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.

"Oh, Kyosuke, I wasn't expecting to see you here! But yes, I am! Um...are you enjoying your time here?"

And yet, she looked distracted

"No."

Kyosuke's bluntness has no malice, it is merely a statement of a fact.

"Are you all right? You appear distracted."

Well, that wasn't something she was expecting! In that moment, she momentarily forgot about her Meowstic and gave him a curious look.

"Um...mind if I ask why?"

"I am Calderan."

There was a long pause on Fuuka's end before she suddenly found herself staring at the ground. How awkward.

"O-Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean...!" Well, now what?

"It's no problem."

As the silence continued, Fuuka just found herself having no idea what to say back. Well, now what?

"Um...by the way, have you seen a Meowstic around? I'm afraid I don't know where she might be!"

"That way."

Kyosuke points to the left. Nothing escapes his gaze. NOTHING.

"Then did you see if she went to a place?"

It never hurts to double check!

"I believe she is hiding under that cardboard box there."

[personal profile] windyflower 2016-05-04 06:21 pm (UTC)(link)
"Really?" She said before looking at said cardboard box.

"Then thank you! I wouldn't expect t ever see her in that box over there!"

"I suspect that was part of her plan."
