Night Festival, Out in the Open
Where a tree once was, there are a collection of buildings. Music drifts through the streets as shadowy people walk between the various stalls. Some vendors sell masks, food, and other goods. There's even a booth with a rather familiar deck of cards.
Blu
This is intresting
HibkiKuze
*Hibki walks up nodding his head to the music as he looks around stopping at a mask stand* What kind of masks are you selling here?
Duet
A few of the shadowy people walk by Blu, but barely pay him any attention. Each of them has two numbers on their foreheads. Whatever they are, they aren't human. "All kinds. We got animal masks, and the masks like that of the mistress. We also got a kitsune mask. Looks just like the Dark Kitsune's. I've been selling out of those every time." The vendor chuckles a little.

Blu
(Speaks to himself) in all my investigations I've never seen something like this
HibkiKuze
*Hibki returns the chuckle* I can imagine, they seem very well made. I’ll take a kitsune mask since they seem so popular. What’s the damage?
Duet
One of the shadow people stares at Blu. They mutter something to their friend, then shrug and approach him. "About 1700 Yen. Bit above average due to the demand." The vendor adjusts their hat, revealing the 3/4 on their forehead. They grab a mask with a shadowy hand.
Blu
(Sees what they were doing and slowly reaches for his katana)
HibkiKuze
Of course. Here you go. *Hibki hands the vendor the exact amount* Nice to see a festival like this every so often, lets you relax.
Duet
The shadowy person narrows their white eyes at Blu upon seeing the weapon. Their face begins to elongate, and the 2/4 on their head glows a little. The vendor nods and hands the mask to him. "You bet. It's pretty fun. It's a shame that not many people from the material world come here, though. You guys are always neat."
Blu
(Grips his katana)
Blu
This ain't right
HibkiKuze
Of course, I’ll see you around. *Hibki puts on the mask and wanders the festival grounds*
Duet
Hibki soon hears a loud screech from nearby. The person that was approaching Blu has completely changed their form. A hawk, still with the 2/4 on its head, flaps above Blue. Its body is formed out of multiple black symbols, and is not made of anything else. Gusts of wind blow towards its foe.
Blu
Let's go then PERSONA (tower persona Seth appears)
Space_Dandy
Dandy walks throughout the streets curiously looking at everything he passes Huh, this is quite an interesting place. These creatures are certainly strange as well... Dandy's eyes light up as he fist pumps Aw sick! These must be unregistered aliens! Though I should check first. Dandy lifts up his scanner and begins to scan the creatures all around. The scanner soon beeps saying "Unidenified Creature" Heh! I bet these guys will get me a buncha cash! Dandy's stomach then growls Maybe I should get some food first. Dandy walks up to a nearby food vendor Hey there! Do you happen to sell ramen by any chance?
Duet
With its wind having barely any effect, the hawk screeches and rakes at Seth with its talons. The vendor, who is barely paying attention to the fight, puts down a bowl of ramen. "Here ya go, dude. On the house."

Blu
(Slashes at them to defend Seth)
HibkiKuze
*Hibki, noticing the fight runs to the nearest vendor stand* What’s going on over there? I figured this was a peaceful location.
Blu
These shadows they probably figured I was onto them
Space_Dandy
Aw sweet! Thanks baby! Dandy gives a thumbs up to the vendor and begins to down the Ramen occasionally taking the break to breathe and comment on how good the ramen is. Dandy then put down the now empty bowl. He looks around at the festival taking it in This festival is pretty nice! the fight then catches his eyes Oh sweet! Entertainment as well! I haven't been at a festival like this in ages baby!
Duet
The ramen vendor shrugs upon Hibki's arrival. "I guess someone found a person who'd disrupt the events. The mistress doesn't like troublemakers." The hawk is knocked back, and its symbols disperse a bit. It growls and literally pulls itself together before diving at Blu.

