[ 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!

With everything set aside, she's honestly got her hands free to do whatever she wants. The sandwich is balanced precariously, sure, but it's fine. The compliments are almost too much, and they're a little overwhelming when she's been alone for so long.

"You've always been too kind."

Leaning in closer, nearly knocking her hat off, she drops her voice.

"I might have missed you, too. I've never met anyone else who mattered."

After a little shoving of his sandwich he gets a hand free and he reaches over to take her hand now. He's trying to show his appreciation for her since they were apart for so long, he's never been alone in that time but he's never had anyone like her around him that's for sure.

"No, I don't think I have."

But then he's reaching up to gently try and push her hat up, away from her face so as to see her eyes better. He gulps as well before replying.

"That's saying a lot coming from you."

It's remarkable how appreciated she feels even with such small gestures. She's touched, infinitely pleased that they're here together. Maybe it'll last a while, this reunion. There's a tinge of hope in her voice.

"I try to be honest with you. You know that."

She reaches up to touch his cheek now, and leans in to press a soft, experimental kiss to his lips.
