Nova City Carnival

[rulerofme]

Who: Open!
When: 3/27 - 4/02
Where: Nova City at the grounds being used for the Carnival.
What: Nova City Carnival

The NCC (Nova City Carnival) opens up its gates for business on the 27thof March. The line to get inside was decently long during the first few hours, but as the day went on it shortened as things got into full swing and booth attendants got into the flow. By noon the place was pretty packed, with there being so much to do, many people planned on spending the entire day there.

Come nightfall, it didn't thin out at all. If anything, attendance grew as more citizens of Nova City made there way there. The atmosphere is as positive as you can expect from being around people that are enjoying themselves. And it would continue on like this until the final day.

Contest Sign Up is still open, and it will remain that way until the day of the contest. Feel free to imply whatever ride or game your character might want to play is there. You can list your character's name in the subject line for easy location.]

How did you wear it in the play? [He's currently dressed head to toe in black, so he can vouch for it being hot.]

[He blushes, blurting out his words a bit too defensively, which just makes it more obvious he's trying to hide something.] Normal ones! Completely normal games!

[graduations]

[ She points to her head, showing where the braids were with her finger. ] I had braids here, then pulled up into the center with my bangs still down in the front and a tiara. Though I think I would've left the tiara out today. I don't have my hair things so it's too late to do now.

[ Wha- ] They're all pretty normal at a carnival.. [ Ahahaha.. ]

[the_heroine]

[He glances around at the stands. Maybe one of them had some hair ties or something. Then she could wear her hair that way, and at least one of her potential love interests would notice...] That's too bad. It sounds cute.

[What? A carnival? Oh... He laughs nervously.] That's right! They are! I only play games when I'm at the carnival, I don't play other games!

[graduations]

Perhaps next time then. Though I think I'll still hold off on the tiara.

[ Tiaras aren't exactly her style when given a choice. ] It's alright if you play games elsewhere, Mikoshiba-san.

[ She isn't even sure that he does, but saying it like there's something wrong with it otherwise is a little odd.. ]

[the_heroine]

You should go with the tiara if it suits the atmosphere. The next scenario might not be this casual.

[His face turns bright red with embarrassment.] Don't be stupid. I don't play any of those weird games. The only games I play are normal ones like sports.

[graduations]

I can't think of any scenarios besides a play that a tiara would suit the atmosphere...

[ She's definitely no princess, after all.. ]

What weird games..?

[the_heroine]

You could probably get away with one at some sort of formal dance. Especially if you keep everything else mostly simple.

[Nozaki might try to make her one in his manga if she met him.]

Games like...video games that people get really into.

[graduations]

I wouldn't want to overdo it.. I'm definitely not a princess, a play is more than enough.

[ She's a little too modest for that. ]

Well as long as they're not inappropriate, I think it should be okay. Especially if it's you, Mikoshiba-senpai. As long as you're still living your life in addition to playing any games, it should be okay!

[ She'd probably think it was a problem if he locked himself in his room and didn't emerge for days, but as it stands, she's seen him out and about plenty and working toward things, she wouldn't think anything weird unless it turned out to be some kind of game with an XXX rating. Or she found out all that dating experience he claims to have came from them.. ]

[the_heroine]

So would it bother you if someone called you princess?

[He thinks of Kashima and all her fangirls.]

[You don't understand, Yui. Video games are his life. But she did call him senpai. That kind of helps him forget for a moment while he tries not to smile and give away his emotions.]

Did you want to try any of the games here? [Subject changes are always a safe choice.]

[graduations]

Well, I already get called Weed, Kitten, and Fairy... Princess would be a little more normal, probably... but I don't think it would be very appropriate. [ Not that the first three were.. ]

Sure! Which one is your favorite?

[the_heroine]

One of those names doesn't match up with the others. [He grimaces.]

I like the ones where you win regardless of luck. [The miniature shojo figurines were so fun to collect.] ...I like the ones where you throw things!

[graduations]

That's because Takeru-san needs to learn better manners. [ She's not even going to deny it's him. :T ]

What about the bean bag toss?

[the_heroine]

But if he did that it would destroy some of his charm and appeal. Maybe if he just warmed up to you, it would be better...

[He considers it and smiles.] Sure! I'll go first, I'll go first!

