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.

Careful. You're making the rest of us look bad.
[says the woman who is almost-but-not-quite sparkling as the sun peeks out from behind the clouds for a moment. Even amongst all the smoke and machines.]
no subject
[ Particularly any that might not be on the official tour.....for better or for worse. Haruka won't look away. ]
no subject
Humans to see? [She pressed a knuckle to her chin in thought.] There is a concert in a day or so, a famous Gigas musician. I found their music enjoyable, but this is a very... nonspiritual city, so leaders in such matters are not easily found.
no subject
Looks like they've got a few things to check out. On top of this list is Gigas' reliance on technology - even if
datesthe different in music piques her interest.]no subject
[ Haruka thinks. She'll have to do this her way, then: skulking in shadows and probing in places better left unprobed.
Such is her fate. ] I'll see if we're free.
[ She'll go to the concert if Michiru wants to. But they might be busy.
....and not even their usual sort of busy. ]
no subject
They're open but wary, rightfully so. Still, to concert should be interesting, I will probably be taking Rei for our one year anniversary.
no subject
Too bad, though. Assessing their tech and science would've been a plus.]
Has it been that long already? Time certainly flies.
[hint hint]
no subject
[ What is this sense of expectation? ]
no subject
[She's riddled with abandonment issues, so when she meets someone who mutually adores and loves her deeply, she has absolutely no intention of ever letting them go.]
Actually, I don't know if Rei's spoken to you about it, Michiru-san, but I was wondering when I might be able to borrow you to go try on wedding dresses after our visit here. I know Rei wishes to ask the same of you since we both value your opinion on the matter and would like someone who was there to observe both fittings so we aren't a mismatched couple.
no subject
This is the first I've heard of it, but I'd be happy to help.
[wouldn't a wedding be fun, Haruka?]
no subject
[ And what is this strange cold sweat that broke out on the back of her neck when she mentioned brides in the plural? ]
no subject
Thus, Michiru-san, my inquiry to your assistance, you have spectacular taste and you can make sure Rei and I do not look anything less than our best.
no subject
That shouldn't be too difficult, given who I'm working with. [let's just say she's highly interested in wedding stuff for some reason]
We can set up some times when we get back to Union.
no subject
Entertainment is better than trying to decipher that smile. ]

[ Trustworthy researchers aren't bad to get to know. Especially when they're cute. And rely on Michiru for fashion advice.
She's going to defeat that funny feeling on the back of her neck if it kills her. ]
