[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.

Rin. Rin Faolain. Erin, actually, but just call me Rin. [ He's smiling again. ] Pleasure to meet you, Segan!
no subject
It's a pleasure to meet you too!
[ Wow, making friends is actually easy here. This is kind of really awesome???
Oh, lifting her beer in your direction now. ]
Cheers?
no subject
Um. Hold that thought.
[ He waves down the bartender for a refill. When he gets it, he lifts his glass to Segan. ]
Cheers to the smart people.
no subject
Once you've both taken a swig: ]
What program are you in, Rin?
no subject
The regular Special one. Would have tried the Advance Special classes, but I think I'd die.
Are you enrolled at Balamb too?
no subject
[ Ehehe, the one you just said you'd die in. ]
no subject
Whoa, that's... whoa. Congratulations? I mean, I'd take that program, but I really, really think I'd die. There's like, combat classes and I can't even lift a gun. Or hit someone. I'd fucking break if I tried.
no subject
Thanks. [ Grinning a little. ] Learning how to fight is mostly just practice, though. I used to suck at it too.
[ And then her dad and her siblings stuck by her and taught her everything that they could. ]
no subject
[ And he knows he's got a limit.
Sort of.
In some ways. ]
...Maybe you can help me? With the whole fighting thing.
no subject
[ She does like helping people out. ]
I have a feeling, though, that the instructors you'll be getting in Special Cases will be able to teach you better. Maybe I could just give you pointers?
no subject
I'd like not to die, really.
no subject
[ She can do tech, but any other strangeness beyond that? She's got a long way to go there. ]
no subject
[ Grins ]
no subject
[ And probably be judgy, because... yeah... ]
no subject
[ Because that's more fun. ]
no subject
Chuckling, and going for another swig of her drink. ]
That works for me too.
