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.

no subject
Oooh, she ain't about to take that sitting down... even if she's the one that started it. ]
Wrong answer!
[ Just before he makes it to the ending, she closes the book and tucks it underneath her arms like a greedy dragon hoarding precious gemstones. What even is this bratty childish tit-for-tat about???? ]
no subject
So when she shouts and closes the book to hide it away from him, it his eyes go wide and he exclaims-]
Wuh-? Hey! What's the deal, Yoimiya?!
[Not like he didn't know it would probably rile her up a little, so the surprise isn't all that surprising really.]
You're just trying to pick a fight with me now, aren't you?
[HE'S TRYING TO FIGHT HIS OWN GIRLFRIEND]
no subject
Oh? Isn't fighting your favorite thing in the world? Here I thought you thrived being in the heat of battle.
[ To add fuel to this childish fire, she glances at him from over her shoulder and declares war, pulling her eyelid down and sticking her pink tongue out at him. If he wants to read the ending, Ajax has to beat the final boss: his own girlfriend.
BRING IT ON BOYFRIEND! SHE WILL 🔥 HAMSPAR 🔥 WITH YOU ALL DAY EVERY DAY!! ]
no subject
What's with that look????!!!! His jaw drops with indignation, instantly plotting his revenge and how he's going to get the smut comic from her so he can finish reading it while making her beg for mercy.]
Oh ho, so that's how you want to play it, huh? Then if you're perfectly aware of what you're getting into, let's have our duel right here, right now.
[There isn't a second of hesitation before he uses both of those arms and hands wrapped right around her middle to dig into her sides to start to tickle her, holding on tight so she can't get away and hiding his face in her back so she can't hit it.]
no subject
Grinning from ear to ear, Yoimiya casually sits in her spot looking way too smug for her own good, she's got the smut book tightly tucked underneath her arm so if he wants it, he has no choice but to fight for it. But despite the bratty back and forth, she's looking forward to seeing how her man is going to get his way. And he does so in the most devious way possible, using her biggest weakness against her... the dreaded tickle attack. GASP-P! Not even seconds into the assault, she feels herself losing control of her body, her giggles turn into a full-blown laugh attack. ]
Hey! Ajax...! Hehe... hahahahaha...! You....! Hahahahaha, now you're just playing dirty!
[ She's trying to slither her way out of this but his strong arms are so tightly wrapped around her middle that wiggling is practically impossible. And not only that!! The sneaky fox has the AUDACITY to hide his face behind her back so she can't even reach over to pinch his nose. >:l
Little does she know, her arm that's been holding onto the book slowly rises up, giving him access to his coveted prize; hand-drawn Yoi tiddy. ]
no subject
But this seems like the most effective way of getting the book back.]
Like the old Ellipsa saying goes, all's fair in love and war, Yoimiya-!
[He can sense how her arm shifts just so, meaning the book should be loosening from under all the wriggling she's doing. Good...he continues his tickle attack, waiting for the right moment to strike...and...
There it is!
He quickly grabs it once it's jostled loose enough and where her arm no longer has the strength to hold onto it due to his assault, quickly slipping it out from under it to claim his prize. Of course, he can't stay here, so he quickly stands up and walks away while opening the comic book up to where he left off, humming to himself in victory~]
Goodness, that's kind of hot...Mmmmmm....
[He's going to read it without her!!!!]
no subject
This guy... THIS GUY!!!! He even has the gall to talk about how hot it is without her. He's looking at her tits plastered all over the page WITHOUT HER!! ]
HEY!!!
[ Shouting after him, Yoimiya chases after him with loud stomps of her feet, and quickly catches up, huffing and puffing right behind him. ]
Give it back you thief! I was the one who purchased that book! You weren't even all that interested in reading it with me, you only changed your stinky attitude once you saw my boobs.
[ SHE WANTS TO READ IT TOO!!! >:c ]
no subject
C'mon, I'm not allowed to change my mind? I was perfectly content to reading it alongside you until you took it away for no reason.
[Not acknowledging her magic word demand at all!]
Now, if you play nice, I'll sit back down with you and we can read it together again.
[(* ^ ω ^)]
no subject
sexysmug smirk at her, then an actual brawl might break out AND THAT'S STILL PLAYING RIGHT INTO HIS HANDS SO, EITHER WAY, HE'S GONNA COME OUT THE WINNER!!ヽ(#`Д´)ﾉ !!!!!!
Caught between a rock and a hard place, Yoimiya concludes that if she wants to have her way then some compliance is necessary. After letting the longest sigh of resignation, she wraps her arms around his middle and nuzzles her face into his back. ]
Fine... [ GRUMBLEGRUMBLEGRUMBLE ] I suppose I can consider it... I have been a pretty bad girl today.
