World Fair

In the week of lead-up to the fair, the whole of Union had been ablaze with excited chatter, industrious preparations, and quite a fair number of new faces. People from all over the known world had begun to trickle in with the announcement, some representatives and workers from each invited civilization, some excited young trainers and travelers, hopeful prizewinners and showboaters, cooks, warriors, clothing designers, and of course a wide variety of Pokemon. You couldn’t look anywhere (even a trash can) without finding somebody new, and every single person was absolutely thrilled to be there.

The World’s Fair, hopefully the first of many, sprawled out across the Entertainment District. Large swathes of the area had been cordoned off for the event, stalls and tables, booths and small shelters set out and erected over the course of the week. Local workers and travelers dug in, working in shifts to get everything together on time. Voices sang out around the grounds, work chants accompanied by the beat of hammers and nails, with every soul pouring their hearts into their tasks. A busy time, certainly, and one fueled by a desire for harmony, profit, and to start off the idea with a bang.

There were, of course, a few noticeable exceptions. The open invitation to Gigas that the Council had so warmly extended had been accepted in due time. Those who numbered themselves amongst that great city were distinguishable by their less than friendly countenances and penchant for taking notes, no doubt analyzing the city of their enemies. One likely familiar face made her appearance partway through the week, disappearing quickly into a tent and remaining indoors for the rest of the preparations.

Come opening day, people had already begun lining up at the entrance, awaiting admission. The queue stretched for blocks and blocks, a serpentine loop of people and Pokemon all eager for a chance to see what this fair was all about. Like everything else surrounding the event, there was a certain buzz to it. Chatter filled the line, questions and queries hanging on everyone’s lips. Did you see that robot? What’s that smell? Did you see that Maxime de la Puffette was planning on unveiling her fall lineup here? Oh! Oh! And there are three idol groups! Risette may even make a performance! and there was another rumor that buzzed through the line as well. Gigas accepted the invitation. And so did some of those people from the Archipelago…

Once inside the grounds proper, a dizzying array of sights, sounds and smells assailed every visitor’s senses. Music blared, machines clinked and clanked, food sizzled on grills, exotic spices wafted down the paths, unusual Pokemon let out cries of surprise and delight, and people ooh and ahhhed. Technological wonders stood out on stages, concerts presented a variety of music in every style imaginable, there were whole areas set aside for nothing but eating and fashion, while martial artists, Pokemon and brawlers duked it out in the various arenas. And above it all, airborne Pokemon soared and wheeled, banking and turning as their riders and egos clashed in a competition of acrobatics and skill. All of this could really only mean one thing, and even if by chance you were a Crustle living under a literal rock, you couldn’t miss it.

An event like nothing held since the Cataclysm, and something wholly unique had begun today, and for one week only. The First World’s Fair!

[OOC: This post is open to all players throughout the next week. Feel free to tag around, start your own top levels, and generally have fun during the fair. Some new and familiar faces will be tagging around as well, and may tag into your threads!]

[And a passing Yuuna appears. And stops, spluttering as Noonvale zaps her.]

NOONVALE! WHAT IS THIS UNGODLY STENCH?!
warriormouse: (...What)

[personal profile] warriormouse 2015-08-28 04:06 am (UTC)(link)
[Noonvale chides Yuuna--it's her perfume! She's smelled it before, Noonvale gave her a vial.

...but the smell was for before she Awakened.

Oops.

Tiria writes out Noonvale's apology while she sniffs and adjusts for Yuuna's new smell: black tea, lemon, and a little honey.]

[And in that time she's become rather acutely sensitive to certain things. Smells among them. This one though...]

That's much better. Goodness, what even was that?
warriormouse: (Side Eye)

[personal profile] warriormouse 2015-08-28 04:32 am (UTC)(link)
[Noonvale shrugs. Leather, mostly, but also sandalwood and vanilla.

Tiria translates yet again. More people need to speak Poke.]

