[WORLD TWO | SUNSU FESTIVAL]
Who: All coven members, and more!
Where: Anmung Tower and about a mile radius from the base of the tower!
When: Day 174
Open/Closed: Open to All
Where: Anmung Tower and about a mile radius from the base of the tower!
When: Day 174
Open/Closed: Open to All
For those coven members who come from worlds with Christmas, Hanukkah, Yule, etc., they'll likely recognize Sunsu as a version of similar holidays. While there aren't any religious over or under tones, there's snow falling, a high level of merriment and cheer all around. That isn't to say Sunsu isn't without a bit of meaning and lore. Certain stalls are focused on a minor history of Sunsu, a holiday stemming from the story of two lovers, Princess Xin and one of her ladies in waiting, who proved to the Princess' father that their love was worthy of marriage by blessing each other with a fabulous gift. Depending on your taste and place in life, Sunsu can be more romantic or more family-based. Sunsu is marketed as a holiday that focuses on blessing and giving to those that you cherish in life, and receiving a blessing or gift symbolizes uniting people together forever. Because of this meaning, there is a certain romanticized overtone to Sunsu, though of course others celebrate in their own way. It's a holiday of togetherness, and everyone in Shehui seems to be in on the holiday spirit. There aren't as many monitors around, the streets around Anmung tower are packed with families, newcomers and couples alike. Are you ready to get into the spirit of the season?
B ▢ Other volunteers are lucky enough to be stuck in stalls where there are at least chairs. Almost anything and everything is being sold in Shehui, and it's your job to push whatever goods you're being hired to peddle. The good news. You get 10-20% commission! The weirder or more ridiculous the item, the higher your commission! C ▢ Others may not even be working. You've been exceptionally naughty and decided to skip out on your Sunsu shopping until the last minute! Whether you're looking for a last minute gift for your Secret Sunsu recipients, or you're being a horrible friend and neglecting those you love until literally the last day, you've still got time to get some gifts! |
As the day goes on, more and more festival decorations are going up -- which this may also be a job you've been roped into! With the sun falling steadily in the sky, the true beauty of Shehui can be seen as night creeps in. As per the request of the lottery winner, almost every structure in Shehui around the Anmung tower, including the famed structure, is illuminated with brilliant, twinkling lights in gold and red colors. Some areas are lit by different colors, like the nearby Huhu Coffee House that's building is wrapped in green lights, while Xi Park is filled with a soft pink variety on trees and fountains. Streamers and banners are hung everywhere, with some offering simple seasons greetings, while others are making passers by aware of sales and wares to be sold.
E ▢ Sunsu is a festival, and what's a festival without drinking? Drinking is actually a pastime that is popular at Sunsu, with local signboards discussing the historical significance of drinking in Shehui a long time ago. (If you're inclined to notice, all historical signboards have a sort of whimsical vagueness about them, as if they're discussing a myth or legend, not actual history). There are three types of traditional alcohol in Shehui that are made on Sunsu. One, a red concoction that is strong, reminiscent of a type of vodka. Two, a clear liquid that has a distinctly almond taste; akin to beer but with no fizz. Three, a pink, champagne-lite that is comparable to a wine cooler -- for you kids and lightweights out there. These drinks are also essentially handed out with very few stalls requiring you pay for them. Some stalls are extremely beer-focused, even promoting drinking contests with cash and gift prizes! F ▢ While not completely close to Anmung tower, Chips! is running a special promotion tonight! All games that aren't table gambling are completely free! If you're an introvert who just wants to DDR the night away, you're welcome to spend your night here, as pathetic as it may be. You're also welcome to escape the Anmung crowds, only to find yourself in a different type of mob inside Chips! -- it's better with a friend, though! G ▢ Closer to the base of Anmung tower, a festival game is taking place. Called XiXi, this game involves receiving a red envelope and finding a person who fits the criteria within that envelope. When you do, take the person to a table and receive a credit prize of 500 and a small basket of pastries and fruit. It's popular with children, but adults are allowed to get in on the fun too -- a lot of people treat it like a mixer. There's also no limit to how many times you can complete the challenge, as long as you don't use the same person twice! These criteria can be physical traits, more embarrassing personal qualifications...anything you can OOCly think of! |
At midnight, the Sunsu event is supposed to culminate in a fireworks show -- and it does! To commemorate the day being over, fireworks of many different colors are being displayed all across Shehui, further illuminating the evening. It's almost as if it's truly daylight again, between the fireworks and Anmung tower.
I ▢ This doesn't last forever, though. About 15 minutes into the show, there's a disruption in the typical fireworks booming, instead replaced with a very large and ominous bang. These explosion sounds continue until there's a decidedly larger explosion sound that appears and feels a lot closer than the others. While there aren't any signs of fire or debris, the Sunsu festival is thrown into chaos. People are running, stores are closing immediately, and inner city speakers are announcing an emergency and for all residents to return to their homes immediately with escorts available if necessary. It's impossible to see what the source of the sound is here, but it's obviously abnormal. Will you help people in the panic? Where are those friends you've spent so much of the night with? What is going on? J ▢ Wildcard! Have another idea for a prompt? Try it out and tag around! |

