            ANNOUNCING NOHWA’S 56TH ANNUAL SUMMER FEST 

At the end of every June, the village of Nohwa scrapes together enough funds to throw an island-wide celebration. To give the hard working citizens a week of fun and entertainment -- out of line from every other week in the East Sea -- an equal amount of hard work is put into making this event happen: volunteers set up a few carnival rides, food stalls, a stage, and decorate the field next to the Ahn family orchard. With a mix of week-long events and day-specific entertainment, Summer Fest is the highlight of the warmer months for many. Festivals like this rarely go as planned and this year will surely be one                                                    no one will ever forget.

In-character, this event takes place between June 25, 8:00 AM KST to July 1, 11:00 PM KST; however out-of-character participation may start immediately and new threads may not be created beyond July 6, 11:59 PM KST. Please read below for ic events and participation details!

HOW TO PARTICIPATE / 

Participation is not mandatory, but is encouraged! In order to participate please either create threads surrounding the various events listed above or follow the instructions below.

Other than the typical events that will be seen at Summer Fest, something else will happen that will change the lives of one or more of the residents of Nohwa. In order to figure out what happened and where your muse was when it occurred, a “choose your own adventure” style game will take place. Here is how it will work:

There are up to 10 decisions your muse can make; their decisions will not only affect them, but those around them (tread carefully!)

Each choice must be solidified by a 100+ word post; this must be done on one post that is updated with every new decision. Treat this as a solo of your muse throughout this fateful night (3rd person para format, please tag these posts with  노화: sf18 7.1). After the post is written/updated, please send it to the main blog through messages

Once the choice has been submitted, new choices will open up. The new options will be send to you through messages as soon as possible

This process of writing-submitting-receiving will continue until your muse gets through the choices or until you decide to not participate

THE FIRST PROMPT: It’s the last day of Summer Fest and the majority of the citizens (if not all) will be watching the fireworks show that begins soon. Does your muse go to the fairgrounds to view the fireworks or do they go somewhere else?
