New Years Festival!

Who: EVERYONE! Chosen and Partners, Damemon, Deputymon, Starmon too!
What: The New Year's Festival and Masquerade Ball
Where: Shinjuku Gyoen in the Park
When: December 31st



December 31st has at last arrived, and despite certain events depriving the Digital World of the original creator, the people involved with the New Years Festival managed to pull through. With Roze's work already underway and the designs and directions sent out, it wasn't hard to finish what had been started.

At mid-afternoon, a general text was sent out to all the D-Terminals announcing the festival grounds as open. Going to the Shinjuku Gyoen part of the park revealed a tiny wonderland of games and food manned by Chosen, Partners and Damemon alike.

Every Chosen and Partner have Damemon helpers and shifts rotate at each stall, making certain no one is kept from enjoying themselves to the fullest.

To either side of the festival grounds are picnic areas set up with several tables, all surrounded by bright white and yellow string lights. The four rows of game and food stalls are all decorated with large red paper lanterns, paper dragons and bright string lights, allowing the festivities to proceed well after dark.

At the front of the entire festival grounds Roze's Digimon - Julie the Impmon and Musashi the Kotemon - hand out copies of a simple map. On the back of each map the times for the masquerade dance are printed in case people forgot the time from their invitations.

In the Taiwan Pavilion, from the start of the festival to the end, Maya Matlin and Ryan Evans play music on piano and cello, rotating with Neku Sakuraba who maintains a steady flow of pre-arranged music. Several times throughout the day a handful of Digimon put on a simple but entertaining Taiko drum performance. Two long buffet tables filled with food and punch stay full throughout the day and night.

Jin Uzuki teaches calligraphy at one stall, as well as performs tea ceremony and lectures on Japanese traditions for those not educated on the themes presented by the festival.

Squall Leonhart stands sentinel over the Kingyo Sukui (goldfish catching) stall.

Campbell Saunders covers the ball toss, where people can try their luck knocking down milk bottles.

The Medicine Seller mans the Okonomiyaki cart, where people are free to order any combination of ingredients and eat hot food straight from the iron.

Mikasa Ackerman covers a colorful and pleasant-smelling stall where festival-goers can choose from dozens of bananas on sticks, the fruit dipped in different flavored coatings and numerous toppings.

Shannon Vaughn and Eli Delacroix cover the stall on the center walk where those at the festival can pick up sparklers and handmade papier-mâché masks for fun or the masquerade, if they have none of their own.

A ping pong toss with water-filled glass bowls sits with a pair of Damemon attendants cheering on participants.

Next to the Okonomiyaki cart, Saori Nakagawa and Laguna Loire provide fresh Takoyaki (octopus balls) on sticks, steaming and delicious.

The local Prince, Rowan, cheerily provides personal pies or slices of ready-made large ones and chats amiably with anyone who happens to be drawn in by meat or fruit fillings inside flaky crusts.

Cheerful little Miwako Sakurada watches the Yoyo Tsuri (water balloon yoyo) cart, balloons in bright splashes of color floating in a rotating pool of water, casting a rainbow across the cloth roof of the stall.

The ever large and boisterous Rider struts around a Strongman Hammer game, jeering and cajoling the men and complimenting the women, making bets and offering arm-wrestling competitions.

Little Wily-Kit has a raised platform surrounded by cushions where people can sit and listen to her play the flupe and regale them with tales from her homeland.

Dante sits at a stall of his own, playing guitar when he's not giving kisses for donations to the festival fund.

A ring toss game where one can try to put small rings around the necks of glass bottles stands manned by two Damemon arguing restlessly about the arrangement of the bottles.

Waver Velvet and his Wizardmon stand to dazzle onlookers with card tricks and details of magic performed in Waver's homeland.

Next to Wily-Kit's storytelling and Waver's tricks, Harry Potter serves up a variety of hot drinks close to the front of the festival so people have something to warm their hands and bellies while they enjoy the festivities.

