WHO: people!!
WHAT: arts festival
WHEN: late apr! forward dated a couple of days
WHERE: amberfall
WARNINGS: none for now!
Introduction
Welcome one and all toooooo the Titanic Dome!
This year's arts festival is a lot more ambitious than last year's, what with its giant venue that can house most of Ellipsa's population! Just like last year's, it is a festival by otherworlders for otherworlders, but it's definitely garnered a lot of attention that locals have come, too.
Despite it being a venue for fighting and combat and whatnot, the hallways that line the arenas are definitely prime areas for putting up booths and exhibits. Of course, the won't just be used for fighting this time around, too! It's definitely a creative way of using the venue. Granted, it's a little farther from the city as people do have to teleport to access the area, but what's a little adventure? Everyone is guaranteed safety here despite it being in the middle of two segments as there's security around, so even civilians and those local to Ellipsa have come to enjoy the festivities.
Everyone who participates is given a nice paper arm band like what people are made to put on in amusement parks. The bands aren't something everyone is required to wear, at least, and they can even stop by the booth nearby and decorate their arm bands! Show your support of your favourite fighter, or maybe you're a fan of one of the performers? Either way, it's definitely a good way to show you're on someone's side!
Food, Talents, and Exhibits
🎵 As otherworlders enter the dome, they'll be greeted with the sights of various booths and aromas of the bustling food stalls, some run by familiar faces you might know. Ayaka and Yoimiya have made sure there's plenty of food for visitors to eat while they walk around and partake in the festivities. From barbeque burgers and hotdogs to taco stands, to dumplings of all varieties, never-ending desserts and drinks, a plethora of goodies await those who are hungry. There's even a ramen food truck and for the more brave souls who wish to take on a challenge, featured on the menu is an appropriately named, devil's ramen. Nearby is a taiyaki ice cream stand for those who need to cool off their scorched tongues.
One of the main attractions is the talent showcased by the otherwordlers themselves. Strewn across the park are various stalls and art exhibits. A blacksmith booth with samples and sketches of all sorts of weapons is run by Jean. Works of art from Mary, Tau, Albedo, Kaeya, Jinhai, Rapunzel, and dioramas from Caster are featured. There are also other fun stalls such as magical face painting from Jinhai, and a crafts booth run by Rapunzel who is also giving out complimentary cupcakes. (While supplies last!) Come visit and have a chat with everyone while you admire their works if they happen to be around.
Inside the arena proper sits a dazzling stage stage for everyone to come watch the talents. Like last year, Ren Jinguji takes on the role of host, introducing everyone, hosting games, and even performing himself! All of the performers are stars in their own rights, showcasing their singing, acting, dancing, and instrumental capabilities. Pull up a chair or blanket, and come watch some showstopping performances! Everyone has worked so hard to make this a fun, joyous occasion.
Talent scouts, as well as other professionals native to Ellipsa, are present during the festival, as well. Any performers, if they do well? May end up being approached by these people at some point, and be given an opportunity to go big in the future!
Tournament
The schedule of festivities can be found via pamphlets and in various social media platforms. There are also screens around the dome that show what event is happening now and what event will happen soon!
The Flower Cup games all happen at the start of the tournament, on the first day. Each game is done one after the other, where contestants either line up on stage for the push-ups contest or down on the ground of the arena itself for the animal transformation race. These games serve as a warm-up for the audience to get their blood pumping and for their competitive spirits to light up!
After that, some talents are asked to come up on stage, whether it's a group acting a lighthearted romcom, playing the lyre, singing songs, or performing a "magic" show! Entertainment is at is finest–where so many forms of art come together to make people happy and inspire them. And after half of the talents that have signed up perform, Ren gets back on stage to announce that the Tournament is about to begin!
It's the Seasons Cup first before the Rainbow Cup, and it's towards nighttime that the Rainbow Cup actually happens. What's more, only the eliminations happen on the first day, creating so much hype and suspense for the following day.
Because of how big the tournament has become, many locals have even formed fanclubs of the participants. It hasn't even been a couple of hours, and there are already all kinds of merch of the participants that can be found in the various booths around the dome! Is that a body pillow cover of Hijikata?! Wait- is that E'kayan's face on a mug? Hang on! There are posters of Minato already?! People sure do work fast… There are even a bunch of very muscular men in speedos jogging around the arena come nighttime, all cheering for their Lovely Miss Yoimiya! People are going crazy for just about everybody who's come up on to fight, that much is for certain!
Come the second day of the festival though, more talents take the stage once more, some with their guitar, some with just their own equipment to sing and dance, and some to even eat a giant chicken! There are so many more acts prepared for the second day and everyone is hype for it! But what is more hype is the grand finale for the Seasons Cup and the Rainbow Cup.
Someone might have even rented a blimp just to drive a message by to cheer for Tartaglia! And let's not forget the one fan who's been distributing free bananas as a tribute to MK for the finals…
Of course, the participants do! Not! Disappoint! From day one until the last day of the festival, everyone has fought so well and has displayed so much showmanship. Right before dinner time, Ayaka comes on stage for the first time, introduces herself, and awards the champions and runner-ups with their trophy and a flower crown to wear. Prize money are credited to their accounts by the end of the week.
Before anyone can go, though…? There's still the closing ceremony to spectate!
Festival End
In Naganohara Yoimiya fashion, a festival is never complete without a barrage of fireworks. Together with Tartaglia, the two have prepared a dazzling light show to close off the festival with a bang. A series of fireworks representing each of the seasons start things off, pink sakura petals for spring, yellow suns for summer, red maple leaves for autumn, and blue snowflakes for winter. Next, star shaped meteors blitz across the sky, a representation of the otherwordlers who came from distant worlds. And last but certainly not least, the couple finishes off the show with a swarm of their signature mini goldfish and narwhals that swim around in the sky together until they explode into a beautiful array of orange and blue. Another exciting year for the Arts Festival has come to pass, one that is sure to be filled with fun memories.
Now that festivities have shimmered down, the organisers begin the clean up and the stall owners make their preparations to go home and close up. If you have some time to spare, feel free to lend a hand. The dome is still open to those who just want to wind down for the evening, various tables and chairs around the corridors for resting.

