🎉 TANABATA FESTIVAL 🎊

WHO: Everyone in Neo Tokyo
WHAT: Tanabata festival! 🎉
WHERE: In the centre of the park
WHEN: 17/07 onwards
WARNINGS: N/A

NEO TOKYO TANABATA
aka operation festival funtime
As the middle of July opens, the streets outside of Neo Tokyo seem to get decorated almost overnight. Colourful origami banners hang from the trees, a mixture of tanzaku, kamigoromo, orizuru and toami.

For anyone who has been to the Sendai region in the midst of the Summer months, the decorations will look almost endearingly familiar; it's time for tanabata!
▶ 001. OPERATION: FESTIVAL FUNTIME.
The savvier of people might notice a particularly bright shock of pink hair running around in the early hours of the morning, taking part in setting up the decorations and putting together a basic layout of tables with tablecloths and various goods and prizes. Each decoration is hand made, and if you look closely you might see little golden traces throughout, giving a clue to who helped made these ones. There's something infectious about his enthusiasm and the delight, even as he gets a little more tired as the day goes on - there's nothing stopping him. Eventually, his section of the festival is set up; there are various stands, some for making decorations (bamboo branches with ornaments, more paper ornaments, origami, and various other cute and traditional arts and crafts), some space for you to take a break and have a fruity and always non-alcoholic drink and an area with a handsome backdrop for the taking of photos.

He's not alone, though!

Raidou's looking livelier than he has than in the last few weeks. He's helping the festival in an organizational capacity, while Yuji handles most other things. He sets up the stands, moves and directs supplies to the right place, picks out spots for decorations, and makes sure both vendors and visitors have everything they need. If you stop to ask him a question or ask for direction, you get a quick, polite answer before he flits off to the next task.

Once things are running smoothly, you'll find him working at one of the food booths, where he's frying up takoyaki and taiyaki. Raidou couldn't be more in his element - serving up fresh food and treats to the Outsiders and the community. You might even get your food handed to you from him with a smile.

At night, the festival is lit up with fireworks and sparklers throughout, lighting up the sky with explosions of little joy and happiness.

Throughout the festival, you can also get a free bento, delivered to you by a cute looking rabbit. The bentos come in many designs, cute, adorable or precious!
▶ 002. A DREAM IS A WISH.
One of the most exciting aspects of tanabata remains the wish-making. In the set-up for the festival, there are little posters left around near one particular booth (manned by local cryptid Choso) to explain the story of the festival and the meaning that it holds. Alongside it are an almost ridiculous amount of paper strips in various colours, left with some pens and calligraphy brushes for people to pick up and use. A big sign next to it declares the following:

Make a wish! If it's a good one, it might come true!

The directions are clear: write your wish on a strip of paper and hang it on one of the bamboo decorations. The harder you wish, the more likely it is to come true - and there are some prompts for the kind of wishes people could make, just in case you're strapped for ideas:
  • Academic or work successes
  • Prosperity or good health
  • Care and love for family and friends
  • Success in love or platonic relationships
  • Fulfilment of a personal goal or ambition
  • You might notice Yuji watching as you're tying your wishes up... Don't worry about that!

    If you require further assistance in your wish-making (or even if you don't at all) Choso seems more than happy to lend a helping hand. When he isn't cutting up paper strips and sorting them out into strangely-organized piles (paper thickness instead of size or colour), he's preparing the calligraphy ink via manual inkstone grinding or offering an absurdly wide variety of coloured (and scented) markers for your convenience.

    The strips of wishes can be as decorative or simple as you like, so don't stress about your artistic genius!

    ( ooc note: If you would like Yuji to take a shot at making your wish come true, please respond to this comment! There will be some RNG "granted wishes" that you can use in your top level and keep as a fond memory, but please note there is only one "granted wish" per character. )
    ▶ 003. AS THE POETS SAY.
    In the centre of the festival, in the midst of a park with vibrant flowers, is a table where Yuji sits for a few hours at a time between breaks. He seems to be practically vibrating out of his seat, and when approached he launches into an explanation of this particular game:

    THE SOULMATE GAME!

    The aim of the game is simple: you are given a ribbon at random with a number on it. Your mission? Find the person with the matching ribbon within a time limit of an hour and win a special prize. Don't worry though... If you lose, there's a prize for not quite making it within the limit. The festival is meant to be a celebration, after all, and Yuji doesn't want anyone to miss out.