[graduations]

He already has warmed up a little. It's just taken a while. [ You should've seen him when he was a butthead, Mikorin... ]

Alright, lead the way!

[the_heroine]

[It probably did take a while. Especially for you, Yui. Because she's oblivious. But he doesn't say that, he just smiles and nods.] I'm sure it was worth it!

Hah? [He pauses, realizing he volunteered.] R-right, okay! [And he leads the way!]

[graduations]

It was! He's a good friend now that we've overcome certain things together.

[ Absolutely oblivious.

She follows closely, her hands crossed in front of her. ]

[the_heroine]

Is that so?

[Screams on the inside. At least she has the right personality for a dating sim protagonist. She can get along with different personalities. When they reach the stand, he pays the fee and takes the beanbag. He tries to gauge the distance.]

Don't look away, Kusanagi-san, or you'll miss your senpai's amazing throwing skills!

[graduations]

Mhm. He saved my life once, but Zeus-san punished him because he had to break the rules to do it.. we had to convince him not to turn Takeru-san into a statue just for protecting me.

[ She won't share the background information on Takeru's part though. That's a little more private. ]

I won't miss anything, Mikoshiba-senpai! [ She looks kinda pumped ok. ]

[the_heroine]

That actually happens?! People turn into statues? What happened? Did you come across a lot of resentful gods and go against them on your own, and at first you were fine but being only human one of them managed to disarm you and sitting there with a broken ankle, helpless, you stared at them bravely ready to accept your fate when suddenly you heard Takeru's voice yell something like, "Are you really that afraid of one human so much that you have to gang up on her at once?!" Your eyes surely would have widened in surprise, because you'd never expect Takeru to help you, but when you looked it was him, and he suddenly appeared more handsome to you than ever....

[He grins, fidgeting with excited energy.] Don't blink or do anything okay? [He runs a hand through his hair to look cool and tosses it...and he nearly makes it! But he misses by an inch.]

[graduations]

No, I was trying to catch up with him for our morning run while it was raining and fell down a cliff since the earth was loose. He jumped down after to save me, even if he didn't know if he could break Zeus-san's restraints or not. He did, and flew us both to safety. It was very touching, but Zeus-san tried to punish him and I.. [ She laughs a little, nervously. She's well aware she has a history of mouthing off to the king of gods when he does something she can't agree with. ] Takeru-san went to apologize eventually, but I stopped him and may have lost my temper with Zeus-san.. Everyone was there to support Takeru-san, and I sort of.. went off on Zeus-san because he didn't understand how compassionate Takeru-san was and how he was trying his best with everyone else. Zeus-san reversed his decision, but I did y-yell at him quite a lot.. It's a little embarrassing to think about now.

[ That's a polite way of saying she ripped Zeus a new one, anyway.. ]

Almost, Mikoshiba-senpai! Try again, I'm sure you'll do it! [ Encouragement ahoy! ]

[the_heroine]

[He listens to her story, staring at her with a look of awe. It sounds just like something out of one of his dating sims. These gods, and Yui...they were so extraordinary, compared to him.] Kusanagi-san...you're so cool!

[And it's even cooler that she treats it so casually!]

[Her encouragement keeps him from hiding in a corner the rest of the night! He can't let her down, after all!] I always choose to miss the first time! [He can't mess up can't mess up. He feels his face heat up, his palms beginning to sweat and he tosses it and this time makes it!]

Look, Kusanagi-san! Look at how perfect my aim is! Nothing less from your senpai!!!

[graduations]

Eh? Not really, I was just standing up for a friend.. You'd do the same thing, right, Mikoshiba-senpai?

[ Well, maybe.. She's sure that if he got swept up in it he'd do it anyway, but she kind of feels the same way when it comes to a lot of things.. ]

Congratulations!

[the_heroine]

It depends on how stupid they're being...

[But none of his friends have ever risked being turned into statues. If they were, it might be different.]

Do you want me to try again? I can try again!

[graduations]

I don't think being stupid should be punished by being turned to stone in a world where time is frozen.

[ Just saying. ]

Sure, if you'd like to.

[the_heroine]

Maybe not forever, but a little while? But I would think that if I turned a person who was bothering me to a statue, looking at them would just piss me off more...

[He looks disappointed and hugs the stuffed animal he just won.]

I-I don't want to anymore!
