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!

"I didn't really want to come, but I kind of like that extra money." After defecting from the Academy, he didn't exactly live to the grand standards he grew up in. Not that it particularly bothered him most of the time, but there was something to be said about luxury comforts in place of struggling to make ends meet.

There's definitely a... certain look to Klaus at the moment. Being here in the middle of everything he's trying to avoid can't be easy, and it makes it very simple to recognize when you know what to look for. "You know that's what people do at parties." Him, better than just about anyone, really. Because it wasn't such a long time ago that Klaus made the party wherever he went.

“Yeah, me too, which is why I figured if I did whatever event was next then it's done and out of the way.” Dressing up and socializing has been great, he's really enjoying himself, but being surrounded by constant temptation is becoming harder and harder by the minute.

At least Klaus reels himself in somewhat, lifts both hands, rubs his thumbs underneath his eyes to clear some of the splotched makeup with a laugh. “Of course I do! I used to be right there with them.” He huffs an exasperated sigh that's lacking any real heat, “Doesn't mean I'm not gonna bitch,” then he faintly smiles. Seriously, Diego, can you blame him?

"I seriously regret the photo op thing." Just reminds him entirely too much of their Academy days. A time when he liked this kind of attention, being known, recognized, noticed by someone, anyone at all in the entire world in ways they could never be by their own father. Diego doesn't miss the desperate-for-attention kid he used to be at all.

Not really. Not when he's actually seeing the effort being made. This isn't the Klaus that OD'd last year, that's for sure. "You're doing pretty good so far, though." Why, yes, that is an actual compliment you're hearing. Even Diego can acknowledge the willpower this whole party is taking Number Four to make his way through.

“Really? That was one of the less obnoxious things.” He'll take a hundred photo ops over listening to people talk or asking him a million personal questions. At least this way, being adults, they don't have to hang around and answer everyone; they can get up and leave whenever they want. Klaus might've missed the attention a little, but honestly, he's just about in the same boat.

Definitely not. This Klaus hasn't overdosed since he left rehab the last time, which was when they'd all ended up meeting again back at the Academy. “Think so?” he asks softly, curiously, the edges of his lips quirking. “Kinda helps that I was clean a few days before coming here.”
