@sxryashakti ♕ koi winter festival!

Geez, humans really do love festivals and gathering together, don’t they? The hustle and bustle of the festival leave the goddess exhausted, and really, a little silence is what she needs the most now. Ishtar finds herself wandering to the open space behind the game booths — ah, finally! A spot away from the crowd where she can temporarily rest at—— 

Wait, there’s someone here. Looks like she wasn’t the only one who had the brilliant idea of taking a break here. Out of curiosity, she moves closer to the other, only to see...

❝ Lancer. ❞ She greets him — a hint of bitterness in her voice. She hasn’t forgotten about their not-very pleasant first encounter, but since today’s a day of celebration, it would be a shame if she was to lose her temper. Relax, relax. Her gaze shifts to the boxes around him. ❝ Are those... Fireworks? ❞

❝ Where did you get them? No, what do you even have them for? Y—You don’t intend to blow this place up, do you?! ❞

          There were many events that Hinata really wanted to partake in, but he didn’t expect to participate in the Koi Winter Festival. The moment the letter slipped in his mailbox was the moment he felt a new array of hope. His eyes lit up with passion and excitement, and his heart accelerated faster than the seconds ticking. He slipped his phone from his pocket and texted Ruby—he spammed away many emoticons and exclamation points as he could before he sent the actual message of inviting her with him, asking her to come along. He wanted to find more time to spend with her, and now was the perfect opportunity. She was the one friend he trusted and met in Koi, someone that he wanted to hold onto dearly. And she wanted her to enjoy her time in Koi, without any worries or stress.           Although he gave her a specific time, he came earlier than expected. He was told it was good manners to meet up before the rest of the party.

                                                      But there was a slight problem.                                He was nervous. His nerves kicked in the moment he arrived.

          He hadn’t realized that this was considered a date until he talked to his mom about it. And now that he was actually here, and it was about to happen, he felt his heart was going to escape from his soul. Or was his soul going to escape from his heart? Either way, he was shaking while he was waiting at the entrance. He tried to ignore the small glances he got from strangers. Everyone was dressed up nicely for the ball that was going to happen, and the ball completely crossed Hinata’s mind. He’s never danced before. He’s never participated in events like this in his life. Not with a girl. Not once.

          He tapped his head, the small blue pendant dangling from his hair slightly bothered him, but it touched with his yukata. A mixture of black and blue, with a few hints of oranges. He kept fidgeting with the long sleeves that seemingly engulfed his tiny fracture. Everything came to a stop the moment he saw the fair maiden he was waiting on—no, she was a princess.

          ❛ R-Ruby-chan? Is that you? I almost didn’t recognize you! You look so pretty! ❜ he wasn’t sure when he transitioned from Kurosawa-san to Ruby-chan, but it was sometime recently. ❛ W-we have a while before the ballroom opens… i-i-if that’s what you want to do. The uh, lanterns are first, we should uh… find a spot! P-probably! ❜ he was still obviously shaking, and his mind had a hard time processing everything. This was all a dream. It must’ve been a dream… but he didn’t want that dream to end.

@upboundline liked for a festival starter!

Ashe-lin made her way through the ballroom, doing her best to create conversation as well as a good first impression. Being that she was born of a royal heritage- first impressions meant everything. Down to the start of an Ally or a future war. Now of course here the only threat to a bad first impression was a bad comment or two from a family dinner but still...she couldn’t simply push away her upbringing.

She finally ended to the side of the ballroom of which you could see the dancing in full view. Wow...so many people. She felt ashamed that she didn't have a partner to dance with, but on the same token...she did love to watch. Her mind got lost in the music like a lullaby and the laughing and dancing feet made her feel like she was dancing herself. She could feel the vibrations of the dancers through her heels. It was...soothing.

Her mind clicked when someone came up beside her- who wasn’t dancing. She turned to look at the male- wow, so tall. It reminded her of a friend she had back home- he was about the same height.

“Hi, there~!” She spoke to him, waving slightly with a grin on her face. “Are you enjoying the party?”

