It's a Small (Brave New) World After All - 2nd Annual World's Fair
[It’s been a long year in this brave new world, in which the known span of human civilization has expanded more than ever before - but also come together. Between the attacks on Glacier and Union and the war with Gigas, an event like the World’s Fair feels especially poignant.
Union is making the best of it, too. Hosting the Fair for the second year in a row, the organizers have decided to use this attention to show off their newly rebuilt city, encouraging visitors to tour their refurbished industrial district and enjoy local culture at a theater or on the radio. Once more, said Entertainment District has decided to play host, and any number of booths and stalls can be seen lining the streets, with special discounts available to fairgoers at local businesses.
Excitement is running high - but so is tension. Gigas has been formally invited this year, and accepted with gusto; so has Glacier. Gigan tourists are easily identified by the propensity they have for taking pictures of everything (using much smaller cameras than anyone in Union has ever seen!) and for conversing in very loud voices about how quaint and old-fashioned and charming everything is. Will the goodwill the two cities forged after the Emperor’s fall manage to withstand the might of Gigas’s nationalism? Only time will tell.
Time, and the goodheartedness of the Union people. It’s time for the second World’s Fair!]

Re: AERIAL SHOW
[As they come to a five point star overhead, she takes a step back, mouth open in awe, but feels her back bump up against another living body. Human or Pokemon, she jumps in embarrassment and whirls around.]
Sorry! I was so caught up watching, my clumsiness got the best of me!
Re: AERIAL SHOW
So it would appear. Are you all right, Mamzel?
no subject
Oh! Garviel, it's you!
[She seems genuinely happy to see him here.]
You're a lot bigger in person, ha ha! I'm okay. It was just a little bump, I'm not even bruised. It's nice to meet you at last.
[Orihime will even politely bow.]
How are the chitons working out for you? Are they comfortable?
no subject
I have been told I am a large man, yes. And I am glad that you are well.
The chitons are working out well, my thanks. It was a pleasure to add them to my collection of clothes.
no subject
[She seems delighted, pressing her fingertips together as she grins.]
I'll make sure to get you some warmer ones too once the season starts to change. But this is great, running into each other like this! Are you interested in Flying-type Pokemon too?
no subject
[ He's a little curious about the physical gesture of pressing her fingertips together, but he figures perhaps that is a culturally divergent gesture, one not found in Caldera. </small.]
no subject
[She's learned that Doduo can probably manage it now, even though she used to think it was a flightless bird. Duo proved her otherwise when she saw him riding his own.]
I need to find a Water Pokemon that can swim too. I guess I'd better look into getting a fishing rod or something, so we can start traveling to the different islands around here.
no subject
[ Garviel you are the most foolish of men. ]
Hmm. I do not have any water-typed pokemon myself. Perhaps I should remedy that.
no subject
[It sounds like a compliment. Most people do assume she weighs a lot due to her mature curves. But she's nodding vigorously now that they're discussing Pokemon.]
Me too! What if we pooled our money together to get a really good fishing rod, and then shared it until we each got our own water Pokemon?
no subject
[ Now if only he had social skills beyond honesty and forthrightness. ]
no subject
[She can't imagine he would ever lie about anything himself, even as a joke.]
I'll ask Duo what he needs. We should decide on what kind of rod we want too! If it's too good, we might wind up being tackled by Pokemon that are way too strong for us, but if it's too weak we probably can't find any Pokemon that can help us cross the water.
