Tana-baa-ta

[survivaltricks]

WHO: everyone!
WHERE: the pasture
WHEN: day 22, all day

[the morning of day 22 begins with a light drizzle, as has been typical for the past few days. but despite the damp weather, a playlist of music also echoes across the pasture, luring you towards the center!]

[there, you will find that someone has planted a large bamboo tree, which is surrounded by wooden tables that are covered with colorful slips of paper and pens. a colorful sign, decorated with random doodles of stars, clouds, suns, and other fun shapes, contains a set of instructions:]

WELCOME TO TANABATA!

WRITE A WISH ON A PIECE OF PAPER AND TIE IT TO THE BAMBOO TREE.

HAVE FUN!

[the music and the bamboo wishing tree are a great start to the festival, but other people have been hard at work to make this a day to remember, right?]

[it's time to celebrate Tana-baa-ta!]

((FEEL FREE TO MAKE YOUR OWN TOP LEVELS IN THIS POST AS WELL! I made a few to get things going, but you should all run wild and free and thread to your heart's content ♥))

No better time to start practicing.

Guess so. Maybe I'll go give it a shot later.

Yeah, come win prizes! What else do you wanna try? Wanna go check out all the free food stalls?

[i can be your poison tester again plz eat something]

[wants_the_phd]

Well, it'd be a shame to let all this good fare go to waste.

[or let everyone else have all the food to themselves.]

There's a lot here I haven't tried before.

Makes sense if you haven't had a chance to hunt down many of the weird animals here. We'll have to sample everything.

I'm sure something in here is sweet enough for you to enjoy.

Since it's a special occasion I'll give the less sweet stuff a try. Like takoyaki! Let's go get takoyaki first.

I'm not familiar with it, but I heard it has octopus in it...?
