Bendytimed to after Melting Clock

Teyr only had two holidays. Understandable, given the fact that it was only a few years old, and draconians themselves hadn't even been around for five decades yet. They were still working on making their place in the world.

Well, they had been.

Kang was doing his best to not dwell on that thought as he walked through a recreation of one of the city's holidays. It was the Day of Hope, the anniversary of the day when his regiment had found and hatched the first females during the Summer of Chaos. The streets were packed with draconians of every type (children were very rare, and none looked older than a human two-year-old), as well as a few humans and even a dwarf or two. There were booths set up with food, alcohol, and crafts, as well as music being played; as new as draconians were, they did have many things unique just to them, and some of the more thoughtful ones used the opportunity to celebrate that fact.

There were areas that were set up for displays of athletics and martial abilities, and even a handful of booths with carnival-like games. One, run by a baaz, involved trying to launch a stuffed minotaur doll into dragon-shaped cups floating in a tub of water with a miniature catapult. The reward was a free flagon of hard cider. A kapak was profiting off of something that looked remarkably similar to a modern rope ladder game, though it was steeper and didn't have any padding on the ground.

Outside the city walls, there were several teams of draconians constructing trebuchets, each with a pile of pumpkins. The Corps of Engineers had gotten drunk the year before and decided to see who could make one that'd launch a pumpkin the highest and farthest, and all agreed that they needed to make it a yearly tradition. One of the teams was comprised solely of sivaks, and a particularly tall one, at just a few inches shy of nine feet, shouted orders.

He smiled, indulging in the memory, and sent a quick message to Eva. He didn't care if others showed up and decided to join in the celebration, but he had specifically invited her, once before.

[OOC: When I say rare, I mean like only about 100-110 children compared to at least 5,000 adults, and it's impossible to tell the sexes apart by sight unless you know what to look for. There's only 20 adult females anyways. Only sivaks can fly, and they don't really do much of that; auraks (gold scales) don't even have wings. They're also the most rare kind. Draconian heights range from 5' (baaz) to about 9' (sivaks), and the average height is about 7'.

This is a completely medieval setting, so if you're not sure about something, feel free to ask me. Also, if you are an attractive woman, you are going to get a few leers, and possibly comments from some of the draconians. Sorry, ladies. Anybody of a race that is not human, elven or dwarven is going to get some curious looks, too.

Infodump out of the way, it's open!]

Cowabunga had entered the sensoriums with Humar, not looking for anything in particular, and almost immediately recognized the location as Teyr. His initial thought ha dbeen to go find Kang, but then he saw the trebuchet parts.

"Humar, I think I know what we're going to do today" he said, walking over.

"Hey! Where do I sign up?!"

"I'm Cowabunga." He replied, grasping the hand. "And I'm just looking to join one."

What were cooler than Draconians? What were cooler than games? Entering the sensoriums and seeing them both. He easily recognized the beings thanks to Kang, so needed no moment to pause and get used to so many of them moving about. He made way to see where those flying pumpkins were coming from.

He decided to let his presence be known, letting out a whistle. "Nice one!"

It always makes Eva a little sad to see people conjured up in the Sensoriums. It just reminds her now of how isolated Kang is on Stacy, without any of his own kind except for what he and Stacy can piece together from memories.

But it's hard to feel too melancholy when everyone, even the imaginary people, are having such an enthusiastic and comprehensive party. She pays for some hard cider at one of the booths and joins Kang, grinning. "I haven't seen this large a party since...well, since ever, actually."

"Clearly." She hugs back. "He's well enough. I hoped...well, nevermind. He's healthy, he's not about to deage out of existence."

"We're lucky we didn't lose anyone. The mission team came through for us just in time." She takes a sip of her hard cider, shivering at the taste. It's stronger than most of what she's used to at home. "So, care to give me a tour?"

"I would have gone myself had I not, you know, had a kid to take care of. And a few new grey hairs because of him, see?" She pats the part in her hair.

"You all did well. I know I don't need to tell you," since he's a parent too, "but I can't thank you enough."

"You like alliteration for your taverns, don't you? And don't worry, you've seen in action how well I handle my liquor," she says with a self-deprecating grin.

"They're there. I can feel them growing out of my scalp like little spider legs. They're thicker and wirier." She smiles, reaching and patting Kang's hand gently. "What, I can't thank you for a job well done? Even if it's your job, it was an important one for me."

She follows, staring with great interest at each of the businesses. "Agriculture must be either inside or outside the ring, mustn't it?"

Ninjas and carnival games were a match made in heaven. Nobody knew how to beat the common tricks or kick ass at games of chance and shows of strength quite like someone who had been trained for all three since he could crawl.

Doc had found himself a comfortable spot to lounge with a delicious drink and a pile of game-prizes, though he spared some time from his pressing relaxation schedule to wave when he saw Kang.

"Hey there! This is your construction, huh? Very nice!"

aaaah I have to sleep but I will tag you some more tomorrow ohyes

"Couple weeks ago. Been up to my neck catching up on medical records and recovering from my visit with GLaDOS."

He smiled, folding his hands behind his head. "How have you been keeping? How's the hand?"

"My first word? Was fulcrum. I know what I'm doing."

"Yes, and you have to be polite to me. It's part of the friendship code," she teases. "Oh? Then what do you feed the livestock, if not harvested agriculture?"
