WHO: ImPorts in Venezuela
WHERE: Mérida, Venezuela
WHEN: October 15th 2012 - October 18th 2012
WARNINGS: Strong language is likely. Potential violence.
SUMMARY: President Pisani throws a festival for imPorts one and all! While this is a catchall log for the first four days and set wholly in Merida, you are not limited to those parameters. If you want to pursue your own logs too, feel free!
FORMAT: Whatever you'd like.


It was a beautiful city, green and lush. Morning mist locked fingers with older stone and quiet brick. Much of the populace lulled in the valley between two solid growths of mountains, cushioned in an ancient palm and electrified by the lively pulse of the crisp, rain-courted air. The temperature is brisk, chilly, but that shouldn't discourage you from enjoying the lakes and rivers breathing through the land. The city itself is equally crisp and its usually pristine avenues are ablaze with color; banners and posters and warm hellos. There was warmth everywhere, in homes and faces and hands.

Welcome to Mérida, Hero.

Well I didn't. So visiting beaches all over the world has been one thing on my list for years now.

If you’ve seen one beach you’ve seen ‘em all. [ She’s getting him at the wrong time for this. Back when he had both hands, he’d have loved hanging on a beach. These days he doesn’t want to go anywhere that would put his body on show. People would look at him and see what isn’t there. He can’t bear that. ] Give me a carnival like this any day. Or a masquerade. Speaking of which, you’re going to it, right?

[wisecracked]

Yeah well, what if you've never even seen one? [Kenzi isn't even thinking about that. Not because she's completely thoughtless but because she's only known him like he is now. To her it's become natural and she tends to be the type to just take most things as they are and not be bothered by it.]

Carnivals are great though. [She nods and gives a snort in response to his question.] Of course. I wouldn't miss an excuse to dress up.

[hellionated]

So, see one. But they're not like this. All anyone does is lie around in the sun, it's boring. Not like this.

[wisecracked]

Hey, soaking up the sun is a great way to spend a lazy day. Y'know, until the sunburn kicks in.

[hellionated]

Tch. It gets old.

[wisecracked]

Okay, it's one great way to spend a lazy day. [She could think of plenty of other greats ways to spend a lazy day.]

[hellionated]

Better. Anyway, the view's better from the top of the mountains. The beach has nothing on that.

[wisecracked]

Never been up in the mountains either so I can't really make an argument.
