[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
It is. [ Thoughtfully watching the smoke from his cigarette now. ] She starts school on Monday though. So that's a step towards something, at least.
no subject
[ There's clear approval in his voice too. Balamb has been consistent, thus far, in putting out the best of the best, and being a safe haven for many special cases. ]
Yeah, that's probably going to help her a lot.
no subject
Didn't think I'd have to worry about first day jitters for the next couple of years.
[ Because, baby siblings.
He runs his hand a little nervously through his hair at that. ] Lyall's a sweet kid. And Hikaru cares about her a lot so... [ A shrug as he idly pats the top of Leo's head. ]
no subject
The three of you would make a cute family, you know.
[ No, he doesn't have to meet Lyall in order to say that. ]
no subject
Wait did you just-- ]
I-- [ ARISATO-SAN WHY ] --I dunno about that.
no subject
You mean you don't think that you do?
no subject
Yes, but he doesn't want to jump the gun. He's never denied the truth of things that he'd like a family of his own, it's just... it's one of those things that you shelves and put aside when your significant other might not be ready for that sort of thing emotionally.
Thoughtful now, because you've made him pause to think on it. ]
I guess... [ wetting his lips before he worries at his bottom lip. ] I guess I just don't want to think along those lines just yet.
[ There's a quiet look in his eyes when he lifts them to yours. ]
The whole situation's [ a breath now ] complicated.
no subject
After a bit of a pause: ]
Is it because of Lyall-chan's condition, or is it something else?
[ Or is it both? He's distinctly remembering that Rhiannon Board Meeing in Tokyo. The one where you came in late and Hikaru looked like he wanted to curl up and die quietly somewhere. ]
no subject
To your question though: ]
A large part of it is Lyall. [ A breath. ] She and Hikaru have these awkward moments and I'm reluctant to intervene in any way because... well. She's not... my kid.
[ Helping things with Hotaru had been different back in the day. Lines were generally less blurry because family is family and what little he'd offered to help Hikaru's youngest sister to relax around his boy had resulted in a much better thing for both ( he likes to think it did, he'll never say it out loud though. ) ]
She's drawn a line between them: a king and soldier kind of set-up.
[ It's heartbreaking, what it is. Especially since he's pretty sure that he's not the only one to have seen the way Hikaru moves around her. ]
no subject
[ Okay yeah, he's only getting the barest of details and it already sounds like it could kind of really suck. ]
That must be really, really hard on Hikaru-san. Yet both of your hands are tied.
[ These things could only take time, or they just never improved. ]
no subject
I worry about him.
[ A little soft, that. ] Them, actually.
Like I said... she's a sweet kid. Just... [ a sigh ] damaged.
no subject
It'll be okay.
[ He's sure of it. ]
no subject
Thanks, Minato.
[ Sparing a glance now towards Lancelot. ] You too, Lancelot.
[ Chuckling softly at that. ]
Better get back to my rounds. I promised myself I'd go catch Rethe's set at Haven.
no subject
[ And of course Lancelot is bowing. ]
We'll see you around, then?
no subject
[ Have a two fingered salute before he pats Leo's head to signal the Persona to step back and vanish where no one but Josh will feel him. ]
Take care, man. See you at the next conference call or whenever I do.
