Attleton Fundraiser Fair (backdated to Saturday, 26th)

[captain_by_the_book]

Attleton may not have a beach but thanks to its determined mayor, it has recently gained one very important feature no beach town should have to do without: It has a boardwalk.

And what a magnificent boardwalk it is! It is made of wood and properly raised to protect the tender feet of strolling visitors from all that non-existent water. Openings for stores and restaurants line the boardwalk, but today they are taking the backseat while a different event has sprawled over all that open space. Large banners and signs everywhere welcome visitors to the Attleton Neighborhood Watch's Fundraiser Fair - celebrate Attleton and support the Neighborhood Watch!

A large number of booths is crowding the boardwalk, and since there is no actual beach on either side of it, the festivities are sprawling out from the boardwalk proper into the surrounding landscape.

Before you even climb the stairs of the walkway to the boardwalk proper, you will be passing by archery and fire magic displays, which had to be put at a distance from the other activities to ensure everyone's safety, while on the boardwalk itself tables have been set up at which you can buy Attleton's famous apple pie or lovingly crocheted lace doilies. Maybe you would rather try your luck throwing rings or knocking down tin cans with balls? Small prizes of toys and Attleton souveniers await the lucky winners.

Even other towns are represented, impressive displays by the Nova City Museum and Planetarium will provide for those who hunger more for scientific knowledge than snacks, while Fayren's famous Fairy Tail is wowing the crowd with their illusion magic.

A small merry-go-round has drawn a crowd of children eager for their turn, while more are gathered by the Guardian Office's stall - a cleared area where a dozen or so pokemon frolic around and some even let themselves be petted with long-suffering patience. But if you're looking for petting, nothing beats the Puppy Prison's contribution just a little further along - more puppies than in your wildest dreams, cuter than you can believe.


[OOC: Feel free to make a top-level for your booth/stall/activity - even if you didn't respond to Cassian's volunteers wanted post, you can just go ahead and handwave that they volunteered. Or make a top-level as a visitor to the fair, and tag other people. Basically, just go wild with this and have fun! (And donate generously to the Neighborhood Watch!)]

Attleton Guardian Office's booth

[captain_by_the_book]

[ Pokemon! Pokemon everywhere! There are a few pokemon giving little displays of their fighting prowess every half hour, while most of them are just mingling with the visitors by the pokemon playground, looking cute and harmless and letting themselves petted more or less graciously. There is also an info booth where you can get all your brochures on personal safety, the beginner self-defense classes (and enroll as teacher or student) or just mooch some free candy, courtesy of your Guardian's Office.

Cassian himself drops by the booth every now and then for a chat with the populace, though he spends most of his time patrolling the boardwalk, keeping an eye on the crowd. He knows he can trust his Deputies and Mobius to handle the stall. ]

This boy is LIVING

[spoiledbugboy]

[Haga heard about the fundraiser fair in passing, and was actually pondering about whether or not to go, when he heard that Pokémon would be there. Ever since he arrived he was extra curious about those, so he imagined that was the perfect opportunity to take a peek at some of them a little closer.

When he arrives at the boardwalk he pretty much makes a bee-line - no pun intended - to the area near the Guardian Office's booth, eyes almost sparkling behind his glasses as he sees the Pokemon and people there mingling, and some of those colorful creatures showing off their skills, and it's all really exciting and new and... Wait, is that a huge caterpillar? It is! He didn't know there were bug shaped Pokémon!

He's all smiles when he approaches the large insect, but he's a little afraid of extending a hand to it. Handling regular insects is one thing. He doesn't know how to approach these, and better than anyone he knows how certain insects can be vicious if not approached with care. And caterpillars specially can be very dangerous, specially when they look very fancy.

The Larvesta acknowledges him though, and gives him a curious look, as if trying to understand why the boy is just... standing there awestruck while staring at it.]

Awesome... [He says pretty much to himself. Care to help him out of his clear trance and teach him stuff about Pokémon? He'll appreciate it!]

[captain_by_the_book]

Do you like him?

[ It sure does look like the boy is utterly awe-struck by Kay's fire bug and Cassian can't help being amused by it. As far as he's concerned Larvesta is a pest, always setting things on fire at home, though a charming enough pest. ]

I didn't expect Mustafar to be getting any attention here. Most people don't like bug pokemon all that much.

[hamusukethewise]

[ Hamusuke has her rodent Pokémon with her. They want to befriend and/or battle others.
They also allow people to pet them.

Hamusuke is also getting petted. She doesn't mind, because it generally feels good. It's annoying when small children tug at her fur, but she doesn't lose her temper.]

[captain_by_the_book]

[ Cassian approaches her, gently but firmly shooing away a kid who is yanking too hard at Hamusuke's fur. ]

Thank you for dropping by. I think you've just replaced the pokemon as everyone's favorite... sorry about that.

