It's a Small (Brave New) World After All - 2nd Annual World's Fair

[bravenewmods]

[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: SPARRING ARENA

[ Loken is sternly watching the fights from the sidelines, as his Riolu pugnaciously emulates moves it sees in the sparring around. He is lost in contemplation, at least until someone rolls up on him ]

[sparrowfeathered]

One of those yours?

[And someone rolls up. Rose approaches from behind, hands in her pockets. Her Blaziken's gonna be out in the arena -- he's warming up. She's letting Efreet do it, but she's hear to watch.]

[greyerrant]

No, mine are... still in training.

[ Riolu looks rather offended when the large warrior says this, and his Honedge quietly hovers up to where Rose and Loken are talking. ]

[sparrowfeathered]

I hear ya! One of mine's competing, but he's been training with me forever. Most of them aren't gonna.

[She shakes her head, then glances sideways at Loken.]

[greyerrant]

Yes Mamzel?

[ he noticed the sideways glance, though he has little idea of the reason for it. The Ghost pokemon continues to hover near them both. ]
