[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.

Still not sure of your Tolerance Level for People yet, huh?

[ Just... calling it as he sees it, ayep. ]
bostova: (38 ☭)

[personal profile] bostova 2014-08-23 07:35 pm (UTC)(link)
You could call it that, I suppose.

[ But hey, at least she can talk to you, right? That's something, at least. ]

Will you be going tonight?
shuryoinai: (and we keep running in circles.)

[personal profile] shuryoinai 2014-08-23 07:51 pm (UTC)(link)
I might after Quiz Night. No duty for me this time around.

[ And none for Hikaru and Rethe either. This was one of the rare occasions where all three Reapers of the Fifth World were allowed to take a goddamned break.

Thanks for that, Elaine. You're awesome. ]
bostova: (37 ☭)

[personal profile] bostova 2014-08-23 08:09 pm (UTC)(link)
You're not joining that are you?

[ Except it would be hilarious to watch, if you did, even if there's no way in hell that Liquidated would allow you to. ]
shuryoinai: (i find this amusing enough.)

[personal profile] shuryoinai 2014-08-24 04:07 am (UTC)(link)
[ Snorts. ]

Of course not. I just like watching the fireworks.

[ And checking the people out. Old habits die hard. ]
bostova: (84 ☭)

[personal profile] bostova 2014-08-24 04:35 am (UTC)(link)
Too bad, I would have watched.

[ Not really; quiz night at Liquidated means people she'd rather not deal with. ]
shuryoinai: (you're on your own (kid).)

[personal profile] shuryoinai 2014-08-24 12:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Somehow, I doubt that.

[ Give him a little credit here. He knows your habits pretty well. ]
bostova: (50 ☭)

[personal profile] bostova 2014-08-24 01:49 pm (UTC)(link)
You're right. I wouldn't. Too bad.

[ Finishing her drink, now. Of course, when it's empty, she holds the glass towards you-- refill.

Let's forget she's the Whisperer right now, yes? ]
shuryoinai: (that must have hurt.)

[personal profile] shuryoinai 2014-08-24 01:53 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Nope.jpg, let's not. ]

Say "please".
bostova: (27 ☭)

[personal profile] bostova 2014-08-24 01:58 pm (UTC)(link)
...

Please. [ :| ]
shuryoinai: (i find this amusing enough.)

[personal profile] shuryoinai 2014-08-24 03:15 pm (UTC)(link)
[ That's better. Smiling like the cheeky asshole he can totally be about 90% of the time, and pouring you a glass.

Here you go. ]


You're welcome.
bostova: (11 ☭ they die by threes)

[personal profile] bostova 2014-08-25 04:06 am (UTC)(link)
[ Whatever, jerk. She takes a drink, then sets her glass down and leans back on her hands. ]

So, why are you here?
shuryoinai: (i love you // so i'll let you go.)

[personal profile] shuryoinai 2014-08-25 05:17 am (UTC)(link)
Because I wanted to get you an Independence Day drink, and I figured that you'd be where the least number of people were. And here you are.
bostova: (23 ☭)

[personal profile] bostova 2014-08-25 05:37 am (UTC)(link)
[ And you made her say please?

Bitch. Please. ]
shuryoinai: (you're on your own (kid).)

[personal profile] shuryoinai 2014-08-25 11:49 am (UTC)(link)
[ #Amused

He finishes his glass, though, and tosses it in the air in order to make it disappear. Then he stands up. ]


Keep the bottle.

[ He'll head off now that the damage has been done. =w= ]
bostova: (44 ☭)

[personal profile] bostova 2014-08-25 12:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Don't leave before I get to say thank you, idiot.

[ >:( ]
shuryoinai: (for we are their shadow.)

[personal profile] shuryoinai 2014-08-25 02:53 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Oh, well.

Turning back, with a small smile. He's waiting, Yulia... ]
bostova: (70 ☭)

[personal profile] bostova 2014-08-25 03:25 pm (UTC)(link)
I've changed my mind. [ She'll just turn her back on you and just... drink. ] Go away.
shuryoinai: (i find this amusing enough.)

[personal profile] shuryoinai 2014-08-25 03:27 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Chuckling at that, shaking his head, and turning away for real. ]

See you around, Yulia.
