( open ) mid-autumn in gisela

Who: Anyone who wants to celebrate Mid Autumn Festival!
When: Roughly 11th September to 17th September.
Where: Gisela
What: A log for those who wish to use their tickets during Mid Autumn Festival! You can still use this log for visits outside of this week too (as a catch-all) but the script is for the festivities. Basically what you can do is hang out at the Inn, at Gisela, or check out the island's hot springs!
Rating: Probably PG only for if a lantern catches fire or something.


[Welcome to Gisela, the floating sky islands above Gresser! Known for its mystic scenery, hot springs, and the fact that you nearly died the one time you had a dungeon here, Gisela could be considered a popular vacation spot. Or at least it should be, because Vietnam invested good money into this inn.

Inn, you say? Yes, after the defeating the dungeon, Vietnam bought a business here, an inn near the hot springs, Dragon's Flight and Phoenix Dance. A normally quaint inn, it has transformed to offer more festivities. Staff will welcome you with elaborate fruit displays they will put in your room for you to admire (and eat). You may also like to sign up for mooncake making sessions, where you will be able to make mooncakes together with your friends and family! Share a moment with them, and then share the mooncake. Nice.

Lanterns are strung up, leading you out towards the gardens. The inn itself doesn't have a lot of space for A GREAT FESTIVAL, but on certain nights, there will be lion dancing and a few stalls opened up to sell souvenirs, all handcrafted thanks to Vietnam's instruction. Now, lion dancing usually consist of two or more people under a lion costume, however, some generous NPCs have lent them some tame magical lion beasts that look similar to the Asian mythological kind. However, Vietnam and Kija also found a pretty wild one that seems to be stuck eating some lion snacks, because they tried to wrangle it and before they could run, they were forced to commit. Kija named it Jae-ha.

Go further, and it seems like the hot springs that Vietnam has permission to use have also a bit of decoration themselves, with something heat and water proof, that is.

Should you just want to spend your time looking at the moon, darker, quieter areas of the gardens will let you do just that. Sit down and relax, of course.

If you don't really care about any of this at all, perhaps you'd just want to go sightseeing in Gisela!

And basically do whatever you want in this place, really. RELAX, HERO.]
wardance: THATS ME HOWLING MY ENJOYMENT OF THE THINGS WE CAN DO WHILE GETTING DRUNK (♯RAAAAAAAAWWWWRRRRRR)

[ Shinano is good company because of his smile, to be sure-- it's contagious and Masamune needs reasons to smile here.

And that honesty and declaration of intent is very much something he can smile over. At first, he blinks in surprise but it's quickly discards for a gentle laugh.
]

It's true, but you can do things all on your own now, too! If you'll be around me, it will be more than enough.

[ Not that he will refuse a gift from the other, but seriously the kid doesn't realize at all how amazing it is just to have him around. True, he isn't one of his own blades, but that makes little difference in terms of awe: a sword that is now living and breathing and able to exist all on its own. It's more support on the battlefield than steel could hope to offer (except in s few small range of circumstances, but that's worrying too much).

It's a great gift all its own. Not to mention, he feels special enough that Shinano has taken enough of a liking to him to want to offer such.
]

What're you thinking of, though? See any ideas, yet?

[ A smile's a small thing as far as Shinano's concerned, he'd rather do something that would genuinely help. Still if it and his honesty brighten Masamune's evening, he can't complain. ]

I guess so, I like having a body of my own. If you say it like that, then I'll try sticking by your side when you need me!

[ Shinano isn't horribly clingy nowadays-- or rather, he's been here long enough to mellow out that part of his sheltered nature. He can't make his need for closeness completely vanish, of course. The warmth from humans is irreplaceable, and he does enjoy that. But if he helps friends in others ways to make them happy, it's enough.

From a table of handmade goods with claims of bringing fortune and happiness, Shinano points to these little charms. They're not as obtrusive like some of the amulets here, and while the thought of Masamune showing off how much a little sword likes him is a delight... just giving him a thing to keep in his pocket or tie to his carrier is fine. ]


I was hoping for them to have something like omamori, I know for a fact those work... but these look a little like ema, don't they?

[ Whoever makes those little lucky pouches back home must have a ton of spiritual power. Or it's the effectiveness that the power of suggestion has on tsukumogami. ]

[ He wonders if all swords are so dedicated? It's not exactly a trait that is surprising, but Masamune is still trying to get used to the idea to begin with. ]

Yeah.

[ He nods to emphasize his agreement on them looking similar. In fact, he's beginning to wonder if it's really just coincidence there are similar festivities like this. Perhaps this while Hero business of taking other people from other worlds has happened before? Who knows.... ]

I like them.