Throughout the entire festival ground, Seifer Almasy and his hand-picked group of Digimon patrol the area, ejecting trouble-makers and seeing to damages while Yu Narukami and his team keep supplies full and assist Seifer with damage control.

The festival continues on through the day until the Masquerade Ball begins. All the stalls close and people are free to dress and attend as they like. Food and punch remains present and the music continues until midnight, when masks are to be removed and the New Year begins!

Rider inclines his head at the young man. "You hit it with the hammer." He lazily points to the hammer, then to the target.
bigsoftie: (magical gator Leatherhead)

[personal profile] bigsoftie 2013-12-28 08:46 am (UTC)(link)
Seemed easy enough, he thought. Leatherhead lifted the object with only slight effort. Throwing his weight in his swing he hits the target as hard as he can.

"It is done." he said with little fanfare.

"Hmm I guess hes got a point. I mean this is all very new to me. The last date I went on there was a gang fight and cops involved."

He looked at Whirl shyly holding his hands behind his back. He really never dated. His ex-wife was someone he grow up with and they kinda just spent time together till they never wanted to be apart. She was not a girly girl either so there wore no moves and dinner, just her and the gang getting into trouble.

"So where is this map thingy?"

"C'mon, that all you got? I can do better with one arm behind my back!" Rider guffaws, egging the burly teen on.
bigsoftie: (bondage isn't as fun as it sounds)

[personal profile] bigsoftie 2013-12-28 09:05 am (UTC)(link)
He's got more than that buddy, especially if someone eggs him on like that. Straining with the tool, he swings it even harder, growling as he does so.

[personal profile] bigger_and_better 2013-12-28 09:07 am (UTC)(link)
"Swing it like your girlfriend's watching!" That was a pretty good swing, that second time, but Rider's pretty sure those muscles can get just a little more.
bigsoftie: (You say something to me?)

[personal profile] bigsoftie 2013-12-28 09:20 am (UTC)(link)
"I do not have one!" he asserted, the chords in his neck straining from the effort doubled into his third blow.
headup_stickontheice: (how do you play the game?)

[personal profile] headup_stickontheice 2013-12-28 10:26 am (UTC)(link)
Behind the stall, handing out balls and prizes, occasionally shouting encouragements, is Cam. He and Lucette, the only one of his partners with hands, take turns resetting the knocked over pins, while Salamon looks on quietly, though Cam's tried to get him to go and mingle.

At times, Cam feels courageous enough to call out into the people, because even if she's still not here, he promised Roze he'd help, and...it feels wrong not to put some effort into it.

"Step right up! Try you hand, win a prize!" It's not very original, but his voice doesn't crack all that much, so Cam considers it a huge victory.
headup_stickontheice: (into the past‚ i try to sort it)

[personal profile] headup_stickontheice 2013-12-28 10:29 am (UTC)(link)
Cam knows the music team quite well, so when he's on his off-times, it's natural that he gravitates toward the pavilion, to wait for their off-time or talk or just listen. He really likes the listening. He wanders over more than once, to catch Neku and Maya on their separate shifts.
oneeyedterror: (Bored now... which is a bad thing)

[personal profile] oneeyedterror 2013-12-28 04:34 pm (UTC)(link)
He simply shrugs and... Starts to use Rotorstorm as an arm rest, leaning on his digimon partner.

"You done now, Killer?" Whirl asks in the most bored tone humanly possible.
oneeyedterror: (Maybe just being a little creepy)

[personal profile] oneeyedterror 2013-12-28 04:42 pm (UTC)(link)
"... Now that sounds like frikking fun."

Mention of fights actually gets a grin out of Whirl, because if there is one thing he knows? It's fights. And Rotorstorm is holding up one of the maps, a piece of paper thing.

"Here," the digimon holds it so Tetsushi can look at it.
changelingdude: (It's all a game.)

[personal profile] changelingdude 2013-12-28 05:04 pm (UTC)(link)
[He spat out the ball and gave a wind up, spinning his arm comically like a windmill and sending the ball shooting across the short distance to clobber the milk bottles sending them scattering through the stall.

