[ open ] Valparaíso, Jewel of the Pacific
Characters: OPEN to all!
Location: The city of Valparaíso, Chile.
Date/Time: The first weekend of March (1st & 2nd).
Summary: The first group of Cadets are finally released on the city of Valparaíso. With a curious city wanting to meet them, both Cadets and Staff of the Shatterdome itself will find plenty of people willing and curious to hear what it is they're up to - not to mention complain about the unapologetic ugliness of the Shatterdome.
Additional Notes: Cadets are expected to be in uniform and represent the PPDC at it's best. For more information and any questions, please refer to this post in the OOC community.
Valparaíso is a city with an old reputation, struck hard by the Panama Canal back at its completion, and struggling and rising to a place of cultural prominence since. Nowadays it remains an important sea port along the Chilean coast, though not as busy as San Antonio, and has helped foster artistic communities and a wealth of Chilean culture well worth recognition and appreciation on its own.
For such a beautiful city, the Shatterdome is both an honor and an eyesore. The Cadets from the new program are a subject of gossip and fascination, novelty selling them in the short term in ways that weren't sustainable over time.
For those who hadn't been able to spend time outside looking over the city, Valparaíso provided all kinds of sights and hidden gems, from murals on stairs to a hundred plus year old tram that runs the hillsides, museums paying homage to the 16th Century roots of the city, to statues and architectural structures and beaches galore. Free from the industrial efficiency of the Shatterdome for a short time, where will the Cadets and Staff find themselves today? The possibilities might not be endless in actuality, but they were a far cry more varied than the last two weeks had been!

"Seems simple enough." How hard could it be? If she could handle a whip, she could handle a wooden bell on a stick. She swings the string upwards and takes one step to catch it, only to have the bell hit her on the arm... hard. That's going to bruise. She winces, biting her lip to hold back the tears that were foolishly trying to fall.
"Foolish--" she stops herself before she sets a horrible example in front of the children. Taking a deep breath, she tries again. She barely avoids getting hit on the face this time.

"I thought for sure you'd get it on the first try! I mean, you're pretty good with things like this." It's an attempt to cheer her on, even if it might fail, and one of the boys around fifteen cracks a joke that makes the others laugh. Hilbert doesn't know what they said exactly - something about the cadets' training, for sure - but it didn't sound very nice. Almost like a taunt or tease.
... Maybe he'd take one back to the Shatterdome to practice with.

She lets out an annoyed huff, and starts mumbling something about fools and paycuts before trying again. And she succeeds in it. It's probably just a fluke but she does it!
"Haha! Take that, foolish urchins!" She completes that gloat by pointing at the children. "I succeeded in your foolishly simple game geared for fools! Hahaha! Hahahahaha!"
... And in case it was just a fluke, she's going to take one back to the Shatterdome to sooth her aching pride.
no subject
Hilbert grins sheepishly at the kids - there it is folks - and claps. Even if they're a little put off by Franziska's show of force. Verbal force. Foolish kids.
"Guess that makes me the biggest fool out of anyone! I don't think I could get it in a million years." Oh, well. He'll get it. Someday. Franziska and him can work on it together! Hilbert points at the toy, and hesitatingly tries some Spanish. Pretty slow speaking because he's unsure. "Ah... ¿Tengo el emboque? Quiero jugar en casa. Oh, man, I don't think half of that is right..."
Half of it isn't right. The first half. They laugh at his misspeaking and nod. They'll need them if this is the best they've got.
