θ-10 Come one, come all!

[As soon as the sun as set, Doctor John Smith is up in a grassy area somewhere off near the malt shop, with a peculiar setup before him. But...those who know a thing or two about pyrotechnics will know exactly what he's about to do.]

[He turns his CAT on, a big, broad and excited grin on his face]

Hellooooooooooooo Luministi!!! It's that time of year again, and as always, the Mayor has asked me to kick off the celebration with a little display. [there's a mischievous twinkle in her eye] Not even Soph knows what I've got planned this year, so! I think it's about time I show you!

[He shuts the CAT off, and there is nothing for a few moments...

...but then, there's a high-pitched whine followed by an explosion of colour! One after another, fireworks shoot up into the air, and the good doc has not skimped on them. There are ones that change colors, shoot up into different formations, some that even transform from one shape to another.

The display will go on for a good hour, but while those are going on, the festivities have officially started! Parties in the town square with food, game, and drinking booths will go on. The rides are up in full force. There's even dancing going on in the southern shopping plaza area as well as the botanical gardens. Everything the mayor mentioned and more is there for everyone to partake in.]


[ooc: And here's the party post, everyone! Threadhop and stuff as you want! I'll leave it up to you guys to form threads based on location or event. But have fun! I'll tag in when I can! (And if anyone wants to direct tags to Ten, please say so in the subject line so I can see them!]

[He'll head to the booths later, but for now Hawk's up on a rooftop, watching the fireworks, legs dangling over the side. He's up for company, or being dragged down- but the booths'll be around a bit longer.]

[Although Kon's parents are manning the booth over in the botanical gardens, Kon thought it'd be a pretty good idea if the Talon brewed coffee for some of the other booths too.

He's in the town square, eagerly passing out goodies to those who want some---though if he gets the chance, he's definitely sneaking out. Kon really doesn't want to work here longer than he has to.]

Hello mister doctor smith time to get bothered by your crossdressing brother-in-law

[He said he wouldn't get mad about this, he said he wouldn't get mad about this, he said he wouldn't get mad...]

Oh, of course the people at the Mayor's office would never forget to send out the request for your services to make the town beautiful on this day.

[Where there's food, there's Jamie. Since he's inbetween sets, he's currently taking the opportunity to visit the ice-cream booth the people at the Malt Shop are running - although he seems a wee bit more interested in the cute girl who is working there rather than the food itself. Doesn't mean that he won't take the time to chat with anyone else who's wandering by, though. You just may have to ask him to move if you want ice-cream, that's all.]

[Mu's booth is currently being tended to by one luminescent Kanaya Maryam. The booth has a number of eye-catching jewelry and accessories on display, begging to be examined up close. Meanwhile, Kanaya is watching the festivities float on by from her place behind the counter, perking whenever a potential customer comes near and dimming when they drift away.

Either way, anyone looking for her should be able to pick out her soft glow in the dark.]

[Croix had originally come to the festivities with the girl who mans the ticket counter on weekends at the theatre, but she's flitted off to go do this, that or the other and asked Croix to wait for her in the meanwhile. And to watch her stuff. So, Croix's sitting on a bench near the booths. ... With a purple purse. And a teddy bear. And a bag of popcorn. And a stick of cotton candy. And a balloon.

Anyway point is, he's by himself for now, but he looks content enough. Besides, he has some awesome fireworks to watch while he waits! And he's certainly not against company.]

[Vriska's just here for the free food. And if it's not free, then it's "free" now! Continuing on this free pattern, feel free to run into her, or she'll run into you later. That........ might have been a threat, yeah.]

[Well, his original plan was to grab some food and join in the dancing, but fireworks. ... Wow, fireworks. Those are really distracting.

At least he managed to grab a snack, but now he's wandering aimlessly about in what he hopes is the southern plaza (which is actually in the opposite direction, whoops), attention focused only on the sky.

That will totally end well.]

Hello to her husband!

[fortune_sought]

[Sophie is staring at the sky in surprise] John! How did you manage to set up all this? You never said a word!

[and he isn't usually so good at being mum about his surprises]

[worldsapart]

[Fireworks! Xion isn't surprised at all that her uncle created such a fantastic display; it's just his style, after all, and he always does a good job.

She came down to the festival because she always does. She can never resist the fair food, especially all the ice cream flavors. As usual, she ponders winning herself a stuffed animal in one of the game booths, but, as usual, she decides against it and wanders along, nomming on her ice cream. She figures she'll stay out for an hour or two, then head back home to finish working on her project. She wants to hand them out soon...

So! Have a Xion wandering throughout the festival. She may or may not be paying attention to where she's walking, but she is most definitely going to be found with ice cream in hand.]
