🎨 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.

Sounds like a deal to me. Then maybe we can figure out a day to figure out the details?
[He may or may not be surprised to find that despite her flighty nature, Rapunzel is more than capable of shifting gears into business mode. She's still friendly and smiling! But she's definitely someone who has experience negotiating such details, too. Nearly two years running a bakery has done her some good in that regard.]
no subject
Certainly! I wouldn't want to take up all your time here at the festival. I hope you've been having as wonderful of a time as I have been.
[ He takes out a card with an image of a flower on it, twirling it quickly in his fingers and with a little pop of sparks, it turns into said flower with said card attached to it, which has his name and number on one side. ]
Then I, the Great Magician Lyney, will be looking forward to our next dealings.
no subject
So will I, and you can just call me Rapunzel.
[Perhaps because of the festive atmosphere, or perhaps because his show just now has her in a playful mood, either way Rapunzel makes a show of her own introduction, taking one foot to step back somewhat behind the other while her free hand takes the fabric on the skirt of her sun dress, sweeping it gracefully to the side in an approximation of a curtsied bow.]
no subject
[ He's even beaming at the lovely bow he's given in returned. ]
Mademoiselle Rapunzel, then. Would you like to see a final magic trick before I go?
no subject
There's something that feels particularly fancy about his way of address. The last time someone had given her a title was quite a while ago. "Lady Rapunzel", or "signora", though "princess" was an affectionate pet name she heard from Reborn quite often. "Mademoiselle" is a first for her, and she likes it! But, put that on hold for a moment. Rapunzel is straightening from her bow when Lyney's question registers, and if she looked delighted before she's brimming with anticipation now.]
Yes please!
no subject
Then please, keep your eyes on me.
[ With that said, he makes a show of showing his empty hands before producing a single card into his hand, which turns into two with a flick of his fingers. Then three, then five, a full hand's worth, then two full hands worth in each of his hands. And just as instantly as they appeared and multiplied, they disappear completely in his hands, holding out his hands to show her empty palms once more. ]
[ Empty palms that quickly burst into a pair of eruptions of cards that obscure her vision of him, and when the cards settle and disappear in small sparks, Lyney himself... has vanished! ]
no subject
This is one of many reasons why no one likes her.Lyney will find Rapunzel to be a very cooperative audience. When he asks for her cooperation she stands a little more straight and hones in her focus. She's sure he's about to do something amazing, and she wants to see if she can spot how it works, because doesn't everyone? Still, she's sure it won't be that easy.
Her eyes are naturally drawn to the cards in his hand, watching with increasing anticipation as it multiplies several times over, and then with a flurry of cards and pops of light like little embers or sparks of flame, there's nothing and no one there.
Rapunzel's eyes grow as wide as saucers. Immediately she's leaning against the front table of her booth, looking left, right, up, and then down to see if he's hiding somewhere close by.]
How-?!
[But there's no sign of him, he's gone! She spends a few more moments scanning the crowd, but there's already an excited grin growing on her face, bursting with excitement.
She may or may not be whispering a little scream. Aaaaaaaaahhh...! Just WAIT until she tells Jinhai later!]
