The Chiaki Compound in Funky City was all aglow a certain Saturday night of Nepleslia's cold season. Lights in the shape of grenades lined the edges of the massive building, and a decent size crowd was making it's way inside. There were different types, big and small, from Elsyians to Abwehrans, Iromakuanhe to Azoreans, even a few Nekos could make the momentous occasion, just to get the hell out of the -18F temperatures. It was that time of year again, only this time, with a certain twist. It was Lewis Pasco Day.
Inside, was a warm, humongous show room, made specifically for the hosting occasions such as this. There were banners cascading from the ceiling in a variety of languages, all saying three different things.
Happy Lewis Pasco Day!
Only weapons, and guns of all kinds are allowed, stay in the spirit of things.
No fighting, violators will be shot. By everyone.
At the front of the room stood Kokuten Gaiasis Chiaki the Fifth in the standard issue Nepleslian Marine uniform. Around his neck, hung a seasonal Pasco Day grenade. In fact, he was so in the spirit, that his usual bright green eyes were dimmed to an AIR2 FMD Green. He grinned to the crowd as he held a microphone at his chin. A spotlight cut on to him, and the crowd came to a hush.
"Welcome, everyone! To the AwesomeCorp sponsored Lewis Pasco Day For Everyone, Even Yamatai." the doctor nodded his head to the mostly Yamataian/Neko crowd. "First, I'd like to thank my parents for allowing us the use of their home for this occasion."
The spotlight veered off the table where the sponsors sat. It showed Triana Chiaki and Kokuten Chiaki the 4th, sitting next to eachother; smiling nervously, they waved to the crowd. The spotlight then shot back over to Kokuten the 5th.
"Aren't they great? But hey, how could we afford the booze and food for this many people? Why, the very generous sponsorship of AwesomeCorp, of course!" announced Kokuten through the mic, throwing his hand toward the direction of the sponsor table again. The spotlight quickly followed over, past the Chiaki's and onto Eulalie and Phil Nates, owners of AwesomeCorp. Unfortunately, they were unable to wave, as they were already passed out drunk over the table and on top of eachother. Several empty bottles of liquor sat around their smiling, alcohol-induced sleeping heads. The spotlight went back to Kokuten the 5th, who was still staring at the passed out pair.
"Uhm..." went the rather speechless Kokuten, before, "Well... looks like the Nates got their share! Anyway, let's cut down to the chase. You all know the rules and traditions of Pasco Day, they're all around and hanging from the ceiling. So I'll start out the first gift today, and then we can find our friends and trade amongst ourselves."
He went of stage for about half a minute, before returning with a rivet gun in hand. "My first gift, goes to a good friend I made within the past year. Tweak, if you're in the crowd, this one's for you!" Then, he waved his hand, "Alright guys! Let's trade some guns!"