[She looks helplessly...]

When I find Martin...

[Sunflash wails at that. No! Don't find Martin!

Which is really all anyone needs to know that Martin has no idea this is happening.]
rainsrespite: (Surprised!)

[personal profile] rainsrespite 2015-08-29 01:33 am (UTC)(link)
[Guess who has the Warp Band out? Yes that's right...

Beep Beep Martin.]
warriormouse: (Side Eye)

[personal profile] warriormouse 2015-08-29 01:35 am (UTC)(link)
[Martin answers it]

Yuuna?
rainsrespite: (Chained In)

[personal profile] rainsrespite 2015-08-29 01:36 am (UTC)(link)
You have Pokemon on the loose. I'm down by [Insert locale.] and you should come by.
warriormouse: (Oh God Why)

[personal profile] warriormouse 2015-08-29 01:37 am (UTC)(link)
[He groans.]

Which ones? Do I owe you money for lost property?
rainsrespite: (Default)

[personal profile] rainsrespite 2015-08-29 01:38 am (UTC)(link)
Tiria, Noonvale, and Sunflash. And no. But Noonvale's spritzing things.
warriormouse: (Amused)

[personal profile] warriormouse 2015-08-29 01:38 am (UTC)(link)
...do I owe you for laundry?

[He's heading that way]
rainsrespite: (Default)

[personal profile] rainsrespite 2015-08-29 06:36 am (UTC)(link)
I'm not sure. I hope this comes out.
warriormouse: (Default)

[personal profile] warriormouse 2015-08-29 04:10 pm (UTC)(link)
It should, I have a soap that works wonders. I am so sorry, Yuuna.
rainsrespite: (Default)

[personal profile] rainsrespite 2015-08-30 04:54 am (UTC)(link)
It's fine. I just wanted to let you know that you had three rowdies on the loose.
warriormouse: (Oh God Why)

[personal profile] warriormouse 2015-08-30 05:06 am (UTC)(link)
I am on my way. What were they doing?
rainsrespite: (Proud)

[personal profile] rainsrespite 2015-08-30 05:21 am (UTC)(link)
Spraying passersby for one.

warriormouse: (...What)

[personal profile] warriormouse 2015-08-30 05:22 am (UTC)(link)
Well, yes, but Noonvale typically does it for a reason.
rainsrespite: (Hallo!!)

[personal profile] rainsrespite 2015-08-30 05:23 am (UTC)(link)
Well, I just got sprayed...you may wanna ask.
warriormouse: (Default)

[personal profile] warriormouse 2015-08-30 05:27 am (UTC)(link)
I will. Keep them there for me, will you? Sunflash and Noonvale may try to hide.
rainsrespite: (Bored)

[personal profile] rainsrespite 2015-08-30 05:30 am (UTC)(link)
Right...

[And she definitely keeps an eye on those two...]
warriormouse: (...What)

[personal profile] warriormouse 2015-08-30 05:33 am (UTC)(link)
[As soon as Martin turns up, his two more dramatic 'mons rush over and try to explain while Tiria tries to explain more calmly.]

...fundraising? For what? And why would you spray Yuuna?

[They hand him the flyers for his building project.

Martin just facepalms]


They're going to be the death of me.
rainsrespite: (Wicked)

[personal profile] rainsrespite 2015-08-30 05:36 am (UTC)(link)
They probably are.

[She gives Noonvale a tired look.]

I'm already helping, sweetie.
warriormouse: (Side Eye)

[personal profile] warriormouse 2015-08-30 05:38 am (UTC)(link)
[You can see the realization dawn on her.

Oh.

Well, you needed new perfume anyway!]


No she didn't, Noonvale. People will ask you if they want more perfume.
rainsrespite: (Sunflowers)

[personal profile] rainsrespite 2015-08-30 05:57 am (UTC)(link)
This is true.

[What if she'd suddenly gained an allergy, huh?]