i'm sorry
Even while watching her, it's not particularly clear how she does it - did she unhinge her jaw? Whatever the method, that the chicken has been Devoured is undeniable. The crowd applauds politely.
Adoring fans (???) can find her after her turn is over, browsing the Hijikata merch at one of the booths.]

[Rinku and her DJ set are back! She's got a good mix of original songs and remix covers, from anime songs to local hits to maybe your song if you're also a performer. She's changing around the music, adding her own vocals, and dancing and cheering while she does.
What's with the DJ booth, though?]
How are we doing, Ellipsa? I hope you're all having fun!
[food]
[Rinku is starry-eyed at all the food stalls, looking aimlessly and excitedly between the stalls for ramen, donuts, hot dogs, curry, or whatever other festival food you can think of.]
Wooow! Yoi-chan and Ayaka-chan really went all out getting all these places... Hey, what should I pick? I wanna try everything, but I can't eat everything, so I gotta pick one!
[shopping]
[The handicraft stalls are exciting!! I mean, everything's exciting to Rinku, but she's buzzing between them all and contemplating. You might find her at a jewelry stand...]
Hmm... Do you think it'd work the same if we used those gem enhancement spells we just learned on these? Or should I just use the normal spell for turning any regular thing into a defence buff?
[Or maybe at a pet supply stand contemplating home-baked banana biscuits for your dog.]
I know he's a lizard, but I wonder if Mecchan would like these.
[fireworks]
[In the night, Rinku watches the fireworks with a bag of popcorn and a blinding aura of excitement. She claps and cheers, then looks up at you.]
This was even better than last year! Like way better! Right?

[He might have been easy to miss in the crowd while she was DJing (though maybe the orange hair and cat ears would stand out) but he reaches her side just in time to get the comment on the fireworks. E'kayan looks up instinctively, watching another few explosions burst out overhead, then he grins a little.]
You know what, you might be right. And your set was really fun to watch earlier.

Mary | Ib | Summer
Wow! There really is a lot of people, isn't there?
[Mary was a little overwhelmed by the crowd. She'd never seen so many people in one place before! Her new droopy-eared Mimikyu friend stayed close at her side, skittering around from time to time, but never too far away.
She had her own little stall set up, with drawings of Ellipsa's surreal scenery, and people and animals she had befriended along the way. Many of them with crayon, but she'd started experimenting with coloured pencils and different types of paint, too. Despite being pretty young, she certainly had some talent!
Of course, she has copies of the art calendar she worked on earlier in the year available too.]
[Exploring]
Oh, what's that? Mimi, come on, let's go look.
[Trainer and Pokémon could be found running around the other exhibits and exploring later on in the day, and of course, this included trying some of the delicious food.
Only problem was... she was curiously eyeing up that spicy challenge ramen. This was probably a bad idea!]

