Sanctuary RPG Main Comm

It’s the Summer Solstice here on Sanctuary and, according to the ancient tradition of the host planet's natives, there will be a two week festival!

If you spend time on the open air areas of the station you'll have noticed the days getting longer and longer. The festival itself culminates in a full day where the sun does not set at all.

The station becomes incredibly busy at this time, and far more aliens and natives will be seen walking the halls. Ships, both aquatic and space faring, will be coming and going, offering up trade opportunities for business inclined individuals. Of course, with the increase in traffic, the criminal element will take advantage, pickpockets working crowds and shady dealers offering wares and services for sale. In response more security and station staff will be visible, available for anyone with an issue.

The main area for congregating is the giant central area on the very top level that’s open to the sky. During the daylight hours all the public space will be festooned with decorations, and entertainment like concerts, dancing, circuses, and plays will be located around the massive space. In the centre, around the central tower, food sellers who've arrived from all over the sector will be participating in the competitions the station controllers have begun organising, with flamboyant demonstrations becoming shows in and of themselves. Traders will set up stalls and station staff will be mingling with residents, as well as the multitude of visitors.

During the evenings when the sun does set, there will be a party atmosphere with everyone enjoying the warm nights. Bars will set up and start selling drinks, and dancers from the clubs inside the station come to perform and promote their businesses.

And there you have it! Sanctuary Station invites one and all to come out and visit the Summer Solstice Festival! There's sure to be something for everyone to enjoy!

OOC: Bring all your pups out for some fun! Feel free to use this as the main gathering, but by all means post adventures in and around the festival either here, in the main comm, or in your own pups' journals. Enjoy!
