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.

But he's not, and it's up to her to figure out how to deal.
The chaos that follows the demonstration, the panic and the milling crowds... that she's better equipped to deal with. This feels almost familiar, and she quickly turns and forces her way into the thick of the crowd - but not to make her way back to her own sector. No, she saw the expressions of more than a few of the kedan when the commander took out the ringleader, and they were not pleased; they'll be looking for trouble.
She spots one kedan drawing a long knife from a sash, her attention intent on a foreigner who has their back turned. Rikki quickens her steps, sliding and ducking around a couple more kedan, and sweeps the woman's legs from under her, stomping on the wrist of the hand holding the blade as soon as she's on the ground. The kedan drops it, and Rikki lunges to pick it up, foot still pinning her wrist, before the kedan can roll and retrieve it with her free hand.
Pointing the blade, she backs off a step or two to let her up, grimacing internally as she realizes there's really no way to watch her own back in a crowd like this. ] Leave. Now.
(OOC: Anyone want to be the foreigner Rikki kept from being knifed? Or just a random onlooker, that's fine too...)