[Rinku claps and smiles. Mecchan is out and on her shoulder, but is nervously clinging to her and looking around at the crowds.]

Caster | Fate/Stay Night (UBW) | Summer (Avalon CRAU)
This is a little embarrassing... still, I did sign up for this, I suppose.
[Caster had decided against fighting. Although she was confident that she would be more than capable of holding her own with her overwhelming magic... she was tired. And fighting hurt.
Besides, she didn't have to battle so hard anymore, did she? Not for her wishes- or for a show like this- so she told herself she could afford to relax and take a step back.
It was for that reason that she'd got a stall set up for herself, and brought along a collection of home made dioramas- with a couple of bottled ships to round things out.
She'd set up a decent variety. From more Japanese inspired scenes like a zen garden or traditional shrine, to things a little closer to her homeland like the ruins of a Greek temple and something that was, perhaps, as close as she could get to an ancient palace from Colchis back in her time.
Not that she expected anyone to recognise that.]
...Well, I wonder what will come of this? If anyone teases me for such things I will be sure to curse them.

Mukuro Ikusaba | Danganronpa | Autumn (Emp/Avalon CRAU)
It's strange, fighting for a crowd.
[Mukuro rotated her shoulders, setting her focus on her opponent as she readied herself to fight. True, the one place she felt confident in her abilities was on the battlefield- but this situation had a very different energy to it. In a strange way, she was glad she'd gotten used to it from the fashion shows she'd put on in Avalon.
Well. Time to see if the Ultimate Soldier could live up to her title.]
...I won't hold back.
[Merchandise...?]
[It did not take Mukuro long to realise that, well, anyone who was competing was getting a lot of attention. And by the time Day 2 rolled around...
The barrage of merchandising had well and truly begun.
And so, soon enough, she could be found staring in bewilderment and horror at the sight of a load of merch of herself.]
Me, but-... isn't this more Junko's thing...?
[Her sister was a famous model, so surely this was normal for her. But she'd certainly never been given this sort of treatment! No one would want merchandise of a plain and ugly battle-junkie, as Junko would put it, right?]
[ooc: Of course, she'll also be around at the award ceremony and backstage during tournament time, should anyone want to cheer her on/congratulate her!]

Nanohana "Hana" Kanazaki | Original Character | Summer
Nanohana was nervous. This was the first time she's ever shown off something like this to anyone in this world. Heck, it's the first time she's done this since she bailed from Project PREDESTINY. But, decked out in a shiny outfit, she made her way to the stage, stopping her wheelchair midway and stepping out with her cane. Hitting a button on her headset, she called out to the audience.
"Hello, everyone! Are you having fun?! I hope I can keep the momentum going!"
And Nanohana would start singing, cheerful songs that she had once tossed aside. And, for the first time in awhile, she felt alive.
Food
And after the singing, Nanohana just had to try out the meals being offered. Very much less sweet stuff than back home, but it all looked very good. Well, except for that Devil's Ramen. She's sure if she ate that, she'd be paralyzed again!
So, she'll be wandering the various booths, munching on a hot dog as we did, stopping every once in awhile to get herself resituated with her cane.
"Ooof, I'm way out of shape..."

