

How do I get off this crazy thing?! If I jumped off, I'd just become a pretty pancake! HEEEELLLLLP!

Dreamotion Dancing

[ A chance to dance? Mei can never pass that up! Especially when it's a chance to shove 4-town lyrics down everyone's throats! Here come dance moves from the age of the 2000s, pop and lockin' and all that good stuff. ]

I've never met nobody like you!
Had friends, and I've had buddies, it's true!
But they don't turn my tummy the way you do!
I've never met nobody like you!

[ Also, if you're being a wallflower, she's absolutely going to grab your hand and try to pull you into the party! No mercy! ]

Wildcard
[ Make your own prompt! Feel free to hit me up at melcat33 (plurk) or melcat33#1997 (discord) ]

Flowering Swings

[makingmyway]

[ Dorian hadn't really planned on trying any of the flower swings, but the blooming trees were worth at least taking a look, so as it was he happened to be passing by in time to hear the frightened call for help.

He looks around for a moment before looking up. ] Oh! Uh, hold on! [ And he's very glad that he decided to wear his Winged Boots along with the costume. Clicking his heels together, he lifts up into the air until he's level with Meilin on the swing, and holds his arms out to her. ]

Here, I can carry you down. Are you all right?

Loona | Helluva Boss

[666_hellhound_aesthetic]

[I. COSTUMES] A. Fantasy Flair

As far as costumes went, Loona certainly liked to add her own touches. Whether or not her costume was inspired or just exceptionally lazy was entirely up to the person observing, but what was less disputed was that it certainly turned heads at the sight of the red caped woman who made her way casually down the stalls of the faire. Just short of strutting, the hellhound knew that she was owning it.

It looked like little red riding hood had came to join the faire, if little red riding hood had met a rather unfortunate fate. Loona was garbed in the cape, the simple black dress and there was the picnic basket, but that was right where any of the similarities to the original fairy tale ended.

Instead, the entire outfit was shredded, torn apart into just a shade before it became blush-worthy, but enough at least to cover anything that mattered. And a lot more 'red' had been added to little red, splashes of red were splattered throughout her fur, with a bare shoulder bearing a bite mark for extra emphasis on what had happened to the figure Loona now portrayed.

Her make up was streaked and her hair wild and unkempt, one glance was likely enough to tell that maybe the big bad wolf had bitten off more than he could chew if it was Loona he had bumped into.

"Pff. Posers." She clicked her tongue as another more conservatively dressed costumers gaped and quickened their pace on noticing her resting glare on them. So far, all she'd seen were people who wanted spa days at Disneyland in their princess outfits or folks who wanted to look like utter prince ponces.

"Not a slutty catgirl or a lazy-ass anime hobo cosplay in sight..."

Her eyes caught a glimpse of the refreshments, picking up a pupcake and looking it over, she yanked the treat off the top, flicking it up into the air and caught it with a snap, crunching away. Well, if she was going to flaunt what she had, she was at least going to keep going until she found anyone else with a shred of similar taste in outfits, or take whatever prize went going for best costume. Win or otherwise.

She munched the main cake itself, looking around for her next direction as her other hand seemed to take a mind of its own, scooping a bunch more of the cakes into her picnic basket. The thing seemed especially laden with misbegotten confectionary and delicatessen that Loona was either playing very casually off at grabbing or seemed unaware that she was filling the thing up...

In any case, not-so-little red ravaged wolf was here to have fun. One way or another.



[III. FUN & GAMES] A. Leather Bags of Holding.

Arts and crafts were more Blitzø's thing, especially if it involved glitter and horses or some shit.

However, Loona made an exception when it came to anything that could be at all turned to her aesthetic or anything as handy as these haversacks. Thus the Hellhound - still in her rather risque red riding hood garb - found herself leaning in over a workbench and looking at her work in progress.

"This'd be a fuck-ton easier if there was a Voxtube how-to or something to this crap..."

As was, she squinted at the pile of leather pieces assembled - more resembling a springbird's very first attempts at a nest than any clothing currently - and the incredibly intricate guide of instructions that were supposed to assemble into a usable piece of survival gear, a mixture of magicks and modiste that would given even the most proficient leatherworker a run for their money.

"My kingdom for a goddamn Ikea translator..." She muttered and swore some more under her breath as she looked at her efforts so far.