    Here's the problem: Yuji isn't making it easy for people to find their soulmate. He's not left a boundary for how far you can go (in case you were tempted to hide...) nor has he done anything to make the festival less distracting. This area is set up with your traditional festival games, such as (fake) goldfish scooping, ring toss and some chairs and tables set out for food and conversation.

    To make it worse? Sometimes, Yuji might pop up and give you a hint to go in a particular direction, only for it to be a total red herring. This is definitely fun, isn't it? Who doesn't love a good chase? The problem is...

    Will you find your soulmate in time...?

    ( ooc note: If you would like to win (or lose) at the soulmate game, please respond to this comment! Go ahead and OOCly decide who your character gets paired with and whether or not you win or lose - there are different prizes for each. You can play the soulmate game as many times as you want ICly, but you will only get one prize roll per character! )
    ▶ 004. TINY FRAGMENTS THAT REMAIN.
    NOTE: THIS PROMPT WILL REFER TO THINGS THAT ARE SPOILERS FOR JUJUTSU KAISEN CHAPTER 264 ( refering to Yuji's powers and how he uses them in a fight ).

    Here's the thing: Yuji wants everyone to have fun. His dream is that people are able to find some joy and peace in the midst of the darkness of the last few weeks, and so he sinks into something that is familiar to him - cursed energy, and his domain expansion. In the early hours of the second day of his festival, you might catch him making a hand sign before a ripple of powers hits, collecting around the area of the festival like a literal bubble. Anyone on the edge of the bubble will see it like a flickering, semi-transparent void, but there's nothing to worry about... Right?

    The power of Yuji's domain expansion is simple enough, in theory: it transports into the memories, digs into the heart of what people want to show. His intention is to share the tanabata of his childhood with the people of Neo Tokyo and spark some joy for the Outsiders who have been through so much. He wants to show them something sweet and nostalgic, but he doesn't quite anticipate the side effect.

    Outsiders who end up stepping into Yuji's domain will find themselves able to come face-to-face with their childhood selves, and enjoy the festival together. If they're together with another Outsider, those childhood versions of themselves (shaped in the way they remember themselves rather than how they actually looked!) are visible and shared, like an extension of their thoughts come to life.

    It's still tanabata, but this particular part of the festival is influenced by what Yuji remembers from his youth, and Outsiders can find themselves seeing and being able to take part in various activities:
  • Crayfish catching (try and get the biggest or rarest one!)
  • Archery (can you beat your friends and get the bullseye?)
  • Horse riding (and you might hear Yuji commenting on how big their faces are)
  • Parades (are you going to join in?)
  • And anything else you can dream up! It's your character's childhood too, right...?
  • As soon as Yuji realises his mistake (at the end of the day, lost in his own memories) he brings down the domain, but it might be too late for some Outsiders who have come face to face with their more adorable versions. Whoops.
    EVENT BREAKDOWN (CLICK TO EXPAND)
    1. OPERATION: FESTIVAL FUNTIME: The festival is being set up by Yuji and Raidou, with support from other Outsiders to make decorations. Food and other entertainment is on offer for anyone who attends, but all drinks are non-alcoholic.

    2. A DREAM IS A WISH: Outsiders are given the chance to take part in the tanabata tradition of wish making. They can decorate paper with their wish and hang it up in the hope it will come true. Yuji will be granting one wish per outsider.

    3. AS THE POETS SAY: The "Soulmate Game" has characters being randomly assigned numbers and tasked with finding their matching pair to win a prize. They have an hour to find their partner and, win or lose, there is a prize for taking part.

    4. TINY FRAGMENTS THAT REMAIN: Yuji uses his domain expansion to bring Sendai tanabata to life, that has the accidental side effect of allowing Outsiders to meet and see their childhood selves. It also allows them to visit Sendai itself and take part in some other minigames that are not tanabata related if they want.

    Bakugō Katsuki 💥 Boku no Hero Academia 💥 Everlight

    [personal profile] blastedass 2025-07-18 10:34 pm (UTC)(link)
    ▶ 001. OPERATION: FESTIVAL FUNTIME.