While Ren is the host, he's also just your regular attentee of the festival. Which is why he can be found admiring either the booths or watching the performances among the regular crowd.
This year he only has one solo performance, since he didn't want to put too much on his plate this year.
Of course, he's also in the backstage, making sure all performers are doing well and are hydrated enough.
backstage
[Rinku bounces on her heels as she takes some water.]
They all got super excited, I bet you made the whole audience smile! And the special effects were cool too! Did you use magic?
After the show/intermission
Rise "Risette" Kujikawa | Persona Series | Spring
[Rise is up on stage, microphone in hand as she waves to the crowd.]
Hello everyone, it's your Risette here on stage, bringing you my original song, True Story!
You've got yourself, behind a door, deep inside your heart again!
You want to hide, you want to come out, going round and round!
Thinking hard about it, doesn't help you one bit! Say Hello! (Hello)
You've got to say goodbye to thousand lies, yeah!
Shout, friends! Just those words you really mean!
And let your voice be heard all over the world!
Stand up when you hear the knock on the door!
It's me, come on out! Get ready for your True Story!
[Rise can be found backstage after her performance, water bottle in hand and toweling down her face.]
Toshirou Hijikata | Gintama (Prismatica & Isle of Avalon CRAU) | Summer
A)
[The Titanic Dome, it turns out, is the perfect venue for the festival. What could get people more hyped up for the tournament than the gigantic arena setting? Hijikata, for one, can hardly wait for the battles to begin! Before it's time for that, though (and afterwards, too!), he's at leisure to look through the exhibits, paper armband decorated with a mayonnaise jar pin. He'll definitely visit the stalls manned by his friends and acquaintances, but chances are he'll also get curious about the works of someone he doesn't know!]
Business is going well, I hope, with such a crowd? What's your own favourite piece you've made?
B)
[He'll be cheering on anyone he knows (or doesn't know, because these are all talented people) performing onstage! When he catches them afterwards, he's still be pumped from the show.]
Good work! You've really got no stage fright at all, do you?
2) Tournament
A) (for
[It seems that Hijikata and his sworn brother Jean will be opening the Seasons Cup with their duel!! He grins with excitement as he faces his opponent. He and Jean have trained, sparred and quested together countless times; they know each others strengths, weaknesses, and fighting styles... but even so, they may just surprise each other! Hijikata makes a salve of fireballs shoot up into the air behind him to get the crowd even more fired up before the start of the round.]
Let's set a high bar for the others, shall we, Jean?
B)
[Hijikata may have lost to Jean, but it was a fun and fair battle, and he's proud of the younger man for how strong and inventive he's become. Watching him advance along with his other sworn silbings Mukuro and (in the Rainbow Cup) Shoto, he cheers loudly while waving fan-made flags and coloured lights! Of course, everyone else puts on impressive fights, too, so he'll have praise to spare regardless of whom he runs into after a given round.]
Well done!! If everyone here fought like you, we'd have no monsters left in the Segments!
Festival End
A)
[Yoimiya's fireworks are always spectacular, and once again Hijikata enjoys the sparkling display in the sky, feeling nostalgia for Earth and Prismatica and Avalon, and at the same time so happy to be here on Ellipsa right now. He smiles when he sees the goldfish and narwhals that close out the show. Having fought alongside both Yoimiya and Tartaglia, he recognises those from their Vision magic!]
It wouldn't be the same without fireworks, would it? If more people have the guts to sign up for the tournament next year, maybe we can stretch the festival over four days!
B)
[While Hijikata's joy for the tournament winners was sincere, it did sting his samurai pride to get eliminated in the opening round, and given that he's consequently had a little too many drinks, his mood gradually crumbles once the fireworks are over and the cheerful atmosphere dissipates as the festival slowly wraps up. While abmirable volunteers clean up the place (with or without the aid of cleaning spells), he can be found slumped in one of the countless spectator seats, smoking a few cigarettes at once.]
I thought I was doing fine, but... maybe I'm getting old. My birthday is in less than a week... this time, it'll be serious, you know?
[Whom is he even talking to?]
1B
[The Sobble in question is out now, however, perched on Rinku's shoulder and carefully eating a corn dog so it doesn't drop.]
You really liked it? How was the song selection?

Tsukasa Tenma | Project SEKAI: Colorful Stage | Summer
You're here for my autograph?
[Tsukasa has prepared for this! Without waiting for a response, he already brandishes a pen and writes his autograph with great flourish, offering it out with a pleased smile. After his performance in Wonder✩Blooming's romcom, he lingers behind to talk to anyone in the audience and network.]
What did you think of my performance? I handled well if I do say so myself.
Part 2
[Of course a serious actor and future star takes all the opportunities offered to learn from others. Even if they're singing, or doing other performances, he can still learn from them. When he's not acting in his own show, Tsukasa is watching the other shows.]
I see...everyone seems to understand how they work together intuitively. They must have rehearsed tirelessly to get to this point.
[He applauds when enthusiasm when it's over, approaching one of the performers.]
Excuse me! I enjoyed your show! Could I ask you a few questions?
Tournament
[Proudly holding his E'kayan mug and a bowl of devil's ramen, Tsukasa is ready for the Rainbow Cup!]
Why did I order this...?
[He had been distracted and hadn't meant to! But he was hungry and now there was no going back. He tries not to grimace at the spicy broth and noodles.]
Mn! This is certain to fire me up for the tournament. Okay. Here I go.
[He slurps up the noodles and immediately freezes. His face is a suspicious shade of bright red, but he tries to smile through the pain.]
This is...delicious...

