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!]

[ Loki huffs. ]

Even the Grandmaster's ships were better designed.

[rebuildyourruins]

You've said that before.

[dothelokimotion]

Because it's true and I could gut the designer for the ships for that alone.

[rebuildyourruins]

I do recall you muttering something in your sleep about that while you were ill.

[It was quite something to hear Loki hissing his offense at the utilitarian ceiling when he was addled with fever and not aware of what he was saying.]

[dothelokimotion]

[ His expression stutters briefly. ]

Did I say anything else?

[ It hadn't occurred to him what a great liability that would be. ]

[rebuildyourruins]

Not that I can recall. [He runs a hand through his hair, musing.] You were usually out cold.

[Proof positive that Loki had been sicker than he wanted to admit.]

[dothelokimotion]

[ Loki relaxes minutely at that. ]

That sickness took a lot out of us.

[rebuildyourruins]

I barely remember the first few days.

[dothelokimotion]

[ Loki huffs. ]

That is because you weren't conscious at all. I had to drag you to the bed.

[rebuildyourruins]

I know. You've reminded me several times.

[dothelokimotion]

[ Loki smiles sweetly. ]

To remind you of the heavy burden I had to carry.

[rebuildyourruins]

[Thor rolls his eye, pushing away from the balcony railing.]

For what, fifteen paces? You harp on it too much.

[dothelokimotion]

You are very heavy! Unbearably so!

[rebuildyourruins]

Because I'm all muscle, yes. [Are you NEW? Thor claps Loki on the shoulder.] And you have my thanks of course.

[dothelokimotion]

[ He grumbles. ]

Leave space for other things as well or one would assume you're overcompensating.

[rebuildyourruins]

[Airily, as he walks past:]

I have no idea what you mean.