The area with the game booths is especially crowded but, nevertheless, the goddess finds herself wandering there. She supposes exploring this part of the festival would be a good idea, considering how she has yet to do so — though, really, she doubt she will actually play any of the games.

She scans the various games, bewildered at the kind of things humans enjoy doing for leisure — so humans think that popping balloons are fun, now? Why would they even—— Her train of thought is interrupted when she spots someone run up to her. Scarlet hues widen — who is this human? 

❝ Do you need something? ❞

@despairinversion ♕ koi winter festival!

❝ Wh—What?! A double-player game?! ❞ Anger flares in scarlet hues, as a hand is slammed on the booth — the audacity of these humans! Why would they insist that she has to get a partner to play this game when she is obviously talented enough to clear it herself? ❝ Quit looking down on me. I’m a goddess. I can beat this ridiculous game by mys—— ❞ 

What, they are still refusing her?!

Sighing in defeat, she spins around in an attempt to find another person she can rope into joining her. A certain redhead stands out from the crowd and easily catches her eye — she wonders if it’s because of his aura..?  Either way, he’s going to be her target. ❝ You there. Join me for this shooting game. ❞

❝ No isn’t an option! ❞

         The festival was full of life; Hinata could just feel the holidays bringing life in the air. And he wanted to enjoy it to its fullest potential. Or at least, he would enjoy it to the fullest, but something felt… strangely off.

         He couldn’t help but feel the thought of someone watching him. He’s felt this before in Koi, so he had a feeling it was common by now. But this time it felt different. And when he looked over to see who it could possibly be, he saw a girl staring right at him. Her eyes had a hint of familiarity… but he’s never actually met her before… was that—

          ❛ You’re Dia Kurosawa! ❜ he blurted out so loudly that he got quite a few stares around him, but thankfully the festival was bustling with loudness. At least he wasn’t hushed this time like at the library. He quickly walked on over to her. Was she the one watching him, or was he really just imagining it?

          ❛ I’m uh… I’m Hinata, Rub—Kurosawa-san probably talked about me, huh…? ❜ well this was nerve-wracking of a first meeting. ❛ Would you like to uh, walk with me, maybe? ❜

@schneeflake ♕ koi winter festival!

Weiss Schnee —— that is the name of the partner they assigned to her, isn’t it?

Truth to be told, she didn’t know much about her. Even though they had been living in the same unit for the past, say, two weeks or so, they barely interact — except the few times when Ishtar had to ask her where to get to certain places in the city. She seems like an elegant young lady, though — about the same age as the goddess’ vessel — so she supposes the other is not too shabby.

Ishtar spots her sitting on the sofa as she levitates her way out of her room. The other looks especially somber today — she wonders if it’s because of the event the city has announced? Maybe she has something against events, Ishtar wouldn’t know. ❝ The Winter Festival. You heard them announce it, didn’t you? ❞ A short pause. ❝ Are you intending to go? ❞

❝ Sounds to me like the humans are trying to find yet another excuse to gather again. Well, I don’t know what else I expected from them, though. ❞

          Hinata decided to take a break from the games for the festival today and instead, work on tying balloons. There were plenty of crafts to do just as there were games, and he didn’t have a chance to try everything yet. For someone so full of energy, one would think he’d done everything at the festival, but time was running out for the little crow.

          Speaking of crows, he really wanted to make one out of balloons, but it was too hard for him. He struggled with tying the latex balloons together. Somehow, one managed to make a loud ‘POP,’ causing everyone at his table to jump—including him.

          ❛ Ahhhgh I can’t do thiiiiiis…. ❜ He flopped his head on the table and watched the crowd of people wander. There was someone in the large crowd that he recognized, and his head immediately fwooped into proper position.

          ❛ Aaaaaaashe! Ashe’Lin-sensei! Over here! ❜ He waved her on over and patted the empty spot beside him, maybe she could help him out with a few things. They have grown close as friends recently.
