Welcome Festival | Day 06 | All Sectors | OPEN
Characters: You! And you! Even you!
Location: All Sectors
Situation: It's the sixth and final day of the Welcome Festival!
Warnings/Rating: To be updated if actual warnable material occurs.
OOC Details:
>Header threads are available for the major events of the day and anyone can tag into them, replying with others as they are interested.
>Our thanks go to everyone that volunteered their character for the special event today! Favrielle and Yue are the lucky two foreigners that will be "voluntold" for a grand demonstration in front of half the city.
FINAL DAY:
Five days of festivities have come and gone, but the sixth dawns as one final celebration across all of the sectors, with the tours of each day reinstated and the markets re-opened for all! The lanterns made during each previous festival day now decorate their respective sectors and are being lit throughout the day -- though each sector has a podium with the most beautiful of the foreigner-made lanterns on display, ready to be lit at sunset.
With five sectors and twelve active gangs spread across Keeliai, the Alderwood Commander has mobilised the entire police force to patrol all areas and enforce the laws where they have been broken. An eye has been applied to the exact deployment of officers, with the greatest congestion in the Fire, Metal, and Earth Sectors according to gang presence and criminal activity over the course of the festival. Given that the entire force is beating the shell, there are equal amounts of upstanding and corrupt officers spread about and a few juulan go the extra distance in dissuading the latter when one has crossed the line.
Evandau is again a constant presence today and he moves with such frequency through the sectors that he often seems to be in two places at once. Most of the honest kedan take his presence as a reassurance, but there is the portion that eye him nervously and avoid eye contact. There are rumours of a half dozen arrests overseen by him personally since dawn, but he has proven too busy to confirm that via idle chatter with civilians.
Despite the increased police presence, criminal activity continues to fluctuate. Many of the less savoury kedan can be seen employing their skills for their own betterment, so mind your purse and person anytime that you go into a crowd or off the main thoroughfares.
Once again, should two or more characters get into an large-scale altercation, be it with NPCs or one another, please advise Alex (![[plurk.com profile]](https://plurk.com/favicon.ico)
reignsdown or gmail or aim) for intervention/dispersal.
PARADE:
Roadways have been cordoned off throughout all of the sectors for the sake of one parade to trace a spiral route out from the center of Keeliai to the outer walls. Preparations for this parade have been the most secretive of all events during the Welcome Festival, but it's clear by the costumes donned by dancers and acrobats meant to participate in it that no expense has been spared.
Scheduled to begin two hours after dawn, it has drawn many kedan to the sidelines to watch. They, in turn, have been encouraging foreigners to the very front and center, where many have gathered to see and follow the path of performers as they trek through the city.
Widely agreed upon as a beautiful way to mark the final day's festivities, there are few in Keeliai that realise the parade's start is about to be usurped by a demonstration far more powerful that the grand luxuries displayed over the previous five days.
Interrupted before it can begin, all ceremony is gone when the crowds are swarmed by members of the most powerful gang in the Fire Sector and two foreigners are taken hostage, dragged onto the stage bridging the street -- a planned platform for Lieuen to make a final festival speech from -- as the leader of the gang steps up to spread an entirely different, anti-foreigner sentiment while making a demonstration that no one will forget.

[At some point a kedan starts chasing them, but they soon give up as crowds press in around them. Rin pulls Merle into an alley, checking first to make sure it's not a dead end. The alley spills out onto a side street, but there are enough kedan there that Rin doesn't want to linger. At one point a kedan appears out of nowhere, screams at their sudden appearance and brandishes a stick at them. Rin deflects it with his sword, which is enough to make the kedan give up and take off running.]
[Rin does the same, leading Merle down the street, into another alley and out into a wider road. Here he slows. The rioting hasn't reached this area yet and it's mostly devoid of life, as pretty much the entire city was at the celebration.]
[He pauses to catch his breath and check how his charge is doing. His tail has slipped free of his shirt during the run, but he doesn't really care. Hopefully the catgirl won't mind.]
