WHO: OTA
WHAT: Eglaf Annual Earth Day Extravaganza
WHEN: Friday, April 17, 2020 - Sunday, April 19, 2020
WHERE: All over Historical Downtown Eglaf
WARNINGS: The whole premise of Friday's event is dub-con, so...you know. There's that. If you feel your thread should have content warnings on it, please say so in the soonest possible comment subject line.

Don't it always seem to go that you don't know what you've got til it's gone?


Every year, the weekend before Earth Day, the city of Egalf has a three-day festival to celebrate centered largely in Historical Downtown. Eglaf was one of the first cities in Florida to pass Go Green laws and they're proud of their attempts as a city to reduce their carbon footprint. Each year, the line-up of events is about the same.

Friday night is a fundraising theme costume party, usually attended by any and all, featuring local celebrities and registered Displaced Supers along with raffles, meet and greets, autograph sessions, photo ops with Displaced Supers, local vendors, and more, located in Downtown Pride Hotel's ballrooms. This year's theme is "Getting In Touch with Nature." Party-goers will be turned away at the door if they're not in costume. No exceptions. Tickets can be purchased all week at the hotel or at the door. General admittance is $10 and admittance with dinner reservations is $25 per person. Group discounts are available; please call the front desk at Downtown Pride Hotel for details.

NOTE:This event is where things might get a little hinky this year. The portal being reawakened in January has been causing little issues around town, but the government mostly has this on lockdown. Unfortunately, it would appear that something new has made its way through. Earlier in the week, a small group of playful and mischievous fairies slipped through the portal. Learning of the Earth Day celebration and wanting very much to carry on its message, on Friday morning, locals and Supers alike might notice a sort of shimmer in the air. Spoiler alert: it's their version of fairy dust. Exposure to said fairy dust will have residents of Eglaf under the fairies' spell. They'll feel compelled to reduce, reuse, recycle, and be at the Earth Day fundraiser with bells on.

When the clock strikes eleven, though, that's when they'll decide to have a little more fun. Anyone still in their costume and within a five-mile radius of the hotel will believe themselves to actually be their costume or, in some cases, they will become their costume. So, if someone comes to the party dressed as a tree, they should be prepared to stand very still and be very silent while swaying in the wind for the hour during which the spell will take hold. This spell will last anywhere from 1 to 24 hours.


Saturday, there will be a parade featuring giant balloons, floats built by local businesses, and Displaced Super appearances. The parade will begin at 10:00 am and will follow the usual path down all of Main Street from Historical Downtown up to the upper east side before returning back to Historical Downtown. Typically, this parade runs two to three hours in its entirety. Then, Saturday evening will kick off the Earth Day Film Festival, where locals and Displaced Supers alike are invited to the Downtown Green, weather permitting (or the Oakdale Theater, if not) where the stage will be hidden behind a giant screen onto which Eglaf Community College short films will start things off at 7:00 pm and, by 9:00 pm, everything from nature documentaries to summer blockbuster films will be played back to back until the last movie is scheduled to end around 11:30 pm on Sunday night.

All concessions purchased at official events this weekend will go toward furthering technological advances toward making Eglaf run on clean energy.

Come one, come all! Have a great time!

The more she talks, the more uncomfortable with this situation Five is becoming. Not because she's saying or doing anything to make him feel that way but just that her reality and his are so incredibly different, clearly, and he can't parse why she's talking to him like he's an adult while completely unfazed by the fact that he's very much a teenager.

As she lowers herself into a chair, his eyebrows lift even higher. Because if it's not enough that some random girl not only seems convinced that they're close enough to live together, she also appears genuinely hurt by the fact that he doesn't recognize her — which either means she's completely delusional or something's just not right about the situation and he's the one that's confusing things, here. He's been around a lot of teenage girls in passing, but he's never talked to one to whom he wasn't legally related, let alone gotten to know one well enough to hurt her feelings. It feels bad, actually...

"I don't think I'm any age. I know that I'm thirteen," he replies, his tone incredulous and defensive to match his expression, but also edging gently in an effort not to upset the girl even more. "How old do you think I am...?" he asks, trying to ignore the headache he can already feel starting to creep into place in the wake of what is turning out to be a very, very long and stressful day for Number Five.

"Not normally you're not." Prim explains, and even through the escalating hurt, she manages to keep her voice gentle ass she watches him. If everything that she's hearing is accurate....this is thirteen year old Five - this is what he was like, how he spoke, what he was like at her age. And it's genuinely a jolt to Prim's system. She doesn't know how to speak to him differently, or what to think of him at this age because she's only ever interacted with the old man trapped in a boy's body. "Five, you're nonrmally fifty-eight and trapped in a body younger than you look." It's...blunt, and Prim wishes there were a better way to sugar coat it for him, or a way that it didn't sound insane, but she can't think of one, honestly.

There isn't a good way to explain this situation to him, but Prim really wants to try.

"You've been here for months, and you didn't fully explain why you're trapped in a younger body, but I know you (the older you) pretty well now, after living together. I'm not sure what's going on, but something is going on." Prim says earnestly, her hands in her lap to keep from even trying to touch him, even if it would be natural for her, as a person, to at least try at this point.

His brow creases in the center of his forehead and eyes narrow slightly as he tries to process that news. It means that his father was right and that infuriates Number Five. Which, obviously, isn't the girl's fault, so he's careful not to take it out on her no matter how much a part of him wants to just because she's there. He can't help noticing how carefully she's speaking to him, even if the words are delivered in probably exactly the way he'd want them to be: blunt and to the point, no sugarcoating; no bullshit.

"Shit..." he says, frowning. "So, wait, why are you hanging out with an old dude, again?" he asks suddenly, realizing that she'd come over here to talk to who she thought was a much, much older man. Doesn't she have any friends? He'd like to have friends if they were allowed more than thirty minutes of frivolity. If he could, he'd make plenty. It's kind of bullshit if she can and isn't. "Because we live together? Why the hell do you live with somebody old enough to be your grandpa...? Why would you want to?"

He can't imagine he's very pleasant to be around. Half the time, he doesn't think he's very pleasant to be around now, never mind when he's his father's age.