[The list that 9S has been given is...extensive, to say the least. Some of the names listed on it are practically incomprehensible to him, and he tries to sound a few of them out as he walks, list generated on a screen hovering in front of his face. It's transparent at least, so he can avoid running into people.
It's just that he has no idea what he's looking for]
Maybe if they'd included an image, or a description...
[He frowns, stopping at a corner and scrolling through the list with idle taps at the screen he's projecting. Whatever in the world is a xylophone? It's certainly nothing that he's ever heard of. It must be related to sound in some way, he thinks, but then that's only if Earth's linguistic conventions apply]
A Horse of a [D]ifferent Color
[9S is skeptical about what, exactly, he's looking at. He's seen records of what horses are supposed to look like, though millennia of war with machines has guaranteed he has never seen one for himself. As such when presented with the prospect of a carriage ride, 9S circles around the vehicle and stares at the creature that's supposed to pull it]
How much weight can this thing pull? [He peers around the...horse-like thing...at the carriage driver] I'm...heavier than I look.
[Over twice what a boy of his size and apparent build ought to weigh, in point of fact. But most of them aren't made of various alloys and synthetic materials]
Here to Prov[I]de Support
[The panic swells in an instant, the distant pop of fireworks drowned out by an explosion that's soon followed by screams. People run about, trying to avoid a threat that they can't identify, and the panic does nothing for organization. People of various species rush this way and that, bumping into and knocking one another over.
A little girl drops her stuffed animal, some two-headed fluffy thing with large eyes, and when she halts to collect it someone nearly bowls her over. 9S is faster, scooping the child up with the inhuman grace all YoRHa possess, sidestepping an incredibly tall creature that lumbers by]
You could've been hurt, you kn—
[And then the child starts wailing in a high pitch that makes his auditory sensors thrum, far more shrill than a human voice is capable of, and 9S grimaces. What's he supposed to do now?]
[W]ildcard
[Have another idea? Hit me up here!]
a
That's not how retail works, but...okay. ]
Hm? [ Oh, another weird item. Great. It's not the first one and definitely not the last for today. And there's a tag, too. ] A xylophone? What a weird name for an instrument. Who would want this anyway...
[ Time to put it away...when he notices someone standing nearby, in the corner. The downside of this stall isn't just the peculiar items, but the location is somehow weird as well. It's rather far from the other booths, but maybe it's not such a bad thing, in the end... ]
Excuse me, are you lost?
[ That person has been standing there for a while, so he might as well ask. ]

he invited 9s as soon as he heard about sunsu. another date. and to think that the festival celebrates romance in particular... well, just the idea makes jude warm all over. they've been on dates, of course, but this just feels like a special kind of date, something one of a kind.
he has the gifts he had made 9s prepared, too: a pink beanie, a thick, light pink scarf with a little kitten design sewn into it, and a pair of pink mittens. he had knit things for quite a few of his friends, but 9s' took the longest, because jude needed to get them just right, needed them to be perfect. he knew 9s would be happy if jude gave him mere scraps of yarn, but jude really wanted to surprise him. and perhaps his present won't be useful to 9s; he can regulate his body heat, after all, and he's been walking around in those shorts... in all seriousness, it's a ridiculous combo, but jude's gifts were made with all the care in the world.
so, when jude is all set, carrying his presents in a bag with a big red bow on it, jude jogs toward their designated meeting place, raising his free hand up and waving when he catches sight of 9s in the mob of festival goers. ]
Nines! Over here!

it helps that the child's wailing is loud and shrill enough to get her attention. A2 drops down nearby and grits her teeth, scooping up the toy just in time to save it from getting stepped on. ]
Here, [ it's just loud enough to be heard above the crying as she places the toy in the child's waiting arms, who immediately quiets down just enough to spare 9S' auditory sensors. to him, she asks: ] You okay?

