PARTY PARTY PARTY

[decommission]

CHARACTERS: Everyone!
WHERE: The streets of Concordia
WHEN: Dusk til just before dawn on DAY 040
SUMMARY: IT'S A PARADE
WARNINGS: Add them to your top levels as necessary etc etc


As from the calendar:

Confetti! It's a parade! The annual Arista Parade, to be precise. Nominally a part of Aristana, the celebration of the ribbons of life, it's a holiday who's origins are nearly forgotten. Nowadays it's a big, raucous celebration pretty dedicated much entirely to drinking and partying. Almost all those in attendance will be wearing ribbons tied around their hair, their wrists, off of their belts and the edges of their sleeves. Pull one off, and you will be rewarded with a kiss - on the cheek, usually. The parade itself showcases a number of performers, costumes, and moving art pieces. It's route covers a number of the main streets of town (which will be closed, sorry traffic), and it lasts from dusk till nearly dawn on DAY :040. Have fun, if it's your kind of scene.

From the mods:

No notable NPCs are present at the parade - at least not in any official capacity. However if anyone wants to interact with a Concordian native, feel free to make up/interact with any randos you feel like!

Feel free to use this log for all of your parade day activities!

I don't know. But if even stuff that looks like doing the right thing can end up wrong -

[ The mental image of Skaarn comes up to the surface of his thoughts, of saving what he thought was a stranded ship full of decent people and realizing he'd actually bailed out an infamous slaver. ]

- if you can actually see wrong stuff coming, how much worse can that get?

[greentech]

I don't know. I guess-

[ She breaths out slowly and glances over at Sam with a shrug. ]

I guess we just do our best. And try to help people. That's what we're supposed to do right?

[headinjuries]

Yeah.

[ Sigh. ]

So! Catching bombers! At least I know that's gonna help more than it hurts.

[greentech]

Yeah, definitely.

[ Subject change is good. ]

I just wish we had more than theories to go on.

[ Breathe in, out. Feels like they're going in circles sometimes. ]

Somehow I thought being a space paladin wouldn't involve as much running in circles.

[headinjuries]

Sometimes it feels like all I've done since I started being Nova is running in circles.

[ He'd made some progress, sure. Or he'd thought he had, and then wound up right back at square one with nothing but an extra layer of frustration to show for it. ]

[greentech]

I thought I was finished, but then...

[ Pidge shakes her head. ]

You know what? I'm going to stop thinking about that. Because it's not helping me get anywhere.

[headinjuries]

Good call.

[ Not that not thinking about something is...all that easy, most of the time, but it's at least worth making the effort. ]
