[Open, Major Event] 12 June 2066




Over the course of the last week, you'll have likely noticed the buzz and excitement that's been building all around Metro Manila -- if you've been around awhile, you know what time of the year it is. If you're new: well, this is an experience you're sure to enjoy.
The festive mood surrounding Philippine Independence Day is hard to miss. Wander around the metropolis and you'll note that the streets are filled with tourists and locals; turn one corner and you'll see parades, turn another and you may be treated to performances set up on strategically placed stages.
As for Falner, the colors of the Philippine flag seem to be everywhere you look: the kids who live or study at the estate are mostly running around with their faces painted. If you wander down towards the Fair Grounds in the South District, there are a couple of booths set up offering anything from body paint and temporary tattoos to local delicacies. West District establishments The King's Rest and Liquidated also have special treats aligned with the theme of the day. There's also talk about the annual street party which will be held over at the Baywalk later this evening, and the younger initiates are abuzz over the yearly light show held over Manila Bay that showcase reenactments of all the major battles all the way up to the Darkest Vigil.
Independence Day is also not all that's being celebrated, because for Keepers of the Vigil and supernatural communities all over the world, today marks the second anniversary of Arcis Fortress City.
OOC NOTES FOR PLAYERS | |||
|
coming by to see you sometime before 6pm, babe.
I see you're still here.
[ He's going to go park the car in a bit, but he wanted to say hi. ]
mai hani '^'
Is that so surprising?
[ Hello, love. Welcome back. ]
asdlfkjh pfffft
Not really. Anybody interesting come up?
[ He had to ask. He was out seeing to His People over at the Towers because some of them wanted to put in overtime in spite of the holiday and he needed to at least bring the festivities to them. ]
no subject
[ And now, a Look at that car. ]
I could drive that thing over to the garage for you, you know.
[ Without you or him having to leave, that is. ]
no subject
But no. ]
Give me a few and I'll be right back.
[ A wink your way, gorgeous, before he's driving off and guiding the car into the garage. He's coming around in about ten minutes or so and joining you at the fountain.
You'll notice he has a little paper bag with him. The brand is one you'd know that specializes for kids. ]
no subject
Oh, there you are. Ahem. ]
So that's where you went.
[ With a look at that bag. ]
no subject
He's going to drop a kiss to your shoulder and then set the bag down between his feet. ]
Not sure if she'll use them though. But I was driving through the Fort and it was kind of... there.
[ It's shoes in her size: canvass sneakers, tiny Doc Martens. School's starting and yes, Lyall's got the uniform, but Wednesdays are dress-down days for a reason. ]
no subject
I'm sure she will. You got them for her.
[ And you're kind of... his... so... ]
no subject
She's a sweetheart. She deserves nice things.
[ And there's that matter of him wondering if she's going to warm up to him eventually. She's deferential, but that's kind of... not what he's hoping for. ]
Has she come by?
no subject
[ And right now she is... ah. There. Okay. He can breathe a little easier. ]
She's wandering around right now.
[ On his suggestion, of course. She wouldn't have left if he didn't ask her to.
(Sigh.) ]
no subject
At least the duckling's off treading water?
[ Even if she did need a little bit of a push. ]
no subject
Yeah. I think she's finally getting used to this place.
no subject
Time usually helps.
[ He takes a breath. ]
So. School on Monday, huh?
no subject
[ And then: ]
Right, who am I kidding? This is you.
no subject
Seriously though, he's grinning at that. ]
You know me.
[ Tilting his head your way now and smiling. There's a look in his eyes though that may clue you in that he wasn't asking out of the blue for no reason. ]
no subject
Yen for your thoughts?
[ What are you thinking, LaRue... ]
no subject
Babygirl's starting classes with the rest.
[ An apologetic look now. Sorry, babe. had to ask. She's kind of... in the program that puts her in his. And... yours. ]
no subject
Look distinctly uncomfortable for a second, and staring down at his hands. ]
Yeah, she is.
[ Was his voice a little soft back there? Yep. ]
no subject
Talk to me?
[ Slipping his hand into yours now and tangling his fingers with your own. ]
no subject
[ And you know that when he gets clipped, it's probably Very Bad. ]
Let's just see how things go for her from here, I suppose.
[ Because there is only so much that he can do. ]
no subject
Hikaru, [ soft, patient and with That particular tone ( read: talk to me, I don't care if you think it sounds silly or wrong, just-- ) ] Talk to me.
no subject
It hurts a little, every time she addresses me as her King. It didn't used to.
[ Or had it? Had he just ignored it for as long as he possibly could? It's hard to tell, at this point. ]
no subject
You want to go inside for a bit? [ Saying that softly, even if his mind's already thinking where the two of you could go.
He's willing to bet that this might be a talk you'd prefer somewhere private. ]
no subject
[ His connection to his Wardens has also informed him of something interesting. His mother is in the country for Independence Day. She might just call on him tonight. ]
Let's talk later. I need to get my thoughts on this together anyway.
no subject
I'm good with whatever you're good with. [ And he means it. You need space and time to think this thing over, he'll give you as much of it as you need — at least until he feels that there's a need for an intervention.
There isn't one at the moment, though. A need, that is. ]
What time's duty?
[ He's coming to his feet, and his hand is not leaving yours in the least. ]