[ It's not that Mio meant to wait until the last minute. He's just been..distracted, that's all. But at least he's getting it done? He knows just what he's looking for, it's just a matter of finding it. He's carrying a basket along with him too, filled with fresh baked cookies in case he runs into anyone he knows! See, he's multitasking.
Eventually he finds it, the perfect gift for his Secret Sunsu recipients. He clasps his hands together excitedly. ] This is just what I wanted to find! Ahh, now I need to pick which ones... [ He looks through the options and then spots someone nearby. ] Hey, you. Which one do you like? [ They're capes. With animal ears on them. He's pointing between a cat one and a bunny one. ]
D) Trying to have some fun
[ Mio is hanging around the soft pink lights in Xi Park, kind of scuffing his feet against the ground. He knows there's fun things to do, but he has no one to do them with. With a sigh, he's about to give up altogether when he sees someone else who doesn't happen to be doing much. ]
Hey! [ He calls them over, waving. But oh, gotta play this cool. He's not lonely or anything! ] You look like you're alone. I will offer you my company for the festivities! Look there! [ he points past them at the street. ] There's a horse and carriage waiting for us!
[ He turns back to this new company. Pretty please? ]
G) You look like...
[ Of course, being a kid, he easily gets involved with a game of XiXi. He wants to experience everything at this festival and forget about having the blues! So he opens up his red envelope and reads over the contents before he goes searching for just the right person.
When he spots a potential candidate, he runs over in a flurry of lacy robes and reaches out to either grab onto your arm, or full on hug his arms around you. ] You! You are my prisoner now!

Just as the thought crosses his mind, he hears a familiar voice from close by, drawing him out of his stupor. At first, Noctis isn't sure if he's the one being addressed, his eyes quickly scanning either side of himself before pointing to his own chest. ]
Uh... sure you don't want to rethink those?
[ Unless he plans on giving them to kids. Or people who are just into that sort of dressing up. He's trying hard not to judge here. ]

( Okay, well it's not like he didn't already do all of his shopping -- sort of! Emil got 80% of it done a day or so ago, but he's still looking for last minute small things. It also makes him feel better and fully grounded in the holiday, not just a casual observer in this foreign place that celebrates foreign lesbians in a way he doesn't fully understand.
While Emil isn't usually one to put weight into the opinion of others when it comes to taste, it's also hard to branch out ICly if he's just shopping and minding his own business, sooooooo: )
Can I ask you something? ( This may be how you feel about a certain item or just an opinion in general; spin the wheel. )
e
( Once the distraction of buying gifts wears off, Emil still feels a clunky pit of negativity residing in the bottom of his stomach. For as unsavory as he once thought alcohol was, his last experience with it wasn't at all unpleasant, although a little foggy in places. The trick is drinking just enough to not really care about how disgusting it tastes.
Since Shehui is essentially just giving the stuff out on Sunsu...well, he can't help but indulge a little. He got handed one of the red bottles but quickly found a garbage can to toss that into -- it was a little too much like that fermented shrine booze, and he's in a paradise city. There has to be something better! He's settled for the almond-tasting, clear liquid that's being handed out in clear bottles. It also won't stain his clothes at all if another bustling street person runs into him; that mistake was almost made with that red mess.
It's easier to rest his feet and sit down away from the noisy crowds for a moment. Usually Emil doesn't mind the fuss, but sipping on one of these alone sounds good -- for now. )
d; closed to cr
( Being alone and inebriated doesn't last very long. While Emil isn't exactly a quiet introvert, being buzzed makes him feel slightly more unfiltered and uninhibited than usual. There's no hidden attempt to try and look good or be impressive, he's just goofy and inquisitive and won't shut up.
It's perhaps an easier pill to swallow if you know him -- and look! He found a friend (you) wandering out in the festival with him! The difference is noticeable, as Emil gushes about anything he finds interesting. )
What are they doing? ( He's asking this about a crowd of people gathered around a rectangular, enclosed space on the street; he doesn't recognize this as a photo booth. ) What is that? Something fun?
( let's do a fun thing, friend!!! )
h/potentially i;
( After a few hours with no alcohol intake and a sharp need to get out of the house, Emil isn't much for walking and dealing with pushing through the crowds at this point. There are so many parks and open areas in Shehui, it's easy enough to find a park to lay down in -- and he doesn't look like some homeless bum when he does it because everyone is doing it! Bonus points.
Of course he'll get up and make his way home once it sounds like the place is exploding, but he also wouldn't say no to company in the meantime. )
e...? or out of time
Unfortunately, he can't quiet his stubborn ways enough to bring himself to speak first. He'll just lightly tap at Emil's leg with his toes and gown another gulp.]

