🎨 you were only waiting for this moment to arrive
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.

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!]
food...
[Rinku claps and smiles. Mecchan is out and on her shoulder, but is nervously clinging to her and looking around at the crowds.]
What did you wanna try eating? We can't pick.
no subject
[No one said it was a competition, Mary!]
And I wanna try some of the ramen, they said it was a challenge.
no subject
That sounds fun! Do you like spicy stuff? I dunno if I could take it, but --
[Mecchan warbles and shakes his head. Please don't make him eat the spice!]
Mecchan ;;
[This was a terrible idea.]
Have you tried anything like it?
no subject
[Mecchan makes a nervous cry and turns invisible on Rinku's shoulder. She blinks and turns her head.]
Eh? What's wrong?
no subject
[She hadn't realised yet that he had turned invisible, and not just disappeared!]
What's he so scared of?
no subject
[Mecchan stays invisible, but clings to Rinku and makes a nervous sound.]
Huh... So you don't wanna try the really spicy ramen, huh? Maybe we should eat something else.
no subject
Okay, okay, we can have something different. What do you think? There's loads of different sorts.
no subject
What kinda stuff did you like to eat at home? There's okonomiyaki, or fried vegetables, or corn on the cob, or whatever that thing is...
no subject
But, perhaps Rinku wouldn't be too surprised that the small child blurted out a predictable answer.]
Well, ice cream of course.
But I want to try some new things too.
no subject
art stall
Oh, these are really nice. Are you selling any of these?
[ The plan was to try and get one thing per stand, like the collector raccoon she is. ]
no subject
Mhm! Yes, if there's interest then I will happily um- talk about a price to sell them at.
['Negotiate' was a big word for a little kid okay?]
no subject
I'm definitely interested, so... how much are you willing to sell them for?
no subject
Luckily she was a decently quick thinker.]
Well- I was thinking the ones on the big canvases are 500 Moon Coins and the smaller ones are 300 Moon Coins.
...But you have to promise to treat them nicely, too.
[Added as an afterthought, but she did dwell on that point a moment. Her pieces didn't have the same sort of life in them as her Father's did, but she wanted to make sure they'd go to someone who'd treat them well, all he same.
She also couldn't help but think about what would come of her Father selling his own work...and what that would really mean.]
no subject
[ Stelle rocks on her heels a little bit, humming thoughtfully. It wasn't that she was uncertain about treating the art pieces well, far from it. ]
Of course. I'll buy one of each, if that's okay. I'll make sure to get them in really nice frames so they can go on my wall.
no subject
[That thought was a relief. She didn't want her paintings to be all alone.]
Okay! Let me know which ones you would like and I'll wrap them up safely.
no subject
[ She'll point out various ones, trying to pick unique ones that would work well together as a set. ]
exploring
Ah... are you accustomed to eating heavily spiced food?
[Look, he's all for experimentation of most kinds, but he doesn't want to stand by and watch a young girl get herself hurt...]
no subject
Do you think they say that because it tastes bad?
[Absolutely no concept of heavily spiced food at all.]
no subject
[He can smell it from here. It's making the back of his throat itch.]
It's spicy. The seasoning they use will make it burn your mouth.
no subject
It burns??
no subject
[Whoof. How does one explain spice to someone who apparently has no experience of it?]
It is more like a... hot sensation, but it can be very strong, and some people find it unpleasant or even painful. It won't injure you.
