Event || The New Year

[melodiesmods]

Characters: Anyone!
Where: The Enterprise.
When: The Night from December 31st to January 1st.
Summary: A Ball aboard the Enterprise, for well-dressed (mostly) Heroes of Light and their friends who want to dance and (especially) eat for free.
Warning: Nothing.

While the passing from a year to another isn't as big of an event as the Starlight Celebration, it is no reason to pass up an ocasion to celebrate and have fun. There are fireworks in all major cities and various activities to enjoy. Noticeably, there are gatherings of people in Aqures Ixen and Trano Golsaucia in particular, if only to conclude what is one of the most celebrated week in the year, and wish to each other the best possible year to come-- Though most people are worried about what's to come soon. After all, the end might be nigh with the Calamity about to take over the planet...

To celebrate this, the Heroes of Light have all been invited to stay aboard the Enterprise for a particularly prestigious and animated Ball. Indeed, the Enterprise will from Aqures Ixen and go all the way to Mysidia at midnight-- This way, New Year is going to last even longer than normal thanks to the magic of timezones.

There are tables with foods for everyone to eat and of course, music for people to dance together if they so wish. There is also a consequent number of chairs lined up, for all those who refuse to dance or are too awkward to do so.

Gratitude could wait; Ace had never been the type to favor a small talk, especially now that he could feel more confident about discussing the matter at hand. As much as he suspected it being merely one among many factors that had contributed to his friend's reserved demeanor, it seemed like a sound start.

"To make a difference?" Though he gave Minato a studious look, it didn't include waiting for the other to answer before he continued. "As a collective, we should focus on ensuring we have all the means to win the battles ahead, and for that, Eidolons are the force that might just tip the scales in our favor. We don't know nearly enough about their allegiances to count on the Mysidian summoners in time of need, so it would be good to have someone with that level of knowledge on our side."

The cadet regarded his companion with a solemn look for a moment, if only to let his eyes fall shut and complete his response with a soft sigh. "The question is, are you really just lacking faith in your abilities, or fearing the responsibility that would fall upon you?"

Not that either of them should be a reason to stop, but he left that notion unspoken for now, catching himself sounding a bit too overbearing than he'd necessarily meant. The same realisation caused him to slip into a less formal tone, eventually. It wasn't as if he was capable of making any promises, so he found it befuddling to see the other boy be this disillusioned from the get-go.

"Good, because neither can I." As if to counterbalance Minato's gesture, he decided to follow with a firm nod. "That said, the offer still stands."