I think we'll be okay now, but we should probably head back to the suites as soon as we can.
no subject
She notes the pursuant behind them, hissing low in her throat and flashing fangs as her ears flatten, but the kedan gives up quickly enough. When Rin cuts suddenly around the corner, Merle clings tight to his hand, grabbing a hold of his arm to steady herself.
She huffs, half bent over in an attempt to catch her breath in the alley way, but they don’t wait long before Rin tugs her hand and they begin moving again. She moves instinctively behind the older boy whenever they encounter someone, giving him room to wield his sword if he should need to. It’s something she’d learned well from Van over the years; particularly when the war with the Zaibach Empire had kicked off in full.
When they finally reach a quiet area that seems untouched by the chaos, Rin stops running and catches his breath, so Merle does the same. She leans against the wall closest to her, catching sight of Rin’s tail out of the corner of her eye. Her ears flick forward as she pants, curiosity unmistakable in her gaze, but she looks up when he speaks.]
Mmm… are they close? Because… I don’t know… how much more… of that… I can do.
no subject
[Since she seems a little defenseless, aside from those claws.]
Well, we're still in the Fire Sector... [He looks around, realizing that he has no idea where he is aside from the sector. Shit. Better not let on that he's lost. Anyway, maybe he can climb to a roof in a bit and find out where they are.] Where do you live? Things are quieter out here, but I should probably walk you home just in case. Once we've caught our breath, anyway.
no subject
It’s okay, really… I mean, I probably could have taken one or two of them, but you saved me pretty gallantly, so I’m not going to complain.
[She watches him as he looks around and when he asks her about where she lives, it’s her turn to try to look nonchalant.] Oh, me? Well, if you just point me in the direction of the Earth Sector? Yeah, I’m pretty sure that’s what it was called… I can find my own way. [Have a winning smile.]
no subject
Earth Sector, huh? Um... [Yeah still has no idea where he is.] I'm pretty sure it's south...or was it east? Or...hold on, I'm gonna get a better vantage point.
[He looks around until he finds a decent building with a good number of handholds, then starts climbing.]
no subject
Ummm... you're not lost are you?
[She arches a brow slightly in question, but then brightens as she watches him start to climb.]
You sure you don't want me to do that?
no subject
[It's partially true at least. He knows what sector he's in, so that's a start.]
[He's already up on the second floor of some building by then and he looks down at her with a contemplative look.] You're probably pretty good at climbing, huh? [What with being a cat girl and all.] Yeah, you think you could come up too? Two people looking around are better than one, or something like that.
no subject
Not that she has anyplace to talk, but that didn't matter right now!!
At his question, he smiles returns warmly and she nods.]
Mmmm! [She's quick to prove herself, taking hold of the side of the building after shedding her sandals to the ground below. She scurries up the side of the building, finding hand and footholds at an impressive rate and is soon next to him. She flashes a ranged grin.]
Race you to the top!
[That's the only warning he's going to get before she's moving again, paying no mind to the fact that she's climbing in a dress.]
no subject
[She probably beats him by a solid thirty seconds, but eventually he's on the roof and surveying the streets below to try and figure out where they are.]
Man, you're a pretty fast climber!
no subject
You alright? Didn't fall off, did you?
[She peers over the edge, grinning widely at him. When he makes it up and perches next to her, she smiles, giving a half shrug.]
I've always climbed a lot.
[She folds her legs, ears perking forward.]
You didn't do so bad yourself, though.
no subject
[He turns a slow circle, scanning the streets below and the buildings in the distance. He thinks he can make out his own suite based on the smallish fire fountain next to it.]
Okay, so, you said Earth Sector right? That's, uh...that way, at least from the map I got. [He points, and it's even in the right direction.] And I think I see my own suite too.
no subject
She stands, balanced easily, and peers off in the direction for any hint of anything familiar.]
That's it... [Look how certain she sounds. Hurr durr. She looks back to where he was looking.]
Yours is over there?
no subject
no subject
Soooo... are you going to hang out on roofs until then?
[She arches a brow because he'd barely made it up onto this one.]
no subject
no subject
Well... I mean, I know it’s over there, right? [She gestures toward the Earth Sector, not wanting him to know about her issue or make a big deal over it.]
