(open) celebrating everything it took to free us from the land of the broken and betrayed

[whatsupcroc]

Date & Time: February 12th - February 14th
Location: Throughout Exsilium
Characters: ANY & ALL
Summary: Separation Awareness Day is a festival and time of celebration for the hard won and retained freedoms of those who live on the island of Exsilium. Separate from the United Earth, they continue to exist, and thrive in their own way. As those identified as teenagers and children are showered with gifts of sweets, foods, and toys from the adult population, merchants are selling on the streets and color had invaded the often grey atmosphere. Feasting is practically a law, singing can be heard in the streets, and instruments that may stay safely indoors most the year are brought out to encourage dancing and such other frivolities as are rarely seen.

The night of the 14th there are fireworks shows throughout the city, with the most impressive display being launched from the remains of Buckingham Palace.

Warnings: Festivities!

Date your threads as you will, and feel free to use this as a Valentine's exploration as well for those more inclined to appreciate a holiday from home amidst the celebrations of a whole different sort of world!

[She's never really been able to feel like a normal fifteen year old girl, and she's glad for that; after all, she's not one. Still, being out here in the street, surrounded by people who love dancing and music as much as she does, she feels more comfortable and secure than she has since she arrived.

She reaches forward to take his other hand, guiding him into the motions gently.]

Like this!

[ He sighed. Kira didn't really have much of a choice now, does he? But ... what the heck. She seemed like a nice girl and seemed to be serious about wanting to teach him how to dance. ]

Errr ... right ...

[ Trying his best now to do what he says. If Athrun saw him now, he'd probably be laughing his head off. ]

[She continues trying to guide his movements, even though her own motions are far from flawless. Still, the smile doesn't leave her face.]

I'm not the best teacher in the world, but I think you might be getting the hang of this! [It's punctuated by a giggle.]

[ Her efforts made her very cute and he appreciated them. The only dance he could do was the waltz really ... and he learned because of Lacus. ]

I am ... [ He nods, then patting her on the head. ] ... thanks to you.