[fairysoul]

[Mavis is following yet another cute Pokémon as she finds herself by the Guardian's Office booth and almost bumping into Cassian. Every time they meet in person, she's reminded of how tall he is compare to hair.

She bows slightly in greeting.] Hi, Cassian! The fair is truly wonderful! Thank you for organizing this again!

[captain_by_the_book]

[ Cassian doesn't bow but he does incline his head respectfully. There's amusement shining in his dark eyes. ]

Guardian Vermillion... I believe it's a miracle, we are actually talking without a crisis at hand... or an embarrassing accidental video.

[ He clears his throat, picking up a tray of cookies to offer them to her. ] No tea, I'm afraid, but we do have dessert? Are you enjoying yourself, Mavis?

KISSING BOOTH | OPEN

[mother_of_monsters]

[Option A) Dray didn't mention this to Cassian but he decided to help in his own way and set up a kissing booth. He also accepts having his ears petted, if smooching an anthropomorphic cat is not your thing.

Option B | Start your own thread) Are you volunteer, aka, you got roped into helping by Dray? Don't be shy and pucker up for the clients. And remember, it's a for a good cause!


Rome rules:

- The person you want to kiss is able to reject you if they don't want to do it. You get your money back and that's it.
- Underage characters get a kiss on the cheek or the forehead.
- Be respectful. if Dray catches anybody being inappropriate to the kissers, he will kick them out. Don't anger someone who has claws, fangs and consent issues guys.

Come get a kiss from a Disney princess | OTA

[lovesopendoors]

[So, Anna gets all excited as soon as she sees the kissing booth. That's so cute! It's super easy to get her to help, she'll gladly help with this or anything else that she can do here really.

And once she is in the booth and waiting for anything to happen... Well, she's excited and nervous and there are so many feelings going through her at the same time. Do her braids look okay? What about her dress? Face? Why is she blushing??? You know what, she probably shouldn't grin at people like the sheepish dork that she feels like she is right now, what if that just makes them walk away?

Anna looks cheerful and friendly there most of the time. She's smiling a lot, puckering her lips and giggling and/or waving at anyone who seems to be looking into this direction.

Come get a kiss? She might be a bit shy with kisses on lips, first one of those will literally be her first kiss ever but she has no problem with those. And she'll gladly kiss on cheek or forehead too if lips on lips isn't your thing or you're underage. She's 18 by the way.

Whenever someone walks in or close enough so that it seems like they are not busy with anything else and might consider this booth, Anna beams with a smile at them.]

Hello! My name's Anna, would you like a kiss?

[Better than how may she help you or how may she kiss you...]

[inthedriversseat]

[ A kissing booth? Who could possibly turn that down, especially when you get asked like that?

Mikaela stops by the booth, flashing Anna a grin and a wink. ]

Well, if you're asking me like that...

[ She's just gonna go for a peck on the cheek, but still. ]

[quick_clean_pure]

[Graverobber's just checking the whole setup out, wandering among the booths, when he recognizes a familiar face from the various posts.]

Hey there, Dray.

[truesmiles]

[Fai figured he would help in his own way. So by the booth, he was, giving a small wave.]

Hello, fluffy. Can I ask a question?

Game Booth | Open

[gamerrep]

A
[Chiaki had spoken about games for this thing and she had managed to find a few games for people to try out. The games were as follows:

Ring Toss: Throwing rings over targets to win a prize
Duck Pond: A pool filled with rubber ducks with numbers at the bottom which is the prize one would get.
Shooting Game: One uses a plastic Nerf gun in order to hit targets in a set time.
Milk Bottle: Throwing balls at neatly stacked bottles. Knock them all to get a prize.
Balloon and Dart: Throwing darts at a balloon to get them to pop.
Ring the Bell/Test of Stength: Using a wooden mallet one has to use ones strength in order to hit the bell.
Rope Ladder: Make it from one end to the other without falling off.

Be free to try your luck on any of them. Chiaki will be tending the place for most of the day.]

B
[When Chiaki isn't at the booth it will be someone else, so free for all for those who want to play without Chiaki being there. Or be the one behind the stall because Chiaki asked.]

[lunarlegionnaire]

[Marc's not so much of a sap to believe in the whole 'the real heroes' deal; if one can help, they simply help to the very best of their ability, whether they wear tights or a uniform. That said, he appreciates those who don't have to wear a mask to protect those who travel by night. So give he does. Generously but anonymously.]

[He can be found at the Balloon game, popping inflated rubber with darts that are decidedly less moon-shaped than what he usually throws. He may not miss a single one, but he does let a few shots look wobblier and less certain than they really are. Best to look like someone out of practice than someone with a secret night job.]

