WHO: All interested parties
WHERE: Beltane/Mayday Festival
WHEN: Afternoon of April 30th ~ Afternoon of May 1st
SUMMARY: Saber and others have prepared for a festival for a certain holiday
RATING: PG-13 at the most

Goldenrod City has always been a fairly busy place, so the bustling to prepare for a festival doesn't necessarily go unnoticed, but it's not so out of the ordinary that the NPC's will stop to question it. Just another day in paradise. With the clouds in the sky and the swarm of firey Pokemon to a minimum, the temperature has sunk to a respectable level for a celebration. Throughout the day the festival and the people involved start to spark to life, the activity levels increasing. There are two large piles of wood waiting to be lit up, as well as various other decorations. Most of the colors of the area are a variety of red, orange, and yellow with sparse amounts of blue tossed throughout. While most of the decorations are made out of wood as well, there's a few water Pokemon on duty to keep things from getting out of trouble.

As well as a couple of other guardians. It would be difficult to sabotage such an event, but those who are brave enough to try will be met with chivalric ferocity.

Beltane is advertise as a festival to celebrate many things in different cultures. Don't worry, there's a handful of individuals around who are all too eager to explain what it means back home for them. Walpurgisnight for some, a festival for fertility for others, Mayday even. The date is significant enough to have many different meanings, so naturally a celebration must occur.

This is a festival that will last from the afternoon of April 30th to the afternoon of May 1st. There is a section set aside for tents and camping should people feel they want to stay overnight. Feel free to set up your own threads or post under the ones already set up. The tournament is going to be 'Round Robin' style. Fights can be hand-waved and feel free to use a RNG to determine the winner if there are any conflicts. The beauty contest will also be determined by RNG once all the participants have joined in. More details about both of those threads can be found in the linked sections. There is also a ribbon pole to dance around, various games like torch throwing, and other miscellaneous activities like face painting.

Let's not. It's really not that big a deal.

[ex_cashcow493]

It is not?

[ She may have already pulled out her PokeGear to begin telling the network about her new "breeding buddy"... ]

[riastrad_ridire]

Hey, hey, wait a second! Y-you don't want people getting the wrong idea, do you?!

[ex_cashcow493]

The wrong idea?

[ It's the latest version of the tapping game, isn't it? ]

[riastrad_ridire]

[y e p]

That's what I said.

[ex_cashcow493]

Are you ashamed with the concept of breeding with me, Lancer?

[riastrad_ridire]

No, but I don't want people to think we're actually the ones doing the breeding!

[ex_cashcow493]

Why would anyone think that, Lancer?

[riastrad_ridire]

Because you'll phrase it wrong.

[ex_cashcow493]

And people will understand me for I am a pure and devout lady.

[riastrad_ridire]

I really don't think they will.

[ex_cashcow493]

... Do you have something to say about my reputation, Lancer?

[ She still has two fairly high level and powerful Pokemon to blast you with. ]

[riastrad_ridire]

Not really, no. But I'm tellin' you people will get the wrong idea.

[ex_cashcow493]

And what will they think?

[riastrad_ridire]

Why don't you tell everyone and find out?

[ex_cashcow493]

If you insist...

[ Pulling that PokeGear back out again. ]

[riastrad_ridire]

[Go ahead. See if I care. I don't care.]

[ex_cashcow493]

[ Lancer.

She looks fourteen years old.

Is this a reputation he wants?? ]

[riastrad_ridire]

[DON'T CARE]

[THIS IS HIM NOT CARING]

[ex_cashcow493]

[ And now she's calling Shirou up. Because if anyone deserves to hear about this, it's him. ]

[riastrad_ridire]

[Shrug.]

[ex_cashcow493]

[ After a full conversation: ]

... He misunderstood me.

[riastrad_ridire]

Told you so.

[ex_cashcow493]

He thought that I meant the two of us would engage in something out of wedlock. [ Just in case Lancer missed that memo. ] Is that not the foolish thing you have heard?

[riastrad_ridire]

Saber, I tried to warn you. [Sigh.] You can't just phrase things like that, it's easy to misunderstand.
