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!]

They crushed your flowers?! Who crushed your flowers?

[She's already looking over Emily's shoulder at the crowd, trying to see if she can figure out who the culprit is. Because that is simply unacceptable behavior, no matter who or where you are, and something needs to be done about it.]

[oh my god girl calm yourself. Emily laughs, shaking her head gently. even if she was kind of annoyed, she knows how futile enacting some kind of punishment for this would be. better for everyone's blood pressure to let it go.]

I couldn't really tell you! The crowd's so big I don't even really know when exactly it happened.
seigikan: (deep thoughts)

[personal profile] seigikan 2017-06-27 08:10 pm (UTC)(link)
[You can practically see the wheels turning in her head. It's only what feels like a lifetime's worth of false memories that's keeping her from taking immediate action. Harper Miles was a lot more sensible than Hotaru Tachibana is capable of being.]

If I went around and got up on stage between songs...

[Though, admittedly, "sensible" at this point really boils down to talking through her plans out loud instead of acting on pure impulse.]

[this is dangerously similar to the thought process of some of the kids she babysits for - but thankfully that also means that Emily has a few tricks up her sleeve to maybe prevent the concert from being thrown into even further chaos with a stage interloper.]

Mm, well, I'm probably going to go get some ice cream. You want any?
seigikan: (oh shit)

[personal profile] seigikan 2017-06-29 04:00 am (UTC)(link)
What?! At a time like this?

[She boggles at her like she can't believe what she's hearing.]

Ta-- That is...I need to do something about this! This can't be allowed to go unpunished!

[She's completely sincere about it, which is the most dangerous part.]

I heard there's a place where if you buy two you get a coupon for half off the biggest size, so it'd be really great if you came.

[and there's Emily, just blithely steamrolling along like the other girl hasn't said a goddamn odd thing since they bumped into each other. she's got a much cooler head under pressure than she gives herself credit for.]

Justice takes a lot of energy, right? It'd be better if you fueled up now and took them by surprise.
seigikan: (really?)

[personal profile] seigikan 2017-07-01 06:32 am (UTC)(link)
[She looks genuinely torn. Not so much by the ice cream but by the chance of a surprise attack. It is definitely a strategic advantage, but...wait...]

You're just trying to distract me!

[She deserves a gold star for figuring that out.]
failedhandjob: (she has built a transparent tower)

[personal profile] failedhandjob 2017-07-01 06:36 am (UTC)(link)
The ice cream place isn't that far from here. If I really wanted to distract you, wouldn't I try and take you somewhere further away?

[not to mention reason out why it'd be fine to take a break and then come back later. don't be so suspicious, girl, it's rude!!]

[personal profile] seigikan 2017-07-02 08:41 pm (UTC)(link)
[There's someone this is reminding her of, but sometimes going through two sets of memories is a bit taxing, especially when there are more important matters at hand.]

But --

[It would be rude to turn down an invitation, so now she's caught between proper courtesy and Justice. This is terrible.]

But if I went, they would be gone, and...

[THIS IS A DILEMMA.]

They look like they're having a pretty good time, don't they?

[she tilts her head back in the direction of the concert with an easygoing smile.]

I don't think anyone's going anywhere for a while.
seigikan: (pout)

[personal profile] seigikan 2017-07-05 04:04 am (UTC)(link)
I still don't think...

[But she'll herself be led along. She knows when she's been defeated. Kanae used to do this to her all the time.

Kanae! That's who she was thinking of!]

[to her credit, Emily doesn't gloat about her victory. in fact, all the pleasure in her countenance seems to be taken from the promise of ice cream and the happiness of having someone to chit-chat with. she's really a very nice girl when she doesn't have to be firm about things like ruining a festival over imaginary vengeance.]

So how long have you been at the festival?

[hey, might as well actually have that chit-chat as they traverse to the ice cream stand. keeps the mind busy.]
seigikan: (Default)

[personal profile] seigikan 2017-07-15 05:27 am (UTC)(link)
Um...since this afternoon.

[She's still struggling to switch gears. It's hard to flip the vengeance switch off.]

I came here with my brother, but he's off with his friends so I had to find something else to do.

Siblings can be like that, huh? They're never around when you actually need them.

[it's almost as if they knew what to do that would be the most inconvenient. the thought makes Emily giggle.]

You've probably seen more than me by now, though! I keep getting too distracted by things to really look around.