Sure! What all did you wanna know?

Kaeya Alberich | Genshin Impact | Summer
[Kaeya was not exactly thrilled to be doing this. It wasn't because he was nervous of showing off his work (although he was to a degree, how could he not be?), but it was largely the attention. He wasn't entirely fond of having attention, rather it was due to his actions or not. It had been a rare thing when he showed the network his ability to use a fire sword, but even that had been nerve wracking and that was over the network! This was with real people!
And yet, Albedo and Mary managed to convince him to put up a booth next to theirs with his amateur photography work on display. He had more in a photo album next to the display. A lot of it was similar to what was shown. Largely candid photos of people, usually those he knew, or of the different areas of the cities and segments. It was truly whatever caught his eye. So, it was more than understandable that he was outright nervous as he sat at the booth, leg bouncing a bit. Of course, aside from that, it was hard to actually discern that Kaeya was anxious.
Whenever someone approached, he gave off a smile and a nod.]
Hello there.
Food
[Eventually, Kaeya needed a break from all the people and also he needed a snack. He could be found a bit off the beaten path, sitting on a blanket near a tree with the performers in the background. A snack and a show, why not? There was a to-go box of BBQ pork dumplings and taro dumplings for dessert. Both were still quite warm as he bit into the BBQ dumpling first, a cup of wine balanced on top of the closed box of taro dumplings.
While he may have picked this spot in order to not be in the crowd of other spectators, Kaeya wasn't opposed to company.]
An eclectic set of performers, aren't they?
Photography
[The Harbinger enters into the stall, surprised to see the Cavalry Captain, but also seemingly pleased at the same time. It's good to see others from home out and about showcasing their talents...he's doing that too, but it's just in the tournament.]
I hadn't expected the Knights of Favonius to have a booth here today. Artwork and photography, huh?
[He takes a look at one of the candid shots that Kaeya's got up, humming with satisfaction at it.]
Not bad. Who's responsible for this picture?

Food
Firefly | Honkai: Star Rail | Spring
[Food was always what drew Firefly in when she explored Penacony. She wasn't some connoisseur, and she isn't really obsessed with food or anything, but taste was something that her illness couldn't reach. Her body may slow down at times, but she could still process flavors just like anyone else. So she'd made it a goal for herself in the Dreamscape; though she had her favorites that she'd often return to, Firefly did her best to try as many different restaurants as she could while she was still able to explore Golden Hour.
So when she saw the advertisements for the festival and all the food stalls set up, how could she resist? Her eyes shine brightly as she wanders the stalls, snacking here and there, just taking in everything...
... Until she passes the ramen stand, and spots the specialty advertised. And certainly, Firefly is no fool, but... a challenge she can take as herself? Maybe she could try, at least!
That's what leads Firefly to where she is now; at a table set up nearby the stand, setting a steaming bowl of devil's ramen in front of her. She's not going to back down. She has to keep pushing forward, no matter what her goal is.
... And yet...]
... Even the broth is red...
[... Okay, it's a little intimidating.]
[B; Fireworks]
[As the sun sets and the air cools, Firefly can feel the exhaustion of the day settling into her bones. She's tired, but not in the way she so often is when she spends too much time outside on her own. It's an ache, but... a nice one. One that she knows will come before a good sleep.
But she can't think of sleeping right now. Not when the first fireworks whistle across the sky and burst to life. She can feel it straight through her chest, pushing back against the chill of the night, and as the next volley of scenes shine bright against the dark sky, so too do Firefly's eyes shine with wonder.]
Amazing...! Is it magic that gives the fireworks shape like that??

