Whoa.I didn't recognize anyone here.People sure seemed to be getting acquainted quickly.Before I knew it,some freaky-lookin' black yoshi with no eyes and purple hair was nearby,a floating black cat-thing was having a conversation,and a strange red yoshi with an Ice Climber on his back was running towards a stage.Oh well.Maybe that's where I should be heading.

"Huh?" Jay notices that the sun is setting. He quickly took off his Green jacket showing a white T-Shirt. He started to rip part of the pants leg, making them shorts. He put his jacket on the bed and, but kept his katana, just in case. He walked out of his cabin and locked the door and started walking around, looking around, hearing some music. 'A Play? Cool.' He started running a bit to see it.

As the floating cat creature came over and introduced himself as Moot, Twi thought he'd better say something, in his weirdly low and almost demonic voice he said "Hello, Moot. My name is Twi, erm...Nice to meet you.." Nice, there was a word he'd rarely used. He got up and held he plate of fruit in one hand and he stood. "It seems everyone is going to the music, do you think we should head over there too, Moot?" He looked around at the crowds of people running towards a stage, he picked up another apple and took a large bite out of it. He looked back at Moot, and again at his plate of fruit which was still pretty big. "Would you like some fruit?" Twi asked

Blood examined the stage as it came closer, there wasn't much there yet. A few Yoshis working the drums and other instruments, playing the music that could be heard throughout the village. Every once in a while a worker Yoshi could be seen carrying something up the steps, such as a crate, and dropping it on the stage deck.
"I haven't carried anyone in a long time, but it's good for me, I guess. What do you suppose is happening up there? Just music? Or is there gonna be some sort of performance?"

As the afternoon started to come and the sun started to sink in the sky, the people that were gathered around the buffet table were spreading out to the other parts of the festival; the attention of the general crowd was now at the base of a nearby hill. Coincidentally, music had started to play there. Before Enrique left the buffet table, he recalled more tickets and picked up another assortment of food items from the buffet. He started meandering toward the hill where the music was coming from, eating some of the fruit that he had just purchased along the way.
While he was strolling to the area, he noticed a red Yoshi with a cap toss a short humanoid-individual on his back and sprinted toward the stage. He also noticed a platform at the base of the hill which was being swarmed that appeared to be the potential site of a performance of some sort. Curious, he approached the platform, watching a few Yoshis playing the music that drew the crowd.

Gem waited and eventually spotted a black yoshi around the age of 12. Gem hadn't talked to anyone yet so she decided to introduce herself. She ran over. "Hey! You from around here? I'm Gem Chameleon (her last name is chameleon, deal with it)." She smiled and held out her hand.

Strangie replied to Blood, "Heck if I know. We'll just have to wait and see." He took a glance around him, noticing everyone flocking to the stage. He took note of the different creatures around him.
"Hmm... maybe I oughta mingle a little with these guys around here after the performance is finished... surely they have some interesting stories to tell."

It soon grew to be afternoon, and then evening. An orange glow gave the whole festival a summery feel, like it was something you'd only remember in the back of your mind.
I finished my food and noticed I was quite full.
Some Yoshis began playing music, signalling the beginning of their performance, just as planned. It seemed things couldn't be more perfect.
I noticed the cat-like thing who introduced himself as Moot talking with the creepy Yoshi, who called himself Twi. I looked back at them and decided I could find them later; this show wasn't something to miss.
I quickly stood up and made my way rather hastily over to the stage, trying to find a good spot before all the grassy area was taken.

The crowd was beginning to increase in size as the minutes passed by. Toshi, who wasn't exactly a tall Yoshi, was stuck behind a group of strangers who were too tall to see over "Ugh, not again, every year this happens, every year!". He looks around the area to see if there were any spots he could find, but he spots a lone tree which gave him an idea "Ah, that'll do!". He pushes through the crowd, and climbs up the tree, settling himself on a strong branch, enough to bare the weight of himself. He leaned against the center of the tree as he looks yonder at the stage, still eating the few apples he had with him...

Holy crap! Someone was introducing themselves to me.Now,normally,I'm the type of person who,in a futile attempt,tries to look social,but it usually fails miserably,because I can't make eye contact very well at all,and I'm just all-around not very social.But of course,I'd be forced to make due.Someone was looking right at me,and speaking.
"No,actually.I flew here."I said with the most realistic smile I could muster.Fortunately,smiles came naturally with speaking for me,but I still could'nt make that freakin' eye contact!Oh well.(I say 'oh well' way too much).She seemed nice enough.

"Flew? Was it long?" Gem noticed that her eyes always looked to the side, never contacting with hers. "Heh, I guess there's not a lot of chameleons that talk where you come from." Gem said then took a sip from her smootie.

(Amazing how much you miss in a day)
Doshi went to the stage, and not finding a good place to sit, climbed a tree. He produced binoculars and a taperecorder from his bookbag. turning the taperecoder on, he started to look at the crowd through his binoculars.

