I think you might be onto something. Wow, that would've been depressing a minute ago!
[ But now he's got his girlfriend and everything is peaches! How lucky. He squeezes Noire's hand and drags her along to the nearest booth. When the merchant looks at him, he questions: ]
Say, what's this festival all about?
[ The merchant explains that it's the annual "Love is War" Gathering! It's a hot spot for travelers to find love and couples to strengthen their bond.
Everyone who arrives in this realm comes automatically bearing a Token of Love -- a small placard bearing the owner's name and face. They say that whoever holds the Token at sundown will become bound by fate to the Token's owner. Thus, couples typically exchange their placards, and single people use this as their chance to find a new fated romance.
But travelers beware: not everyone arrives with good intentions. Some look to pilfer the Tokens of promising strangers, forcing their fates to intertwine. Their motivations can vary from greed to desperation to simple attraction. In any case, it's important to protect your Token from unwanted attention. It's common for fights to break out in the name of love...
Hopefully, it won't be a major problem this year. Just keep an eye on your Token; it should be somewhere on your person. It doesn't hurt to double-check that it's safe and sound! ]
