The Summer Festival Meme

Ah, summer: sunny days, clear skies, and endless days of freedom (or at least, childhood memories thereof). It's also the perfect time of year for festivals! So grab a friend or a date, don your concert outfit or your traditional attire, and enjoy the season of fun in the sun!

1. matsuri
Traditional Japanese summertime festivals feature fun foods, performances, dance, and music. Enjoy a walk around the festival grounds with a friend or sweetheart, and conclude your day by watching fireworks over the water!

2. music
The afternoon sun may be sweltering, but the heat won't get you down! Live it up with back-to-back outdoor concerts and mosh pits, or just hang out in the grassy hills and enjoy the thumping beats.

3. fireworks
Who doesn't love a colorful nighttime display? Or, cause a little chaos with some backyard sparklers and poppers!

4. dance
Learn some new steps and dance your heart out with whatever partners you find!

5. culture
What better way to experience a new culture than to go to a festival dedicated to food, art, and history? If you're lucky, you'll have a friend to show you around.

6. love
Festivals that celebrate legendary loves are the perfect place to take a date... or wish for one.

7. fertility
Those penis-shaped lollipops are not for the faint of heart, that's for sure! Or, swing for the fences and attend a fantasy festival that encourages attendees to enjoy the sexy mood, if you catch my drift.

8. wildcard
Anything goes!

( ooc: Sorry for the slowness lately, life has been happening too much... Since the other thread might be winding down, though, would you be interested in doing something with the "visiting Sumeru somehow" idea here? A lot of the prompts seem fitting, so if that sounds good to you, I can write the starter after work / over the weekend. )

[Might be performing at the festival, might just be there to have fun, might be dragging your character off to view some fireworks.]

( how about these two? 💙 )

[Blu true to fashion has barged into the eldest Minato's room. He's wearing an unamused frown on his face while dressed up in a yukata that no doubt Mio and Asahi had forced him into.]

Katsumi Minato we are going to the summer festival.
