Summary; Spring festival
Log;

Xanadu is buzzing this afternoon with with food stands and booths with games to play and trinkets to sell or win. There are a couple of stages where people play instruments, sing, juggle, and otherwise entertain.

People donated money, time and materials to bring everything together. Some areas are very polished and professional while others have more of a homemade touch, but it blends together nicely and there is a little something for everyone. A little further from the main attractions there is space for relaxing or playing a game of frisbee or catch.

As the evening settles upon the City, paper lanterns light up an outdoor dance floor and a band plays a range of music from romantic to spirited. There are also tables set up for those who would prefer to star or people gaze.

(OOC: As mentioned here please feel free to have your character/business set up a booth or stand or to be performing under the appropriate headings! They can be doing if for money, free, or charity. General Mingle | Booths: Games/Merchandise | Food Stands | Entertainment/Street Performers | Dance)

"Alright good! I will go and speak to a few people and let you know what they say."

[livingmyths]

She looked up at him anxiously. "Are you sure you don't mind? I don't want you to get into any trouble."

[eagleofautozam]

"Not at all! Besides I don't anticipate any trouble from this. Most people are very understanding about these kinds of things."

[livingmyths]

"Okay," Rain said and smiled happily up at him. "Then I'd like that very much!"

[eagleofautozam]

"Will you still be here? Well, I suppose if you did decide to wander around I could send you a message about what the answer is."

Eagle smiled back and began to walk away. There are several people he needed to find and talk to after all.

"I will see you again later then."

[livingmyths]

"Okay," she said again, grinning and clasping her hands tightly together. "I'll be right here!"

[eagleofautozam]

Wandering around the festival and speaking to all of the people who would need to be spoken to does take about an hour.

"I'm sorry that took so long. I had no idea there would be so many people to track down."
He smiles and tilts his head to one side, "But, it is all settled. Once they close at 11 and the crowd has left they will allow you ride. The only one who refused was the guy running the 'Bouncy Castle'... I think he is a little overwrought since he has had to deal with kids all day."

[livingmyths]

"That's okay," Rain said with a smile. "Look. See how pretty the stars are tonight? And over there..."

She turned to point up towards the roof of the Library. "See the light from my greenhouse? Isn't that pretty?"

And then the rest of what he said clicked in. "Ooooh! Really? Oh Eagle!"

[eagleofautozam]

"So you didn't mind waiting because you have pretty lights to look at?"

Curious, but if that was what she liked.

"And you have a greenhouse. You must really like plants as well?"

Seeing the joy on her face when she found out the rides would be livable her for later was thanks enough. She really didn't have to say anything else.

"I hope you have fun with them. The teacup ride can make you a little dizzy though, it is something to watch out for."

[livingmyths]

"I love watching the stars. At my house I can just look straight up through my roof and watch them all night. And there's no other lights around so it's just stars." She looked rather dreamy smiling up at him. "And yes, I love my plants. They're so pretty and happy."

"Oh I will! I'll have so much fun. Will you come with me?"

[eagleofautozam]

"Watching the stars can be a lot of fun."

Though his watching the stars moments often turn into 'napping under the stars'.

"I might. If just one of two people are around it isn't too bad for you, right?"

[livingmyths]

"Oh gosh, no," Rain said with a smile. "One or two people is fine. And... you've been so nice. I'd like it if you'd come."

[eagleofautozam]

"I think it would be fun. I would love to go with you."

[livingmyths]

"Oh good!" she said, looking as if she'd like to be jumping up and down. "We'll have lots of fun!"

[eagleofautozam]

She was cute. Eagle really wouldn't mind if she did want to jump up and down a bit.

"I'm glad you are happy."

[livingmyths]

Rain was practically giddy as she rode on the rides, laughing and giggling as if she was a much younger girl.
