[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 | |||

no subject
I'm sure you did.
[ She is now extending her hand for your offering of vodka. ]
no subject
[He's handing you the bottle as he says that.]
How have you been?
no subject
[ She's going to open that bottle of space vodka, and since you didn't bring her a glass, she will take a swig from it, and will not share. Hah. ]
no subject
Point. Hey, kind of easy to lose track of time up there, you know?
[He's just gonna lean against a tree and smoke while you work on that bottle of vodka alone. You don't really have to talk, he honestly just missed everyone. Which he isn't ever gonna explain to you lest you laugh at him forever.]
no subject
[ She says it in her usual "you're dumb, I can't believe you exist" tone, too. Did you miss that as well? ]
no subject
Oy, try having random stars screwing up your body clock, see what happens.
[He can believe that you are talking about this, but only barely.]
no subject
no subject
[Yes, yes, he knows you'll probably rib him for missing things.]
no subject
[ Smile. ] I'm sure you get network updates in space. [ What was it that you said years ago? "Talking to you is like pulling out teeth." ]
No one's died [ yet ] if that is what you are asking.
no subject
[A long pause, punctuated by clouds of cigarette smoke.]
You're starting to get bored, aren't you? It's not like there's a lot to do down here, for you.
no subject
And there isn't a lot for me to do up there, either, if you're still trying to get me to join your space expeditions.
no subject
[No one tell her about Rin, please.]
Let's just say I empathize. Not much to do up there, either. Don't tell anyone though, I like my pay grade where it is.
[He also likes all the experiments he gets to conduct in zero g, but you'll probably snore through that if he told you about it.]
no subject
Willing people. Sure. [ She's amused and judgy at the same time. ]
no subject
Hey, be honest: you would have broken some of his bones first. Besides, I needed to check if the tractor beam works on unwilling people anyway.
[Two birds with one stone: that's the Marasigan way.]
no subject
So you kidnap a boy mage to test your... spaceship things. I am not sure I approve. [ She does. ]
no subject
[Besides which, he feels in his heart that you approve.]
No but seriously, what have you been doing for fun down here? Aside from pick on Josh, of course.
[You two are better now, right?
no subject
[ Shrug.
But yes, she and Josh are better now. Since January. ]
And getting ready to give the reins back to Joshua. [ Because she doesn't want to be responsible for the Hounds anymore. And if you haven't seen the signs, then go back to space. ]
no subject
[A suspicious look.]
Was part of that your doing?
no subject
I did punch him in the face when he gave me the responsibility two years ago. [ For a totally different reason! ]
no subject
And you're not at all ashamed of it, are you? I swear, violence is your first language, isn't it? What happened?
