LATE SUMMER FAIR (NSFW DESSERTS)
Characters: Ensemble cast, any/all characters of Xistentia!
Summary: The slow transition from summer leads to a fair, complete with whacky treats and activities from other holidays and festivals from around the Multiverse.
Date(s): August 26-September 2
Warnings/Notes: None, please mark your subject headers with content.
Welcome to Xistentia's first fair, F.A.T.E.S.' excuse to mingle. The setup appears overnight on the edge of town, a nonsensical mash of themes and places from the multiverse. Haunted house and circus tent, facepainting, ferris wheel and carousel, game stands that seem to self-operate, dozens of empty shopfronts, self-regenerating popcorn stands. Pretty soon, however, the people start to come, bringing their own goods and wares. The population of Xistentia is 333, which is more than enough people to fill a fair.
As far as fair food goes, there are penis-shaped waffles[NSFW] in various flavors, two-sticked popsicles for sharing with a partner, turkey legs, fried dough, cookies as big as your head, fried fish, fried lizards, glutinous fruits, and lembas.
And let's not forget, there is an abundance of alcohol everywhere. Beer, wine, you name it.
But of course, let's not forget the games. Many of them are low-key and prizes vary from the ability to change your daemon's color to any other natural hue, to free food, horrible writing pens, and stuffed animals. Games vary from whack-a-mole to bobbing for apples. Everything is free to eat, drink, and play, barring some excuses for barter with some of your friendly neighborhood natives.
Some games, however, are less casual if not necessarily more costly. The contests of finesse and strength come with special prizes from F.A.T.E.S. and...
Note that the "prizes" do not stack. Runner-up winners will not get multiple of the same type of prize, and those who experience a critical failure won't suffer particularly severe consequences. If your character receives a dream or a "unique item," you will receive a reply to your comment on the mod announcement with more information.
See also detailed dice roll information for: darts, ring toss, arm wrestling, high strike, and archery.
And what would a fair be, without a kissing booth?
Just like the rest of the fair, the odd thing is that there is of course no payment required.
Instead, a large and lovely lantern hangs behind the booth. It seems to glow a little brighter every time a kiss is transacted. It's hard to know exactly what this means, but considering that emotional intimacy lights the streets of the city, one might guess that F.A.T.E.S. is saving up this particular energy for something special.
But until then, it's a good excuse to make out.

Kissing Booth
And what would a fair be, without a kissing booth?
Just like the rest of the fair, the odd thing is that there is of course no payment required.
Instead, a large and lovely lantern hangs behind the booth. It seems to glow a little brighter every time a kiss is transacted. It's hard to know exactly what this means, but considering that emotional intimacy lights the streets of the city, one might guess that F.A.T.E.S. is saving up this particular energy for something special.
But until then, it's a good excuse to make out.

kissing booth!!
Skills, huh? ( a hand leans on the booth beside her, flirting thrusters are a gogo!! ) Color me interested.
kissing shep, a dream come true
Brown eyes shine in an almost coy way as she keeps them locked with Shepard's gaze. Her smile grows just a fraction at the redhead being 'interested.' ]
Skills indeed! I don't mean to brag or anything, but I'm a pretty impressive kisser. [ There are a lot a couple people at this very fair who could vouch for her. ] Though I guess that'll be up for you to assess.
[ Eyebrow waggle, before she leans in closer ready to pucker up and kiss those pretty lips. ]
a lucky ducky
Easy as that. Hell of a welcome party.
( but she can take the bait -- shepard isn't one to string anyone along. lifting her free hand, she cups rosie's cheek lightly before bending forward, pressing a very nice!! kiss on her mouth. it's not rauchy or anything -- purely friendly, although shepard can admit she likes the feeling of soft lips up against her own.
she touches rosie's lower lip with her thumb as she pulls back a bit, tilting her head. )
I guess the rumors are true. ( the lantern lighting a bit takes her attention. ) Anything for a good cause.
happy quacks
There's so many cute people here, it's honestly a bit of a problem. Though it doesn't seem to be a problem she minds having as she eagerly returns the affection; Rose, too, enjoys the softness of another woman's kiss. There's something so wonderful about it she can't quite place her finger on. Maybe she needs to kiss more ladies to make a proper assessment. That sounds like a solid plan.
She's a bit too distracted by that lingering touch to notice the lantern at first, but when she does- ] Oh, yeah. It's totally legit. But you're new, so. Probably not used to intimacy energy, huh?
no subject
Not at all. I've never heard of it before. ( a vague gesture to the lantern. ) If this entire world could be powered with hugs and kisses, I can't even think of what the economy must be like. Pretty good, I guess.
no subject
It's awesome, actually! Well. I think so. Not so sure some other people agree.
no subject
( why does it sound like she's implying sexually after that. she clears her throat. )
With this type of energy production.
no subject
A lot more than most people think, [ she's quick to offer,
batting her eyelashes ever so innocently. While her experience with woman is definitely less, she knows... enough to be confident in wooing another lady. ]
I'd be more than happy to help you out with getting the idea.
[ Less innocent, definitely. ]
