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!

[Beastboy let out a cheer as the milk bottles scattered with a loud clang. Only one remained standing, wobbling perilously close to falling.]

Come onnnn, come onnnnn!

[As if shouting at the bottle would do the trick. Then again perhaps it did. Because gravity seemed to kick in and the bottle fell.]

BOOYAH!
for_granite: i only shoot up with your perfume (ever since we met)

[personal profile] for_granite 2014-01-06 12:18 am (UTC)(link)
[A surprised laugh escapes Terra's mouth.] No way, I thought I'd totally flub it!
changelingdude: (T/B.B: I knew you were a dog person)

[personal profile] changelingdude 2014-01-07 10:23 am (UTC)(link)
I knew you could do it!

[A new hug and a plush toy is her reward...it looks like a monkey. And a kiss on the cheek from Beastboy.]
for_granite: to be running from anyone (you're such a pretty thing)

[personal profile] for_granite 2014-01-08 01:22 am (UTC)(link)
[With a blush, she goes all modest, shrugging her shoulders and taking the monkey under one arm.]

Aw, it was nothin'. You're too sweet.
changelingdude: (Default)

[personal profile] changelingdude 2014-01-08 08:43 pm (UTC)(link)
You deserve every bit of sugar I've got~

[A wink and a laugh. Being a cutesy couple is actually alot of fun isn't it?]
for_granite: (i want'cha to catch me like a cold)

[personal profile] for_granite 2014-01-08 10:46 pm (UTC)(link)
[AND NOTHING'S INTERRUPTING THEM THIS IS THE BEST DATE THEY'VE HAD. just wait

She wraps her arm around his.]
C'mon. Let's get some chow.
changelingdude: (drool)

[personal profile] changelingdude 2014-01-08 11:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Ooo~ I love it when you speak my language.

[Purring and wiggling his ears cheerfully they cut through the crowd towards the food stalls letting the sights, sounds and smells guide them]

Where do we start? I can't decide!
for_granite: (i wanna be free‚ i wanna be loved)

[personal profile] for_granite 2014-01-09 06:07 am (UTC)(link)
Somethin' sweet. Like you.
changelingdude: (Excited beastboy)

[personal profile] changelingdude 2014-01-10 11:11 pm (UTC)(link)
[From green to blushed red, Beastboy grins sheepishly and leads her to the closest snack stand]

Deep fried Twinkies? Duuuuude that's like...the most unhealthy thing ever.
for_granite: (we should feed our jewelry to the sea)

[personal profile] for_granite 2014-01-11 03:44 am (UTC)(link)
We need it.

[She buys two.]
changelingdude: (Bwahgarglefaint)

[personal profile] changelingdude 2014-01-11 06:27 pm (UTC)(link)
[And two for Beastboy~]

With extra hot fudge and whipped cream!

[And with their drippy sticky monstrosities they find seats near some Digimon performing a juggling act. Beastboy scoops up some of his with a fork and plops it into his mouth. His eyes pop open wide and Terra can see a twinkie shaped bomb falling through his brain to explode with flavor]

Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuude~

[She's already finished hers and buying two more, time to kill the bank account.]
changelingdude: (T/B.B: Holding out for a hero baby?)

[personal profile] changelingdude 2014-01-12 07:13 pm (UTC)(link)
[Beastboy's mind is still blown by the first two]

It's like...pure flavor just melting in my mouth.

[Just nobody tell him how much animal fat is in the cream of Twinkies...it's all digital anyway]

Oh deep frying...is there nothing you can't make more wonderful?
for_granite: (i had a rosy dream)

[personal profile] for_granite 2014-01-16 01:11 am (UTC)(link)
[She will never ruin this, what are you thinking.]

Mmm...

[These two she's savoring.] I think we found it. The food Holy Grail.
changelingdude: (T/B.B: Deeper kiss)

[personal profile] changelingdude 2014-01-17 10:20 pm (UTC)(link)
[A sharp toothed grin and then his ears wiggle]

Oh hey you've got some powdered sugar right here...

[And he leans in to steal a kiss, sneaky devil]
for_granite: (placing a smile at the perfect event)

[Except she closes the distance, moving to cut him off before their lips can connect. Looks like she's just as devious.]
changelingdude: (T/B.B: Deeper kiss)

[personal profile] changelingdude 2014-01-21 12:07 am (UTC)(link)
[He blushes hotter red and makes a little surprised mew sound. Followed by more of that excited purring and kissing back. To think they wasted so much time back home not doing this. He'd be perfectly content if they sat here kissing for the rest of the night.

...of course the rest of these twinkies would have to be eaten first.

For now he gently and cautiously slips his arm around her and places a hand on her side possessively.]
