The Nyaramachi Neko Art Festival
Who: Everyone!
When: The entire month of June
Where: Naramachi
What: Because there's interest in the Nyaramachi Neko Art Festival, here's a log to use for some festival fun. Because this festival runs all through June, people coming in on the training log can absolutely jump in too.
The month-long festival is a must see for fans of cats or anyone looking for some unique fun and a chance to get out and relax. With more than forty establishments participating, there's food, entertainment, shopping, cat cafes, and more. Try your hand at making pottery, or get a makeover in the style of CATS! Adoption events and efforts to catch strays for medical checkups and spaying/neutering are also in full force. Maybe you'll find your own furry friend here, or a gift for the cat lovers in your life, or enjoy some needed R&R.
Picture Purrfect
Local animal adoption groups are working hard all month to find homes for the numerous stray, newborn, and surrendered cats in the area. A few groups are looking for help photographing the cats so adoption websites and flyers can get updated with all the new listings. Perhaps you're an aspiring photographer looking for a chance to show your world your craft. Maybe you're looking for an excuse to take hundreds of cat photos to show your friends. Raise those phones, focus those lenses, because it's time to populate the internet with what they love the most.
Mission Impawsible
Escape and challenge rooms are growing in popularity and an enterprising group is using the festival to launch their newest challenge room! Situated in a small warehouse, groups of up to four people are tasked with putting their stealth, agility, and cunning to the test as they're tasked with "stealing" a rare jade cat statue from a vault. Avoid laser traps, patrolling guards, solve cunning puzzles, and grab the loot and get out in thirty minutes! There's no reward, but the fastest times are listed on the record board.
Pair up with others from the Far Shore and go in as a group! Or join a group of humans and help them through the puzzle. The organization wouldn't turn down volunteers helping out as guards inside the attraction either. Just make sure you don't actually hurt anyone; this is all pretend and for fun.
Fancy Feast
The food scene is booming at the festival as celebrity chefs and guests come to show off their newest food creations for human and cats alike. Rising chefs are battling across the duration of the festival to create gourmet food for cats, restaurants are trying to draw in customers with cat-themed food, and even a famous internet cook and his cats are making an appearance and doing cooking demonstrations. Grab a bite to eat! Join a workshop and learn some new recipes! Try your hand at the many cooking contests going on! Don't forget to buy some food to take home!
Purrloined Possessions
During the festivities, vendors begin grumbling about small items disappearing from their shelves and stands. They're always small, cat-themed items, never anything of high financial value, but the thefts are an annoyance and adding up fast! Is this the work of a pickpocket? Ayakashi latching on to people and encouraging the behavior? A sneaky stray snatching trinkets? Get to the bottom of things!
Buried Treasure
A giant claw machine game shaped like a giant litter box is drawing a lot of attention this year. Pay a small fee, navigate the giant scoop and and see what you pull up! Best thing is you can keep playing until you win a prize! All the prizes are cat-themed in some way; cat plushies, cat toys, cat-themed accessories, the choice is yours. Try your hand and see what wonders you can uncover.
Two for Me, Nyan for You
A mochi stand is running a buy-two-get-one-free special on cat-shaped mochi in a variety of flavors and designs. The problem is with how popular the promotion is, the sweets are going fast! Almost too fast in fact! If you want to buy some, you better get in line fast and hope they don't sell out completely! Or perhaps put your mochi pounding skills to the test and help keep production going!
Unchained Mewlody
A pottery studio and art school are teaming up to offer visitors a chance to make and decorate cat-themed accessories or ceramic figures. Care to paint a statue in honor of your beloved furry friend? Or perhaps a new water dish? Or maybe you want to try something more hands on learn how to make a bowl from scratch. Whatever you wish to do, there are plenty of teachers and volunteers on site ready to assist in your perfect creation.

"Do you want to try and steal a cat statue with me?" Romeo did not know what a challenge room was until just a few minutes ago when he had learned all about them by the poster that was advertising it! But it looked like a really fun activity and a good way to practice teamwork! Perhaps they should have games like that in training days!
"It's just pretend so you don't got to worry about going to jail!" Just in case anyone was worried. Romeo is practically bouncing with excitement, he needs three more people to join his team!
Purloined possessions
"So you didn't see who grabbed the cat hats, miss?" Romeo was interviewing a woman who seemed a little confused at why a small foreign boy was asking her questions about the thefts at her stall. She seemed to be more bothered checking on her merchandise and seemed to often forget Romeo was there, only to realise again as he asked more questions.
But Romeo was determined to get to the bottom of this! He would find the sneaky thief who was stealing things off these nice shop keepers!
Two for Me, Nyan for You
How exactly Romeo had managed to end up helping make mochi is anyones guess, but here he is. He has been transformed, he had found the face painting stall and has his face painted like a cat. Or at least somewhat like a cat. The man who painted it told him the look was from a musical show where people dressed up like cats and sang songs about cats who dance and get reborn. Romeo didn't really understand but he thinks the facepaint is amazing! He's never had his face painted before.
He has made mochi before though, but not this fast and for so many people!
"Hello! How much mochi would you like?"
nyan for you
.. until someone suddenly speaks up. She looks up from her phone, only to spot--
"A cat?!"
It takes a second or two of wide-eyed staring before she realises what she's actually looking at here now she isn't spacing out anymore.
".. Oh, Romeo, it's you. Why are you looking like that?" He sure had her fooled for a second or two.
no subject
"There's a place over there," He waves down the row of stalls, "That painted it for me! It's from a music play!"
no subject
She easily shrugs off the confusion though, especially since Romeo seems so enthusiastic about it.
"Did you ask to look like a cat?"
She didn't know he liked them! But maybe they just picked something for him, who knows.
no subject
"I like it though, it looks really different and fun! I had to sit really really still though for a long time!"
no subject
"Well, yeah, that's kind of how it works." Welcome to something close to the makeup hell girls have to endure, Romeo. "The end result is pretty good though. You're cute as a cat."
The fact that Minako likes cats more than kids definitely helps with that one though. But as far as kids go Romeo was already pretty alright in her book anyway.
no subject
"I can show you where if you want to look like a cat too, miss Minako!"
no subject
She's not too sure about that, hence why her usual enthusiasm is kind of lacking from her answer.
"No, no! If everyone would look like a cat here, then you wouldn't be unique anymore, right? You've got to protect your cute cat identity, Romeo!" (And honestly, she'd probably look kind of ridiculous like that and she really doesn't want to go around looking ridiculous.)
no subject
He grinned at her, "Do you want some mochi then?"
no subject
"Sure. What flavors do you have?"
no subject
There were lots of others but those were the ones right in front of him.

A flurry of activity and then Romeo is handing over a small box of red-bean mochi. He has gotten the hang of this and is very fast at working now!
"I hope they taste really yummy, miss!"
