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!]

It's all you can do. He seems like a smart one, so you should be all right. What made you get one?

[PUPPY KISSES ARE THE BEST!!! Although from next to Riona, Kiter's looking a mite jealous right now...]

Indeed.

[veilstrike]

I thought it might be nice to have someone to share my room with.

[ Since... Well. Dorian's gone and isn't likely to come back, no matter what. ]

And he was too precious to resist.

[bryces_pup]

Weren't you sharing one with Dorian for awhile there? Did that change?

[Somehow she can't see Dorian getting on well with a dog, but who knows.]

Well of course. All puppies are. Look at him~ [More pets for him. Because she can't resist him either.]

[veilstrike]

[ She hums absently, as if it's not really bothering her. ]

Dorian left the fleet and when he came back he was shuffled onto another ship. We don't share a room anymore.

[bryces_pup]

And he never transferred back? Traitor.

[Said jokingly, of course.]

[veilstrike]

I know. I'm not sure if I can forgive him.

[bryces_pup]

It would take a heart of gold to do so.

[veilstrike]

I think mine is surely silver at best.

[bryces_pup]

Oh, I don't know about that. Seems pretty golden to me.

[veilstrike]

Flatterer. [ She grins. ] You're a married woman, Riona.

[bryces_pup]

Oh, I am, I am. Luckily the ring on my finger doesn't forbid me from tossing out deserved compliments.

[veilstrike]

Then I’m touched. [ She smiles, despite her uncertainty. ] I’ll make sure to return the favour.

[bryces_pup]

You're striving to make me blush, aren't you?

[veilstrike]

Is it working?

[bryces_pup]

Perhaps a little. But it takes a fair bit more than that to really get my cheeks to that delightful beet red color.

[veilstrike]

Then I'm just going to have to try harder, aren't I?