And to be honest, anyone who could make heads or tails of the instructions could see Loona was making some progress - if not a little slowly as she kept taking time out to use scraps to idly make spiked and studded bracelets, the number of which would currently have been enough to see a card gaming protagonist through a weeks wardrobe at least - and sighed.

Her issue certainly wasn't a lack of effort, she was showing more care and attention here than she likely ever had at her desk job, and her studying the grimoire as well as her own instagram clothing shots had gave her enough handle of needle, thread and arcane to at least get a grasp of what she was doing.

Yet, she couldn't help thinking as she cut and sewed and studded of Blitzø for some reason. Thinking of the huge backpack she'd lugged around for him with the IMP emergency supplies, with a seemingly cartoonish level of space inside for their miniature arsenal on the go.

"Why am I even doing this?" To remind her of that? To remind her of Blitzø? Or just the practical benefits of something like this on her random wanderings in this place.

"Hell if I know... only thing I do know?" She pulled a strap tighter, "Is this will look. Sick. As. Fuck. Compared to that raggedy sack of shit before I'm done!"




C. Flower Swings

"..."

"This is so goddamned stupid." Loona spat at herself, looking away from the thing that hung down from the tree branch, rubbing a hand against her head as she looked around instead, trying to ensure she wasn't being watched.

Loona's wanderings had lead her wandering back and forth between the various areas of the faire, and finally found her in front of one of the many trees that had been decorated and now sported a simple - and very flowery - swing that sat empty and inviting.

"Not like it's difficult or... as bad as anything else around this place..."

The hellhound's insides twisted, looking at the thing just seemed to fill her with some kind of unease. It certainly shared the sickly sweet motif of almost everything in this place, but, it wasn't overtly so. And she felt that appeal, just to sit down, take a load off, and just enjoy a moment of peace.

But at the same time, the image was in her head of what she'd look like, her ears dipping inch by inch the guiltier she felt imagining that scenario, "Just kiddy crap..."

But her forehead began to knit, her tail low as she looked at the thing. Why was looking at this thing making her feel like this? And why was it giving her so much internal conflict that a whole half hour had passed of her uneasily standing in this silent battle of wills that was apparently all caused by a single gentle swing?

Off came the little red riding hood cape from her costume as she dropped it on the basket beside her, inching slowly forward and letting her claws slowly grip around one of the braided cords that held the swing in place, looking at the empty seat as she tried to decide something to herself.

"...so goddamned stupid..."

Flower Swings

[sos_pilot]

"Oh, finally, someone normal looking around here!"

Because Loona definitely wanted someone to invade her personal space right about now, surely! Della, dressed as a prince of sorts, practically stuck her entire break into Loona's face, smiling brightly and a tad oblivious to how annoying this would be - ten years on the moon did a number on her social skills.

"It's just humans, humans, and human-like things up the wazoo everywhere! I don't know why all these worlds are so uncreative when it comes to their population. So you're definitely a sight for sore eyes!"

Without really giving Loona a chance to interrupt yet, she then stuck out her hand, eager to get a handshake on and make a new friend because NOW WE ARE FRIENDS FOREVER. "Name's Della Duck! Nice to meet you! And killer costume, there! Totally rocking the hood!"

G'raha Tia | Final Fantasy XIV | OTA

[crystalized_hope]

Let Down Your Hair;

[G'raha wasn't entirely sure what dress requirements there were, but if nothing else, his paladin job stone seemed to work out for this. Normally there was no outfit change, but for the sake of the faire, he came wearing a suit of armor with a white and blue cape to complete the look. His shield and sword, though otherwise sheathed, probably stood out the most. It was hard to miss they glow.

He's doing fine (aside from sweating a little), but from time to time he felt like he was needed somewhere. In one of those moments, he might approach your character hastefully, sword and shield out.]

Have you seen the princess anyway? I have to save her.

[What...princess? He's probably fine. Probably.]

Food Stalls;

[While G'raha is not roaming around, you might be able to find him checking out some of the food stalls.]

In The Clouds;

[These cotton candy clouds seemed interesting. He didn't particularly eat a lot of sweets, but what was the fun of you didn't eat sweets at a faire? Giving the dreamotion clouds a go, his turned out sweet, but not too much.]

Hmm, interesting. [Turning to the person next to him..] what does yours taste like?

[Alternatively, if your character is not participating...]

Would you like some?