    💥 ➊ OPERATION. - Decorations

    [Bakugo's thoughts wander between the festival's historied tale and his current work at hand. Seated at the table, he folds, cuts, tucks, and mends paper into a growing origami shape. He's halfway there, but behold his great paper explosion! Who the hell's surprised. But dammit if he's not intending to win 1st prize in this origami-making competition! No glue, no tape, only paper and scissors with precision skill to craft his masterpiece!

    Compete beside him, compliment him on crushing the competition once he wins, or invite him to make another decoration with bamboo if that's your thing. Arts and crafts here.]


    💥 ➋ FESTIVAL. - Food & Drink

    [How the hell Yuji and Raidou managed all this, he doesn't know. Seems Ereshkigal helped. Between the three of them, and LILITH pitching in, doable? He pushed past his skepticism and wandered the festival. Reminded of him aplenty, with stalls and decorations, sales and celebrations. Thematic traditions and games emblematic of the story behind the festival. The food's amazing compared to what's been tossed up in the cafeteria lately.]

    1) [Bakugo picks up his drink, a yellow-orange gradient with crimson top layer, packed with lemon, orange, mango, and spiced cherry. Sweeter than he usually likes, but given the heat, a sherbet drink is worth the sugar rush. He abruptly jerks backwards, body hooking to avoid spilling his drink-] Watch where you're fucking going!

    2) [Seated against a patch of bamboo, Bakugo bites another takoyaki ball off the stick, savoring its saucy meatiness and crunch. A bento box balances on his high, taking a break from the festivities for a well-packed lunch. Red eyes flick upward at the approaching shadow and he tilts his head to the side, indicating the open space next to him.] Watch out for the shoot. [Unless you want a tiny bamboo rammed up your--]

    💥 ➌ FUNTIME. - Fireworks

    [Nighttime comes with a drop in humidity and cooler air, though does little to avoid the reality of summer weather. Green bursts across the sky above, illuminating Bakugo's figure on the small bridge, his reflection wiggling within the dark water below. A small red arch with a picturesque tree nearby, decorated with fallen green leaves. Quiet once more, caught up in the nostalgia, he only briefly breaks from his thoughts to the person approaching. A small box of sparklers sits on the railing beside him, waiting to be lit and enjoyed. Perhaps after the fireworks. Another one explodes above in brilliant yellow.]

    Hmph. Mine are bigger.


    ▶ 002. A DREAM IS A WISH.

    💥 ➊ DREAM. - Tanabata Legend

    [Tanabata in his childhood. Tanabata in his teenager years. Never different. No complaints there. He always felt conflicted about the story. A young man and woman were bound by duty and could never enjoy life or meet anyone. Her father arranged for them to meet, where they instantly fell in love. So in love, their duties slipped. As punishment, the father separated them and only allowed the pair to see each other once a year, so their duties wouldn't be interrupted. Why the hell couldn't they balance the two? And the man who punished them didn't do shit to help. As he grew up, his opinions changed on who was "right" in the story. Even now, he's not sure which one wins out.

    Feel free to weigh in on the story as if you were discussing this with him.]


    💥 ➋ DREAM. - Make a Wish

    [He used to do this as a little kid. Usually wished for good health and fame as a hero. A little kid who didn't entirely think about the work it takes for such things to come true. As he grew up, Bakugo stopped tying wishes to bamboo leaves. Wishing seemed to indicate a lack of control in the matter, as if admitting there was something he couldn't do and needed someone else outside himself to make it happen for him. Which felt like offloading and cheating. If he wanted fame as a hero, he had to work for it! Good health? Take care of himself! Such is the naivety of youth making way for a guy who probably ran towards adulthood a bit too fast...]

    Nah. A wish is a promise you should make come true. [An orange-colored strip of paper rests in his thumb and forefinger's grip, red eyes looking at it with a mixture of nostalgic curiosity and firm pass.] Like admitting you can't do something.

    [You wanna rebut this?]


    ▶ 003 + ▶ 004.

    💥 ➊ AS THE POETS SAY. - Hard Mode

    [Haa?! What the hell is this game? Bakugo's left looking at the ribbon stuck on his yukata. Whoever picked out 17 is a weirdo who knows way too much about him and needs to kicked in the fucking butt! (17's his class number at U.A.) That or random chance is ironically lucky. Now he's supposed to find someone with the same number? Or they're supposed to find him... Ugh, great, he was looking forward to hunting down some bozo while enjoying himself at the festival. Tempted as fuck to yank his ribbon off and shove it into the robe's sleeves. But... Yuji invited him to play, and Bakugo's absolute shit at turning down his best friend.

