A Well Earned Celebration

[The battle was over and the god Reshiram defeated, driven away by the aid of Union and its allies. The city was safe, by and large, and as the news spread throughout the peoples of the tundra, they began streaming back into the settlement in droves. Dirty, ash-coated faces were filled with relief and gratitude when they saw that it wasn't just a rumor and that their home had indeed been spared. Not everyone was so lucky, but they'd weathered worse, of course. The people of Glacier endured, as they would always endure, and they were also a people that repaid their debts. And they most certainly all agreed that they owed their rescuers a debt.

So, as night fell after the battle, a great celebration was prepared in the center of Glacier. A wide square was cleared away in a matter of hours, and the people gathered what they could in a show of thanks. Tables of food, bonfires towering into the night sky to keep out the autumn chill, and throngs of cheering wellwishers lined the area. Warriors of glacier, men carrying swords and women all bearing axes offered enthusiastic handshakes and claps on the back. Music of all kinds was played, though tribal tunes full of horn and percussion, chanting and yodeling, and even some brass groups dominated the soundscape.

A platform for various elders was set up, and they offered speeches, of course...but those were somehow dwarfed by the presence of the divine beings that were waiting silently for the proceedings to end. Some of the gods that had come to the aid of the war parties had apparently decided to stay, though their reasons were as mysterious as they themselves. The humans would have their time, and the Servants would mingle freely throughout the evening.

Food, of course, is set out in piles. Meat, fish, arctic berries, and various pastries and the like line table after table. A smorgasbord of Glacier specialties, each with a new and unique flavor all their own, and some (such as the stew) possessing a smell that only a native could probably endure. Akutaq in particular seems to stand out among the worst offenders, but the Glacier natives seem rather fond of it, and offer it to their rescuers with great gusto.

And the rewards do not stop at simple meals. either. As the speeches begin to wind down, a woman some might find familiar walks up onto the stage carrying a singularly massive trunk and dropping it down onto the wood with a heavy thud.]


Southerners! You have done a great deed this day! We, the people of Glacier, would like to thank you and honor your sacrifice! Few would do as you have done, coming to the aide of strangers against the might of that dragon...and you have accomplished something we did not think possible. To that end, we would like to present you with the first of many gifts, a token of our gratitude and a promise that should you need it, we will come to your defense in a time of need!

[And then with a sharp kick, she cracks open the trunk and reveals a veritable treasure trove of three different stones to be distributed by her subordinates.]

Rest well, and enjoy the festivities! You are welcome here, for as long as you like! Eat, drink, and be merry within our halls!

Step 1, complete; Step 2, in progress; then on to an eternity of peace.

[It continues to sound amused.]

It appears you have accounted for everything.

Naturally. We take our duties very seriously. No way we're gonna let anyone try and wreck everything that we and our allies have worked so hard to make and protect.

[In the face of such sincerity, not even Darkrai can muster the effort to explain it was being facetious.

...It sighs slightly instead.]


Very good.

But I wonder if you know yet what that entails. Human... the path you have chosen is one on which we have traversed for a lifetime.
lunchleader: (don't know if want)

[Right blinks, and thinks those words over for a few moments.]

...are you talking about what just happened with the white dragon God?
bnw_wighty_npcs: (Darkrai Loom)

[personal profile] bnw_wighty_npcs 2015-10-13 12:09 am (UTC)(link)
I am talking about the balance that you seek.

[That includes rampaging white dragon gods.]
lunchleader: (whysoserious?)

[Right does go into deeper, more serious thought for a few minutes.]

...I can't turn back now, even if I want to. Too much is at stake - especially since you and your fellow Gods are getting involved now. Besides, even if I could, I'd be throwing away any shots of achieving my greatest wish.

[This is bait if Darkrai knows anything about the way humans interact. ...After a suitably long pause, it sighs and proceeds.]

And what is your greatest wish?
lunchleader: (childhood memories)

[personal profile] lunchleader 2015-10-18 03:42 am (UTC)(link)
For everyone to live together in peace - humans, Pokemon, and Gods. For everyone to work together, play together, and explore together...and to be friends together.

[There's a bit of shyness as he speaks - Darkrai's only the second Legendary Being to hear this from Right - but there's no questioning the hopeful look and sparkling smile.]

[Darkrai is pretty sure it's going to melt like a certain wicked witch in an entirely different form of media.]

...
...
...

Ad...mirable...

[Be strong, Darkrai. Don't make fun of the human.]

I. Uh. Yes.

[Logical thought has vanished.]

...Very good.

[Perhaps it can speak entirely in useless pleasantries for the rest of this conversation.]

Good... human.

[...K, it tried.]
