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!]

Well, let me help you with your bar search.

[She flicks a hand out in dismissal.

...and Manji can find himself back in the sleaziest parts of town. To be fair, he's probably near a bar, but she wasn't really aiming. Do go away.]

[canofmanji]

[Manji was already trying to leave on his own so he misses the hand motion Katie does. The fact that he is again suddenly launched in a different direction than he was going is impossible to miss.]

THAT BITCH! [Hopefully her sisters can't do that too!]

[shroudedsecrets]

[That settles it; Katie is actually the Evil Twin here.

Although, the subtle, quick way her magic operates is almost enviable.

Once the man is fully gone, Haggar's subtle mirth emerges with a brief glint in "her" eyes and a quick laugh.]

A far kinder fate than what he deserves. Was your experience with him not always like that?

[hollystrike]

Manji? Oh, he and I go very far back. I'm sure we'd get on better if he only bathed once in a while.

[Grin. To her senses, Manji is kind of... dropping worms all over the place.]

Have you had many people think you were me?

[shroudedsecrets]

I met him once, at the park. He was bothering the foxes there because he was upset he could not eat them.

[Her own senses can tell there's something different about him than most other humans that could potentially be of interest, but not much more.]

But yes, you do know quite a lot of people. A few were confused at first, but that was to be expected.

[hollystrike]

He was going to eat the foxes?

[Wow fuck you Manji you have no redeeming features at all, god.]

That man has no taste.

[shroudedsecrets]

He is not the brightest creature. He would rather stand around and complain about a problem rather than do anything about it.

[hollystrike]

Ah, that does seem to be a common problem. I mean, I love to whine. I can just whine and fix the problem at the same time. [Multi-tasking, see?]

[shroudedsecrets]

Your methods seem very efficient.

[It's always so fascinating to observe Katie's abilities when the opportunity arises.]

It makes me curious to what other terrible things you are capable of.

[hollystrike]

[Interesting question, Lucy.]

I'm sure I'm capable of many terrible things. Everyone is, when you get down to it. You just have to push them the right way.

[shroudedsecrets]

Pushing limits can only inspire a path toward enlightenment. The greater the opposition, then so must be what meets it.

[hollystrike]

Are you a big fan of enlightenment, then, sister mine?

[Well put.]

[shroudedsecrets]

It is a path I have striven for my entire life. [A considering pause, as she tilts her head.] Although, as your sister, what would be a fitting... analogy? I do not know what they would do on Earth.

[hollystrike]

[Hmm.]

Curiosity killed the cat, satisfaction brought it back. [That's not really an analogy, Katie.] Though I suppose you could always cackle maniacally and say For Science! instead.

[shroudedsecrets]

I have had those moments.

[No shame in admitting that, with a flash of a grin.]

There is still a lot about Earthen culture that seems... superfluous, from what I have been reading. You may have to teach me more of what is expected.

[For the Sister Act(tm).]

[hollystrike]

My teachings would be naturally one hundred per cent accurate and vitally necessary to learn, of course.

[Solemnly.]

[shroudedsecrets]

I would expect nothing less.

[Oh, she fully knows with what grains to take this with. But she'd have to do more than parroting to be believable. And frankly, why not?]
