[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.

[That is an awfully sensible attitude. Why Estanislao cannot be more like you, she really does not know.]

I do not think this constitutes working by any means. Only that the air around the kennel becomes rather stuffy at times, is all. Dogs such as myself need to walk.

[Yes, she just referred to the Marasigan-Fukuzawa household as her kennel.]

[ Chuckling at that, because she's kind of really getting used to coarse soldier humor. ]

Do you mind some company? I've been asked to check on the establishments in this area tonight.
naberus: (004)

[personal profile] naberus 2014-08-23 04:08 pm (UTC)(link)
I do not mind.

[She really doesn't. She respects you a lot. She understood you better than Taning ever did about the fact of your leaving, a few years ago. He had ever been the Romantic, that man. Not this one. This one is cold pragmatic.]

Did you wish to discuss something?
therealbrianna: (57)

[personal profile] therealbrianna 2014-08-23 04:15 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Um... ]

Not... really...?

[ Ehehehe. ]
naberus: (009)

[personal profile] naberus 2014-08-23 04:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Hmm. Talking is overrated, anyway.

[It's not, but she's fine with just your company, anyway. It's nice walking with a fellow wolf, even a... what's this time period's word for it? A ditzy one.]
therealbrianna: (65)

[personal profile] therealbrianna 2014-08-23 04:31 pm (UTC)(link)
It can be, huh?

[ Sometimes! Um! With people like you! Yeah!

... orz

Now she is suddenly shy. ]
naberus: (009)

[personal profile] naberus 2014-08-23 04:38 pm (UTC)(link)
[She senses your discomfort and does not understand your reticence.

Go figure. The Most Eloquent Marquis of Hell, and then some.

Fine then, she will do the talking.]


How go your duties in Arcadia?
therealbrianna: (59)

[personal profile] therealbrianna 2014-08-23 04:41 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Oh, you're talking! Okay, this is good~ ]

Pretty well. Selene and Tala take care of most of it these days, though.

[ Slight eyeroll there. ]

Good thing, too. I'm getting a little tired of all the Court stuff.
naberus: (009)

[Reading between the lines...]

There is a time for words and a time for swords, is that it?
therealbrianna: (60)

[personal profile] therealbrianna 2014-08-23 05:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, tell me about it!

[ Lady, the stories she could tell you...

...If you wanted to hear them. Um. Yeaaah. ]
naberus: (012)

[personal profile] naberus 2014-08-23 05:19 pm (UTC)(link)
[She is... amused. This isn't difficult, Brianna.]

Are the faeries being faeries, then? I have had the distinct pleasure of meeting some of them. They are... interesting company.
therealbrianna: (63)

[personal profile] therealbrianna 2014-08-23 05:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Interesting would be the word for it on a good day. Most of the time, they're just annoying.

[ Getting a Look on her face now. Most Fae don't fly by her book. You know her history. ]
naberus: (Default)

[personal profile] naberus 2014-08-23 05:38 pm (UTC)(link)
And how many good days have they had, by your book?

[She knows that look, and likes it.
therealbrianna: (67)

[personal profile] therealbrianna 2014-08-23 06:41 pm (UTC)(link)
On a regular basis?

[ Pretending to think now, with that little smirk that would tell anybody with a brain that there's a reason why she's Wolfborn, and one of the Fairest. ]

I'd say two in a month. Maybe three, if they're particularly good.
naberus: (001)

[personal profile] naberus 2014-08-23 07:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Perhaps I will go with you sometime, then, if the courts are as abjectly infuriating as you say. It could prove to be quite instructional.

[Instructional in the ways of graceful violence, she means.]
therealbrianna: (54)

[personal profile] therealbrianna 2014-08-23 07:21 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Catching the way that you use the word "instructional", and this is kind of you, so...

Hee. ]


Oh, you definitely should. I would be honored to have you with me during one of my engagements there.
naberus: (006)

[personal profile] naberus 2014-08-25 11:27 am (UTC)(link)
The pleasure is all mine, Lady Lopez.

[Said with a respectful little bow. Such a perfect gentlewoman, this demon.]
therealbrianna: (//012)

[personal profile] therealbrianna 2014-08-25 11:31 am (UTC)(link)
I guess that means that Taning will have to come too?

[ Which is okay by her, and probably can't be avoided since you guys are joined to the brain, right... ]
naberus: (009)

[personal profile] naberus 2014-08-25 04:02 pm (UTC)(link)
I think he would be rather too busy to come, what with his... escapades in outer space. There is also the matter of his young pup. His spouse is rather unhappy with his extended absences, come to that.

[There is a faint hint of amusement in her face at this. That's what you get, Taning, for being away far too long from your frankly quite wonderful wife. Lionesses don't like it when the lion isn't around.]
therealbrianna: (//002)

[personal profile] therealbrianna 2014-08-25 04:21 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Oh, right. ]

There is that! I guess it'll just be a girl date, then.

[ :D :D :D ]
naberus: (006)

[personal profile] naberus 2014-08-27 05:49 am (UTC)(link)
[... You have a way with words that is entirely your own, Brianna. That commands a measure of respect.]

It seems so. I look forward to it, Lady.

[She really does.

She'll walk in silence with you for now, content to field whatever concerns you might have, should you have them.]
