+ No God Modding. You cannot play any oneroi or person other than yourself, not even to help a friend who could not be there participate in an event. Sorry.
+ Do not cheat. If I found out you rolled something, deleted the post, and rerolled to hopefully improve your score, you will be disqualified and I will be very upset. And you wouldn't like me when I'm upset. >.>
+ Try to have fun even if there are no events currently going on. Depending on how many people are participating or how often people post the games may go by quickly so try to find something in a different area to do. Hang out with a friend, get something to eat, play on the playground. Whichever. Just have fun! See next rule for why!
+ The winner of each game will have a picture drawn of their oneroi playing the game, or if the event has no winner a drawing will be done of the funniest, cutest, or most entertaining part. The images will be put together like photos and displayed in the shop front.
+ All ages does not really mean all ages. For those of you who have toddlers or eggs your children will probably have trouble playing some of the games. I would suggest they watch or stick to area B. They are allowed to participate in the Slip n slide if they are watched very carefully to make sure none of the older kids squish them and they are allowed to watch the fireworks display. Again, under supervision, they are allowed to catch fireflies and roast marshmallows (Don't let them burn themselves!).
+ Mods are not allowed to make themselves win even if they govern over the area of the event. They also will not try to help one team or player win. It's all the luck of the generator and we hold no bias.
+ Children must wear their swim suits under their clothes. There is no place to change so that can get rather awkward.
+ If you are not finished with an rp based event you are allowed to carry it into the next day during other events as long as it doesn't conflict with the next event location.
+ RP events are completely unrestricted by the hours listed below. If you wish to do that rp all day, by all means, I encourage it. The specific times are listed as the times in which the more structured events occur such as the limbo contest and the tug o war. It is just so everyone is there around the same time and can participate together.The event is divided into 7 real time days so that if someone is busy for a few days they can at least have an opportunity to participate in a few events. However, for the oneroi the events here lasted only one day. One day of fun! biggrin

 Each park Area has a Moderator who will be in that area almost constantly watching the children as they play and making sure no one gets hurt. Also, different activities will take place in different areas so get to know the layout.
Area A
Moderator: Iria Cereus
Area A contains the food and Drinks which include Watermelon, Hot dogs, Strawberries, chips Burgers, Popsicles, and cake. The Drinks are Beer, Coke, Dr. Pepper, Iced Tea, Root Beer, Water, and Sprite. It also contains a radio which plays far enough for all areas to hear it and a port-o-potty for those moments when you just have to go and a trash can so that no one litters! It's a great hang out for the adults while the children are playing.
Area B
Moderator: Deshi
Area B is for the children who do not wish to take part in the games currently going on or those who are not yet old enough. This area contains a slide, a swing set, a see-saw, and a merry-go-round. It is also right next to the food and bathroom for their convenience.
Area C
Moderators: Raine and Lucifer
Area C is a relatively wide open area where games and races are to be held. The two trees can even be the finish line! It has two patches of beautiful flowers for making necklaces and headbands and even a stump to rest on between games.
Area D
Moderator: Kemis
Area D continues from Area C and is more for the smaller or more intimate games or combines with area C if more room is needed for an event. There's even a hammock for a nap, but you'd have to ask Kemis before using it or he might get mad!