    So Soulmate 17 is out in the wild. Don't get any ideas cause he's already found his soulmate in Neo Tokyo.]


    💥 ➋ TINY FRAGMENTS THAT REMAIN. - Bitty Boom

    [You could've warned people about opening your damn domain, Gari Head! Not that Bakugo's aware this is Yuji's doing. Weird shit happens in Neo Tokyo thanks to the kaiju, but coming face to face with his younger self is... not what he was expecting! Same spiky ashen blonde hair, same red eyes, same big mouth, way more smiles and all the precious precocious brattiness you could ever want. He's ironically a lot nicer as a little kid too... But he's still Bakugo. And now Bakugo (or you) have to deal with this little punk for the entire day?!

    OOC: Pick a passing interactions. Either come across Bakugo and his younger self in the pictured scene, or feel free to put yourself in older!Bakugo's position with his younger self talking to you. General setting is obviously the festival. Go wild.

    1) "Wow! You look so cool! Hey, show me something awesome! ... Gross. Was I really that much of a nerdy fanboy?

    2) You suck! No one's gonna like you if you're so grumpy all he time! Lighten up! ... HOW THE HELL DID I USED TO BE THIS KIND OF SHIT?!

    3) Sorry I got lost. I didn't mean to make you worry. ... Shitty kid. I'm gonna get a fucking leash for this rat.

    4) I gotta go now. Don't forget to be strong, okay?] ... Shut up, you little brat. You're gonna grow up just fine.

    [OOC: if none of these suit your fancy, you're welcome to wildcard me with whatever you like! engage bakugo in a carnival game, have your little self run into the world's grumpiest babysitter, ask him to help hang your wish a the top of the bamboo, whatever! pm me if you want to work something specific out and i'll be happy to write a unique starter.]

    [Izuku has been walking around with his younger self and letting him do whatever he likes. Playing games. Getting him food. It doesn't matter if it's real or not. He's taking good care of him.

    But they got separated and now a tiny child with a familiar mop of green curls is walking by Katsuki. His older self is somewhere nearby but because this child isn't holding still, they keep missing each other.

    He looks ready to cry when he walks right into Katsuki as he comes around a corner. Staring up at him with watery green eyes that threaten to let loose those oh so iconic Midoriya Tears.]
    blastedass: by blastedass @ dreamwidth (💥 Chew with your mouth shut.)

    looks perfect!

    [personal profile] blastedass 2025-07-20 02:01 pm (UTC)(link)
    [SEE?! HE KNEW YOU WERE SOFT ON YOUR STUDENTS, DAMMIT!!

    *ahem* anyways...

    What the hell is this mental whiplash?! His childhood friend stumbles out of a pod, grown up into an adult eight years his senior. Now that same friend is standing in front of him, regressed to a damn five year old! And looking ready to cry. Who the fuck's playing with an age meter up there?!

    Katsuki's half in mind to find Izuku and shove his little brat right into his face! ... But odds are Izuku's already found Katsuki's child self and is playing babysitter with that tiny turd himself. And he knows which one of them got the better end of the trade. HA!! What a handful.]


    Don't cry. [What a hero.] Your dad's not gone.
    muttering_and_mumbling: (Event!Bitty Neutral)

    We could absolutely do the inverse of this too and let Deku wrangle baby Kacchan if you want. LOL

    [personal profile] muttering_and_mumbling 2025-07-21 04:07 am (UTC)(link)
    [UM. HIS STUDENTS ARE TEENAGERS AND THIS IS A FIVE YEAR OLD!! WHO'S MEAN TO A FIVE YEAR OLD, KACCHAN??

    In any case, Katsuki now has a small child rubbing at his eyes and sniffling as he peers at him. Since he already knows that the man he was walking with is him from the future then it stands to reason...]


    Are you big Kacchan?

    [As opposed to... small Kacchan?]
    blastedass: by licuo @ tumblr (💥 Are you dead yet?)

    tempting... tempting...

    [personal profile] blastedass 2025-07-21 04:12 am (UTC)(link)
    [ooc: another time and i would, but i'm actually gonna be offline for the last week of july, so unless you're good with two threads sitting in stasis, maybe raincheck?]


