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

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!

[There's a pause for a moment, and then a smile, melancholy.]

He sounds like a good person, to let you do something like that. And hey, I bet we'll see some of that sort while we're up here!

Nick? He's a total dork. But I guess he's good for watching firewords.... And I bet we will!

You didn't answer.
motioned: (steady as the beating drum)

[She giggles.]

Just watching fireworks, huh?

Oh, that's just because it really was nothing. Thanks for making sure, though!

If you say so....

Have you ever seen any fireworks before?
motioned: (you want thingamabobs? i've got twenty!)

Yeah, I have. I think the last time was a few months ago, for New Years.

They were beautiful. That entire night was perfect. I mean, holidays are pretty great, right? Especially ones with big parties!

Yeah, and what bigger party than New Year's Eve? The start of a new year!