Honey Mead;

[Another thing that G'raha did not do very often was drink, but once again (for the sake of the faire), he thought that he would give the honey mead a try. Not too strong, but it had a nice flavor and aroma to it. Apparently he wasn't the only one who thought that. At first the bumble bears didn't bother him, but it didn't take long to have three of them staring at him expectantly.]

Uh... Can I help you with something?

[Whether or not they understood him was unknown to him, but he was starting to feel a little awkward with them just hovering there. Anyone care to help him out?]

Pop-up Bliss;

[It went without saying that the cafe was something he was interested in. He may have had a little bias, considering his girlfriend was taking part in the cafe experience. You might find him hanging around the establishment, keeping Madhuri company.

When not bothering Madhuri, he has opted to check out the Wild Harvest and At Day's End. He had not been to either yet, but recalled his conversation with 76 about the Wild Harvest. This seemed as good of time as any to try it out. No matter where he ends up by the time your character comes along, he'll turn to whomever is closest with a response along the lines of...]

What would you recommend here? This is my first time trying it out.

[Unless -- of course -- it's Lady of Bliss related. If that's the case, he might turn to your character and suggest various sweets that she serves.]

In Stitches;

[A bag that can hold up to three times the physical amount was something that interested him greatly. Not only was he curious as to how it was possible, but also the versatility of the bag. Think of how many books he could carry along with him if he had one.

Positive dreamotion wasn't difficult to come up with. Seeing on the otherhand and making it himself, however... That's where he was struggling. After pricking his finger a few times with the needle and observing the shape the bag so far, he let out a sigh.]

This is harder than it seems. Mayhap it best that I used a pre-made one to customize it?

Wildcard;

[Don't see anything that jumps out at you? Feel free to poke me on plurk (Byefelicia) and I would be happy to plot something else with you. As always, if you are currently playing through the game, the comments may have spoilers for Shadowbringers onward. Please let me know where you are in the story here so I know what I can share. I do not wish to spoil anyone if I can avoid it. I will mark any spoiler tags accordingly in the subject title if it comes up.]

let down your hair

[iracorn]

[Ira is dressed similarly, the silver armour that he received from the last Dreamscape working well to take on the part of a Knight. But his mask remains the same as it ever was.]

Ah, no...I don't believe I've seen a princess anywhere. Yet anyway.

nene yashiro | jibaku shonen hanako-kun | ota

[mermaidcursed]

a. all the kings horses-

( in retrospect, she should have expected the costumes to do something, given that the world was a dream and stories had their influence. but nene is also a simple, sweet girl with a very romantic heart and. well. they had her favorite color.

it was only after she had already donned the light blue dress, decorated with lace and pearls and elaborate embroidery that shined in the sun, that she realized maybe this was a bad idea actually?

... oh well. she looks cute as heck. and there's nothing wrong with being a princess for a day. except someone asks her to dance with them at one point- )

Oh- Oh, I couldn't... I must wait for my prince!

( ... girl what. on the bright side, she seems to realize she said something... off, so uh. excuse her please. no you don't get a choice she's runnin'. )

b. bustling and bumbling (bees, that is)

( food! food food food, food is always really fun. but there's so many amazing options... other than the starfruit jam in her hands, she's not sure what to choose first. turning to someone near by, nene- a sweet princess still- looks up curiously. )

What have you tried so far?

( eventually though, she'll get her hands on some of the mead. which means a bumble-bear is also trying to get into her cup, nuzzling against her as it tries to push past her hand- combined with the giddiness and everything, she's giggling helplessly. lend a hand? )

c. carousal of flowers

( oh there's so much to do! there's so much to do and only a few days and she wants to try so many things, why does time have to pass. unfair, truly. but eventually one may spot her at least at one of the following...

i. at the leather bag stall, humming happily as she works. she's always been good with her hands, clumsy as she is, but sewing has always been a bit of a private favorite. and... uh. as she sews the leather together, it looks like... um. well, a lot of little friends are joining her, actually. rabbits and birds settle around her, alley cats approach with more friendliness, and even her capybara friend and the small school of fish lanterns that have taken to her treehouse are at her side.

yep. she's one of those princesses.

ii. admiring the dream glass, eyes wide and sparkling. ... or is it just the starfruit- anyways, she's a little less proactive for this one. but nene watches as the professionals do their demonstrations, and then as others give it a shot. ... no, she'd probably drop it or something.

iii. at the flower swings, looking not very out of place at all given her costume- even as it starts spinning, nene manages to look graceful for once, laughing as it whirls around. the only thing that would be funner, she thinks, is if they got to jump into a pile of flowers! but she'll also take up residence in a slower swing with some more snacks, and if she spots a friend- yes that's you- she'll wave to have you come join her.

all in all she's having a great time! )

A

[senorita_perfecta]

(Isabela had no idea of what she would dress up as upon arriving at the Faire. But then somebody had a smart idea of getting her to get dressed as a beautiful princess in a white pouffy dress, sparkling jewels, and a pink flower crown.

