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!

[Honestly, she is one of the last people, Ami is very hesitant about touch when it isn't Rei. Mostly because she can freeze people to the point of physical damage. She unfortunately can't hold Minako long but she smiles.]

Rei is perfectly fine, and I've already scolded her for her recklessness. And I've spoken with Michiru-san, but I haven't been able to check up on Haruka-san yet. What about you, are you alright?

child_of_luv: (Surprised as Sailor V)

[personal profile] child_of_luv 2015-10-27 05:32 am (UTC)(link)
Mm! [Minako nodded.] I... I was actually really surprised. Moltres saved me from being trampled by that White Dragon. I had moved up front because I figured my Fairy abilities and Eros would be a good way to disable it, but it just go so angry and started charging at everyone and everything.
allergictoloveletters: (Lack of composure)

[personal profile] allergictoloveletters 2015-10-27 08:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Minako! Didn't you have a team to work with? Why would you go by yourself on such a thing! Are you alright? Do I need to tend to anything?
child_of_luv: (Don't Be Mad 'Kay?)

[personal profile] child_of_luv 2015-10-28 07:30 am (UTC)(link)
What?! No! Nothing like that! [Oh no, Ami! Please don't be mad!] I'm okay, really! I was with a team, but it was the Moonblast from Eros that seemed to really do something. So, we figured we were the best bet against it. But, Moltres stopped it!
allergictoloveletters: (Was I supposed to be impressed?)

[personal profile] allergictoloveletters 2015-10-28 07:51 am (UTC)(link)
... Did you thank Moltres for his saving you, at least?
child_of_luv: (Yeah Right Whatever)

[personal profile] child_of_luv 2015-10-28 07:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, yeah... it said I should be honored... like it expected the thanks. It was actually kind of a jerk about it.

[She sighed, disappointed. She had expected better of a god.]
allergictoloveletters: (You are disturbing my reading)

[personal profile] allergictoloveletters 2015-10-29 02:19 am (UTC)(link)
Minako-chan, Moltres is a god, that he helped at all says far more than his words do.
child_of_luv: (Damn It)

[personal profile] child_of_luv 2015-10-29 03:36 am (UTC)(link)
I know, I know... I just- [She sighed again.] Ugh. It felt so weird. I'm not saying I'm not grateful, really. It just... rubbed me the wrong way.
allergictoloveletters: (What is happening)

[personal profile] allergictoloveletters 2015-10-29 09:50 pm (UTC)(link)
How did it feel weird?
child_of_luv: (Yeah Right Whatever)

[personal profile] child_of_luv 2015-11-07 03:30 am (UTC)(link)
It seemed awfully full of itself. Diancie was a lot nicer.
allergictoloveletters: (The things I have to deal with)

[personal profile] allergictoloveletters 2015-11-07 06:01 am (UTC)(link)
As a god, I'm not sure why that is entirely surprising. All the same, I rather a god that is arrogant than one seeking our destruction.
child_of_luv: (Hee Hee You'll See)

[personal profile] child_of_luv 2015-11-08 07:06 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. Maybe I'm just overreacting.

[She shrugged a little.]
