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!]

[ Excellen was an Engineer, and while most of her expertise concerned weaponry, she had been known for making and wearing... interesting costumes during the various festivals around Caldera. It was true, her sense of style had not quite caught on, but the blond hoped that at least someone would appreciate her flair for the unusual.

Taking to the stage in a very risque lopunny suit, the buxom blond can be found either during or after the show in her pride and joy, possibly fishing for compliments, or trying to make some Union or Sanctuary citizens uncomfortable.

Probably the latter. ]

[The audible gasps and general shock from the Union crowd drew Kyosuke to investigate what the fuss was. His tone is supremely unsurprised when he locates her]

I'm not certain they're ready for that kind of fashion.

[ And there she is, lapping up the attention, basking in people's shock and awe. Of course Kyosuke had to ruin it by being a completely oblivious sour puss. Seriously, did you even have a pulse? ]

That's okay, I don't mind being a trendsetter~

[ She closes in on him, hooking her arm around his and pressing in just a bit too tight. You will pay her attention, Kyosuke. Mark her words. ]

I could make you a matching costume. I'll even let you wear my Lopunny ears, if you ask me nice enough.

[Kyosuke clears his throat]

I think that might be a bit too shocking.

[ Ehhh? What was with that reaction? She saw the look on his face, that curt, pointed clearing of his throat. Could it be--did she break through his steely exterior? Was Kyosuke Nanbu actually human? Did she finally get through to him?! ]

[ No way. It was probably in response to putting him in a matching outfit. Oh, but she could dream, couldn't she? Excellen gives him her usual predatory smile. ]

I think you'd look good in ears and a tail, something that'll show off that tone butt of yours. You know some ladies are really into that kind of thing, you know, cosplay~

[ Not her, per se, but it was fun to heckle. ]

That seems like it would be even more inappropriate.

But the ladies would love it.

[ Okay, so maybe this wasn't the best idea. Excellen wasn't too worried about him becoming a SUDDEN STUD! but at the same time, she didn't want to fight off a gaggle of thirsty girls. But it wasn't like he was going to say yes. ]

I am no expert, but that is not in line with things I have observed women appreciate.

[ Oho, he keeps up on these things? Excellen clutches his arm a bit, peering up at him. ]

Ohhh? Then enlighten me, Mister Nanbu, what've you observed?

An outfit like that would be too constricting, apparently going without a shirt is the best option.

Well if that's the look you're going for, I can make it happen~

[ NOT COMPLAINING A BIT. ]

It'll be cooling down soon, it doesn't sound very practical.

That just means you gotta cuddle in close for warmth.

[ Totally practical. ]

You know, skin-to-skin, it's supposed to help keep you warm. We could try it if you want!

[ She wasn't being even remotely serious here, she knew full well what his answer would be. But it was fun to play, even if he wouldn't play back. ]

It seems like that would make it a bit difficult to attend to one's business.

[ No Fun Nanbu strikes again. ]

Business all the time is boring. Besides, I hear it's good for your health, being together like that. Gets the blood flowing, you know?

I'm... not certain that would be... healthy for me...
