SONIA
The blonde mercenary held her lover's head close to her bosom for a long moment before crouching to even their height. She then gave Adi a kiss before letting the girl rest her head on Sonia's shoulder, the sides of their heads gently together. "We'll make it through together, and I'm here when you need me. I love you, you're so kind, and I couldn't have asked for a better girlfriend. Don't ever hesitate to cry on my shoulder if you need to, or to talk to me when you're feeling sad. I can't protect you like I could before, but I can still be here for you and support you."
ZEKE
"Well I'm glad you like it miss Rihanna, one of my brews that took the longest to perfect, but the local ingredients were exactly what I needed. It's grown rather popular with the locals.", Zeke answered the equine woman before turning to the couple again. The spiky blonde nodded a bit at what the younger man said on his observation of the city and population, "It is, even I'm impressed some days, sure beats the crime active streets of Nepleslia if you ask me. Most law enforcement is handled by autonomous units which are used everywhere to help the civilians where needed. They haven't been as wide spread though with all the refugee immigration they've been getting here. Lot of volunteers for the military and other public services, lot more private run shops too now that I think about it. Osman wasn't exactly a pleasant place, and almost half the current population are from there, with most having less then fond memories. I still remember the day we left, the attack that happened as we did, and all the lives that were lost from it. It's why the memorial walls in the center of the park are for."
Zeke took a pause to pop open a can of cola as well, taking a deep sip to hydrate his throat before continuing, "And not just those who died then, but everyone after as well. There are no revives out here, so people are pitching in and doing their part to keep things safe and homie. Sadly, even I have a reason to stop by everyday and pay respects. I'm sure Jack mentioned the attack that happened months ago yes? I had a steady girlfriend who ran the fleet development department here,....she was murdered in the attack while I was unconscious in the hospital. I got attacked and put in critical, so I couldn't save her..." He finished a bit solemnly, taking a long drink again before gently setting the can down beside his seat before adding, "That's why I've stuck around, because I want to help prevent that happening to anyone else. These people need a break, and need to feel safe, they've more then enough fought to earn it. So I need to do my part and pitch in too, and knowing everything I've heard about you, I know you can understand and respect that."
ALICE
"You know, you don't look bad in a dress yourself, you look quite beautiful in one.", Alice said to her Elysian friend in a low voice that only they could hear, giving a small giggle as they approached the refreshment tent. She stopped as they rounded the corner of the tent near the drinks section, seeing the young man and the elysian girl with him. "Well my my, Alex, It's been far too long since I've seen the warden himself out and about. I knew the celebration for you, but I hadn't thought we'd encounter by chance here. I'm not sure if you remember me, but I'm Admiral Alice Casdan, I've been with the NDC since the days when S6 was founded. Pleasure to meet you again, and this must be Miss Araxie, greetings to you as well. This is my friend Sareash, an agent with the Internal Security Division.", the Geshrin introduced without expectation of actually being remembered. But it would be a pleasant surprise if he did recall her from the past.
ARMORA
Their shower would last a pleasant while before they were both ready and out to the car, dressed and ready. Armora wore a white tank top and tan cargo shorts, knee high socks and boots worn as well. She almost looked like she was ready to go hiking, but it was more in preparation of dragging her boyfriend around everywhere. In all honesty, the party seemed like a good break, and an excuse to spend time uninterrupted with him today, even if she was dragged out of bed for it early today.
STAGE
With setup complete, the bots left the stage as they ran a few system checks in preparation for the Lords' speech, and opening ceremony, as well as other possible acts planned later. There had been another booked for later in the day, but she had yet to arrive, and showed no sign of appearance yet. So was the life of traveling pop stars one would guess, but at the least, would they not send a message? To inform them they would be late, or cancelling their planned performance at the least?
NANNY GYNOID
"The time will come, but we can't risk a panic right now, especially so soon after such a devastating attack as the one months ago. People suddenly coming back to life never are received well if not tactfully planned in reveal before hand. Trust me, I hate hiding, but it must be done. Many things had to be done, some which you didn't agree with per say, but at least understood the necessity. There is still yet more to be done, and I need you by my side so I can have the strength to do them.", Sarah sent over Geist to Rose, slowly taking her wife's when no one was looking to give it a gentle loving squeeze. Crouching down, she went back to entertaining the children, calming the bruised daughter as she hummed a feint lullaby that only they could hear. Without stop or pause in the vocal tune, she transmitted one more thing to Rose, "You really should talk to Seraphina sometime, to thank her again for both of us, and maybe help console a grieving mother. Despite all she's done, and saving my life, she still lost things precious to her."