Bake Sale | Open

[ivegotadream]

[Rapunzel said she would make various goods and she did. Within the time she had managed to bake, cookies of various flavours. Cupcakes of various flavours, apple pie, cherry pie, rhubarb crumble and other various treats. She made sure to bake as much as she could with the free time she had at the time. Rapunzel had been happy with the results of everything she made and now all that was left was to sell them.]

Delicious baked goods for sale, get them while they are hot. Made with love and care and going to a very good cause.

[OOC: List of what she is selling is here]

Planetarium Booth | Open

[crapton_of_luck]

[First thing when he got there, Lucky had dropped Aslan and Aravis off at the Pokemon booth for the day. Now that the planetarium booth is set up, he's currently showing some of the kids the constellations from his world, particularly focusing on Leo since well, that's the constellation he's from.]

Nova City Museum l OTA

[redarrowqueen]

[Thea in her trademark red leather motorcycle jacket is perched atop a booth table as she's answering questions about several upcoming shows the booth is plugging. Its also a little off topic but there's also an occasional tale of her world and Starling City shared as a question warrants. Anyone passing by can see she's actually pretty good at this, she shines among people after all.]

Archery demo \ OTA

[amygreycastle]

[Amy has set her archery demonstration up a bit away from the fair, so as not to accidentally hit anyone should any of her shots go wide. She's currently explaining how archery works to a group of people, then showing off her shooting skills.]

Fireworks Show | OTA

[hot_handed]

[To be honest, after their last argument, Katsuki didn't want to commit to a city that was lead by someone as corrupt as Cassian. But he wasn't one to quit. So, situated at the edge of the fair for safety reasons, with some mats near the crowd for some reason, he screams at the top of his lungs.]

LET'S FUCKING GO!!! YOU'LL DIE WITH MY SKILLS!!!

[This succeeds in firing some people up, worrying more and making several kids cry...

Until they see the multicolored blossoms in the sky as Bakugo takes air and starts firing off his quirk. He's used a special powder so that he can create shapes like actual fireworks from skulls, to dragons and things like that; some of the displays even change shape midway as he flies through it, embers floating down in his wake. By now most of their fear and concern is gone, and people are cheering. One random kid is even screaming about murder along with Bakugo, thinking it's really cool.

Then for the final part of his show, he zooms down in a spiral, building up speed with each explosion and landing hard in the middle of the crowd to spin them in the air with a more mild, less dangerous version of one of his attacks. They all land on the mats safely except one who Bakugo catches and places down on one. There's a moment of complete silence before everyone bursts into cheers.]

Okay, now for round two, IF YOU DON'T WANT TO BE HERE FOR IT GET THE FUCK OUT!!!

Re: Fireworks Show | OTA

[amygreycastle]

[Amy had been taking a break from her archery booth and was watching the fireworks, cheering along with everyone else. She figured the kid *could* tone the cussing down some but other than that, maybe he wasn't so bad.]

Fairy Tail's booth - You think I'm late but it's an illusion ;)

[fairysoul]

OPEN to All!

A- Mavis, with the help of Erza, Mirajane, Tatlyn, Jack... and even Zeref, has made quite a nice little booth adorned with the famous fairy Tail crest. Mavis also made some fairy cookies that she's selling by batches of two, a sign indicates that profits go to charity.

B- An other sign says: "Wonderful books in direct provenance from the best bookstore in Fayren : "Scribes and Scripts".

C- Finally, as announced and whenever Mavis can leave the booth under someone else's supervision, she walks through the crowd and demonstrate her illusion magic skills.

[twin_tailed_wolf]

[Tatlyn was indeed there, doing her part for her friend and the guild and dressed for the occasion. The little wolfgirl was playing a mirthful tune on her tin whistle, dancing gently to her music.

She's open to talk, but in the mean time, she's going to try to attract visitors to the Fairy Tail booth.]

Hi, hello, what up, welcome! When it comes to fairies, we're the real deal and just as cute and pretty! So come check out our magical treats!

A

[bigbadrose]

Rose is going to buy SO MANY cookies.

SO many.

Like all of them almost.

The Doctors and TARDIS family are going to have cookies out the ears.

She even has a tote bag for them all.

And the perfect spot for her guild mark on her right hand.

Re: Fairy Tail's booth - You think I'm late but it's an illusion ;)

[captainspain]

Jack is using his full charm to sell cookies. He is fully enjoying himself as he gently flirts with customers as he does his best to convince them they needed one of these cookies in their lives.

[deathsought]

{ Zeref doesn't seem to be paying much attention to the crowds. Instead, there's a book open in his lap, but it's written in a strange language; the letters look more like hieroglyphs and a nearby stack of notes with various ciphers written down and then scribbled out appear to be an attempt at translating it. Zeref doesn't appear frustrated by the apparent lack of success, however; he's just more determined than ever to continue.

Unless somebody approaches him, he won't look up from his work. }