[ There's definitely some extra emphasis on the bad girl part of her wording. To make further amends, she deliberately presses that soft Yoi tiddy he loves so much against his back. ]
What can I do to make it up to my dear sweet Ajax?
no subject
...would be a phrase spoken too soon.
He should've known she wasn't going to give in that easily.
Tartaglia's eyebrow raises at her question, her emphasis on being a bad girl, the feel of her boobs pressing against him...oh, ok. He gets what's she's trying to pull here, and now it's just deciding on if she's trying to trick him or not or if she's being completely genuine and she's just horny.]
Make it up to me? Huh, well, let's see...
[His voice trails off, teasing her as if there might be a chance he doesn't accept this olive branch she's offering. But the reality is, as nice as having the art of Yoimiya in his hands is, the real thing can't be beat, and he'd rather be able to sink his teeth into his real girlfriend and not some fictional version of her.]
I could take what you're offering me right now, if you'd like to head home soon.
no subject
And those cards include Yoimiya keeping her body pressed against his back as she purposely slides her chest upwards while maneuvering herself to stand on her tiptoes. ]
If that's what you want, we can head home right now and maybe reenact a few scenes from that book...
[ Leaning in close to whisper promises of what's to come, her hot breath tickles the shell of his ear to further entice him into her honeytrap. ]
But we'll do it better, won't we? That artist has no idea how creative the two of us can be.
no subject
So he affords her a low, husky gurgle of a groan that sounds like he tried to fight it back but was largely unsuccessful, hoping she'll take the bait.]
Mmmmmmm...sounds like I should study that book a little more and see how I can improve on their ideas.
[He keeps his grip on the book, wanting to see how she'll respond and react to that statement.]
After all, I'd be devastated if I were unable to please you properly.
no subject
She's not sure if that husky growl was on purpose or a part of his scheme but either way, she likes what she's hearing. Ajax's voice alone has the power to ignite something within her, causing her already wild imagination to run all over the place. She places a soft kiss on the back of his neck before nuzzling her face into his shoulder. ]
Then why don't we read it together? I'd also like to study it so I can please you all night long.
[ She sees his grip on the book tightening, it'd be stupid to try and snatch it from someone with herculean strength, she'd lose in an instant. So for now, she'll do her best to act like a 'good girl' and earn his favor. ]
You said if I played nice, you'd read it with me...
[ There's a notable pout in her voice as she attempts to up the cute factor. Pwease read with her? Pretty pwease? 🥺 ]
no subject
Even her voice is enticing, but even so he's glad that he's got her back to her in this moment- when she reminds him of his promise, his expression goes completely flat.
He...did say that.]
Yes...
[Sighing in resignation, he'll need to figure out a way to walk this line without breaking his promise to her.]
And I will, when we return home. But for now, I think I'll keep this with me, to ensure you don't go running off with it.
[It's not even so much that he cares anymore if she takes it- he's more interested in if she'll accept this deal or not.]
no subject
Although the naughty blonde didn't get quite what she wanted, his sigh of resignation does feel like a small victory has been achieved and at this point, she'll take what she can get. Either way, they'll both feel like winners once they return home. ♥ ]
Fiiiiine... [ Don't mind the one last grumble. ] Then I promise I won't go running off with it so long as you keep your end of the bargain. But I trust you, you're a man who takes his promises veeeery seriously.
[ She says with a hint of mischief in one last ditch effort to manipulate him into doing her bidding, knowing full well Ajax will never go back on his promises.
This little imp knows exactly what she's doing... ]
no subject
[But he's been around the block more than once. He can see the flaw in just agreeing to this. Maybe, nine months ago, he would have fallen for this trick, but now he knows better just in case this is Yoimiya's plan.]
However, you need to promise me you'll read it along with me as well.
[Just because he said he'd read it along with her doesn't mean she said she'd do it. Going to close that loophole right now!]
If you can promise me that too, you can have it back.
no subject
Of course, I wanted to read it with you to begin with.
[ She bats her eyelashes at him. Can you say no to this face Ajax???? 🥺 ]
If we want to recreate this book at our home, we both need to study it.
no subject
It was more fun just getting her to agree to it than anything else. Poor Yoimiya, he'll have to make it up to her later. (^.~)☆]
You make a good point. Why don't we head back, then? It would be a shame to forget any ideas we've got before we get home if we tarry for too long here.
no subject
Yeah! Let's go before we lose momentum. It will be fun to see how flexible the two of us can really be, hehe.
[ And then they go back home to recreate the doujin because they are terrible. ]
