She chuckled and followed him towards a stand, “I think the real question is… can you even have a good time?”
He smirked beneath his mask as they walked over. "Try me."

A short wait in line let him continue a moment. "I went to the forest today, place feels cursed."

“Feels? Did the trees give you the heebee jeebies?” She asked as she motioned for some food for the pair of them.

“What is it I’m supposed to try, then?”

Musical notes and arrows flying around... no wonder the kids like it.

Of course, Sora's definition of "kids" was pretty broad these days.

He noted Ai's experimental efforts and the sour note with... approval?

Tae-soo was there with Ha-yeong - the festival was clearly the talk of the whole town, after all. The young one seems as somber as usual, although his eyes shifting from stall to stall suggests the spirit of the festival may not be wholly lost on him. Tae-soo, meanwhile, seems almost to smile now and then, but his eyes shift instead from person to person, and there's some hesitation in his steps.

(OOC: Please PM or quote, I'm awful with these threads...)
Perhaps Tae-soo's eyes would have lingered longer on a man walking around with his torso bared for the world to see. Certainly Ranmaru stopped to look back, though his attention shifted more to the smaller one.

And so, he decided to make his approach. "It's going to be dangerous here," he said. "Where's the... kid's mother?"

Among the musicians, Ayako gaped and momentarily forgot to keep playing her lute, awestruck by Soju's singing. Then she remembered herself and forced herself to count the beats, in order to resume playing with the next measure.

Which suited Sora fine, he liked Reiko and Hisomu's people a great deal.

He ambled over to the younger man and offered a brief bow, but didn't say anything.

Goju gave quite the proper bow. "So... Jiyo-sama, it is honor to see you." Goju was going to do his best to not embarrass Hisomu. Though the man unnerved Goju a little. He made him feel like a little boy who got caught with his hand in the cookie drawer.

Goju doesn't know how to answer that question. "I am Hisomu Goju. Maybe long ago. My parents took me many places, including the Imperial city. But I have definitely heard much about you. My parents were among those who travelled to rescue Hisomu-kami. Though this is a happy festival, so I'd rather not dwell on the past." Goju felt this happiness would not last much longer for the common people. "I hope all is well."

"That makes sense to me. Even a small delay and I wouldn't have been here until today, likely. Now, Akodo-san... I believe you were looking at the Daruma, no?"

She looked over at them herself, curiously. Unlike archery, Ohta had never actually done anything with those. Not at fairs or festivals or at home.

"It's easy enough, at least at first glance." Kenji said as he made his way over, his eyes moving to the ki-rin for a moment to see if she would come along.

"The goal of the game is to take a wooden mallet and knock all the the sections out from under the Dauma on top. Without tipping the pile over. " He explained pointing at first the mallet and then the various sections of food. "If it falls you lose."

"Generally you compare how many blocks people remove before it falls to pick a victor."

"Ah... so it's a game of manual dexterity and control as it were? I was worried it would be more childish than that."

Ohta chuckles under her breath, behind a sleeve.

"I suppose there are some tricks to doing it though, so I can't promise it's something that I'll have as much luck with as archery."
