"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 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]

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]

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.

[failedhandjob]

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.
