D.J. checked his pockets when he got home from school. He wanted to finish off the outhouse. It's almost two weeks in since he's been here and he's been using the Lounge or Onsen to use the facilities. He couldn't wait to finally have something close to his tent so he didn't have to keep running a distance just to go to the bathroom. It was too cold outside to find a nearby bush.
D.J. was only carrying 406 simoleons. He knew there was a festival of light today. He called up his boss early enough to see if it was alright to call out and not have the workplace be short a staff member. But his boss told him to go ahead and have a good time. He's earned some vacation days and he can use one. The place can manage without him for the evening.
D.J. decided to not use his simoleons that he saved up right now to finish off the outhouse. Instead he wanted to see if there's anything at the festival he might want to buy. He bought a few Simmies at the last festival he attended. Maybe there's other rare ones at this one. He still had the three he bought. He thought about selling them for simoleons, but wanted something to keep as a collection.
The festival wouldn't start for another three hours, so D.J. thought he'd get some wall climbing in. Enele has texted him a couple times asking how he was doing. D.J. responded that he thinks he's ready to climb actual rocks instead of the wall now.
It was a cloudy evening as D.J. headed to the Park. That is where the festival was being held. He was here yesterday enjoying a walk on the trails that extended out from it. He saw many dressed up in fancy garbs and introduced himself to one of them. He then noticed many, if not all, in attendance were wearing different colored and stylized kimonos. The gentleman also explained one should bow as a form of greeting at the festival.
D.J. was shown where he could purchase one and it's customary to wear it at the festival. He wanted to buy something nice from the festival, but he didn't realize he would be spending 300 simoleons on something to wear.
The Yamachan mascot was present, so D.J. had to get another selfie taken with it.
The Yamachan then told D.J. to make a wish and add it to the tree behind them. He may get lucky. D.J. went over to the tree and found a blank paper and wrote down that he wished he had the perfect mountain climb with Enele and his family. When he was done, he hung it on the tree with all the other wishes that were made.
D.J.'s stomach started to growl, so he found one of the vendor carts and ordered something made specifically for the festival. He loved trying new foods here. By surprise, the vendor was the one who mentioned the festival yesterday before he went on his hike. No wonder he was advertising it. He had a part in it.
Greeting the vendor, D.J. mentioned about their passing at the Lounge yesterday. The vendor remembered and offered some of his cuisine for 25% off. D.J. ordered the Beef Yakisoba.
This was also the first time D.J. had used chopsticks to eat. It was a struggle at first, but he managed the technique with the guidance of the others at the table he sat at. He also made some new friends as he spent the rest of his time getting to know the other three at the table as well. They talked the rest of the night until the announcement was made the festival was coming to a close.
