Soulfasting Mingle
Who: EVERYONE
What: Soul Fast
When: During Soul Fast
Where: All over Ninetails Vale and in people's houses, etc.
Summary: The Celebrations of Soul Fast Begin!
It's that time of year again, and all throughout Union and in particular the Ninetales Vale, celebrations are beginning. A festival celebrating the passage of another year, of remembering and honoring the dead, and of placating particularly violent spirits has begun. Soulfasting, an old Union tradition, is one of the most popular holidays celebrated, with the Ninetales Vale being overrun with people of all ages.
Children scamper through the streets of the Vale in masks and costumes, begging for candy, while surly teenagers do the same and occasionally play pranks, and adults celebrate in a variety of fashions. Elaborate, highly fashionable costumes are all the rage, and even the nobility slips out into the Vale for a bit of fun. It's not exactly a popular destination most of the year, given the high concentrations of Dark and Ghost-types but during the festival it's most definitely in vogue and teeming with people all happy to help revitalize the area for a week.
The sounds of music drift through the air, celebratory tunes, dirges, jigs, and tunes for all ages. From the Kurain school on it's hill overlooking most of the Vale, a pipe organ solemnly plays out traditional tunes, and is surprisingly cheery for a ghost school. Across the neighborhood on another hill, Hikawa Shrine has it's doors wide open to welcome visitors, with decorations of all sorts set out.
Games are set up at both locations, including Apple Bobbing, Ducklett Pond raffles, and Pin the Scroll on the Spiritomb, though there are others set up all over the Vale's plazas. Skeeball, Target Shooting, Bell-and-Hammer games, and perhaps most strangely a “Whack-the-Diglett” that's been possessed by one of the local ghosts to give the little wooden Digletts faces all hideously angry ones. Eating contests, Pokemon Battle Circles, a Haunted House (with real ghosts!) and dozens and dozens of fortune telling stands all further add to a carnival atmosphere that even the dead can enjoy!
Lanterns and faux Spinarak webs hang from every lamppost and awning, and food stalls line the streets as vendors ply their wares. Food from all over is available, and it all seems to come together around a central square between the two hills. A stage has been set up, with musicians from all over the known world called in to show their stuff. There are dance tunes from Caldera, Union Pop and Jazz songs at work, setting crowds on fire. Sanctuary has sent a full orchestra to play various classical pieces, while Citadel's famous woodwinds and tribal drums surprise and delight. And towards the end of the day, a band from Glacier comes on stage. Their music starts out slow and ambient, but after a few sets they set up electric guitars and the gloves come off. A folk metal concert, complete with an armored warrior-woman doing the vocals and several of the soldiers from the battle weeks prior (some still bandaged) backing her up. It might be a bit shocking, but some of the youth are definitely getting into it...
And then night falls, and the party atmosphere becomes a little quieter. Plays, family meals, Ghost-story tellings, and more subdued activities become the norm though there's still a contingent of rowdies at the heart of the celebration. It's then that the ghosts really come out to play, slipping through walls to greet relatives or tease revelers. For the most part they seem friendly but not always. As usual, some specters of ill-repute have slipped in among the friendly ones, and they're making trouble. Good thing you have a Warp Band to call an exorcist, right?
((OOC: This is a general mingle log, feel free to put up your own top levels and tag around! Welcome to Soulfasting, everyone! We hope you enjoy =D ))

OTA
[Maka is trying out some of the games, strangely enough, no books in her hand and no attempts to hide from social interaction. She's even wearing a costume to match the tiny Pumpkaboo at her side. Though she tried a little bit of everything, she ended up stopping at the Whack-the-Diglett and sort of...leaning over to address the ghost possessing it.]
Come on, you can't stay in there all night, you're going to scare the kids.
[B]
[The eating contest is for humans and not for Pokemon, at least that's what Maka is trying to tell Wilbur the garbage disposal Tepig over and over again. "No, no, it's a great idea! You enter yourself and I'll eat everything for you!" Wilbur replies.]
Wilbur, that's cheating!
[C]
[Family meals. Right. The only biological family Maka has in Union is her father, and she's done all she could to make sure he hasn't seen her. Maka definitely doesn't want to see his stupid drunken revelry and his flirting with women, whatever the case. As far as she's concerned, sticking around the Hikawa Shrine is spending time with family, even the ghosts coming out to nudge at her are weird little family members.]
Watch it, I'll call Rei if you keep doing that.
[It stops and Maka's able to eat her pastry in peace. Though it does occur to her that it looks like she's talking to herself to some people, so any passersby she gives an apologetic smile to and shrugs.]
Sorry, the ghosts are still active.
A
[ This small child sees you one Pumpkaboo motif and raises you a Litwick plushie. Also a Magikarp mask tied to the side of his head, but that's not quite as thematic. ]
no subject
[Oh.
Someone...saw her talking to a machine.
People can't usually sense ghosts until they're right up on them.
Maka turns from the game, cheeks red and waving her hands as if she wasn't doing something utterly silly.]
N-no! Um, you're supposed to hit the Diglett that pop up, but--but this game got possessed by a ghost, so it's making the Diglett's faces look scary. I was trying to convince it to come out and go somewhere else.

B-be careful, ghosts get annoyed at the drop of a hat.
[And she definitely doesn't want a little kid getting hurt by a ghost.]
If it wants to play...we should tell it that it needs to come out so it can do that, staying inside is just going to get it hit.
[Maka raises her voice slightly as she says this so the ghost inside can hear.]
no subject
[ Right. Okay. He cups his hands around his mouth and calls into the box. ] Hello in there! If you come out, I'll play with you!
