Event | April 23 - 30th

Characters: Open to all!
Date: April 23 - 30
Location: Keeliai and all outlying areas
Situation: Tu Vishan experiences a boost in health and thanks each citizen with a calming mood and tropical waters.
Warnings/Rating: None at posting; please note content warnings in subject lines

Everyone wakes on the 23rd with a feeling of peace upon their mind. It's hardly intrusive – reminiscent more of the comfort that comes when one curls up with a favourite blanket fresh out of the dryer. It seems that the actions of the Foreigners -- taken to aid during this time of crisis -- have had an effect and Tu Vishan is offering this in thanks... along with a surge of life and vitality to both the turtle and its citizens.

See the OOC post for details and this post for threading! Headers have been provided in the comments.

Finnick Odair | Open

[The fireworks are beautiful. Breathtaking, even. He's seen them before, of course. He's been to enough Capitol affairs to have seen them. There's something different about these. They're in celebration, of course, but it's a celebration that actually means something, which resonates in him. In the Capitol, it's always about pomp and want and trying to outdo everyone else. In the Capitol, it signals the Hunger Games as though it's something to dazzle people with.

There's none of that here.

It's one of the few times that he thinks of Annie outside of the privacy of his own suite, a serious look on his face as he keeps his face tilted toward the light show. She would have loved to see this, and he wishes she could. He'll enjoy it for her, though. She would have wanted that from him, too.]

[ Inara hasn't seen fireworks like this in some time, and she's out here to enjoy the spectacle, as well. Of course -- as always, she's on the lookout for those that she considers close friends or at least good acquaintances, and she spies Finnick before he sees her.

Sliding up next to him -- but remaining silent, Inara can tell his thoughts are else where -- she is content to watch by his side, comforted and content with his presence next to her. ]

[Finnick notices Inara right away as she appears beside him, and he turns away from the fireworks to give her a grin. Now isn't the right time for heavy thoughts, anyway, and he enjoys the distraction.]

It's nice to see fireworks in celebration of something good for a change. [He finally says after a moment.] It's too bad we can't stay in this particular part of the sea.

[ she smiles back at him, and rests a hand on his arm. honestly, she doesn't know a lot about Finnick's home except for the little comments he lets slide -- like that one. He hasn't brought it up and she hasn't pressed. ]

It is too bad. I have been enjoying myself. Have you?
insecrets: (♆; Sure | I think I made you up)

[personal profile] insecrets 2013-05-01 03:14 am (UTC)(link)
[He pauses for a moment before moving his arm so that it's wrapped around her shoulders instead, pulling her closer. He will, eventually, be more forthcoming, but his real self has been private for so long...]

I've enjoyed it. The easy life suits me a lot more. [Siiigh.] I have been kind of thinking about petition Tu Vishan to see if we could stay here for as long as we can manage, actually.

[ Inara instinctively leans in against him, head resting on his shoulder. ]

You and me both. If you were to do such a thing, I would back you completely.

[ she likes this kind of ease, this...pleasant warmth that she's been allowed to feel. ]
insecrets: (♆; Smile | I think I made you up)

[personal profile] insecrets 2013-05-01 05:20 am (UTC)(link)
[Finnick glances down at her, smiling as she leans in.]

Your confidence in me is really making me consider this, but I have a feeling the great turtle is not going to want to stay still for so long.

[He has never felt ease, he realizes. Not like here. Even the insanity of the turtle when they are swimming around has been much better than most everything back home.]

[personal profile] suoxi 2013-05-02 02:40 am (UTC)(link)
Mmm. Possibly...though one would think after swimming for so long he would like a longer rest.

[ If only.

She sighs, and lets her eyes close briefly. Inara, like Finnick, doesn't want this to end. It's been so peaceful, so serene. Warm and inviting, even. She hated to see it go. ]

Maybe he's the type that doesn't like to sit around for too long. He might be getting restless.

[That's something he can understand, he thinks. Not that he's ever been that restless before, but Finnick finds that freedom to move around is much better than staying in one place now.]

[personal profile] suoxi 2013-05-07 12:10 am (UTC)(link)
...Well. That I can understand.

[ She gets it, Finnick.She does. ]

I guess we should enjoy this while we can. Care to sit down and continue watching?

[personal profile] insecrets 2013-05-07 06:51 am (UTC)(link)
[He grins at her.] Absolutely. [Finnick takes a seat, patting the area next to him for her to take a seat as well. When she does, he'll put his arm around her again.]

[personal profile] suoxi 2013-05-13 01:24 am (UTC)(link)
[ take a seat she does, and she's quick to rest right back against him, head on his shoulder. She doesn't say anything right away -- instead, she's going to just sit here and enjoy the show, and the company. It has been some time since she has allowed herself to simply be, and Finnick's presence is a warm, solid reminder that she doesn't always have to be so alone. She does have friends here.

Eventually, she shifts a little to lean them back, clothing be damned. It's easier to watch laying down, don't you think Finnick? ]

[personal profile] insecrets 2013-05-14 06:14 am (UTC)(link)
[Finnick is no stranger to human contact, but there's something comforting in having Inara leaning against him. She's quiet, soft, especially in comparison to Johanna and Katniss. It's nice to share this moment with her, nice to have a friend who isn't just as likely to threaten to hit him.

He definitely thinks it's easier to watch lying back like this, his arm still around her.]
You can almost forget everything that has been happening here.

[ ...Inara misses physical contact, honestly. While a Companion herself and setting up the Companion house, she has not truly had a real client in some time. She misses this sort of intimacy, and before she can think about any consequences, she finds herself pressed tightly to his side, head on his shoulder. ]

You can. It's almost a kind of meditation...a way to disconnect and simply be.
insecrets: (♆; 018 | where thoughts serenely)

[personal profile] insecrets 2013-05-18 02:29 am (UTC)(link)
It is. [Finnick definitely doesn't mind the way she presses against his side, but he's suddenly distracted from the sight of the fireworks, turning his head to glance her instead.

He's still looking at her when he speaks again.]
Inara, how would you feel about coming to my place tonight?
suoxi: (pic#5490460)

[personal profile] suoxi 2013-05-18 03:14 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Inara blinks, but doesn't really miss a beat when he asks that. Any other person asking that question -- and she knows the real qustion underneath it -- would be politely rejected. ]

I would like that.
insecrets: (♆; 009 | that tender light)

[personal profile] insecrets 2013-05-20 10:08 pm (UTC)(link)
I would, too. [It's been a long time, and he trusts her. A fitting end for such a good vacation.]
