Festival Week
And now we interrupt your regularly scheduled Curses for...
Festival Week in the City!
What's going on? Well, our now-lively little NPCs have gotten together and prepared the city streets and shops for a special festival that last from Monday, May 4th to Friday, May 8th. Not to worry; this isn't a curse of any sort, but an event.
Starting on Monday around Noon [CST], all the streets and shops in the city will be lined with flowers, plants, ribbons, and various other decorations in honor of a few holidays from around the world, in order to give the hotel residents a little piece of home for the week.
The following two holidays will be the "main" holidays being celebrated this week (since it's still Golden Week in Japan), but are not limited to these alone-- you may have characters say there's things set up for your characters' countries or home worlds in another street if they're from someplace other than what will be listed here, but this should give you a general idea of how things work for the week during the festivities.
There will be plenty of themed snacks and treats being handed out, as well, so you won't go hungry during these celebrations. Examples are (but are not limited to):
The streets will be lined with a large assortment of flowers, plants, and nature-related decorations, and all the NPCs will be encouraging characters to be kindhearted and caring for all the flora and fauna during this day. Your character might even occasionally get several gifts of houseplants and flower bouquets from the NPCs as well, whether they want them or not. |D
Amaterasu shall likely be assisting with the greenery for this, so don't be surprised if trees and flowers suddenly pop out of nowhere nearby your character as they explore the streets.
Since there's a few children around the hotel (and kids at heart), this day is for them. NPCs will be handing out handmade dolls and toys to all the little boys and girls, passing around kites, toy cars, hand-carved wooden animals, and various other things like that.
---
Just because those start on those days doesn't mean they end after the day is over-- both will go on throughout the rest of the week, as well as whatever other holidays you guys happen to want to add to the pile here. HOWEVER. All festivities for the week will end after Midnight, May 8th [CST].
Please comment here if you would like to add an event to the list so others know what to expect, should they participate in that particular event with their characters. If any of your characters would like to help out with the events, they may do so as well. Be reasonable, but have fun!