Each day of the event will hold one to two games. Some games have age restrictions that prevent some of the oneroi from participating in them, but there will always be something going on that your oneroi can do so don't worry about being left out. If all else fails, they can always use that time to play on the playground or get something to eat.
Red Light, Green Light - For those who don't know how to play each player starts off at the same line. The "it" person yells "Green Light" and everyone begins running toward the finish line. At any moment during that time "it" can yell "Red Light" meaning everyone has to stop where they are. If they do not stop then they are out. The first person to reach the finish line is the winner.
At the start of the game let the monitor of the assigned area know you are playing. They will put you into the lineup. When the It person says "Green Light" in green then everyone playing must post once describing your participating character running while making an action post generating a random number from 1 to 10. You may only post once during a green light unless you are posting for multiple oneroi. After everyone has posted the "it" person will yell red light and tally up the numbers. Plenty of time will be given between them for you to post. The number you randomly generated will be 'the distance you ran' and it will be tallied each turn you take. The first person to reach 50 wins.
Limbo Contest - The rules are simple enough. A bar will be held by two people and the participants will have to walk under it, bending backward as it gets lower and lower. If you fall backward or cannot go under it without touching the bar then you are out. The winner is the last person able to go under the bar.
Let the moderator of that area know you are playing and he/she will make a list of what order each player is to go (if 20 minutes passes and you have not taken your turn you are disqualified). When it is your turn to go under the bar make an action post generating a random number from 1 to 10. If the number is Even then you have made it under the bar successfully! If it is odd then you are out!
Water Balloon Fight - There are no rules for this game and there is no winner. It is strictly rp based and this event is left up to the imagination of the participants themselves. Be creative. Claim base, make teams, collect hostages! It's all out WAR!
Spin the Bottle - The participants gather around a glass bottle and each take turns spinning it. Whoever the bottle points to the person who spun the bottle must kiss.
Let the moderator of that area know you are playing and each participant will be given a number (the list of each assigned number will be posted). When it is your turn, depending on the number of players, make an action post to generate a number from 1 to the number of players. The number it generates will match with the number assigned to a player and therefore you must kiss them! On the lips! No wussing out either!
Karaoke - I hope you have the courage to sing in front of everyone at the picnic! Select a song and belt out a melody!
There are no rules. It is first come, first serve. Select any song you wish and have your oneroi (or the owner) sing it. Post the lyrics and put down any actions they might be doing while singing. Maybe they're drunk. Maybe they dedicated it to a loved one. Maybe they dance! Maybe they are really bad at it! Have fun with this! It also shows what kind of music your oneroi likes so we learn in the process! Hooray for education! Also, allow time to pass after each song before someone else takes a turn.
Dunking Booth - Throw the baseball and hit the bulls eye and you can send one of your favorite NPCs (or a preregistered oneroi) into the water!
Post that you are throwing the ball and make an action post that generates a number from 1 to 10. If it is even, you hit the target! If it's odd, you fail. You get 3 tries though so have at it! Take turns and allow the NPC time to get back on its seat again before going. Don't let it get too chaotic.
Pie Toss - Toss a pie at your favorite NPC and this time they can't hurt you for it!
No real rule. Just go one at a time and allow the NPC time to 'clean themselves off' between throws. Don't let it get too chaotic. Go as many times as you wish.
Fireworks - Sit down and watch the fun!
Invite someone special to watch the fireworks with you. Isn't it romantic?
Slip-n-Slide - A large blue slip n slide is set up for the children to slide on! Get wet and don't forget to cover yourself in soap to go EXTRA fast!
RP based, just have fun with it!
Tug o War - Two teams, one rope, NO MERCY! Each team grabs and end of the rope and pull until the ribbon in the center of the rope passes over the line on the ground on their side.
This requires teamwork! First let the mod for that section know what team you are on, A or B. Some people may be switched around if too many people want on one side or if there are too many adults and teens on one side that would make them (visually) stronger. When the mod says "GO" both teams begin to pull. Each member of the team is given 10 minutes to make one action post rolling a number from 1 to 10. The numbers each player generated will be added together and become the score for that team. This will repeat until a team reaches 70. That team will be the winner.
Marshmallow Roasting - Put the marshmallow on a stick and hold it over the fire until it's a crispy black! Then you can make some s'mores!
Rp event. This icky sticky mess is a great snack for the children and fun too!
Firefly Catching - How many fireflies can YOU catch in a jar?
Get a jar from Iria and you have free reign over the park! Catch lots of fireflies but don't forget to let them out again when you are done!
Bobbing for Apples - Dunk your head in the bucket of water and apples and see if you can bite down and pick up an apple!
Post that you are bobbing for apples and make an action post that generates a number from 1 to 10. If it is even, you caught one! If it's odd, you fail.

The bus Iria had been saving up to rent finally stopped on the lush green grass of the little downtown park. It was almost completely cleared out though none of the others were in the areas they had reserved for the event. The sun was bright and warm, a breeze was balancing itself with the warmth to make it that perfect temperature, and the air smelled like freshly mowed grass, flowers, and dirt. The ride there had been far from relaxing. Packing that many rowdy children and disgruntled teens in one tightly contained area was enough to make the whole day feel lost from the start. Had stepping off that bus not made such a stark contrast from hell to heaven they would have turned around and gone home without a second thought.
Iria stood up in the front of the bus just as the driver turned the key and the gentle engine humming came to a sudden silence.
"Alright, everyone! If I could have your attention!" She waited until the noise had died down to a somewhat reasonable hum before continuing. "It's going to take a little while for us to set up the food area and the first two events so everyone just mingle for a bit, help out if you want, and we'll be ready in no time. Please exit the bus in an orderly fashion. We'll go by rows."

"She's acting like this is a kindergarten field trip." Takuto whispered to Kemis from his seat behind him.
Kemis didn't seem to mind. The chaos of the bus ride had put him in a perfectly content mood and he couldn't help but grinning like an idiot. Before chaos had been plaguing him, now it was like an invisible meal that fed him whenever present. He wasn't sure if that was very good either but it made him feel good so it didn't bother him all that much.
"It's just easier if you humor her."

Raven bounced up and down in her seat, practically screaming at the top of her lungs and banging on her drum like there was no tomorrow.
"LET'S GO ALREADY!!" she shouted in excitement.
Sara put a hand on Raven's shoulder and forced her back into her seat.
"Enough Raven, Iria will let us off when she lets us off and not a moment sooner,"
Raven whined loudly.
"But I want to go NOW!"
Sara sighed. She felt more and more like a teen every day, having to deal with Raven. But she still had a long childhood ahead of her before she made that transition.
"Soon Raven, soon I promise. Please, stop banging,"
Raven sat and quieted down, though she pouted. Her first outing and she was being told to calm down. The pressure to get outside was killing her.

"Alright, starting with the back!" She raised her voice slightly as she gestured toward the back of the bus, making sure they heard her. "Let's make this quick and painless, please. We all need some fresh air after that ride."
It was quick and slightly painless but before long everyone was out in the wide open space of the little park and free to stretch their legs a bit.
"Now, everyone stay in the designated area! Don't get lost! Buddy system, kids!"

