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!]

Not when it comes to unleashing adorable baby animals, no. On that, I have to admit I'm beat.

[dothelokimotion]

Your talents do seem to dwindle.

[onlyanapple]

I can live with it. The bar's pretty low, currently. I'm not going to lose sleep over missing it.

[dothelokimotion]

Considering you are a low-level demon, it doesn't surprise me all you can manage is living.

[onlyanapple]

I know you think that's some kind of sick burn, but it really isn't. I like being a low-level demon. I don't have to deal with the bullshit the higher-level demons do, and I largely get left the fuck alone.

[Until the botched Apocalypse anyway. They'll probably not leave him alone after that. ]

[dothelokimotion]

And yet, self-awareness does not seem to be your strong point.

[onlyanapple]

[He examines his fingernails with a soft scoff.]

Or maybe it's fine, and I just don't give a flying fuck about what you think.

[And yet, he keeps actively seeking Loki out.]

[dothelokimotion]

[ Loki gives him a pointed look at Crowley. ]

And yet, here you are.

[onlyanapple]

Yes, Loki. To mock you, there's a difference.

[IS there, though?]

[dothelokimotion]

Not enough of one. And your technique needs work.

[onlyanapple]

Oh, please do, give me pointers. I'd love to hear what you have to say.

[dothelokimotion]

[ Dryly. ]

Except you possess no listening skills whatsoever. Are you truly that desperate? You must have been in this Fleet for so long that picturing a life outside of it must be frightening.

Truly an Atroma stooge pigeon.

[onlyanapple]

I've been here since this cycle started, and in Paradisa before that. So that's just under ten years away from home. Which, incidentally, has Hell looking for me. So no, I'm not all that eager to go back.

...Also a stooge pigeon isn't even a thing.

[dothelokimotion]

And yet you fit the profile. Whether you are in legion or not, you are no different. A weak-hearted creature to the end.

[onlyanapple]

Wow, weak-hearted creature. Digging deep with the insults there, aren't you? Loki, darling, I've been called much worse.

[dothelokimotion]

[ It's the endearment that makes him bristle. ]

By yourself, no doubt.

[onlyanapple]

[He catches that, and mentally notes it for the future. ]

Generally, I'm not self-flagellating enough to insult myself.

[dothelokimotion]

Are you sure?

[ Because it seems likely. Certainly Loki has done it to himself many times. ]

[onlyanapple]

Pretty certain about that, yeah.

[Crowley is pretty damn good at self preservation, even against himself.]

[dothelokimotion]

[ Hrff. Time to realign his assumptions. ]

That doesn't explain why you are here, demon.

[onlyanapple]

[He gives a shrug.]

Shits and giggles, mostly.

[dothelokimotion]

I'm not for anyone's entertainment.

[onlyanapple]

And yet, here you are~

[dothelokimotion]

Only because I'm considering turning you into a newt.

[onlyanapple]

Oh darling, if you say so. I'll pretend to believe you.