he is, indeed, examining a menu. it's more morbid curiosity, and roy isn't entirely sure if he's going to buy anything. the language is a bit foreign to him (almost like xing), and roy is definitely more of a whiskey-on-the-rocks guy versus whatever this is, but the curiosity is beginning to kill him, and then he hears -- ]
I don't think this constitutes drinking on the job, considering we aren't in Amestris.
[ mildly, and roy turns to riza, eyes bright, amused, and he inclines his head toward the backdrop of bottles against the back of the bar. ]
Purple, red, yellow, or blue?

[ roy quietly enjoys christmas, a great deal. he is, by no stretch of the imagination, extra about the business, but setting aside a quiet time of year to be grateful for what you have and spend time with the people you care about sounds like a fairly excellent way to end the year.
he doesn't have an outrageous amount of money, though, and he's quietly missing his alchemist bank account from home -- but he does have enough to explore the markets and see if he can find anything for the . . . three people in this world he'd bother buying gifts for. catch him perusing books, or little trinkets! he's mostly just poking around out of curiosity. ]
( D )
[ the first thought roy has, in seeing these . . . creatures, is chimera. and he knows, logically, that that's impossible here (and even forbidden, apparently, as this city would likely view alchemy as some sort of magical voodoo, no matter how many explanations roy gives them.
so if you wish to try and cajole roy into a horse carriage ride, try your best. but he is definitely just kind of watching the entire affair looking . . . not uneasy, necessarily, but definitely not jumping to go on a carriage ride. ]
( H )
[ roy can be found underneath a tree, to watch the fireworks, his arms crossed and eyes fixated on the skies. there's a pretty high probability that the folks from his ragtag little family from amestris is lingering around somewhere, as that's definitely who he would find for the end of the evening -- but you can catch him by himself, enjoying a moment of peace, to watch the spectacle that is the exploding firecrackers from above. ]
( I )
[ roy works well in crisis, and to his credit, he doesn't look panicked or disturbed by the sudden immersion into chaos. he is directing people into shelters, quickly moving throughout the streets, and navigating to where he needs to be. if you are a person in a panic, he is there, speaking calmly, with a hand on your arm: ]
Stay with me, and you'll be fine. Don't panic, keep moving. You're going to be fine.
[ but if you aren't panicking, and you seem to be helping people to safety, expect a much more militaristic bark, as he's shuffling civilians into a nearby building: ]
Get people inside, direct them to their homes, and keep moving!
( C )
he could have guessed that much about himself without ever having set foot in a human shopping district, but now that Geir's visited a couple of cities with the coven, he's also discovered a distinct taste for people watching. even when he doesn't want or need anything, it's fascinating to drape himself over a public monument or along the side of an open square and see what all the humans are doing. sometimes, he'll even greet someone or comment on what's happening within his field of vision.
that's why he calls out when he sees a merchant flag Roy down in front of him... a merchant who owns a stall that Geir's very aware sells overpriced trinkets, cheaply plated with precious metals instead of the genuine article.]

