genessia | Festival of Amore

Welcome to the Festival of Amore!
A wonderful festival dedicated to celebrating love of the romantic nature.

The whole park is decorated in the traditional colors of Valentine's Day, red, white, and various shades of pink. Hearts are the theme and though you won't be turned away, those without a partner to spend the evening with may get a few strange looks or start to feel rather lonely.

Festival Games
There are a number of activities to partake in, including festival games, the most popular of which seems to be the Super Ball Scooping, in which hundreds of balls float around in a pool of water, secretly marked with prizes- mostly goldfish, though there is one hidden that has a special romantic getaway to win! The challenge is that you must use a paper net, so the balls will often break as you try to get them into your bowl. Additionally, the balls are stirred up after each play of three scoops. Other traditional festival games like dart tossing, wack-a-mole, ring toss, and more. However, there is one challenge that you should be aware of for all games. You and your partner must do them together! This means two hands on the ring when you toss it! Hold the paper net steadily together! Good luck!

Food Stalls and the Chocolate Fondue Stream
There are a variety of foods from around the world available at the festival, most of which seem to have some kind of love-related theme to them. Spaghetti for two a la Lady and the Tramp, heart-shaped pizzas, pink french macarons, hearty waffles on a stick, romantic eggs in a basket, Shrimp skewers, and more.

Running through the inner circle of the food stall areas is a small stream raised above the ground with candy and fruit decorations lining it to hide the metal fondue heater that keeps the chocolate within the body of the stream warm and flowing. There are large bins of fruits like strawberries, bananas, rice krispy treat bites, and other fun things to dip in the chocolate river. It's very cute, and very chocolatey.

Paddle Boats
The large pond in the middle of the park has a number of paddle boat swans available for you and your partner to go through a tunnel of love, or simply enjoy the water and get some alone time away from the rest of the party for a good cuddle.

Live Entertainment: Eli Ayase and Nico Yazawa!
The live entertainment will be provided by celebrity idol Nico Yazawa and Eli Ayase tonight! Put your hands together for a special performance filled with their L-O-V-E for everyone! ♥ ♥ ♥ They've got a wonderful set prepared!

Feel free to enjoy the concert either by standing up close or putting down a blanket for you and your bae. Blankets are available for purchase if you forgot yours!

Fortune Telling
Love fortune telling, of course! Find out your romance's future from famed fortune teller Geneva Godiva! She won't give any truly negative fortunes of course, it's a positive occasion, so if your outlook is bleak she might try to phrase it more positively or offer advice to turn things toward the positive. Feel free to pick your own fortune- be it anything from "You might want to see a couples counselor to make it through a rough patch, darlings" or "I see triplets!" or just "Wowie, I can see clearly now- your rain is gone! Looking good for this next year, sweetie pies!" Enjoy and have fun, the accuracy of the reading is up to you, but she won't tell you that a relationship is going to sink at any point. She'll use crystal ball, tarot, whichever- but not seance or anything. It's happy lovey-dovey fortune telling!

End of the Night
The festival itself was timed with the arrival of Genessia's firefly season. The first night of fireflies rising coincides with Valentine's Day this year, so if you stay until the end of the festival, you'll be able to see the fields light up with little glowing bugs. It's a romantic sight, best seen with your partner.

✪ Food Stalls

Martha figured everyone just wanted to go all for the Hearts holiday, what with the crazy hair and all that. Martha? well She remained unchanged and thought she looked quite good thank you very much. Of course, she was going to try everything at the Food Stalls. Martha Jones was nothing if not a foodie. Come bug her.

✪ Concert

Martha really loved music and she didn't get to listen to it as much as she would have liked, so at some point during the evening she can found sitting on a blanket relaxing. She is smiling and dancing her own little dance to the music. Martha even grabbed a glow stick and tried to keep up.

Bits of cyan speckled through Gwen's raven hair, Rhys was on her mind and its showing. But she spots Martha after going to get herself a drink,"I keep missing you it seems!" going for light since tonight is supposed to be fun after all. Between Torchwood and simply finding her way Gwen's been oddly quiet as of late but she's trying.

Martha grinned broadly as she stood to hug Gwen, between Jack and John, and work, Martha didn't have time to think much less see people. She released her after a moment, vowing silently to change that.

"Yeah, sorry about that," Martha admitted quietly. "Between work and JJ, I've been hermiting a bit.

"How are you?"

Martha may have missed out on this version of the Doctor's idea of dancing, but it's a fair bet that whatever unique little dance she's doing, he's taking it farther, with his own, which seems to involve a good bit of flailing. It's certainly energetic, at least, and he doesn't seem to be holding back for fear of looking ridiculous...

His appropriately themed sunglasses and bow tie are a big help, there, too.

Martha spotted Eleven and started laughing. There was no way in this world or any other that she was going to mimic that, but she did start dancing with him.

"Nice look."

The Doctor brightens even more when he spots her, grinning and joining her, not that the dancing gets any better for her sake...

"Martha! Haha, thanks, it is, isn't it. How've you been, then, enjoying the party?"

Martha continued to chuckle because she just couldn't help it. This Doctor was just so cute she couldn't stand it.

"Even more now, Doc," Martha said with a wink.
