festival day!

[thespaceopera]

Who: EVERYONE
Broadcast: Up to you
Action: Everywhere in the Yadrolla system!
When: 5/30

[At last, the day has come: Festival Day! Once again, the Starstrikers have taken the trophy this year. But that doesn't mean members of other teams, or those who didn't play, can't celebrate with the rest of them!

There are parties everywhere. Ribbons, streamers, and confetti litter every major street in the system. (Remember what they say about glitter...) There is food on every block, and people cramming into shops to get in on the merch.

Don't forget about the reason for the festival-- the pet adoption drive! A large playground-type area has been set up on the Starstrikers' desert moon where people can play and interact with the lovable creatures needing new homes. Whether you're looking for companionship or just something to do, there's plenty to coo over! Every pet comes with an info card listing a fanciful name and a general description of their age and temperament. Maybe Sir Pringle the puppy or Marquess Mariana the fish can become your new best friend.

Sadly, the Fleet will be drifting in about a week... but feel free to party until then!]

[At least his reputation will continue here long after the Fleet pulls away. Thor waves as the crowd drifts apart, before turning to Sokka.]

Nice touch.

[alwayscomeback]

[He gives a flourishing bow. ]

I try, I try. The crowd were eating that one, one. I just wish I could have tossed a bear pun in there, it would have made it perfect.

[rebuildyourruins]

Oh, I think it's impressive enough without puns.

[Thor does enough embellishing on his own. Now that the crowd has dissipated, Thor turns to the food truck they stand next to.]

Do you want anything from here? I'm going to get something.

[alwayscomeback]

You know me, Thor. I'll never turn down food. In fact, if I do, you're free to assume I've been brainwashed and act accordingly.

[Which probably involves punching. Or at least telling Riona. ]

Let's eat!

[rebuildyourruins]

Great!

[The truck, conveniently enough, sells some kind of meat skewers. Thor immediately orders six of them.]

It's been a good celebration, hasn't it?

[alwayscomeback]

[Hell yes, ALL THE MEAT. ]

You know, even if it's not for the people I support, it has been! A plus party, would party again.

[rebuildyourruins]

Well, it is my team and I have found it very enjoyable. They gave out a lot of gifts.

[alwayscomeback]

Yeah yeah, you and Looma both. [You WEIRDOS. ] But they did. I guess I and give them generosity points.

[rebuildyourruins]

Do you want some of them? I have plenty.

[He is fully willing to share.]

[alwayscomeback]

[Thor you are too good and Sokka really does love THINGS. ]

You know I can't say no to free stuff. What've you got?

[rebuildyourruins]

Ah, let's see... there was the hat, but I rather like it so I'm keeping it. Same with the shoes. They gave me a lot of those small things people stick on their ice boxes. [Fridge magnets. He means fridge magnets.] And I think tickets to an amusement park?

[alwayscomeback]

Oh man, I'll take the tickets!!

[Excitedly. ]

I can grab a ton of people and we can have a blowout day before we get stuck in the ship again. You can come too, of course.

[With the tickets that are technically yours anyway.]

[rebuildyourruins]

[Wow thanks for the invite.]

Sure, why not. As long as we don't go on those contraptions with the seats that lock you in place.

[alwayscomeback]

[He's so kind and generous like that. ]

...Wait, do you mean the rollercoasters?

[rebuildyourruins]

Yes, those things. They had those on Nariba Relia too.

[alwayscomeback]

And you're not a fan of them? Is it because they're too fast or?

[rebuildyourruins]

Oh, I don't care about the ride part. I just don't like chairs that imprison people.

[After being locked into one of those on Sakaar, he's not a fan. Even if he could easily bust out of the standard rollercoasters here.]

[alwayscomeback]

I think it's more of a safety thing, so people don't fall out, you know?

[Because not everyone can survive dropping from a roller-coaster, Thor. ]

[rebuildyourruins]

I don't see why anyone would find it fun.

[He maybe has a vendetta that can't be argued with.]

[alwayscomeback]

[This is a weird hill to die on, Thor. It's REALLY WEIRD. ]

I think it's an adrenaline thing? Like it's almost danger, but they're also safe.
