Nihao! It has come to my attention that this year, or rather, in the year of 2012, the date for the Dragon Boat Festival is June twenty-third.

Activities for the Dragon Boat Festival include eating zongzi, drinking realgar wine, and racing dragon boats. There is also a game where one tries to make an egg stand at exactly noon, and if you succeed you will have luck for the next year.

I would like to bring this traditional Chinese holiday to Fortuna, especially the boat races if it is safe to go rowing on the lake, aru. Then of course I will prepare plenty of zongzi for others to eat.

When are you going to wrap them? I want to help!

[gochuugoku]

Most likely on the nineteenth. Of course, you're more than welcome to do so!

[meilihua]

Is it really going to be safe to row in the lake though?

[video; Cantonese]

[bauhinia]

If we're eating and racing, I'm totally game.

[ Well, he's not... hiding anything, that's for sure. ]

[video; Cantonese]

[gochuugoku]

I figured you would be. We just need to make sure the lake is safe for rowing. Xi Shi could help us with that.

[bauhinia]

When are you planning to test it? [ He cocks his head to the side. ]

[bringerofdemons]

Never really heard of it, but if there's going to be drinking....

[Then she MIGHT be there then. Maybe the eating part too.]

Without my powers I've been pretty bored.

[gochuugoku]

It's quite a large holiday in China. Hopefully I can find a large supply of realgar wine somewhere. [If not, he could make some if there are enough ingredients to find.]

Ah, yes, I remember how it was when I still had my chip in.

[bringerofdemons]

I'm not too familiar with a lot of holidays. Even the ones in Japan so it's all pretty foreign to me.
[Oh, you'd be loved forever supplying da booze. Automatic BFF.]
Well, I haven't been here long, but I can definitely help in finding booze. Might even check in the other city with Ryo-ohki as well.

I'm not sure what else I could be doing since I can fly or phase through walls. Walking all the time gets real repetitive.

[dewebbed]

Hey, do you still need any help on this? You know I'm in!

[ EXCITED!! ]

voice.

[gochuugoku]

Yes, I would appreciate your help, Jack. I know for certain Taiwan will be helping me with the cooking. Then I plan on testing the water's safety later today. If it is safe, then I will need help building the boats, aru. Then there's also that stand for the game we spoke of earlier.

voice.

[dewebbed]

Oh, do you want me to start the stand? I could find some wood and nails somewhere.

[sensuality]

Mmm this all sounds so good. I wish I could help, but I can't really do much. I can eat though right?!

[gochuugoku]

It is alright, really. And of course you can! Everyone eats during the festivities~ Then the boat races are always fun to watch.

[sensuality]

Arigato China! You are the best.

( She gives him a thumbs up. However the very best is Turkey of course~ )

[crabbygenius]

This sounds like fun. I wouldn't mind lending a hand if you need help.

[gochuugoku]

Thank you, Little Washu. It always takes more than one person to prepare a festival.

Once I've seen whether the lake is safe or not, would you be able to lend a hand in making the boats? Or perhaps we could make decorations to put around the city.

[Wine sounds good.]

Wait... 2012? Was that what year it is before you came here?

[Gin sounds somewhat surprised. Already 12 years into the new millenium?]

[Voice]

[gochuugoku]

Yes, and it still is 2012 according to my time frame.

[Voice]

[endless_clouds_of_violet]

Ah, a festival seems just what this dreary little place needs. I'd offer to help bring things in, but I'm still without my abilities, so I think I might need to merely play as a festival-goer.

[Voice]

[gochuugoku]

Being a festival-goer is still a way of helping. It shows that the effort that went into organizing everything did not go unnoticed, aru.

[shortestfuse]

[ Nostalgia's always comforting.

Anything that reminds him of home is good in his book. ]

Sounds nice.

[gochuugoku]

It is.

Will you be attending Shizuo?

[crackpotcrocker]

Mmmm, what happens when you don't get the egg to stand at exactly noon?

[gochuugoku]

You do not achieve good luck for the rest of the year then. No one says that you will get bad luck if you don't succeed.

You should come, Denzel. The food will be delicious~
