Harvest Pet Adoption Festival Log!

The Harvest Pet Adoption Festival is finally here! There are plenty of things to do and animals all around. There's even a petting zoo for farm animals! (Though unless you have experience taking care of them, you might not want to ask about taking them home since they're a little harder than your standard pets... besides, there are plenty of animals that need adopting that aren't from a local farm!) In addition to potential new animal friends, there are food booths everywhere for fresh cooked meals, farmers' market fresh produce, and your standard festival deep fried everything. Low on money but still hungry? Try participating in the pumpkin-pie eating contest! It seems like there's a trophy and a special Harvest Pet Adoption Festival Dough* prize for the biggest stomach!
A number of rides are around the festival, including a Ferris wheel, a mini-coaster, and a horse-drawn hay ride. Get your face painted or have a local artist draw a caricature of you! Maybe learn how to make your own pottery at the hands-on arts and crafts area where masters of various crafts are helping to involve new people in their arts. Various carnival games are available in the Arcade section of the street, where a number of vendors have set up their traditional carnival games for your enjoyment. Maybe free entertainment is more your style- check out the live concerts, DJ, and outdoor dance floor near the back end of the festival!
There is a costume contest at 4:00pm open to anyone dressed up as something other than themselves.

In such startling ages as ours, where we must sacrifice dignity for the chance of money and poke-fixings...well, he was the Guardian. Ted had to get used to making tough choices.

Ryo's Food Cart
There is a small area with a small table right in front of his car tray on it. On the tray are homemade cat and dog treats, each labeled with a little sign behind it. He has two forms of cookies for dogs, one with peanut butter and bacon (which are all bundle in threes) and another with vegetables, spinach and yogurt. He also has cheery oatmeal muffins for the dogs.
For the cats, he has two forms of cookies too. One that has some honey and catnip in it and another that has dried catnip and tuna in it. He researched all the ingredients for the treats and made sure it was all petsafe. He even makes sure to put Pet Safe on the signs labeling the treats. They are human safe as well. The treats are free, but there is a tipjar next to those treats with a sign that says the proceeds will go to Whatevfur.]
Animal Food!
Can I have some of the Vegetables, spinach and yogurt treats and tuna for the cats?

[ Weiss is simultaneously easy and difficult to find around the Festival. Because she's making sure things are going according to plan, she's often rushing about the Festival with different people to solve any problems before they get out of control. Have an issue/need some help? Find her running around in her costume- she's dressed up as Yang
complete with a stuffed push-up on to try to complete the costume. She didn't wear a wig or dye her hair, but she did curl it and has it down instead of her usual pony tail. ]HAY RIDE
[ Break time? Break time. And what better way to take a break than to ride around on the horse-drawn carriage where no one can catch you with business? Weiss is just quietly enjoying the ride around the fair and sipping on a coffee as they go. ]
PUPPIES
[ There is definitely one point during the day that Weiss absolutely laid a blanket out in the puppy pen and just sat there and is enjoying letting puppies crawl all over here. She's not even trying to avoid smiling, which probably looks very strange for those who aren't close to her. ]
Hay Ride
He hops on at the last minute before the ride heads off. He notices that he's not alone, but since Weiss is in costume, he doesn't recognize her right away.]
Aah...this feels better already.
[He's also got a treat of his own -- funnel cake. He begins to pull pieces off and pop them in his mouth, before shifting around to get a better look at his fellow passenger.
Wait a minute...]
Hey...you're the woman of the hour herself, aren't you? I'm sorry, I didn't recognize you right away. Long time no see.
gosh sorry about the delay i got way busier than i thought i would be
No worries! I can back tag forever, anyway.

Puppies
So here she was, browsing around trying to deduce for herself what this was all about, but then suddenly stopped in her tracks when she heard the sound of yapping. She found the source to be puppies!
Anastasia planted her feet by the puppy pen and just silently watched the puppies play and pluck her heart strings like a lyre.]
sorry this took so long, i ended up way busier this last week than i thought!

