The Longest Day (Open to All)

Who: Open Log (All)
Where: Point-à-Tarte
Summary: The Longest Day
Warnings: N/A

"Do they ever stop partying? Probably not...I gotta say that's one thing Eddan has going for itself..."

A Festival for the Sunlight
Eddan prides itself in its many festivals. While the summer solstice doesn’t have much religious significance to the city, it’s surged back into popularity as a holiday partly due to the city’s curfew. More daylight means more time to be out and about and to party!

It’s for this reason that the rest of the week is a holiday for most of the city. Everywhere people look, the city is decorated in bright flowers and lights that light up even the darkest of night (although everyone is warned to stay inside regardless).

A music festival with rock and electronic concerts is being arranged in Point-à-Tarte's park. Many great local acts are scheduled to take the stage until sunset, though that won’t be enough for some. The party will move into bunkers and underground clubs once the sun goes down, with the pounding beat of the music lasting until dawn.

The Arrows Never Lie
However for the Awakened, they will soon notice something odd. Some of the festival goers around them will take on a different appearance if they don’t look at them directly. If that’s not enough for someone to notice, the red arrows that begin to appear over their heads with the same symbol from Applenet is a pretty big clue.

No one else seems to notice, however. Not even the people themselves.

However if an Awakened person gets closer to one of them, a disclaimer will appear on their phone.

"Don't overdo it, got it? If you shake their brain too much, it might be dangerous. But keep a close eye on them for me, won't ya? Don't give them multiple headaches! That's bad!"

[OOC: If Awakened speak with non-Awakened characters, their conversations may bring little bits of memory back to them. However, be careful! If they overload them with memories they might attract the attention of something they wouldn't want to. Let us know if that happens!]

Oh! Their beef bowl is pretty fantastic too. They even have a spicy version if you'd like that. I just prefer their pork. Any of their bowls are filling...though I wouldn't mind getting some gyoza to share if you're interested.

[He was making himself hungry and he was already AT the restaurant. He couldn't wait to actually get some food.]
hachitaro: (ahahah!)

[personal profile] hachitaro 2017-07-04 05:27 am (UTC)(link)
Gyoza would be good. Spice might not be good if we're going to be sitting somewhere for a while. Let's see...

[He looks at the menu and waits to order, getting a beef bowl and some gyoza.]

Your turn.

[Out of the corner of Jaune's eye, he'll see a furry tail wagging - though it's not there when he looks at it more directly, obviously.]
sociallyarcward: (Usually Wait What)

[personal profile] sociallyarcward 2017-07-04 08:09 pm (UTC)(link)
[He's...really gotta figure that one out. The arrow and then the tail. Is it part of Kei's true form or something? Is he some kind of faunus? He doesn't seem to be aware of it.

And every time he tries to focus on the tail it vanishes--so maybe he's actually seeing things. That was a possibility right?
]

Huh? Oh, right. I'll have the pork ramen.

[He places his order as well, rubbing at his forehead as he tries to get the pieces to fall together or at least stop rolling around in circles.]
hachitaro: (suspicious.)

[personal profile] hachitaro 2017-07-05 12:49 am (UTC)(link)
[Kei looks over at John, narrowing his eyes and tilting his head.]

Are you sure you're okay? You look like you're getting a headache, too.
sociallyarcward: (Usually Oh Nevermind)

[personal profile] sociallyarcward 2017-07-05 11:38 pm (UTC)(link)
[He thinks about being honest, he really does, but he knows that really WILL cause a headache. They aren't supposed to talk about THAT out in public and he'd already gotten that warning. Vague it is--because John is just too terrible at lying to try for anything else. As long as he's telling mostly the truth he should be find.]

I just have a lot on my mind and I haven't been sleeping very well lately. It's not really a headache though, at least not yet.
hachitaro: (ahahah!)

[personal profile] hachitaro 2017-07-05 11:41 pm (UTC)(link)
... If you're sure. You know you can always talk to me if you want, though... you can send me a text at least.

[He pats John on the shoulder gently, smiling.]
sociallyarcward: (Usually Oh Nevermind)

[personal profile] sociallyarcward 2017-07-05 11:59 pm (UTC)(link)
I want to [he says without thinking] but...it's complicated. I don't know how to really explain it.

[He smiles though at the hand on the shoulder. It's reassuring if nothing else--even if Kei doesn't know what he's on the brink of.] Same to you.
hachitaro: (hey baby.)

[personal profile] hachitaro 2017-07-06 12:05 am (UTC)(link)
Thanks. ... I appreciate it.

[He smiles a little sheepishly, before pulling his hand away.]

I just... want you to feel good. We country kids have to stick together, right?
sociallyarcward: (Usually Studying)

[personal profile] sociallyarcward 2017-07-06 02:16 am (UTC)(link)
Right. It's better that way.

[Maybe he can think of another way to talk about everything that's happening, though he knows soon enough it will be out in the open. He just hopes Kei will understand.

In the meantime, their order of gyoza and the ramen is delivered. Time to start eating before they have to head for their concert.
]

Oh man...it smells as good as it looks.
hachitaro: (ahahah!)

