Operation Reignition

[rekindlemods]

Who: Anyone who wants to participate in the event!
Where: Assorted places in and around District 3!
When: Sunday afternoon (the 30th)
Summary: POWER IT UP AND GO SHOPPING.
Warnings: None.

By late morning, it's obvious that there's something going on down by the bridges to District 3. Even if you missed the announcement on the network, it's pretty obvious that something is going to happen; townspeople mill about with interest as people set up tables. Irene and Mai are roaming the area, Mai mostly sticking to the medical teams standing by while Irene organizes the rest of the group. Keener eyes might spy one of the brothers responsible for the network, slipping off into the Third District through gates that stand open, but still guarded against any visitors who might attempt to approach before things are ready to go.

Off to one side, there's a shaded area, tents and a few chairs where visitors can wait to be allowed entry. There's a table full of water bottles and light snacks tucked up against the wall, to fortify you against the heat of the afternoon - and it is warm, and only going to get warmer. The natives seem to have accepted the baking sun as the normal way of things, but be careful that you don't get heatstroke.

At about half an hour past noon, someone brings out a little podium and sets it in front of the gate. Irene climbs up on it, holding a microphone in front of her mouth - her voice echoes from a number of speakers set up through the area.

"Alright, could I have my first group of volunteers over here, please? We've got your instructions ready for you to enter the district."

Looks like it's showtime. Are you ready?

((ooh; Event start! OOC information can be found here and here.))

It might help, yes!

"Half-demon?" At least Sissel didn't have enough context to take that as an insult. He was mostly just confused by the comparison. "Do demons often look like cats?"

[drank_the_milk]

It's not a bad thing at all. She's friends with a demon kid back home - he's actually dating one of her friends!

"I know a dog demon back home. He's got animal ears too, except his are more like a wolf's."

[interconnect]

"Dog demon?" Yeah, that didn't make so much sense to Sissel. He knew a dog back home, but that dog was a pomeranian... How could dogs be demons, too?

[drank_the_milk]

"Yeah... don't worry about it too much, though."

Yuna smiles reassuringly, ruffling Sissel's hair a little.

"I knew all kinds of weird people at home."

[interconnect]

Sissel shook his head at the hair ruffling, getting it back into some semblance of order. It was basically a catlike motion, except without the whole-body shiver to go with it.

"There's a lot I don't know, I'll admit... Still, I doubt they were all that weird. Not the bad kind of weird, anyway."

Like that other country and their off use of technology. That was just odd.

[drank_the_milk]

"Oh no, a lot of them were really good friends of mine!"

Yuna laughs, waving off the thought that any of the people she's thinking of could be the bad kind of weird.

"How many friends do you have?" asked Sissel. She sure was making it sound like a lot, but for someone whose entire circle of people numbered at about seven or eight... It was just hard to imagine having many more than that all in your life at once.

[drank_the_milk]

"Well, there were 31 girls in my class, including me... I was only really close with maybe three or four of them, but we all kinda hung out together."

Ah, memories. That was almost three years ago at this point for her, though.

Sissel had a hard time getting that many people in the same room in his mind, let alone trying to imagine knowing all of them at once. Everyone's arrival to Saeng Seong was literally the most people Sissel had ever seen in his entire life, and all in one place. It hadn't really phased him at the time since he had his own body-troubles to worry about... but thinking back on it, there sure were a lot of people in the world, all with their own stories to follow.

"That's a lot," he commented candidly. "In your class... so at school?"

[drank_the_milk]

"Yeah, back at Mahora Academy. And that was just my class! The campus is huge, with grades all the way from elementary up through an associated college campus."

A college she'll never get to attend, but let's not think about that part right now.

[interconnect]

"What does that mean?" asked Sissel. He had no reason to hide or obfuscate that he had no idea about some human things — it was harder when he couldn't remember anything. It just made it seem like he had forgotten even some of the most basic stuff.

Yuna laughs, scratching at her neck.

"It just means it's a really big school with lots of students of all ages."
