Happy Dreamerversary!

YUMEMIGAOKA



    May is always a dicey time to have an outdoor event in Yumemigaoka but this year it seems like luck's on everyone's side. The morning of the 14th dawns with bright blue skies, beaming sunlight and a refreshing breeze - in other words, the perfect weather for an outdoor festival! As it does every year, the Dreamer Union is hosting its annual celebration of the first Dreamer Awakening now fifty-one whole years ago! Damn! Today's the day the entire community comes together to say happy anniversary, Dreamers!

    Part of the DU has been opened to the public for the event - while the upstairs beyond the second floor are still off limits, a number of informational boards with quick and breezy rundowns of the DU's functions and how it supports Dreamers are set up around the atrium and on the second floor. Some are informational, some are educational, and a few have trivia quizzes on them that you can answer at the front desk to get a little token for some free food at the event.

    The majority of the setup is outside, though - something between a pop-up market and a festival, with colourful sparkling banners and materials lining each stall. Some are small, independant businesses from around Yumemigaoka, some are larger organizations who sponsor the DU (they've gotta keep the lights on somehow!) and plenty of food and drink vendors. A few indie artists from the community are also selling merch and art catered to their fellow Dreamers, with imagery and in-jokes that wouldn't really mean anything to normal folks.

    Some particular stalls to keep an eye out for include...

      Dreamery Creamery are serving up scoops of their ice cream in all kinds of crazy flavours with a massive array of toppings and cones for you to choose from. To make things more exciting, Dreamers Sage, Soleil and Prisma are all helping out at the booth and serving ice creams themed after their Dreamer selves! How does Soleil Sorbet sound to you? Maybe Sherbert Sage? Or are you going for Prisma Pomegranate?

      Dice and Dash have a shaded area set up for people to sit down, take a load off and chill out with some board games! They've got a selection of games to borrow, but so long as they're not too busy, you're free to take up a table with your own entertainment if you've got it.

      Dream Weavers, famous for their position as the DU's go-to tailor, is strutting their stuff with recreations of some famous and well known Dreamers' outfits! As well as selling their goods, they're also hosting a little workshop where visitors can learn some quick and simple cosplay and sewing techniques to see how these outfits get made. Dreamers Luck, Gungir and Hanako will all be volunteering and... doing their very best at the cosplay workshop!

      Hybrid Colours is selling portable wares like canvas bags, keychains and postcards of the various prints/paintings available at the gallery! Since they only just arrived at Yumemigaoka, all the locations are international or from other parts of Japan. (Aleena will do face painting or hand painted 'tattoos' for kids, teens, or the daring adult and has a small table set up with a catalogue or 'surprise me!' option for it)

      The Yumemigaoka Cultural Museum has their usual setup! As well as a truncated version of their installation explaining the Dream Sphere and its history, they've set up several dioramas of places in the Dream Sphere, recreated in miniature! There's some moving elements like miniature Torments bobbing around here and there and some cute interactive gimmicks, like a button that will raise and lower the water level in the miniature Vale of Sorrow or a switch to make the volcano in mini Fury Peak go kaboom!

      ⧖ Finally, a soundstage has been set up just a little ways away from the rest of the stalls with plenty of sitting room for the audience. Dreamer Ai-Doll will be performing a small set of songs partway through the day and the rest of its time will be dedicated to hosting a Q&A panel of a rotating list of volunteers to answer questions about life as a Dreamer or day to day goings on at the DU. Please be aware that both Angelica AND Chloe will kill you if you post cringe on main so be on your best behaviour!

    There's lots to do and plenty of time to do it in - the event runs from 10AM and starts wrapping at around 4:30PM so everyone's got time to head home for work the next day. Dreamers will be able to attend the afterparty in the Dream Sphere if they'd like to but for the most part, that's this year's event wrapped up!

All my positions are difficult to argue with, and the sooner people figure that out the happier we'll all be!

Pride goeth before the fall.
thezekeinator: (objection!)

[personal profile] thezekeinator 2024-06-07 02:25 pm (UTC)(link)
[Zeke folds his arms, stubbornly.]

It's not pride to be right!

[personal profile] thestarknows 2024-06-07 02:37 pm (UTC)(link)
[She's fighting a smile.]

It's pride to claim you're always right, but I think we've made a logical circle.
thezekeinator: (smirky smirk)

[personal profile] thezekeinator 2024-06-07 02:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Okay, name one thing I've ever been wrong about and I'll stop claiming that.

[Zeke twists a hand out, snaps his fingers, then flicks them to make a 'bring it' gesture.]
thestarknows: (⭐ 108)

[personal profile] thestarknows 2024-06-08 02:44 am (UTC)(link)
N-Now you've got me on the spot!!
thezekeinator: (objection!)

[personal profile] thezekeinator 2024-06-10 03:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Should be easy, if I'm so frequently wrong! One moment to think about anything I've ever done!
thestarknows: (⭐ 091)

[personal profile] thestarknows 2024-06-10 03:13 pm (UTC)(link)
I-I didn't say frequently, just... everyone is wrong, sometimes...!
thezekeinator: (i protest)

[personal profile] thezekeinator 2024-06-14 01:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Then it shouldn't be hard to name a time I was, right?
thestarknows: (⭐ 073)

[personal profile] thestarknows 2024-06-15 07:26 am (UTC)(link)
Y-You've put me on the spot! Besides, no one is always right!
thezekeinator: (smirky smirk)

[personal profile] thezekeinator 2024-06-15 03:37 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm not working here today, so I can keep repeating the same argument longer than you can.
thestarknows: (⭐ 091)

[personal profile] thestarknows 2024-06-15 07:28 pm (UTC)(link)
[...oh god right]

I have to get back to work! W-We'll discuss this later!
thezekeinator: (smirky smirk)

[personal profile] thezekeinator 2024-06-17 02:32 pm (UTC)(link)
[Satisfied that he's made his point (if quietly cynical, because he knows no matter how right he is, no one will listen till they've been hauled out of a trauma dungeon in the Dream Sphere, and probably not even then), Zeke just smirks.]

Take your time to think about it then. You know where to find me.

[i.e. wherever someone is yelling BRINGER OF CHAOS]
thestarknows: (⭐ 044)

[personal profile] thestarknows 2024-06-18 07:49 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, yes, I know.

[She sighs. Of course, really, it isn't hard to find Zeke. And he tends to just turn up.]

Thank you for the help with the slogan.
thezekeinator: (smirky smirk)

[personal profile] thezekeinator 2024-06-21 03:41 pm (UTC)(link)
The Zekenator is a multi-purpose solution for all your troubles and woes! You just have to learn how to apply it!

[That gets her a big thumbs up, and perhaps more importantly, gets Zeke out of her way.]

[For now.]
