This log is: Open party log!
Location: Battle Arena
Summary: On Saturday afternoon after the train arrives there is a festival and a presentation of the tournament winners!
Warnings:

Saturday was sunny if a little cold but once again the battle arena was bursting with people. Unlike in the week though everyone was out on the arena field itself, stalls had been set up for games or silly competitions. More tents and stalls sold foods, some which might be familiar to those living in the schools and some that would not be.

At one end there was a stage set up where the six staff members sat, people mingled, ate and discussed the tournament until Dunleavy finally stood to address the crowd.

"I hope that everyone enjoyed the tournament. Today is to celebrate and to reward the winners. Everyone did very well, so please show your appreciation to all those that participated Players and Weapons both."

The townspeople cheered and clapped waving flags of the two schools. "All our winners are from Conquest so congratulations to Conquest for the victory." More cheering; on the stage Day looked smug but proud as well, proud of her students.

Once all the prizes had been given out the stage cleared and a small band entered. Dunleavy wished goodbye to the other staff members before retreating to her mansion. It was unfair to Dolorosa and Recette to expect them to watch her when they should be having fun and it really wasn't a celebration without music.

"Why not? Girls are really good at fighting. My best friend is one of the scariest fighters I know, and she only uses knitting needles."

You tread on dangerous ground, Arthur.

[unflinchable]

He can imagine Morgana fighting with knitting needles and being very scary about it. Arthur holds his hands up defensively, it's not every day a female talks to him like that. That may be one of the things he misses about Morgana, she would always stand up to him even if it goes against protocol.

"I believe that, my" he pauses, not sure what to call Morgana, and frowns, "A girl from my past was skilled with a sword, and remained as such even without proper training. I do not know where you are from, but where I am from it is not customary for females to fight. I did not mean to offend your honor, forgive me."

"At home, ladies fight in wars all the time. Two of the four people still alive are girls. They're cool."

She smiles at him, the slight obviously forgiven. "It's okay. I know worlds are really different."

[unflinchable]

Arthur takes a small step back, "There are only four people left alive where you're from? That's horrible! What happened?" he pauses for a second, "Forgive me, I'm sure it was difficult, you do not need to speak if it will cause you distress."

[greenspaces]

"The world ended, it's not a big deal. I knew it was going to happen a long time before it did." She doesn't seem bothered by at at all; no remorse or regret on her face.

[unflinchable]

He frowns, "Your world ended and you are okay with that?"

[greenspaces]

"I only knew my best friends and my dog. Grandpa was dead."

[unflinchable]

"That seems very lonely," he says softly, "it must overwhelming to be in such a populated place."

[greenspaces]

"A little. But I've been here for two months, so I'm used to it now." She smiles. "You must be kind of confused, too!"

[unflinchable]

He laughs a bit, "If I am to be honest, I am more than a bit confused."

[greenspaces]

"Sorry. If you ask questions, I can explain?"

[unflinchable]

"I don't know anything about your technology."

[greenspaces]

"I could tell you about it. I don't think it's a bad thing, to not know."

[unflinchable]

"If you would like."