Okay, granted she has low expectations for costumes coming in, but at least she doesn’t look that bad.)

Oh hey there, you look really amazing today. I bet that a prince will come in at any moment now and be swept off his feet the moment he sees you in your gown. Wait a minute, why did I sound so unusually giddy about meeting princes today?

oriphi | oc

[hearthwarming]

(( Ori will be a dressed like a certain hatter one day to match a certain wizard, in a pink outfit of her own the next, and finally something most princess-like with a flower crown on the third day prior to being abducted by a dragon! ))

1 ✧ pop-up cafe

[ As the gardener happy little helper vigneron for At Day’s End, Ori is helping out with the pop-up cafe from time to time throughout the days of the faire— mostly to get drinks from At Day’s End into people’s hands! She roams about the seating area with a tray full of both kinds of the drink offerings. Folks are welcome to simply take a drink from her tray, but otherwise she approaches and says, with a smile, ]

Would you like to have a drink to enjoy your food with? We have the Azure Omen and the Dawn in the Wildlands drinks for you today…! Oh but, if you’re too young, then it’s just the Dawn in the Wildlands drink for you. But I promise it’s delicious!

2 ✧ flower swings (the relaxing variety)

[ These flower swings look so inviting, don’t they? So much so that the tiefling druid is going to sit in one and swing for just a little bit, but the moment that she does sit down, it becomes clear that she’s actually quite tired, and she gives a long yawn while stretching her arms up before settling into the seat to the same effect.

The back-and-forth motion is so soothing, so she closes her eyes as she continues to swing, and… Falls asleep, despite the liveliness of the faire ensuing around her. ]

Mmm… So… Sleepy…

[ She keeps nodding off, and is likely to fall out of the swing entirely unless she’s woken up… ]

3 ✧ dreamotion dancing

[ Oriphi is more than happy to watch from the sidelines as the performers put on such a dazzling display. There’s a quiet awe in her face as she looks on, and she claps along to all the music. She somehow manages to dodge the performers every time they seem to approach with the intent of pulling people in to dance, but still, she waves her hands to lend a bit of dreamotion now and then, causing flowers to burst and bloom in the hair or on the clothes of anything enjoying a dance, themselves.

(Don’t worry, she can be convinced!) ]

4 ✧ wildcard
(( feel free to leave a starter or hit me up at camerata to plot something! ))

Cafe!

[zomboii]

[ Greetings fellow princess!!

...Is what he'd say with words if he could since Ori was so kind in approaching him. He's sporting a cute dress of his own when she comes by to offer him a drink. He doesn't know that's what she's done, but she looks very enthusiastic about whatever she's talking about. It must be good! ]

Ah...auh.

[ He offers he a smile in return as he points to his ear and shakes his head before signing "I am deaf" proper; and just in case that doesn't work--bam. He busts out a flashcard with the word "deaf" written on it for her and points to himself.

He mimes writing, hoping she'll communicate with him that way if she doesn't know Signing herself. He's been wanting to practice reading in real-time for a while now. ]

Eustace | Granblue Fantasy

[flamekthunder]

[For this portion of the event, Eustace will be dressed like a pirate with the usual extra side cutouts. Does he have an extra on his back? Who knows, it's covered by the cloak he wears.]

⊗ iia: cotton candy thunder clouds

[He's familiar with cotton candy, though using real clouds is actually...rather interesting. He doesn't really linger too long, but thinking of maybe procuring some and share them with certain individuals, Eustace will be at the vendor conjuring up various clouds. Some are very pink and fluffy (three guesses who he's thinking of and with what emotion there), but he'll also tap into one of his specialties: thunder clouds. Fortunately his aren't born from any negative moods and are quite tasty that give a bit of extra crackle and pop. He'd be even willing to give some to any who are interested. So a few little thunder clouds with tiny sparks of lightning crackling around them can be seen hovering around the vendor.

One might get caught by the breeze and start blowing past unawares, so when he hears a distant zap he'll look over in surprise.]

