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.

Each image gets more than a cursory glance, lingered over as different portraits are admired. She does stall longer once they hit the images of destruction, having been there at ground zero. To watch a tower fall when you are near its base is no small thing to remember. But move on she does, small smiles slipping in now and then as Union's people pull themselves back together, and accept the helping hand of their allies.
This shows why Union and its Alliance work. ]
I can tell. You made some very good choices here, you've a very good eye for capturing the feel of a scene.
[that smile is turned on Hayato] It's little wonder you're so interested in the chance to take colour photographs.
no subject
[His own smile is bright.]
Thank you. It's always good to know my intentions are hitting home.
[he grins wider and looks up.]
There's a few reasons! But I think, one of the biggest ones, what pushed me to really look into it, was the last Day of Fire.
[Pause.]
It's a Calderan holiday. Have you ever been?
no subject
No, actually. Aside from passing through their borders on the way here, I've never been to Caldera.
[ That she is aware of, anyway. Amnesia's one hell of a thing. ]
no subject
Oh! You should definitely come to the next Day of Fire then. [He grins. Talking about Caldera always puts a certain light in his eyes. You know aside from the fact that they were already bright red.]
It's to celebrate the summer solstice. It's roughly a two day affair. It starts on the day of the 20th where we hold the throwing of the colors and then carries into an all night festival where the city sets up stalls of food and everyone shows off what they've been working hard on for the year. there's competitions, dancing, lots to drink. It's a time to relax and let loose.
[he looks at his camera and looks up.]
Black and white doesn't do the holiday any justice. The throwing of the colors is a city wide battle where you throw colored powder at anyone and everyone. It paints the city into something beautiful and I'd really want to capture to true spirit of it all.
no subject
Her interest is evident as he talks, explaining the festival. Though she does squint a moment. ]
Throwing of the colours?
That..That would be beautiful. And very appealing to everyone. [If there's colours involved, and extensively as he says, that does explain his excitement for an upgrade to his camera. Such pictures would truly be amazing!] You could even make a study of holidays across the known world, you know. Starting with the fire festival, and expanding to other cities.
..Is it as hot in Caldera as it is here?
