"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!]

[She grumbles ineffectually taking a bite out of her own plate of acquired food, shooting glares at the crowd]
I mean, seriously, great place to live and all, but why do we have so many damn parties?
no subject
[He sips at his own drink, trying to pretend he exists on another plane of existence than a place with so many people.]
So that sort of thing.... probably. It's probably a form of denial too...
no subject
[A single eyebrow raises as Delilah turns to face the stranger. She wasn't overly interested about this guy before but after saying something interesting like that? Well she couldn't just let him go at that]
Go on. What do you mean by that?

...Most people don't have to deal with threats to their life. Especially not in cities like Eddan. So they become complacent.
Then something like this happens. Once, twice, even three times... It can be concerning, enough to spark a panic, but as the body count gets higher and more people who were known in the community become victims...
...People don't really know how to deal with that if they've never faced anything like it before. So, to cope, they do things like this... Making a holiday that once wasn't particularly noteworthy into something extravagant. They can't control what's happening, especially as previous methods like the curfew prove ineffective, so...
They pretend they can still live a normal life, where everything is fine...
[And he finishes with a shrug.]
...Or something like that.