Sorry, were you hit?

[Should anyone do get zapped by a stray little lightning bolt, fortunately it's more like a static shock. Hopefully one wasn't hit in the hair as...well they might look a little frizzy now.]

⊗ iid: starfruit...ice?

[Yet another item he's thinking of making a few of, both the candies and the jam. After having plenty of practice from helping Tifa around, he's doing well enough. Doesn't mean there aren't a few accidents.]

Ah...shit.

[A small swear when he accidentally chills a batch of candy syrup too much, actually freezing it over. He had been using his dreamotion to chill the mixture faster as he wanted to make a few gummies and some harder candies based off the starfruit, but...]

...Could I turn this into some kind of slush or ice cream instead...?

[Sometimes he's successful, other times not. If it's not iced over, it somehow turns into a ice slush or something like ice cream. He might actually try and see if he can do that instead.]

⊗ iiib: dreamglass doggos

[Eustace will be trying both techniques to create quite a number of—you guessed it—dog based glass creations. Some are simple figurines that he's managed to do via the blowpipe, made easier when he just has to imagine it. He's...had a few failures (too big heads, missing tails) that have been set aside to be melted into new glass for another attempt. But there's a nice little row of them, mostly of the corgis and the flower dogs.

At the station, he's attempting to make some little glass jars with pawprints. These are to be later used for the starfruit candies, jam, and ice slush.]

⊗ iiif: axing redcaps

[Although Eustace has mostly recovered from his ordeal from last month, that doesn't mean he can't find some benefit in venting out a bit. Dueling with foam weapons can only get so far, and working on his throwing skills via a weapon he's not so familiar with, an axe, is a good enough challenge. He does well in hitting his targets, but when a few redcaps emerge—]

Watch it, there's one crossing over to your side!

[—Eustace is quick to team up with his opponent to take them down.]

⊗ wildcard

[All other prompts are also open! If you have any other ideas or questions, feel free to contact me via PM, Discord or laenavesse!]

dreamglass doggos

[itsgunnabe_mei]

[ Hot dog, Eustace - how does he get more attractive every time she sees him? There's a "pirate's booty" joke in there that Mei struggles to repress for Tifa (and everyone's) sake! Instead, she approaches all the figurines and let out an impressed whistle. She's wearing a blue dress, which sways back and forth as she rocks back and forth on her feet. ]

Did you really make all of these, Eustace? That's amazing! I didn't know you were awesome at art too!

Sakura Kinomoto l Cardcaptor Sakura

[keystaff]

[ooc: Sakura will be wearing her Prince outfit or at least something very similar. Evidently made to fit her bigger stature now compared to when she was ten or so back with that original Sleeping Beauty play at school in canon.]

I: Costumes:

A: Fantasy Flair:

[Sakura has acted out this part before. But even that was only for a play. And the prince wasn't a role that was one stage for too long. Compared to however long she might be hanging around at the celebrations in costume. Sakura herself might not really notice much if anything that different. Beyond being a little more confident in stepping in to help anyone and everyone, really. If anyone was in trouble.

She claps her hands together, glancing around at everyone in the crowds, just imagining Tomoyo's reaction to this with everyone all dressed up.]

Everyone looks amazing!

B: Runaway Outfits:

[Sakura spots some people being accosted with the swords from the pirate outfits. And of course steps in, drawing her own sword from her Prince outfit. She steps in, stepping in front of whoever might be trying to fend off the swords. Retaliating on instinct with her own with trying to remember the movements she did with Sword back home. Remembering Syaoran's she saw him do.]

Are you okay?

II:

A: Cotton Candy Clouds

[It's Sakura. Of course given she is ever the optimist and the friendliest, sweetest girl unless your name is Touya or sometimes Keroberos. Her cloud is likely to be literally sweet tasting. And probably a pale pink colour akin to the petals of her namesake, the cherry blossoms. She is at least seeming to enjoy this and rather amazed and amused at magic pulling this sort of thing off. It's just such a different use for it than the cards she is used to.]

You want to try it? Ah, can we share? I assume so? It tastes pretty nice!

[She breaks off some of her cloud, handing a little to whoever she might bump into that might be familiar.]

D: Starfruit

It's so pretty.....!!

[Sakura hasn't quite seem food like this before. The way it looks like the stars. It's kind of immediately endearing her to want to try some. Let alone how it actually tastes. For all that she has a sweet tooth. She tries a little, clasping her hands to her cheeks and closing her eyes as she gives a little hum.]

