Festival of Amore - Dated 2/14

[genpcs]

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.

Mavis wasn't used to seeing Zeref in this kind of formal outfit. She wasn't about to complain, though. Whatever reason he had to go the extra mile - to show other people he was dating the Guardian or just to make it more romantic for her - she knew he'd done it because he was proud to be out there with her. And that made her the happiest girl at the festival.

It was true too that she had been wishing for another date with him. And this festival was just too perfect an opportunity to pass.

She chuckled at his reply. "Oh, I couldn't hide it from her if I tried. The moment she gets here she's going to smell the chocolate." It did smell so good. "I hope she'll take Mira here so they can have as much fun as us." Though, it might more be Mira taking Erza here. But whatever works.

Mavis shrugged. "Why should we? It's a festival. We can eat things in whatever order we want." She picked a piece of fruit, dipped it into the liquid chocolate and then plopped it into her mouth.

"Mmm..." It tasted as good as she had hoped.

Zeref wasn't used to wearing it, either. Even his Emperor outfit was somewhat loose-fitting, and was designed to be as comfortable as it was impressive. Zeref wasn't used to suits, or tuxedos, but, well, that was the fashion of this world. He could get use to them, for Mavis' sake.

"Fairy Tail must have impressive dental insurance." Or Wendy's and/or Tatlyn's healing magic also works on cavities. Who knew.

He couldn't argue with Mavis' logic; it was a party. Not usually Zeref's thing, but he had already agreed to come here. Why not indulge a bit? He takes a piece of fruit, himself, and dips it into the chocolate, taking a bite. It... did taste good. And he didn't usually have a sweet tooth, especially not by Fairy Tail's standards.

"It's... not bad."
