[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
[ Smiling. ]
Taning could be an excellent teacher, you know.
no subject
[ Pointedly ignoring that second part about Taning. ]
no subject
[ No, Rin: let's go right back to it. ]
He's a lot more dedicated and serious than he looks. In fact, I've come to believe that most of the silliness is a front.
no subject
He took us in space, too!
[ Why is this his life. ]
...I don't think he likes me. [ Right, yes, let's go there. ] He yelled at me when we were on his ship. [ Although, you know. That was Rin's fault. Mostly. ]
no subject
[ Or you did something... ]
no subject
...I might have pushed his buttons and took it a little too far? [ Literally, and figuratively. ] But he practically kidnapped me! [ He's totally justified here, yo. ]
no subject
[ HMM. ]
no subject
[ ...To be fair(???), if Taning hadn't taken him in (more or less), he'd still be in Ireland, probably couchsurfing or living in the streets and having a million and one part-time jobs that will never be enough to keep him fed and under a roof for more than a few days or weeks. But he did, and Rin had a lovely time living with Asami Fukuzawa and her family for those first few weeks before he moved into the dorms...even though her husband still kind of scares him(?!). ]
...I guess. [ He kicks at the ground again. ]
no subject
Taning's methods are unconventional and difficult to understand at first, but I think he was trying to keep you from getting into more trouble.
no subject
[ They could have avoided all that yelling and suspicious business! ]
no subject
Indeed, he should have. I can talk to him about the matter for you, if you like.
no subject
[ Because it sounds like it. ]
no subject
[ Says the Furst of Netsach. Who happens to be the Voidseeker. And a dragon. ]
no subject
Oh. Okay.
[ And, you know, he's been standing up all this time, he'll just.... sit on the grass. And let Madge jump off and play on the grass. Yeah. ]
no subject
Are you excited for the start of classes?
no subject
A little.[ He means a lot. ] I'd like to learn everything this place can offer me, and then some.
no subject
Might I ask what your definition of "and then some" might be?
no subject
I like to know things. How things work, why things are shinier than others, what things are like... I don't like not knowing.
no subject
[ He used to be the same way, at any rate. ]
no subject
I just hope I'm not too late.
no subject
[ Or the Assassin will, anyway. He seems to be interested in your case by merit of the fact that his adopted son was the one who picked you up in the first place. ]
Would you like, as well, to be in the position to help us, if you're lucky?
no subject
Yeah! Yeah, definitely. I want to help. If you let me, I mean.
no subject
[ And if she is not, he will Puppy Eye at her until she is. ]
no subject
Kind of regretting not signing up for ASC instead... But that works for me.
no subject
[ He's... not going to mention how Balamb wants to monitor people like you a little more closely because of your age and so-called "traumatic occurrences". ]
As things stand, we occasionally have novices participate in engagements that are relevant to them on a personal level.