Hanyaaan~~! It's so good too!

III Fun and Games:

A: Bags of Holding

[Sakura already has bags, but they are probably mostly back home. So she endeavors to make or buy another here. She decides to make one not too big but not the smallest either. It takes a bit but she does seem pleased once it is finished. She smiles as she finishes up the last details with it, reminiscent of her school uniform and with her unique magic circle.]

I think that is it!

C: Flower Swings

[Initially it seems fine. Fun. Using the swings. She holds to them, swinging with the others and initially giggling. She enjoys it at first, swinging her legs to help propel the swing back and forth. Sakura is still just a kid after all, for all that she is getting older.]

This is fun!

[Of course that changes with the swings going a bit out of control. She tries to pull out her Flight card, hoping to use that and get down, to help the others.]

Bags of Holding

[pricklybloom]

[ Even though Amy technically has a bag that can hold more than it should, it couldn't hurt to have an extra one, right?

So she finds a backpack that's a decent size for her, decorating it with a simple heart pattern, but also adding a couple of handmade patches. She's taking a break from her own work when she hears someone speak up, and she can't help looking over at the other girl and her bag. ]

Oh wow! That looks really cute!

shirou emiya | fate/

[projections]

i. costumes

[For the Dream faire Shirou's wearing some kind of attire that makes him look like a warrior. He's wearing a red cloak and it's not an outfit he would typically wear. Shirou just kind of grumbles uncomfortable under his breath and clenches his hand into a fist.]

I'm pissed off because I have to wear this for the entire day. I never thought I'd miss wearing my school uniform. At least Sakura's not here to see me dress up like this.

[It would be very embarrassing for him to show up at her doorstep with this get up. So he's actually thankful that she's not in Reverein. ]


ii. festival food

You know, there's a lot of different foods out here. I wanted to try making some of my own. Have you ever had Yakisoba before? It's really good. I'm more used to cooking Japanese meals so that's what I prepared today.

[He hands you a bowl of Yakisoba noodles. Shirou would much rather be cooking himself. He prides himself a lot in his abilities as a chef. So he seems more than confident it'll taste really good. ]

Eat up while it's still hot.

iii. fun and games

[It's been getting easier for Shirou to move around his left arm. He doesn't want to let his injuries get in the way so he insists on doing things despite his current condition. He's equipped with a bow made out of foam.

Shirou carefully releases a shot and sends out some paint if you're hit with it. His accuracy is surprisingly good and he has decent form. Wielding a bow always comes more naturally to him so he doesn't really think much of it. He figures that it might be good to practice a few shots to stay focused in the meantime. ]

Hm, I'm not entirely satisfied with these results but it'll do. I haven't really used the bow much since I quit the archery team. Maybe I just feel out of practice.

[Time to fire more shots. Hopefully you don't get hit with paint.]

Closed to eustace

[projections]

Have you been resting and eating enough? We're at a festival so there should be plenty of things for you to eat that are more filling than left over lunch.

[He feels bad about feeding Eustace left overs but what can you do.]

Don't forget to take care of yourself too. I remembered to walk your dogs last time and no, I didn't do anything weird.

Diluc Ragnvindr | Genshin Impact

[disdelusioned]

A. Wild Bliss, At Day's End

[As the co-owner and primary bartender of At Day's End, Diluc spends a good chunk of the festival behind the pop-up cafe's counter serving drinks. He doesn't mind it much; all of this reminds him of festivals back in Mondstadt. There's a familiarity to all of it that's strangely inviting, even if he's never going to admit as much out loud.

When potential patrons approach the small bar they've set up, Diluc greets them with a polite nod.]

What will it be?


B. Wildcard

(( Want to drag Diluc out from behind the booth and do something specific? Hit me up at asonderiu or asondeiru#9009 so we can plot something! Or just tag me here and we can wing it. Happy to do things either way. ))

for Ori

[disdelusioned]

[Despite how busy Diluc is with assisting the pop-up cafe, he makes it a point to take an afternoon off to wander the faire with Ori. His beloved stars has had a rough go lately, what with everything that happened on that icy mountaintop, and they've both decided that a bit of festivities are undoubtedly in order. She even got him to commission an outfit that both complements hers and is quite similar to a rather meaningful garment he has back home.

To start, they are standing hand-in-hand and staring down the row of food vendors.]

Does anything catch your interest?