Blu
(Thrusts the katana through its head)

HibkiKuze
*He tries to get Dandy’s attention.* This isn’t planned entertainment. I’d recommend staying out of trouble alright.
Duet
The hawk bursts outwards, its symbols dissipating. The crowd of shadow people stare at Blu, then decide to not take this person on. They murmur to themselves and shuffle to other areas of the festival.
Blu
(Seth disappears) well that was strange
HibkiKuze
*Hibki approaches Blu* So what happened there? Did you really do something to disrupt the festival?
Blu
I just thought the shadows looked strange then one of them noticed me and you know what happened
Duet
With the drama out of the way, one may notice a few of the shadow people heading towards someplace farther down the street.
Blu
I'm going to see where they are going
HibkiKuze
I’ll admit they look strange, but they seem interesting enough. I guess I’m just going to keeep enjoying myself here. *Hibki walks off until he spots a card booth and approaches it* Hey there, what kind of cards do you have?
Duet
"Tarot cards, mrrister!" the vendor practically purrs. They hold out their deck. "I can give a verrry good reading!" Blu follows the small crowd to a circular stage. A figure in a kitsune mask and traditional Japanese clothing sits in the middle, with small drums floating around them.
Blu
(Whispers) whaaat
HibkiKuze
How much for a reading? I’ll give it a shot if I have enough cash.
Duet
"It's verrry free! I can even give the lil lady a reading for furee too!" They point at a small girl near the booth, who is holding the hand of a tall, black humanoid. The kitsune-masked person waves a hand, and the drums begin playing on their own, creating purple music notes as they play. Nearby, a small masked person sits at the edge of the crowd, standing out with their pure white clothing.
Blu
(Keeps watching)
HibkiKuze
*He turns towards the couple* Hey there, I think I’ve seem you two around before. Want to join in for a tarot card reading? It is free.
Duet
The little girl nods, and the vendor purrs. "Purrrfect! Lessee..." Two cards are carelessly pulled out. The vendor narrows their eyes. "This is interesting... the Star is your past. A carefree one. Yet your present is... Death. It's not literal death, though. More like a great change. Dunno what your change is, lil girl." As the song ends, the kitsune-masked person stands up, and stares at Blu. The crowd turns to look as well.
Blu
Oh shoot
Space_Dandy
Dandy ,who blanked out for a bit due to reasons, turns towards the ramen vendor So, how long has this festival been around for? It seems to be a pretty nicely set up thing. Quite unique if I were to say. Definitely different from other festivals thats for sure.
Duet
The ramen vendor shrugs. "Been around for as long as the mistress has been in the Nexus. It'll probably end once that little girl goes too deep into the events, but I don't mind. Gets tiring cooking ramen all the time." "Who are you?" The white-robed mask person speaks, joining Kitsune Mask on-stage. They're incredibly short, about half the height of the drum-commanding person, but still have an air of seriousness about them.
Space_Dandy
Dandy smiles and gives the vendor a thumbs up Well, you make some damn good ramen baby! But I don't blame you, doing the same thing for a long time must get boring huh...oh and by the way. Who is this mistress you keep bringing up? Dandy's mind runs wild wondering who this mistress could be
Duet
"The mistress? Her name's Celia. She wears this mask all the time, and is short. Really short. Ya can't miss her." The vendor takes out a cloth and starts rubbing soapy water on one of the bowls.
Blu
My name is Blu and what is going on here
Duet
"It's a festival. Don't you see? I suggest you turn back. There's absolutely nothing else beyond here." The masked person seems to glare at Blu. The crowd parts, watching silently.
Space_Dandy
Dandy looks around the festival So where can I find her baby? The Festival is kinda big and I don't feel like getting lost today no matter how many lovely ladies I could possibly run into if I do get lost. This mistress intrests me.
Blu
I'd like to inform you that one of your shadows attacked me what was that about
Duet
"A shadow...? Ah, that Arivian. It saw you as a threat. A disturbance to our wonderful show. We wouldn't want the show to be taken apart, would we?" As the masked person speaks, Kitsune Mask levitates the drums into the air. The vendor points farther down the road. "Go that way. The Dark Kitsune is supposed to be performing there, and he sticks to the mistress like glue."
Beethoven
A purple haired boy wanders around the Festival. Hmm, what to do here? Maybe I should get a mask, just in case... He chuckles, remembering a few parties he attended from the thought of masks. Good times, but no time to reminisce. The boy walks to a mask stand, grabbing his headphones, a little nervous. Er, hello there. Do you have any suggestions on interesting masks?
Blu
(readys his katana) so much for a reasonable conversation
Space_Dandy
Thanks baby! I'll see you around, thanks again for the ramen! Dandy runs off down the street where the vendor pointed Man this place has all sorts of rare aliens! Whoever this mistress is she must be pretty important...maybe I can even get her to come to the Alien Registration center! Dandy fist pumps as he runs. He eventually reaches to where the vendor pointed
