Who: Everyone!
What: Tanabata Festival
When: All day July 5
Where: The Near Shore
Summary: The Heavens are throwing a party and you're invited!
Edit: OVERFLOW is here!

With Tanabata drawing close, the Heavens have decided that there is nothing wrong with a little celebration for the annual occasion. So they have invited everyone on the Far Shore as well as a large number of people from the Near Shore to attend a festival for Tanabata. Tanabata festivals are not uncommon in this area, so the Near Shore residents are none the wiser, though some of them are a little uncertain about where this street they've never heard of popped up from...
Tanabata is a festival held to celebrate the one time a year that the lovers Orihime and Hikoboshi can meet across the vast expanse of the Milky Way. Many birds have been working their tail feathers off to create a bridge for the two lovebirds and that bridge - perhaps unsurprisingly - touches down on this street, in the middle of the festival.
The Heavens have prepared entertainment, food stalls, and as many tanzaku as might be needed for everyone to write down wishes, along with plenty of bamboo stalks to hang the wishes from.
New arrivals will find themselves ushered to the festival and offered traditional clothing after their normal briefing at the Meeting Hall.

New arrivals will find themselves ushered to the festival and offered traditional clothing after their normal briefing at the Meeting Hall.

Stalls
- There are festival stalls of every kind present, all run by shinki dressed in white robes and bearing the golden chrysanthemum of Amaterasu. Many of them seem a little bruised still, but they are happy to smile for anyone who comes to the stall they are running. There is food, games, and drinks available of all kinds, so feel free to roam around to your heart's content sampling everything that you can.
Performance
- A large stage has been erected at one end of the festival street. The Heavens know that there are many talented gods and shinki present, so they are more than willing to clear spots in the scheduling for those people to perform. Anytime a Far Shore resident isn't on stage, there are plenty of Near Shore acts to go on, ranging the gambit from traditional music and instruments all the way to a rock band that has somehow found themselves here for the celebration.
Wishes
- Pieces of paper called tanzaku have been strewn about a number of bamboo shoots all over the festival. There are brightly colored decorations on the bamboo and the papers themselves exist in every color of the rainbow as well. Attendees are encouraged to write down any wishes they may have and hang them from the bamboo, a normal Tanabata tradition. Wishes can range from 'I want a soda' to 'World peace' and anything in between. Obviously, some of these wishes may not be able to be granted during the time of the festival, but gods and shinki alike are encouraged to answer any wishes they can as well.
NOTE: Please report any wishes your characters answers to the first comment on this post along with a link to where the wish is answered. There will be small bonuses awarded for answered wishes.
The Bridge
- As stated previously, the bridge that will allow Orihime to meet her lover touches down in the very center of the festival's street. It may be made of tiny pieces, but the bridge itself is sturdy. While it may not be able to take just anyone who sets foot on it across the Milky Way, you are allowed to walk along the bridge yourself, though you will always find yourself turned around after a short time and heading back towards where you stepped on. Lovers in particular are encouraged to walk the bridge together to deepen their bonds, but be cautioned! If you walk onto the bridge with someone, you might start feeling affectionately towards them even if they are your sworn enemy! Such is the power of love on this day.

In Summary:
- Enjoy the festival
- Watch some quality entertainment
- Make and/or answer wishes
- Meet Orihime
- Traverse the bridge
- Have fun~

Another shaved ice, or another yukata? [An important distinction, for sure. She looks back at him fully, just shaking her head. Nope, she's too nice to let him go feeling bad for it]
It's fine, really. It was just an accident. [She sighs a little and attempts to lighten the mood again] And there was only one casualty, so it went well enough, right?
no subject
[Wait a minute.]
Actually, I got an idea. Do you think this yukata will fit you?
[He does a slow turn with his arms outstretched. It's a men's yukata but someone could probably adjust it to work.]
no subject
But then what would you wear? [She looks uncertain; while she doesn't think she'd really mind taking it, she doesn't want him running around in his underwear or something. Surely he's got something as back-up, right??]
no subject
[The fact he is not wearing a hat does not deter him.]
It's the least I can do.
no subject
I... Suppose so. [She frowns down at her yukata and the shaved ice again before turning to scan the people and stalls.]
There's probably somewhere I can change near-by. [Oh, right, uh--] My name is Yuri, by the way.
[She can remember manners, she swears.]
no subject
[Man, bad first impressions with a cute girl. The least he can do is make amends.]
Okay, there's a stall over there with costumes that should have a changing room.
I'll get changed first then I'll come out and give you a yukata.
no subject
She's curious still as to what he could possibly be changing into, so she'd probably follow along even if that were the only reason.]
At least this festival is pretty tame. [A pause and then a belated, cynical:] So far.
no subject
[Far less cynical.]
I hope I'm the worst thing that happens to you today. Luckily though I've decided I might as well fix some things while I'm here. Maybe grant some wishes later if they're within my power.
[Easy stuff. Like finding things or getting things. He can't work miracles.
Well, he can't work most miracles.]
Wait right here, I'll be right out.
[He slips by people browsing at the shop and ducks into the first empty stall. A few moments later she might catch a light blue/green glow come from the stall.
Moments after it fades, Shuusei comes back out. His yukata is folded over his arm. Meanwhile he is standing there wearing an exact copy of the one he's offering her.
He offers up the yukata but no explanation of how he got dressed so fast.]
Okay, here you are! I haven't ran around with it much so it should be almost as good as new.
no subject
Wait-- What? How did-- [She looks between the yukata in her arms and the one he's wearing a few times. Was he wearing a second, identical yukata underneath that one or something?] And that light...?
[She frowns at him. Where are the answers.]
no subject
It might be easier to explain it as being magic.
[Less details and apparently some shinki can do magic.]
no subject
She gives him another puzzled frown--she doesn't have the full answer, she can tell, and she's finding she really doesn't like that--before slipping into the dressing room. Since she has to actually change like a normal person, it takes her longer, and when she shuffles out it's with a small degree of embarrassment.
The yukata doesn't fit her too terribly, but she's holding her hand against the front to keep it closed, her other hand keeping the obi together behind her.]
...I can't tie this on my own. [She wants to die of embarrassment just let her expire here.]
no subject
[Because he does not want to tell her what exactly is going on while he is still in public.
He waits on her to get dressed and when he comes out he's really tempted to tease her about it. He doesn't though as this is his fault after all.]
I got it.
[His new yukata even moves easier than the old one. He seems far less stiff in it. He moves around behind her to help her tie it.]
Let me know how tight.
Moving around