Ginka sat next to Sheldon, combing back the pins that laced the fibers of her rag doll. Sheldon smiled down at her but she only replied back with the yellow gaze of hers. "So, are you excited?" he said down towards her. Ginka did not reply but combed back the pins again and pinched her father. "Ow..!" he yelped. He was used to all these negative moments from her. In his opinion, it was only her way of saying she loved him. Though, more of a painful reminder of it. When he perked his ears up at the one calling for the bus to be unloaded, Ginka got up to walk. Sheldon lightly pulled her back though. "We are not in the back." he simply said. She just stood there before taking a seat on his lap. He just grimaced it. She was definitely planning something.

"The Wheels on the bus go beep beep beep!! Oh wait...that's not right." Bya had been happily singing to her somber looking baby the whole trip. Most likely annoying a few people since she sang them wrong or made up her own words to make them funnier. But at the call to get off the bus she had her little dumpling in her arms and was making her way down the asile, she had to stop for a bottle neck infront of Ginka and Sheldon.
Penny had tried not to be forced to clap and dance while her mother sang but that was out of her abilities. She couldn't wait to grow up. The dark haired baby took in their surroundings, shaking her little thundercloud rattle a bit. Then she saw the yellow eyed, green haired girl sitting near her. She blinked slowly at her, unafraid, then the Despair Oneroi gave a little wave.

Raven pushed people out of her way as she stepped off the bus.
"Move it, stupid slow pokes!" she glared at everyone and looked around at the park area, trying to find the best place to set up her drum.
Sara sighed and began apologizing.
"Sorry. Sorry, sorry! Raven isn't very good with people. Raven!" she danced her way nimbly through the throngs of Oneroi and owners, trying to catch up with her sister. "Slow down! You heard what Iria said! Buddy system!"
Crimson seemed to be the last off of the bus. Not really in a hurry and not liking the loud noise anyways, she stepped down out of the bus quietly and surveyed her surroundings.
"Well," she mused quietly to herself. "This should be interesting. Re-awakened Dream Priests and crazy owners. What could go wrong?"

Wren stepped heavily off the bus in a pouting manner. There was definitely something gloomy in the air around her. What was the point of such a nice day without someone special to share it with?
Over the time that Lewis had been in dreaming she had gone through many different changes. She had tried dating other people and that had not proved fruitful. In fact, it left her miserable and lonely. The more crappy guys she saw the more she learned to appreciate Lewis more. There WAS no other guy, not for her at least.
But he had been so mad at her. He would never take her back after what she did.
In short, she was doomed.
"Let's just get this over with..." She sighed and went to the back of the bus to help Kemis and Iria unload the food and equipment.
Takuto wasn't doing so well either. He had been feeling much better lately but his mother was taking every possible precaution to keep him safe.
"Just sit here and don't move. Don't even blink if it's too much effort! If you feel weak, call me! Here's a stump under a tree so you have shade. If you get overheated have one of the christmas oneroi cool you off a bit. I'm sure Pipermint won't mind. If you can't find her Iria has an ice chest. Just.... Stay put!"
Takuto grumbled as his mother walked away. There was no point of him even BEING there. He should have just asked to stay home. He KNEW she wouldn't let him play.
He had given up...

Raven had set her self up in a quiet corner of Area C, near the two trees...well it had been quiet.
She picked up her child sized drumsticks and began to actually attempt to create rhythm with her drum. She wasn't as good with it as Sara was, but practice makes perfect and so she plowed onwards regardless.
Sara stood in Area A watching the grown ups unload the food and drinks. She'd spotted Takuto near Raven, but hadn't said hello. After the first time she'd met him, she'd been careful to, if not avoid him, at least not get in his way. She hadn't forgotten how he'd snapped at her.
Now, feeling a little braver, she waved at him, hoping he still wasn't mad at her.
Crimson left her two kids to themselves. More than likely they wouldn't get into too much trouble, as Raven didn't like people and Sara got along with just about everybody.
She grabbed a carton of soda from Wren and set it down in Area A. Going back to get another, she caught sight of Wren's face and how unhappy she was. Still, Crimson wasn't going to push an issue that Wren might not want to talk about and so instead she opted for a different approach.
"Hey Wren," she said, smiling at the teen. "How are you today?"

Sheldon eyed the female and the young one that seemed to be in her arms. The small one was adorable and Sheldon lightly waved to it just to smile. Ginka eyed the young female but made no attempt to wave back. Rather, she pulled a pin from her rag doll and slowly pointed it in the direction of the young child. "Geh...!" Sheldon choked. He quickly snatched the pin away but accidentally pierced it into his skin. He held back a cry of pain as he watched a small dot of red form a little bit away from his thumb. Ginka pointed to the wound and spoke the word, "Masochist." She wasn't fond of speaking. But every other new word she learned was always spoken to Sheldon. But apparently, this was the only one she called him. "Masochist." she spoke again as she hoped from his lap. He sighed as he watched her walk. "Such a mystery..." he muttered.
