The revival of Tranquility on December 27th marks a vast - if temporary, and actually completely fake - change to the city. Upon awakening that morning, the inhabitants of Hadriel will find the city changed from its usual broken-down dour cave self into a sparkling, clean, delightful island city. Instead of being surrounded by hard stone walls, the city is surrounded by warm ocean waters and soft white sand beaches.
Gentle waves lap at the shore, the sky overhead is perfect, wide and open. The spires have been replaced by shining skyscrapers, the roads are clear of rubble and paved neatly. The stores are quaint, windows no longer broken, and the items inside have changed too. Instead of simple canned goods and strange clothing, you might find delicate pastries, cool drinks, fresh fruit, and flowy summer clothes to match the city. How nice! How calming, really. Didn't everyone need a vacation? So throw on some flip-flops, grab one of the mopeds that have been provided, and enjoy yourselves!
As the days go on, though, you might notice one or two odd things. Maybe the pretty sun hat you picked up looked, for just a moment, like a grubby old baseball cap instead. Maybe that beach ball is a little heavier than it should be. Maybe the shining wall of that skyscraper feels more like stone than glass. Maybe - just for an instant - the sky above was solid rock instead of the gentle, calming hues of the sunset.
While there is a mild compulsion toward calmness and tranquility, towards accepting the city for exactly what it seems to be, that can be ignored - and the illusion can be broken, if you choose to try. But do you really want to? Isn't that croissant much nicer than yet another can of beans? Wouldn't you rather relax at the beach than run around, trying to convince all your friends that this is just the gods getting inside their heads again in an even more creepy and all-encompassing way than usual?

Not Rey, that's for sure.
"Sure. Don't you?" She assumes that they had to have music where Maketh came from.
no subject
no subject
Sure, at a glance one would not peg Maketh to be the partying type.
"Guess that counts," she continues. "What type of dance?"
no subject
There was never enough time for that, though. Maketh sighs. "I like it best when there's a crowd. I can...disappear."
no subject
"Never done any formal dance before. Haven't gone to many formal occasions in general, though."
Try not to act so surprised.
no subject
it's different in Hadriel. Better in some ways. Harder in others. Maketh has learned to survive it.
"No? I don't imagine you would have enjoyed them much. There was always a great deal of posturing. But the dancing -- that was all right."
no subject
"Not so sure about that. Have been to a couple operas before. Liked it." She slides her hands into the pockets of her cargo pants and looks up at the colorful sky. "Even wore a dress and everything. Sometimes it's nice to pretend to be something you're not."
And a prim and proper lady/citizen of civilized society isn't it.
no subject
She understands about wanting to be something else for a little while. Sometimes she gets to pretend.
no subject
Before she can say anything, however, Maketh comments about the putative notion of Rey in a dress. She gapes.
"Oh, um. Thanks. Probably looked weird wearing one, but... yes, thanks."
no subject
It's hard not to tease just a little.
no subject
"Well, it wasn't like any of the ones they have here."
Definitely not the ones the shops have in stock right now, even.
no subject
no subject
"Am sure she has better things to do with her time. Anyone would have better things to do than that."
no subject
no subject
(Okay, it's not that dire.)
"Yes, well. Wouldn't have any use for it, anyway. Not like we have occasions that call for formal wear." As if you need an excuse, Rey...
no subject
It should be obvious who she's referring to.
no subject
"Wonder what it'd take to get some sort of theater up and running."
Why is she even considering this seriously?
no subject
no subject
"Unlikely, but guess acting talent is entirely optional. Wouldn't that be something to see?"
She isn't at all picturing this with a hint of amusement. Nope.
no subject
"Well," she admits, "it could be good for a laugh, I suppose."
no subject
Why are they even talking about this?
no subject
Somethng of their own invention might do well to lighten the mood, though.
no subject
Delight can stay. She brings booze.
