Arrival in Gigas

The City of Gigas is unlike anything the people of Union have ever seen before. The city is immense, a sprawling metropolis that covers the land as far as the eye can see. Built up primarily around enormous centralized towers, unlike Union these towers are dark concrete buildings, covered in glass windows. The buildings seem to serve any number of functions, and have a startling variety in construction, style, and even size, creating a unique skyline that is breathtaking to behold. The city is connected with roads of asphalt, upon which whiz smoke-belching steel carriages at frightful speeds, the engines (and piercing, constant horns) creating an ever-present din that engulfs the city in loud, chaotic sound.

“Downtown,” as the Gigans know it, is a huge collection of stores, apartments, and businesses. Apparently, the larger homes are built in Calderan-style but tend to be further from the main commotion of the downtown areas, of which Gigas citizens assure Union citizens that there are several, each with their own district name and culture. The technology is quite advanced as well, full color televisions are standard in every home and built in devices so slim and with such sharp images that they seem decades ahead of Union’s own technology. Pokemon are still quite present in Gigas, many people riding flying types and the buildings having huge perches to accommodate them. As with the vehicles below, however, Gigas seems to regulate air traffic to individual lanes and the birds seem well-trained as they convey their trainers to and fro.

Humans are just that, here, Human. No unusual shapes and sizes like the Enlightened and Earthkin of the Union Alliance, and those displaying unusual traits receive odd looks. Like many civilizations to the east, Battling is a common sport though in this place it’s more like the combat arenas of old. Several stadiums dot the cityscape, the sounds of Pokemon Battles and cheering crowds echoing for blocks all around, and it’s a stadium where humans are not welcome. Unless, of course, they want to make a show and spar against a Pokemon, of course.

This is Gigas, the City of Reclamation. Union civilians have free rein to explore this grand city as councillors are invited into the massive capitol building to negotiate with the Gigan leaders. Gigas civilians, for their part, are polite, friendly even. While many of them are caught in the bustle of their daily lives they regard Union citizens with interest and curiosity, willing to talk about their city, extolling its virtues while complaining about the noise, the crowds, the lines, and the expense all the while. One thing is clear though, the people of Gigas are proud of their city and their accomplishments. This is their home, and they are eager to show it off to the world.

[Rose glances over at Mikleo when he speaks; then she blinks, head tilted to the side, and nods her head at him.]

Yeah, though... I'm not sure what I need? I'm thinking I should take a few books back to sell in Union. Or maybe Sanctuary.

But I don't wanna read all of them...
rulayracing: (Your heart makes)

[...Well. Mikleo can't really say no to helping someone out with books, especially when it could introduce new opportunities in a different city.]

Sanctuary would love to take some of these off your hands, but Union might need them more. Although, if you want to sell to both, then you could always take the ones dealing with history and spells for Sanctuary, and Union could be sold engineering and science books.
sparrowfeathered: (Big Grin)

Oh, you got a point. I bet they'd do better. Though--maybe I should ask the Seekers first. They love all that history stuff! Ruins and everything else, you know?

[She shrugs lightly.] But, I bet I could get a book for myself, too, like... [Her eyes light up and then she pulls off a book titled... Pun-kémon: Gotta Make 'Em All.]

Perfect!
rulayracing: (Your heartaches (2))

[personal profile] rulayracing 2016-04-12 10:29 pm (UTC)(link)
That's true enough. Although, if your prices on history and archaeology books are cheaper than these, then I'd be tempted to buy them from you instead.

[He glances at the title and crinkles his nose slightly. Not that he's got anything against puns, but...boy can they be horrible.]

I see where your sense of humor lies.

[Mikleo's already dreading it.]
sparrowfeathered: (Cheerful)

[personal profile] sparrowfeathered 2016-04-13 01:34 am (UTC)(link)
Oh yeah? All my stock's in Union right now, but if you're headed that way...

[And if he doesn't mind waiting. She grins, then, and extends a hand.]

Yep! Sure is. I'm Rose, by the way.
rulayracing: (No matter how your heart is grieving)

[personal profile] rulayracing 2016-04-13 03:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Certainly. The ruins underneath Union have been something I've wanted to take a look at since I was a child.

[Okay. Rose. He'll remember that.]

I'm Mikleo, and this is Morgan.

[The Eevee looks up at her with some curiosity, tilting her head slightly to the side.]
sparrowfeathered: (Happy)

[personal profile] sparrowfeathered 2016-04-13 05:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, yeah? I haven't had a chance to look. I'm not... you know... that great with ruins. They're kinda old and dusty!

[To say the least.]

Nice to meet you! This is Efreet.

[The Combusken behind her squawks.]