If there's one talent the Digital world couldn't remove from Beastboy with his animal powers, it was his unnatural talent for carnival games.]

SCORE!

[personal profile] lilpoppa 2013-12-28 09:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Tetsushi stared at the map for a bit and scratched his head. He did not see anything on there that really called out to him. He looked over to Whirl and smiled

"Well Whirl what do you think looks fun?"

oneeyedterror: (Caught)

[personal profile] oneeyedterror 2013-12-28 10:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Tetsushi isn't the only one giving the map a look, in fact Whirl is squinting at it. Although unlike Tetsushi, Whirl honestly has no idea what any of it is. And that probably shows on his face too.

"... Dunno, I've never been to one of these frikking things."
darkened: (Rep was here. Riku's a loser.)

[personal profile] darkened 2013-12-29 12:00 am (UTC)(link)
[Well, hey, there's someone the Replica knows. That's part of the reason the Replica heads in Rowan's direction, really-- a familiar face in a mass of unfamiliars. Plus, Kotemon's been nudging him to go mingle, anyway, and she's been awfully pushy lately.

So, here he is, giving a faint smile at Rowan.]


I didn't know you baked.
scratchitti: (Pondering)

[personal profile] scratchitti 2013-12-29 12:02 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, it kinda is.

[he shuffles from foot to foot]
scratchitti: (Stretching)

[personal profile] scratchitti 2013-12-29 12:04 am (UTC)(link)
Neku waves Cam down on his break, as Maya and Ryan start up. He grins, looking a little worn, but happy

"Hey! Come to see Maya play?"
innermonologues: (Ah...?)

[personal profile] innermonologues 2013-12-29 12:23 am (UTC)(link)
Ah... I'm sure you'll have fun then.
marinebiting: The FUCK did you say about my sister? (✘ - Big Jaws)

[personal profile] marinebiting 2013-12-29 12:56 am (UTC)(link)
[Wow. Just wow. There aren't words for this. Let's just pretend this didn't happen okay?]

So what do you recommend?
howamanlives: (annoyed some more)

[personal profile] howamanlives 2013-12-29 03:14 am (UTC)(link)
You do realize that "drunk brawling" is a bit more than a typical problem when some of them can breathe fire, right?

[Masaru sighs, and leans against a nearby lamp post]

Oh well, I guess with us here, it's covered... Um. Thanks for letting me work with you guys, Narukami. I know you have plenty of reason to be distrustful of me after the Darkdramon thing...
lovespinkbirdies: (... Where'd that wall come from?)

[personal profile] lovespinkbirdies 2013-12-29 04:46 am (UTC)(link)
[ Usually Chika would've giggled at the Lucemon's bored expression when she walked past the stall, but well, the voice of the person who was saying it kinda stopped her.

Biyomon didn't say anything as he looked over at her with a bit of a confused look on his face, but eventually Chika moved to step forward. ]


Umm... hi there. I...

[ Why was apologizing to a total stranger for being a brat over a month ago so hard? ]
lovespinkbirdies: (... Where'd that wall come from?)

[personal profile] lovespinkbirdies 2013-12-29 04:51 am (UTC)(link)
Umm... hey Yu. What's up? Do you guys need more help or anything?

[ Chika might not have been planning on helping out with security or something today, but even she could see that having just a group of Digimon when a bunch of people here could make their digimon bigger and more explosion causing could end up going badly if fights did break out. ]
happiestberry: (Cheery smile)

[personal profile] happiestberry 2013-12-29 04:58 am (UTC)(link)
[ Miwako turned her attention to Chika. That smile on her face never even disappeared. ]

Would you like one? You can have any color you want.

[ She remembered this girl from a couple months ago. She had angered her so much. It was good to see her looking like she was in a little bit better mood. ]
lovespinkbirdies: (pic#6927461)

[personal profile] lovespinkbirdies 2013-12-29 05:06 am (UTC)(link)
Umm... sure. But I... I want to apologize first. For how I was acting the last time we talked. I... said somethings I shouldn't have and wasn't really acting like I normally do.