Blood came to a screeching halt when he was close enough to see the stage well enough. He tilted his back a bit to slide Strangie off his saddle and back onto his own feet. Not much had happened yet, the music was still playing, the gathering crowd was growing steadily as it should.
"You can go off and do whatever you like, I'm gonna stick around this area and watch what happens. " Blood took a seat on the grass, enjoying the ocean breeze, the moonlight and the music.

"What, you think I let you take me all this way just so I could leave?" Strangie said with a smirk, landing on the grass on his feet. "I might as well stick around and watch, since I'm already here."
He took a seat on the grass, folding his legs yoga-style. He let his hands fall to his lap, looking up at the entertainment presented to him. He wondered what kind of act these guys had worked up... he also wondered if it was going to be any good.

As the sun sets, the play begins, a green Yoshi staggering onstage and pleading, "Oh no, I am sick, whatever shall I do!?", and falling over comically.
The rest of the play isn't much better than that, despite it being a fairly..serious story, it's very silly all-in-all, a story depicting the deathly ill Yoshi, and how a human boy who washed up ashore searched the island for a cure, and having found it, cured him, in return, the Yoshies gave the boy a ride back to the mainland. The hilight of the story comes with a cape-clad Yoshi(playing the young hero), raises a crystal shard, and places it in a glass of purple water, the water turning clear. The 'ill' Yoshi then drinks the water, gets better, blah blah. There are some panicked shouts behind stage, and an audible shattering sound in the middle of the play, but it continues without a beat...
After that, there are a few comic shows, mostly skits involving Three Stooges-like comedy in some way. Some Yoshies wander off during these, while the others stay until they're over, laughing at all the right times, and as the..oddly large moon rises in the sky, all that's left is the orchestra playing some music for the night-time of the fair. There is some talk of the moon, and a Yoshi walking by Strangie and Blood mentions his sick relative to a friend, but other than that, the night is uneventful, and the crowds have dispersed, but the games are still going, as are various entertainers, and of course, the buffet table.
(I'm going to be gone all day tomorrow, possibly, so my reply will come when I come back. If people haven't posted by then, they will recieve an X in the rules topic unless they explain themselves.)

"Man, they should have given us a pamphlet or something. I'm kinda hesitant to watch something I know nothing about, y'know?" Blood said to Strangie. "Ah, well. Since there's not much to do elsewhere, I guess we can just wait for it to end."
Blood shifted around impatiently, unable to sit still. He had dropped into this village so suddenly, and next thing he knew, he was making friends with a stranger... Named Strangie. Something in the pit of his stomach told him that something bad was going to happen very soon.
"Hunh..."

I laid back and closed my eyes, taking in the orchestrated music for the second time this night.
The depiction of how the festival first started seemed to be a hit with most of the locals, but the visitors started to look bored afterwards. I sat through the skits; they were different every year, but I still somehow knew exactly when to laugh.
I opened my eyes and glanced around to see if I could find anyone, but most partygoers had left to find the nighttime excitement.
I was about ready to leave, but then I recalled the crashing sounds behind the stage. Was that part of the show this year, or had there been a disagreement? Or was there something... else? I decided to check it out, since I had nothing better to do; nowhere in particular to be.
I slowly creeped behind the stage on the hill, and saw blackness. Knowing there was probably something in there I couldn't see, I warily tiptoed into the shadows.

Boomeister watched the various plays and skits from his position at the buffet table, laughing at the slapstick humor and bad acting, though the play did teach him something new about the islands history. He glanced around, it seemed that most of the crowd had left for the night leaving just a few clusters of people who were either talking or participating in the few activities that were still going on. Sighing, he once again looked around for something to keep himself busy. He noticed a green yoshi sneaking behind the stage, "What do curious yoshies do behind an empty stage at this time? let's find out..." he said to himself as he faded from view, turning invisible, as he floated backstage.

It was night time now and Twi was still next to Moot with his large plate of fruit which, by now, was reduced to nothing. Twi was unamused and uniterested by the happenings on stage, he never really had a sence of humour, and infact had never really seen any preformances on stage, he just stood and watched as the unusually large moon was in the sky. People were looking around for the night entertainment. The green yoshi he had seen near him a few hours ago at the buffet table had sneaked behind the stage in the distance, something Twi could easily see. He took another melon and swallowed it whole, there was only a couple of apples and a bunch of red grapes left. Twi sat back down after he stood up to see the performances and slouched in his seat. He looked back at Moot, he thought he should say something to spark a convosation so he doesn't seem so weird, he didn't really know a question to ask, but after a few seconds contemplation he asked "So...what are your plans for tomorrow." A silly question he thought to himself, but something that could help him later perhaps.

While the show went on, Strangie seemed to enjoy the Three Stooges skits more than anything else. Simple humor for a simple soul...?
"Good times," he said after the main parts were over. He looked up at the large moon in the background. "The moon... it looks awfully full tonight, doesn't it?" Strangie said to Blood. He turned his head towards the voice of the Yoshi mentioning his sick relative. He then turned back to Blood. "Hmm... I don't think Yoshis get sick very often on this island, do they?" He questioned, shifting back around to look at the unusually large moon.