[personal profile] hachitaro 2017-07-06 02:22 am (UTC)(link)
It really does... you weren't kidding.

[TIME TO START NOMMING WITH INHUMAN SPEED. Ugh how long has it been since he's had a really good beef bowl?]
sociallyarcward: (Default)

[personal profile] sociallyarcward 2017-07-11 02:24 am (UTC)(link)
[John digs in to his own meal. It'd been awhile since he had ramen and this particular bowl did NOT disappoint. He slurped it down without much worry and let Kei enjoy his beef bowl as well.

Besides, if they're eating that means John doesn't have to worry about awkward questions that might blow up Kei's mind apparently. Thanks app.

[Once they're done, Kei reaches for the check. The time to strike is now, John!]
sociallyarcward: (Default)

[personal profile] sociallyarcward 2017-07-12 01:54 am (UTC)(link)
[John scowls and moves his hand forward as well.]

Hey! You got the tickets--let me get the grub.
hachitaro: (huh?)

[personal profile] hachitaro 2017-07-12 02:06 am (UTC)(link)
Fine, fine.

[He waves John off a bit, though he doesn't actually look annoyed.]
sociallyarcward: (Default)

[personal profile] sociallyarcward 2017-07-13 02:38 am (UTC)(link)
[John takes that as a yes and puts his card with the bill, handing it off to the server so they can run it and then head out.]

So do you know much about this group that we're going to see?
hachitaro: (ahahah!)

[personal profile] hachitaro 2017-07-13 03:00 am (UTC)(link)
They're local... they do some a cappella stuff? They also have a backing band for other songs. They're pretty decent, I've seen them before. They could probably go for bigger crowds, in my opinion, but I guess maybe they're building up their brand.
sociallyarcward: (Default)

[personal profile] sociallyarcward 2017-07-14 02:29 am (UTC)(link)
[Once the card is returned, Jaune gets up from the table. Time to go, right?]

Cool. I don't really keep up with stuff like that, though mom is really trying to get more people to come perform at the cafe on the weekends I think. Maybe you can help me find some groups that would be good for that.
hachitaro: (Default)

[personal profile] hachitaro 2017-07-15 06:36 pm (UTC)(link)
I'd love to! Sometimes I go to places for small concerts and I bet a lot of them would love to have some more gigs.

[He holds the door open for John.]

I'd love to be in a band, but I just don't have the musical skill for it.
sociallyarcward: (Default)

[personal profile] sociallyarcward 2017-07-16 04:59 am (UTC)(link)
Mm. I took a few guitar lessons before, but I mostly just know a few basic chords. What about writing lyrics...have you ever tried to do that?
hachitaro: (huh?)

[personal profile] hachitaro 2017-07-16 09:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Uh... a little bit... but it always sounded too corny. I mean so do a lot of songs, but if I'm gonna do it, I wanna do it well.
sociallyarcward: (Usually Cute)

[personal profile] sociallyarcward 2017-07-19 03:31 am (UTC)(link)
[Jaune chuckles.] Yeah, writing lyrics always sounded like it would be too hard. But you know...never say never.
hachitaro: (tch.)

[personal profile] hachitaro 2017-07-19 03:39 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah... it's something to think about, at least. I mean... I've got no idea what I'm doing in terms of school. I'm going to have to figure out a focus soon... I know my family wants me to do business, but...

[He makes a face. Ew, no.]
sociallyarcward: (Usually Wait What)

[personal profile] sociallyarcward 2017-07-20 02:35 am (UTC)(link)
I'm just glad my mom never expected me to follow her into the restaurant business...still it's funny how it's so easy to figure out what you don't want to do, but when you actually try to figure out the opposite it's so much harder.

[He thinks about his life as Jaune. How being a Huntsman had seemed impossible and yet it was all he had wanted to do. John...John didn't have that kind of dedication to something. Sure, he wanted to DO something with his life, but there was nothing as clear cut for him here.]

[He mutters under his breath.]Especially now...

[What future did he really have here? Was this the life he should be worried about? He still went to school, so a part of him must have thought that was important. Of course there was also just the logistics of having to explain dropping out.
It was easier just to keep going and play at figuring out what John could do.
Besides, there was every possibility that he'd be here for awhile and would need SOMETHING to do in the daylight hours.
]
hachitaro: (danger.)

[personal profile] hachitaro 2017-07-20 02:41 am (UTC)(link)
... Yeah? Are they putting pressure on you to figure out what you want to focus on? That sucks...

[And he'd hoped that his parents could lay off lecturing him, but no. They had to keep pushing him about what subjects he was thinking of taking like a year and a half out.]

Man, I came here to get away from that stuff... guess 'love' knows no distance or whatever.
sociallyarcward: (Default)

[personal profile] sociallyarcward 2017-07-24 03:16 am (UTC)(link)
Well...not so much. I'm sure it will only get worse.

[He at least didn't have to hear lectures much since he helped with the restaurant. He figured soon though...as he moved closer to having to actually decide on a focus or major that might change.]

Sorry, I guess you don't want to talk about it right now either, huh?