He's not really hitting the rides all that much, though. He's more interested in the food and watching the animals. As well as talking to people. Might as well socialize since he's here. Though he's going to favor people he's spoken to before.]
no subject
[Terra walks up with a warm smile, her eyes on the little pets that need a home. Her heart reaches out to them but she doesn't know if she can keep any of them. So she wanders around the area wonder what might be around the fair.]

He's not too interested in the other activities, aside from the food, anyway, so he can just be found checking the place out... but not without a companion. He noticed he was being followed by a small german shepherd puppy, so occasionally he stops to dote on it. ... and give it small bits of a soft pretzel he had at the time.]
Hello~
[Sakura smiles brightly as she leans down and tosses the dog a few treats. There is a small furry animal in her arms though it's hard to tell if it's a dog, a cat or something else entirely.]
It's nice to see you in person.
[She remembers him from the phones.]

Aqua || Around || Open
Aqua looks like a spectator with her back lightly pressed against the wall behind her and her eyes on the scenes in front of her. She doesn't look like she plans to particulate but it won't take much to persuade her. A soft sigh leaves her lips while a smile plays across her features.]
There is so much to see.

Levy Mcgarden | Open
[Levy looks more than a little excited watching the Ferris Wheel and coaster roll by. Her eyes light up and her step has a little bit of a bounce as she walks closer. There is a wide smile over her lips as she takes the time to walk through the whole area before deciding what to to. Besides the two rides there is a hay-ride and her inner child wants to do that as well.
Her confliction is noticeable since she does nothing to hide it and it looks like she could use some advice as to where to start.]
Entertainment
[After checking out the rides she goes for the back of the festival. She'd go look at the pets but with a bunny and pokemon she was swamped and she knows herself well enough to know that someone might convince her to take another cute furry creature home.
So she focuses on the parties: Concerts, DJ's, and dancing! It's something that reminds her a lot of Fairy Tail, not how it is now but how she remembers it. How her friends sang and dance and had fun. She misses that now but it will not dismiss her smile. There is to much that keep her spirit a live.]

Terra Branford || Open!
[Terra has an infinity for animals and she can easily be found surrounded by the little critters at the petting zoo. Kittens jump over her lap while pups and other animals seek to grab her attention. They paw and play at her fingertips as she teases and entertains the small animals.
They really are cute.
A slightly smile pulls at her lips as she enjoys the company of the small animals. Nothing can be more entertaining than this!]
Hey-rides
[This is not what she's expecting but she's having fun. Her eyes are on the landscape as it slowly moves passed the moving cart. She leans against the railing with her fingers laced in her lap. There is so much she isn't used too. So much that her world doesn't have that is here.
There is so much to experience and yet her lips stay solemn as she enjoys the hey ride.
She isn't really sure where it's going either.]

Joruk , sort of volunteering
He was checked the horses to make sure they were in good shape. They weren't in bad condition, and they seemed happy to see him. One of the nudged him for pettings.
"You guys could use some fresh grazing."
Puppet Show | Main Area | Open
Making a profit or gaining only a few minutes of fame was not in her agenda at these public gatherings. Nor was looking for a pet. With her collection of dolls floating beside her, she was going to show off.
The puppeteer took a clear and open spot where the most people were and set up her little stage. With the minimal of finger movement, her dolls took their places, and the show began.
With no narration from Alice, the story told of a sweet girl and her dog. The dog had been taken away by a mean and nasty girl who was jealous. The sweet girl went on a quest to save her doggy friend. At the climax, the sweet girl battled the jealous girl in a rather adorable sword fight until the jealous girl surrendered. Reunited, the sweet girl made a gesture of friendship to the other girl by bringing her along to adopt a puppy of her very own and they could all play together.
A very child-friendly puppet show and Alice would be glad to repeat it as many times as she feels necessary.]
"I'm free to answer any questions between shows."
