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!

Our group or Union as a whole?
lunchleader: (hey Tokacchi...)

[personal profile] lunchleader 2015-10-29 08:03 am (UTC)(link)
Our group...but I think we're pretty similar to how Union's been reacting to everything.
incousinswithyou: (that could actually be the ship name)

[she still hasn't really forgiven Darkrai for taking Haruka for a week, to be honest]

I can't refute that. [there's an almost-sigh here] And considering the enemy, I'm glad for it.

[as good as they are, they probably couldn't have taken down Reshiram by themselves]
lunchleader: (fushigi mystery)

So am I, really...

[Right then lets out a long sigh...with a slight hint of jealousy?]

Who had thought that someone can bond with a God, though?
incousinswithyou: (DO go on)

[Michiru's smile gets a little wider]

Is that something you'd like to try, Right?
lunchleader: (dude I'm in the middle of eating)

[personal profile] lunchleader 2015-10-30 02:35 pm (UTC)(link)
[Right's caught by surprise by that question. How did she know that already...?]

Ehh? Me? Well...maybe. I mean, I'd rather be their friend first...

incousinswithyou: I think you missed a leaf (ara haruka)

[personal profile] incousinswithyou 2015-11-01 01:49 am (UTC)(link)
[Michiru just laughs quietly. That's such a perfect answer.]

If it's you, I don't think you'll have a problem with that.

[reminds her of a certain princess]
lunchleader: (She said what?)

[That does settle him down a little...and maybe brighten him up a bit as well.]

You really think so?
incousinswithyou: (goddess of the sea)

Your food bill might grow exponentially, but yes.

After all, your Pokemon are lucky to have you. [you and your small parade of Pokemon]
lunchleader: (c'mon get happy~)

[personal profile] lunchleader 2015-11-03 09:23 pm (UTC)(link)
[That does bring out a smile and a small chuckle out of Right.]

Well, I'm glad that we're all friends. Or at least, close to it for some of them.
incousinswithyou: there is never an inappropriate time for a sex joke (no)

I'm just glad the testing seems to be over, really.

[and also they helped save their butts from Reshiram]
