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!

Well, neither did Fuuka, but she came through at a crucial moment.

[He says casually. Good thing Fuuka isn't here to hear that.]

Besides, your pokémon will do the fighting for you if you can't.

Again, that's what got us in trouble with the gods in the first place...what kind of history do they teach in Citadel, anyway?
punchesyu: (no i wasn't trying to be mean!)

[personal profile] punchesyu 2015-10-28 03:50 pm (UTC)(link)
T-That's not what I meant!

[He's not a priest of the order in Citadel, so he avoids the religion aspect of it.]

We're called trainers for a reason, right? I wasn't trying to say we were abusing our pokemon or anything. But that is sorta what happens in a fight like that.
celebrity_commentator: (uncertain)

[Rise sighs, and grimaces at putting Yosuke on the defensive like that. That was just lashing out, and she knows it.]

...sorry. I know what you meant. And maybe you're right and there's nothing I could do to avoid a fight there.

I just...maybe I'm doing this whole dealing-with-gods stuff the wrong way. Or I'm not cut out for it, I don't know.
punchesyu: (i am saying things plz listen)

[personal profile] punchesyu 2015-11-01 12:58 am (UTC)(link)
I know I wasn't there or anything, but I'm sure you did what you could.

[He says with a steady resolve. The best he can to try and comfort.]

Plus, you gotta remember, that god was bonded to a human...that means it mighta been taking orders from that guy. And I dunno if anyone was going to be able to reason with him.
celebrity_commentator: (this picture needs senpai in it)

[personal profile] celebrity_commentator 2015-11-02 01:26 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah...

[She bites her lip again, but she does feel like maybe she's been overreacting.]

It's pretty arrogant thinking I was the one thing between success and failure, huh?

punchesyu: (where is that stupid bear)

[personal profile] punchesyu 2015-11-02 01:35 am (UTC)(link)
Don't say it like that! It's like I said. You were just being too hard on yourself.

[He gives a cheery smile.]
celebrity_commentator: (professional)

[personal profile] celebrity_commentator 2015-11-02 09:12 pm (UTC)(link)
[She can't help but crack a smile now.]

You know, you're even better than me at being super-positive when you put your mind to it. You should do it more often.
punchesyu: (He's probably running his mouth)

[personal profile] punchesyu 2015-11-03 10:37 pm (UTC)(link)
[He starts out self-assured:]

Well, you know, it's all in a day's work...

[And then he actually thinks about it.]

...hey, what's that supposed to mean anyway?
celebrity_commentator: (:3)

[personal profile] celebrity_commentator 2015-11-04 02:29 am (UTC)(link)
Well, the nice way to put it is have as much confidence in yourself as you do in me right now.
punchesyu: (dude that's not cool)

[personal profile] punchesyu 2015-11-05 11:50 am (UTC)(link)
Hey, I've got confidence! You should of seen me out there!

[He was totally cool! Actually no, not for the most part.]

[personal profile] celebrity_commentator 2015-11-06 03:31 am (UTC)(link)
I know you were, Yosuke. You were giving it your all, right?

[She's serious.]
