🎨Open Mingle: Arts Festival
WHO: Everyone
WHAT: Annual Arts Festival
WHEN: April 25th - 27th (Friday-Sunday)
WHERE: Titanic Dome
WARNINGS: none, but please mark them in your headers if necessary!
Introduction & The Stage
Welcome to the annual Arts Festival, an event made by otherworlders for otherworlders (even if locals are always more than welcome to join the festivities). Like last year, the event is held at the Titanic Dome, in the Winter Segment. Several methods of travel have been provided, from the sturdy Giant Winter Horses to teleport crystals. Otherworlders Korra and Asami Sato have also lend their huskies for scenic husky ride through the barrier protected paths.
At the festival 'gates', everyone is encouraged to take a lightstick that they can use to cheer for their favorites in the tournaments. The lightsticks change to different colors and project a hologram of the person's name on top.
Once the clock hits starting time, everyone will be welcomed by the stage host, Ren Jinguji. He performs a song of his own before declaring the Arts Festival officialy open. There's a scedule of what kind of performances can be found from the stage.
The area around the stage is large and fit to dance and party in during music shows. There's also a bar right nearby the stage so people can also sit down and enjoy the shows from there. The Odder Otters from a summer party are there to serve drinks and snacks to everyone. Occasionally they even wander to the backstage to provide performers with cold drinks.
Artist Alley & Market
The Artist Alley has various booths by otherworlders. A lot of people have brought their own handicrafts for others to look at, in the hopes of making some sales.
As a new thing for this year, the locals have set up shop for both traditional and magical art supplies. The artists of Amberfall pride themselves about making the most high quality products. Magical supplies are especially a hit among kids, as they can make paintings move inside the picture or have the colors change between all the colors or the rainbow, as some examples.
Other stalls at the market are focused on small fair games (tossing a paintball at a picture to try and color the right section, making sculptures look different by throwing rings around them, and so on), workshops (making pottery, painting glass, among many other things) and food & drinks. The locals decided to contribute to the festival this year as a thank you for the many things the otherworlders have done.
Of course, the people with the merchandise shop have also set up a much smaller booth at the market, but this time it's mostly focused on anyone who is participating in the tournaments.
Tournaments
Various tournaments are held during the festival. On Friday, it's time for non-fighting tournaments; the Jackalope Cup and the Magic Brush cup. The fighting tournaments are on the two remaining days, with the Blade and Ultima cups having their semifinals and finals on Sunday, but the first rounds on Saturday, due to them having the most participants.
This year there's even live commentary provided by Stelle for all tournaments (except for the Jackalope Cup), who definitely has her way with words. Perhaps some comments are even a little bit silly and will make the crowd giggle.
Cheer for your favorites! Console them or congratulate them once the final results are up.
Some Unwelcome Surprises
Twice during the Arts Festival, all of the power goes off; on Friday and Saturday evenings. This is due to Zapperpillars sabotaging the power supplies, as requested on the crime questboard. It takes ten minutes to get the power back on, so the whole arena is in darkness during this time. Luckily, neither of them happen during a performance or the tournaments.
The lightsticks will provide at least a small light, though all of the names will show up even brighter in the darkness. Everyone will know who your favorite is -- or who you accidentally clicked when turning the stick on.
Final Party & Cleanup
On Sunday evening, the final party starts. There's live music on the stage, possibly even a number from a DJ. Locals have set up soundless fireworks to shoot into the skies during the songs. Everyone is also provided with some sparklers by the Odder Otters, who will also be waving them around in different colors.
Before the end, Ren takes the stage again, thanking everyone for participating and helping to make the festival as great as it has bas been. Final fireworks go up in the air, signaling that the festival this year has come to an end.
On Monday, people are allowed to come back and help cleanup. The Odder Otters are also helping. Look at one of them carrying off a single hamburger wrapper. Such a hardworker! After the cleanup Ren will treat everyone who wants to join him for lunch as a thank you.

We'll get curry this time. For Mecchan.
[He feels bad he made Mecchan cry... he'll reach out to gently pat the Sobble on the head. Look, he's not scary!! He promises!!!]
But I'm buying you donuts, too.
no subject
Really? Thank you, Katsuki-kun! That's great! I bet these kids'll like it too.
[Mecchan warbles in agreement. Hina squeaks -- she likes everything!
Rinku spots a stand and indicates it with a gesture of her head.]
How about that place? I think that one was good last year.
no subject
At Rinku's suggestion, Katsuki nods and will start heading towards that stand. He wasn't here last year, so he'll trust her judgement!]
Do they make it extra spicy?
no subject
[Rinku comes up to the stand and gets in line as the people in front order.]
Though if you want something ultra spicy, there was a ramen truck last year that had something called... hm, what was it? [She pulls out her phone and scrolls back on something to check.] Oh, yeah! Devil's Ramen! People were daring each other to try it! So I bet you'd like that too. They were by the taiyaki ice cream last year, I bet they're probably back this year.
[Just casually giving more food recs, as you do. They'll be at the Arts Festival multiple days anyway, Katsuki will have more chances to eat!]