[It's not that Dia is BAD at secret santa or buying gifts for her friends! It's just that she has picked up a lot of extra shifts at the cafe she is working and has been going to group idol practice during the evenings!
So you may catch her in a store, perusing the items and picking a few things up cautiously.]
... Hm, I wonder.
D) Closed to CR.
[Dia is contemplating the photo booths pretty heavily. They always have cute ones like this at home, and maybe...it would be fun to get pictures with her friends. Maybe acquaintances too?
So maybe just a tad awkwardly, if she sees anyone she knows:]
Do you think you would mind if I took a few moments of your time?
[And maybe if she is more familiar with you:]
Do you want to use this photo booth together?
H) Fireworks.
[And at the end of the night... the fireworks. Dia will turn to you whether she knows you or not.]
They're beautiful, aren't they?
WILDCARD

[ chika's smile is as wide as ever, and before dia can even blink she's ushering them both into the photo booth. ]
It looks like we can choose some special effects first...
[ there are hearts, stars, sparkles, kittens. everything cute imaginable. chika has no idea where to start. ]
Hmmm... What do you think?

[Whether she knows you well or not, Haru is going to politely ask the first person she sees on the way to the photo booths.]
Do you want to take some photos? It'll be fun! They have all sorts of silly props and frames for us to choose from!
[Creating memories was a good first step for new and old friendship!]
E)
[Haru is holding a wine cooler, but she isn't drinking it by any means. She remembers what happened the last time she was told to drink a strange liquid at a party/festival, and she is not about to have that happen to her again.
If someone happens to be passing by?]
I'm sorry to impose, but, do you want this?
[The wine cooler that is.] I'm not really a fan of the taste.
I)
[And with the terror and panic starting to settle in, Haru wishes she had the ability to use her Persona. She could protect people better than this.
In the meantime Haru can be found helping civilians to their homes, trying to not use her magic in the process. Things would be so much easier if it weren't against the rules.]
This way, please! Stay calm, I am here to help you return home safe!
[She DOES look like she could use some help wrangling people back in the right direction.]

Sorry, but I had enough just a little earlier. We don't want a repeat of what happened last time, do we?

in fact, he's just gonna go ahead and stand off to the side, idly munching on some standard festival snack like idk a candied apple or whatever, doing his best to pointedly be here while also not partaking in or enjoying a single part of it. suck it, jude and daichi.
aka sorry this is your standard HE'S HERE, BUT HE'S A GRUMPY LOSER, PLEASE COME BOTHER HIM... spill your drink on him... knock his apple out of his hand... pretend he's your boyfriend to shake off some aggressive pursuer... drag him into a photo booth because even when he's miserable he's photogenic... etc... ]

Procrastination it wasn't. It was working in the bookshop long enough to have enough money to buy presents. Waver had found that while the pay was more lucrative for other jobs in the city, he was happiest just putting away books and then doing inventory. It was harder to save up, but worth it.
It was why he walked through the markets examining everything's price carefully. It was why he glared at those hawking goods when they became aggressive and made a point to ignore them, up until they were impossible to ignore.
"For the love of...I'm still looking stop trying to force me to buy your stuff, especially since I can get it cheaper over there!"
G
[Apparently one of the repeated XiXi prompts is to find someone who looks grumpy. Waver, perpetually sour faced, has already gotten dragged over to the table several times over, and the next person to stops him gets a loud groan.]
Please don't tell me you also have a red envelope.
I
Shit!
[Waver's first reaction to the explosion isn't creative. It's instinct, pure and simple, and he looks around wildly to try and find the direction that it came from so he can move in thhe opposite direction of it.]
What the hell just made that noise?!

