District Five, District Fun!

[rekindlemods]

Who: EVERYONE!
Where: Newly opened District 5.
When: February 1st
Summary: A new district up and running, a new opportunity for shenanigans!
Warnings: Inbox death may occur. System overload at own risk.

A change comes in the evening, as the barricades in the fourth and third districts are carefully disassembled and put aside. What's more, a quick broadcast goes up across the network:

'The Fifth District has been opened; all are welcome to explore, this time.'

And sure enough, everyone can easily come and go this time around; there's no doctors or equipment on hand. And by the time the sun goes down and the passages are fully open, the new district is lighting up. And the glow from the lights is bright enough to chase some of the chill out of the night and leave the neighborhood open for exploration.

There's plenty of buildings, mostly catering towards entertainment of some sort (and even a few movie theaters, and a hot springs and zoo closer to the fourth district) but the real hub is along the river. That's where the boardwalk can be found. It stretches from the city wall to the border of the fourth district, and is lined with shops, features an aquarium, and at the southern most end contains an amusement park. Complete with a ferris wheel that is well lit up and shining bright against the sky as the sun sets.

Welcome to the fifth district.

How did they do that? How?

[The excited squeak comes from the little boy behind Crystal who is practically plastered against the glass wall of the tunnel.]

What is that? What is it? It's so cute!

[Welp, someone is probably going to be here for the rest of the day getting handprints and fingerprints and probably nose prints too all over the glass unless someone stops him.]

[WHOOPS gentle tugging, she's going to coax him off of the glass. It's bad manners to get smudges all over new exhibits, even if they'll probably get cleaned up...]

It is pretty cute, isn't it? [It's exciting too!! She knows just how he feels.] As for how they do it... hmm. I guess it's like a giant tank, except with a space around the bottom so people can walk through. That sounds about right, right?

[smallspot]

A giant tank? But how do they make something so big?

[Diarmuid pulls against her a little bit since he doesn't really want to move away from the glass, but he doesn't fight too hard. He's just as excited to talk about the new cool tunnel as he is to look at it.]

Do you know what all these animals are? Are they like your Pokemon friends?

[capturespecialist]

[So many questions, so little time! She's not sure how they do it - she's no architect - so she clears her throat and moves onto the topic she does have some familiarity with.]

I don't, and I'm not sure. I might ask the handlers about them when I get the time, but until then I'm just going to have to assume they're like the animals that are around the city. Except more, uh... [Cue a sharktopus swimming overhead.] ...Varied in appearance?

[Diarmuid is so distracted by the sharktopus swimming overhead that he doesn't say anything for several moments. Instead, he just stares at it in wide-eyed wonder. Finally, he seems to realize that Crystal has answered his question and starts, turning to her with an apologetic look.]

I'm sorry! Some of these creatures are so weird! Just like something out of a fairy realm. Of course, your Pokemon are like that too. Only they are your friends instead of wanting to hurt your or do mean things to you. A lot of the creatures in fairy realms aren't nice at all!