[It's the age old couple's dilemma of "what do YOU want for dinner?"]

Venti | Genshin Impact

[concierto]

[ 🍃 a. fantasy flair]

[Venti is wearing a very cute fantasy themed outfit that makes him resemble a fairy. He has a new butterfly-wing-shaped cloak with a large mushroom shaped hat to match. If asked he’ll explain that it’s inspired after Sumeru’s mysterious aranara.

He too is affected by the flair of these costumes and might find himself acting much like an aranara might. Sneaking in to steal something when you’re not looking or playfully appears behind you to tug your ear. Or perhaps he’ll be humming a song, try to play hide and seek with you or ask you to help him collect useless things. ]

Ya-hooo! Hello there! I was wondering if you could do me a simple little favour. I need to collect the petals of six different flowers. Would you care to help me out?

[🍃 b. honey mead]

[It wouldn’t be a festival without Venti getting a little too deep into the drink. Venti is more than happy to have his share and more of the sweet tasting and more alcoholic versions of the offered honey mead. He giggles and reaches up to adjust his big hat as he then takes another sip of the sweet tasting stuff.]

It won’t defeat a bottle of crisp apple dandelion wine, but I could easily get used to this! Eh- [hic!] Ehe!

[It just so happens that one of those curious honeycomb badgers comes wandering along to where Venti is and without a fear in the world Venti simply comes up to it and scratches it affectionately under the chin.]

There there. You can smell the sweet honey too, is it? Ehe! Then why don’t we share!!

[He starts bursting into a fit of drunk giggles once again before he offers his mead to the badger. Goodness, this could go badly… He probably shouldn’t play with wild animals like this.]

[🍃 c. wild bliss pop up café + wildcard]

[When not sampling the drinks and snacks at the pop up café Venti can also be found in the seating area with his trusty wooden lyre. He’s sitting on top of a tabletop with the lyre in hand and he strums notes expertly and sings some special tavern tales.

Feel free to join him in songs, listen or dance to his little impromptu performances. either way all of Venti's songs are upbeat and a joy to listen to.]

B - Venti, no.

[roseofmay]

[Although Beatrix very clearly remembers making an agreement with him for a future time with wine on the menu, this is not exactly what she's pictured. In fact, stumbling across him is mostly accidental, and it's more Beatrix doing as she does best, which is observation.

And she suspects he's going to do something incredibly foolish. He doesn't disappoint her either.

From behind him, at what she feels is a remarkably safe distance, Beatrix clears her throat.]

Leave that creature alone.

[That badger gon' fuck you up, Venti.]

[starshower]

[A spark of inspiration had finally struck Tifa. She'd been wondering what to make at the dreamglass stall for a while, wandering past it a number of times so that she could peer over and see what other people were making. She thought of making jars, and she wonders if maybe that would be a better place to start, but now that it's struck, she has an image in her head of exactly what she wants that now she can't shake it off, no matter how hard she tries to.

So, she takes a seat at one of the tables and tries her hand at the sculpting method first. She was always fairly dexterous, so how hard could it be? Well, harder than she thought, apparently. She's concentrating, trying to mold the shape of a petal in between her fingers when she chances to glance up, and Tifa catches Beatrix wandering past through the corner of her eye.

She had been looking for some friends and some good company while she and Eustace had decided to separate, and she so happens to be one of the very people Tifa had been looking for. And how fortuitous that she should find the woman with such opportune timing.....]

Beatrix! It's good to—oh...! No...

[And as she calls out in a gentle greeting, it dies away with a sad little gasp as the thin petal she'd been trying to sculpt breaks.]

[roseofmay]

[There’s a little irony that she’s making a second trip over to the glass sculpting. She won’t proudly admit that she made anything of value, but she did, for once, decide to stop being so stubborn when it comes to dreamotion. Although it seems her second visit here is not with the intention to make anything, but rather the address of a very sweet and dear friend to her.

It doesn’t take her long to skip whatever was on next on her list of to-do’s (which, honestly, was likely a very typical Beatrix observation) and make her way to Tifa.

At the realisation of what her distraction has caused, she frowns a touch before she leans over to get a better look at the petal. Well, what remains of it, anyway. Is it a flower? She wanted to make something like that, too…]

Oh, apologies. Did I cause that?

[In some minds, it might be considered a gift that a woman can walk by and cause accidents, but this isn’t really the kind of accident she’d like to cause.]

What are you making?