    [... uh, kacchan is? Izuku wasn't present at the remediation training crap.

    Tch, guess Izuku told his little self the reality of their situation. Or he's a smart bitty nerd like he always was. Katsuki sighs and crosses his arms as he watches the boy wipe at his eyes. Good to know.]


    I'm bigger than you. Done sniveling?
    muttering_and_mumbling: (Event!Bitty Neutral)

    [personal profile] muttering_and_mumbling 2025-07-22 02:35 am (UTC)(link)
    [Kacchan is mean to everyone. Equality.

    Either way the child in front of him stops rubbing his eyes and instead holds out his hand expectantly. Kacchan is a trusted person. Even if he's big now. There is nothing but trust to be found in him for the young hero. He comes from a time before things got really bad between them after all.]


    I can't find Big Me. I got lost.

    [That is a reason to have big emotions.]

    Will you help me find him?
    blastedass: by bokunoicons @ tumblr (💥 Tch-!)

    [personal profile] blastedass 2025-07-22 02:51 am (UTC)(link)
    [Not true! He's way meaner to criminals and villains than he is to his classmates! ... Though someone could argue it's a very different kind of meanness.

    Ugh. Hand thing. Katsuki scowls for a second, then clicks his tongue and takes the boy's hand. Probably gonna have to carry him eventually. Those little legs aren't gonna keep up with his longer ones. Izuku's from before that day... when an offered hand shattered everything between them.]


    Che! I'm gonna break his stupid legs for losing a kid.

    [So that's a yes. And a threat. Go figure.]

    Where'd you last see him?
    muttering_and_mumbling: (Event!Bitty Neutral)

    [personal profile] muttering_and_mumbling 2025-07-22 03:03 am (UTC)(link)
    [Okay he's mean equitably then.

    Izuku lets out a squeak at that threat.]


    Heroes don't break legs! That's mean!

    [There is not a single doubt in his mind that this Big Kacchan is a hero. Just like there was not a doubt in his mind that Big Izuku was one. There was no way his older self was going to tell him otherwise anyway.]

    Um... We were going to get food. There were lots of good smells.
    blastedass: by blastedass @ dreamwidth (💥 Chew with your mouth shut.)

    [personal profile] blastedass 2025-07-22 08:41 pm (UTC)(link)
    [Touche.

    Uuuugh, this brat's in his pure mode, completely unaware he's gonna leave a villain beaten up and dangling by a bunch of black threads later on in life.]


    Heroes don't lose kids either! That's stupid!

    [Of course he's a hero! But sometimes heroes have to get rough! He knows he's sent people to the hospital with his explosions before. You think he's pulling his punches on those bastards? Hell no!

    Still ragging on Izuku though.]


    Tch, he's probably freaking out looking for you.

    [But one place is better than none. Katsuki heads for a collection of food stalls.]
    muttering_and_mumbling: (Event!Bitty Neutral)

    [personal profile] muttering_and_mumbling 2025-07-23 04:14 pm (UTC)(link)
    [No one looking at this sweet face would ever expect how unhinged he becomes later in life.

    Izuku scrambles along behind, clinging to that hand and afraid he's going to get lost again.]


    He didn't mean to lose me... is he going to get in trouble?

    [He doesn't know what 'trouble' one gets in for losing a tiny version of themselves. But he assumes there will be trouble.]
    blastedass: by bokunoicons @ tumblr (💥 Piss the fuck off!)

    [personal profile] blastedass 2025-07-23 07:20 pm (UTC)(link)
    [No one looking at his face would know the kind of life and burdens which would be placed (and would be stupidly taken) onto his shoulders over the course of a year and a half.

    Katsuki notes Izuku's pace, intending to pick him up if it looks like the kid's gonna fall behind or struggle.]


    Damn right he is!

    ["Trouble" which starts with a "K" and explodes. He lost track of the boy he's supposed to be looking out for! (Like Katsuki will do later himself.)

    Haa?! Why the hell would you be in trouble? He's the one who lost you!

    [Actions over words. Katsuki operates the same way. Though he's obviously not as vocal about "sappy" things as his younger self would be. Back when he easily acknowledge their friendship.]

    This way.

    [Meaning they're going back into the crowds... so Katsuki abruptly scoops the kid up and deposits him on his own shoulders, legs draped down over Katsuki's chest.]
