[Open, Major Event] 12 June 2066

[geistnet]

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 laugh you get is because of the nuzzle. She is now looking up at you with an expression that is Incredibly Pleased. ]

You always know how to make a girl feel special.

He's not looking forward to it as much as you are. Not to say that he isn't looking forward to it at all, but yeah. ]

[ Awww, is the Big Bad Wolf disgruntled at the idea of waking up early on Monday?

Because, you know -- she saw this year's class schedule and she doesn't start on anything until Tuesday. Granted, Counseling kicks in when the school year does.

Patting you on the chest now. ]

[profaci]

[ Pouting at a little, just because he can. ]

Still, the year's only as good as you make it. And I plan on having fun.

[ Now whether that is at the expense of the sanity of some of his students or not is up to question. ]

[kinesthesia]

[ Well, if the kids under you can't hack the insanity, that's just survival of the fittest, isn't it? ]

But you always have fun, don't you?

[ :"3 ]

[profaci]

[ Welp, when you put it that way... ]

You, my fair lady, have a point.

[kinesthesia]

[ Heh. ]

Of course, I do.

[ If she were in fox form, she'd have her tail swishing and her ears perked up smugly. ]

Come on, handsome. [ Arm around your waist now. ] We can leave talk about school for Monday. Let's go eat?

[ She's hungry and there's so much food around here. ]
