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] 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.

I'm not lost! I mean, not really. I just got a little turned around is all...

[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.

[She eyes him skeptically, lips pursed as she arches one brow. Clearly he was lost, however he wanted to phrase it.

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.]
dadissues: (you're not cool rin stop trying)

[personal profile] dadissues 2012-08-15 01:16 am (UTC)(link)
Ha, uh, okay. [A race it is, then! He climbs as fast as he can, but he's not nearly as fast as she is. Not that he expected to be; he's raced Kuro before with similar results.]

[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!
vaaaansamaaaa: (Teehee~Trollin')

[personal profile] vaaaansamaaaa 2012-08-15 01:39 am (UTC)(link)
[And she scurries lithely up just like any sure-footed cat would manage, perching on the rooftop as she beats him rather impressively (in her book).]

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.
dadissues: (i can see my house it's on fire)

[personal profile] dadissues 2012-08-15 01:47 am (UTC)(link)
Heh well, my friend Kuro is a really good climber and I've been racing him for months now. Anyway...let's see where we are.

[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.

[personal profile] vaaaansamaaaa 2012-08-15 02:04 am (UTC)(link)
[She watches him as he gets his bearings, following his gaze with her own. She nods when he asks for clarification, looking off in the direction he's pointing.

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?
dadissues: (teach me sensei)

[personal profile] dadissues 2012-08-17 02:03 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah... [He points toward where he's pretty sure his suite is.] Back kinda toward the riot, I guess...I'll probably wait awhile til I go home.
vaaaansamaaaa: (Default)

[personal profile] vaaaansamaaaa 2012-08-19 12:03 am (UTC)(link)
[She follows his point, ears flicking forward in interest as she sights on where she *thinks* he's pointing. It would be a good thing to know for the future, in case she needed to find him.]

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.]
dadissues: (teach me sensei)

[personal profile] dadissues 2012-08-19 12:55 am (UTC)(link)
Well...I could help you find your way to the Earth Sector, at least? If you want.
vaaaansamaaaa: (Default)

[personal profile] vaaaansamaaaa 2012-09-04 04:49 pm (UTC)(link)
[Her ears flick and she fidgets a little.]
 
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.]
dadissues: (oh so that's how magnets work)

[personal profile] dadissues 2012-09-04 10:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, yeah. I guess if you can find your own way...