[Most of her gift shopping has been done, but it's only now that Yuna's actually hearing about the history of the holiday, and it makes her chest ache in a way she can't completely describe.
So she's strolling about here and there, her expression strangely scrunched, picking up scarves and ribbons and jewelry in shades of blue, blue, blue; she looks at chocolates, and cookbooks, and phone charms, and misses her Hero Club worse than she has in a long long time, and misses Togo.
...she's not quite making the connection from this to the story about girls falling in love with each other, but, you know,]
D
Hey, hey!
[...Is she talking to you? She's definitely talking to you. All shiny eyes and good cheer, Yuna waves at anyone who'll make eye contact with her, and maybe also some people who won't? She's real excited and very social.
She waves, then gestures to the nearby photobooth.]
Come take some pictures with me!
G
[Not that Yuna isn't always having the time of her life, if that constant delighted enthusiasm in everything she does is anything to go by, but she is having the time of her life playing XiXi. She's running around with a big bright smile and one red envelope after another, letting the little kids playing the game take her hand and bring her to the table, crouching to their eye level with light in her expression when they match the criteria on her envelope, and just as eagerly playing the game with adults or teens closer to her age.
Unless you get to her first, just as eagerly, she'll run up to you, presenting a red envelope in front of her.]
Excuse me! Do you have a minute?
I
This way, this way! I'll help you, you'll be okay!
[For someone so small and giggly, Yuna becomes a surprisingly commanding presence the moment the panic sets in. The mission of the Hero Club is to help those who need it. That doesn't stop now.
Like this, though, there's only so much she can do, and—no magic, she gets it, she's heard and been told and been careful, but what else is she supposed to do? She hefts a woman who's tripped onto one shoulder and someone's grandpa onto another and runs to safety with them like they weigh nothing because they don't; she goes back and manages to scoop three children in her arms and her biggest struggle is seeing around them.
Try not to look too panicked or fall down because she may very well try to pick you up next??]

[feel free to find Yuna throughout the festival, being her usual overly-social and chipper self!! i can be PMed or hit up at

[she pauses for a moment from examining a box of chocolates to offer Yuna a friendly smile.]
Still gift shopping, too?

[Geir spent a while at the festival, and thoroughly enjoyed himself. giving most of his gifts in the morning ended up being a lot of fun; he ate and drank whatever he wanted at the festival, and actually ended up coming out ahead in credits out of it (don't start a drinking contest for prizes with a dragon); and now, he's flopped out grandly on a hill in the park where he's spent quite a bit of time over the last few weeks, enjoying the reflection of the fireworks on his scales and the snow. the heat of his body is more than enough to keep him and anyone standing close by him warm, and the view is beautiful. he's not even a little tired of fireworks displays yet. what could be better?
if anyone wanted to find him before the end of the festival and tie up any holiday loose ends, now would be a good chance. if anyone else planned to have that hill all to themselves... bad luck. he might leave if someone asks nicely?]
I (closed to CR)
[the peaceful scene is as shattered for Geir as it is for everyone else, but with no crowds around him and the ability to fly, his reaction isn't to help those nearby or run for some kind of cover. it's to roar back at the noise, a tooth-baring ground-shaking bellow, and crouch down as he spreads his wings for takeoff.]
What the-- c'mon! Let's get over there!
[what will meet them remains to be seen, but Geir is willing to find out.]

[ Unlike some others, Jun is merely working the counter at a bookstore this holiday! There for any and all book and coffee needs, and able to assist any personal shoppers trying to find a particular item. For those who are obviously struggling with their list, he's particularly sympathetic. ]
That tough, huh? Need help?
D/H
[ After a busy day at work raking in that sweet sweet holiday cash, Jun's finally got some time to check out the festival for himself. With all the obvious pair-ups and groups of friends milling about though, he's a little ill at ease. Ultimately he opts to turn for home once the fireworks are about to start, literally setting himself apart from the crowd. It's easy enough to catch him on the way. ]
oh hell yea it's fireworks
No way, sir. None of this.]

It's just hard not to let his mind wander as he looks up at the night sky, waiting for the fireworks to start. His eyes are hazy and wet, and he feels his head spinning around as the alcohol starts to kick in full force, but he's doing his best not to really move around a lot, just soak in the elation as he watches the starts twinkle so bright, thinks of better memories.
Earlier. Trying to out-eat each other at one of the food stands. Making faces at the picture booth. Snow ball fights in the park nearby. It's something he wishes the others could share in, but at the same time, he hasn't gotten much quality time with his best friend since they left Insomnia, not since that talk on the hotel roof top. It's kind of nice getting to spend time together like they used to when they were teens. ]
Yeah, better than I thought.
[ The words are managed without any slur even while Noctis' vision fuzzes at the edges, and his head feels ever so heavy as it lolls to one side. ]
