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!

Bear! [ That's an excellent comparison! Now that Stradivarius has said that, Sky feels certain that must be the logic behind how castles are built. (It is exactly the sort of thing that would appeal to Ferrari.) She takes care to keep her pinecones perfectly-spaced, as well.

Haruka thinks this over. Had her own negativity fed Rise's? Both of them knew the facts....but she can see how that could have happened. Talking at cross-purposes takes two people erring.

Anyway, that's done. It takes her a while to talk again. ]
...She hates radio.

[ It would almost have been easier if Haruka'd done the kicking out. As best as she understands, Rise had come to the Theater to claim new pieces of herself. ]

[Stradivarius checks out their handiwork and nods in approval. So this is what castles look like...

All the better. Michiru likes the girl.]
Will you talk to her or should I?

[she's pretty sure she knows the answer to this one, but a nudge won't hurt]

[ Sky nods - this must be it - but a small voice (that sounds oddly like Passion) in the back of her head asks her whether she has ever known Ferrari to be right about anything in the past. But that sort of doubt is unseemly in a lady!

...do you suppose they're done? Nowhere is in need of embellishment? ]
Bear?

[ Haruka indulges her sulk a moment longer, then turns her head completely away from Michiru. Rise did still fail them. But Haruka feels more at ease when she speaks up. ] After the performance.

[if Stradivarius knew who Sky's source was, she'd have doubts too. But since Sky seems confident, she's not going to question it too much.

Hmm.]
Nido ni? [they can add on patterns to the walls since they do seem a bit bare.

Michiru leans back against her Pokemon, eyeing you sidelong. Asking for a more complete report next time is much more efficient than finding a new Analyst.

She's quiet though, as she takes up petting Nocturne again.]

Bear! [ Sky claps her paws together. That would be so lovely! She taps the frost beneath her bottom lip with a claw, debating what to draw, and then tentatively reaches out. Nobody ever went wrong with curlicues, have they...

Haruka leans on Michiru, too. It's been a long night. But being here helps. ]
