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, she had been trying to wait for a good opportunity for the interruption, at least.]

I see. Do you feel that way about all kinds of music, or it is just this particular type?

[After all, the bird-god had been around for a very long time.]

"No, that noise you humans call 'music' tends to be loud and I don't quite understand it."

It does vary for humans as well, depending on the instruments or the occasion. The music here, for example, does seem to have a distinctive rhythm to it. A traditional sound for the people of Glacier... it is fascinating.

[Oh... oops. She seems to be going a little music-nerd to the giant flaming bird god. Anything to keep the nerves away.]

Or would something with a melody suit you better? Like... the sound of a flute, for instance.

Neeeeeerd. Moltres preens a bit at its belly. ]


"Goodness no, those shrill things? They hurt my ears."

Is that so? I am sorry to hear that.

[So much for that little plan.] Still, I've taken up much of your time with my prattling on. I hope you enjoy the rest of the evening's fare, great one.

[ Seriously, why can't humans play the kind of music Moltres likes. Terrible. ]

"If you think of it as wasting someone's time, then it is. You humans are so self-conscious. Let me give you a bit of advice, darling. If you think that what you say isn't important, than it isn't. People will think that you're boring."
wise_maiden: (should we try and stay)

Not at all, great one. I was just being polite; I had interrupted you from the kind of music you seemed to like after all.

"If you aim to apologize, then make it up to me."