Fireworks
Rapunzel • Summer
[Out of the large variety of stalls that have been put together by the otherworlder's there's one (possibly one of several) that seems to have a variety of different crafts on display. From small bits of handmade pottery to a few paintings, some scenic landscape art, even a few knit works. The pottery makes up the larger portion of the art, but nothing is quite as bright and cheerful as the woman manning the stall. Or her small collection of critters (Is that a duck lying in a dog bed next to a pokemon egg and a purple long-necked-chicken??).
Her hair, even bundled as it is, comes down to her ankles, decorated with flowers. She's wearing a comfortable looking sundress, and when she's not busy helping someone visiting the stall she's sitting down on a large bean bag, rather than a chair, sketchbook in hand and an array of colored pencils. One is in hand as she sketches out something or someone from the crowd. Feel free to ask about it!
There was no way she was going to miss this opportunity, so when the chance presented itself she decided to break outside of her old "comfort zone" and focus on less edible arts. Oh- but those are represented, too! There's a large food container off to the side in the area where her personal seating is, and on a table displaying several drawings of flowers and candid colorful sketches from around town there's a spinning tray holding a bounty of colorful cupcakes. There are some that are simply decorated and pastel colored, right down to their wrappers, but most of them are themed around the four seasons: winter, spring, summer, and autumn.
The pottery ranges from dinnerware to vases, and all of them painted by hand. There's even a water jug...? Well. In any case, the showcase has plenty to see for inquisitive visitors. Stop by and get yourself a free cupcake (They're pretty standard cupcakes, so those with allergies beware!), or maybe see about picking up something as a keepsake while you're here!
If none of that is enough to catch your attention, then as you're walking past amidst a group of others (whether you're a part of the group or just happen to be moving in the same direction at the same time as them) you may hear her calling out with an inviting voice to anyone who'll listen.]
Pottery commissions and free cupcakes here! One per visitor!
[A sign has been posted in Rapunzel's stall: "Stepping out for lunch! Be back soon!" with a time given. She's giving herself just two hours to take it all in, because by now she's kind of a pro at taking it all in pretty quickly, and there's always the possibility of closing up early, whenever the cupcakes run out. Right now she wants to see what others have on display before everything shuts down!Oh wow...! It's like someone's painting in the sky! Isn't it beautiful? How amazing would it be to be able to use the entire sky for your canvas?
fireworks
[Rinku bounces on her heels and nods excitedly at Rapunzel.]
Yoi-chan works really hard at her fireworks, they're super good! Oh, you should've seen the show at her and Taru-san's housewarming party! There was one huge one like a dragon, and it even moved around! Oh, except it kinda got out of control and almost hit me, but I'm fireproof, so it's okay. And they've fixed that now, so we can just watch and have fun!

Rui Kamishiro | Project Sekai
[Rui is satisfied with the play he and his troupe were able to put on, especially after loosing two members. He has a smile on his face as he replays the play in his head.]
I wonder what kind of show we should put on next~
II. Watching
[Rui spends a lot of his time watching the other acts. If nothing else, its good inspiration.]
Everyone here is quite skilled, don't you think?
III. Wandering
[Now that his troupe's performance is over, he has his face painted, and is looking for festival food. If he sees someone with something yummy looking, he'll approach them.]
Oh, where'd you get that?
IV. Fireworks
[After such an exciting day, its nice to find a spot to sit and watch the fireworks.]
How wonderful~ Its too bad my theater's indoors...I think it would be interesting to incorporate fireworks like this into a show! Don't you think?

Xinyan | Genshin Impact
[Xinyan had performed a solo guitar set in the style of Rock n Roll. While there were no lyrics as coming up with such things were a bit harder for her than melodies, she still seemed to invigorate the audience. What more could she want?
She keeps her guitar with her as she joins the crowd in front of the stage and waits for the next act to start.]
Ah! That was awesome! It felt amazin' ta be back on a stage!
II. Festival Food
[Xinyan is exploring the art exhibits with an arm full of festival food.]
Good art and great food! This is makin' me wanna play again! Talk about inspired!
III. Fireworks
[Xinyan is actually pretty quiet while she watches the fireworks, awe apparent on her face.]
I gotta learn how ta make those.
IV. Clean Up
[Xinyan may not have been signed up to help clean up, but she's volunteering her time anyway. She has a couple boxes in her arms.]
Hey, d'ya know where these go?
Fireworks, but maybe after the show is over since he was setting them off with Yoi?
And who he finds while doing so is just the person he was looking for- Xinyan!]
Hey, Xinyan!
[He calls out to her, waving a hand in greeting.]
I saw your performance earlier, sorry I wasn't able to catch you afterwards.
