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!]

...

B-because they're cute and fun and fluffy and I like looking at pictures of cute, fun, fluffy things. It's nice.

[ Loki looks at him blankly. ]

That sounds rather . . . dull.

[this_loser]

[He shrugs.]

It's not for everyone. After all the crap that's happened, I think it's okay to be a little "dull". [Quotation marks heavily implied.]

[dothelokimotion]

[ He's vaguely curious. ]

What happened?

[this_loser]

[He shoots Loki a skeptical look. Then shrugs and waves a dismissive hand.]

Eh. The usual. War, murder, betrayal, assholes in dumb hats, bad luck with trains...

[No big.]

[dothelokimotion]

[ How . . . is that the usual. ]

I'm not sure how hats and trains correlate.

[this_loser]

Dude with the hat got me pushed off the train.

[dothelokimotion]

Did you offend his fashion sense?

[this_loser]

His fashion sense was offensive all on its own. Nah. I think it was his mission in life to make everyone's lives as miserable as possible.

[dothelokimotion]

For what purpose?

[this_loser]

To be a dick. I don't know! [Prompto hasn't reached the big reveal portion of their adventure yet.] He's the Chancellor of Niflheim. The enemy. They invaded and destroyed our home. But Noct is king now. We can still take it back. That's reason enough, isn't it?

[dothelokimotion]

[ Loki frowns. ]

Not by much. Politics does serve, I suppose. Knowing the reasons are important. Otherwise history repeats itself.

[this_loser]

Never been very good with politics. Didn't think I'd ever be in a position where it mattered. [He was just a nobody commoner who got lucky.]

[dothelokimotion]

It seems you are in one now. It never hurts to accumulate knowledge.

[this_loser]

I guess not. Staying alive seemed more important at the time.

[dothelokimotion]

And then?

[ Staying alive is usually what people aim for, but it falls short in the Fleet. Where being alive is not a chore. ]

[this_loser]

Well, we're here. I dunno what good it'll do. Still working on the staying alive part back home.

[dothelokimotion]

Something can always come out of time well spent.

[this_loser]

...You're starting to sound like Iggy. [Muttered, because Iggy was gone before Loki arrived. He wouldn't know who that is.]

Maybe I can get Luna to lay some political info on me.

[dothelokimotion]

[ Loki shrugs. ]

Whoever you receive it from.
