The Avalon World Fair - Event
DIR By: Mobius
Date: May 22, 2017, 2:53 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
As the sun begins to set behind the city skyline, the workers at
the Avalon Golden Square center make their final preparations
for the imminent World Fair. A civic center holding the
country's greatest museums, art galleries, and monuments, the
center now has strings of lights hanging from streetlamps and
flags from every country dotting the center plaza. Meanwhile, in
the various expositions around the square, artisans and
scientists from every corner of the globe prepare to display
their artifacts and inventions to the world. The capital has
truly become a city of lights, and in the distance, the newly
constructed Silver Strait bridge is decorated lavishly as well.
To newly arriving attendees, it's easily clear that security for
the event was taken with careful consideration. At the
entrances, small posts of the Califia National Guard screen the
entering guests, and more clusters of Guardsmen patrol within
the center. On the waterfront, a dozen small patrol craft of te
Aeserian Coast Guard sail around the inland sea, ready to
receive anyone in a potential emergency. The Avalon Police
Department similarly works to ensure traffic is regulated around
the center's entrances.
At 5, the World Fair opens to its attendees. The first guest,
President Geoffrey Colburn, is saluted by the fair's guardsmen.
Afterwards, envoys of international delegates and aristocrats
the world over begin to arrive, either by their luxury sedans or
by boats arriving along the waterfront. The Aeserian
Presidential Orchestra begins to play as more guests continue to
arrive.

Into the city harbor slices a large yacht

/>flags flying the illustrious banner of the House of Rouenne.
Though the ship and its crew seem somewhat the worse for wear
for their long intercontinental journey, an older man standing
at the prow seems to hold a vigor beyond his years. It is the
private ship of Ranulf III de Rouenne, Grand Duke of Rhenania,
and no true cosmopolitan could mistake the visage of the Duke
himself onboard. As the sailors scurry like rats around the deck
and the proper gestures are made for docking, the Duke keeps his
eyes fixed firmly on the city ahead.
A short time later, when the ship has been adequately secured,
he crosses the gangplank and heads for the Golden Square, a
translator and three armed soldiers of the Ducal Guard in tow.
Some distance behind, a number of porters delicately carry what
appear to be several large, oblong rectangular boxes.

At the Avalon Airfield, a loud droning can be heard as four
prototype flying wings come in for landing, each driven by four
pusher props, soon after the Eestliionaalian Representative
disembarks, a translator and six guards, each armed with a
submachine gun chambered in the new 6.5x45mm cartridge, follow,
after unloading several large crates from the ventral bomb bay

At the dock, the Governor of the state of Califia, Antony
Marshall, greets the Rhenanian envoy as they leave the pier.
"Welcome to Avalon, Grand Duke. It is a pleasure to have you
with us."
National Guardsmen inspect the crates and [Assuming they're
good] clear the envoy to pass. At the Golden Square, Aeserian
workers help to prepare the Rhenanian exhibit for display.

The workers at the airfield watch in awe at the flight of flying
wings taxi and come to a halt along the edge of the airstrip.
With the age of aviation just beginning, the Avalon Aerodrome
mainly serves small civilian aircraft and local mail ferrying
services, making the Eestiionaalian prototype craft an
intersecting sight.
"Welcome to Aeseria, gentlemen," A lead security agent at the
airstrip says, his voice slightly raised to overpower the sound
of the propeller blades, "we have a convoy of vehicles ready to
ferry you to the World Fair." He points to a motor pool next to
the airstrip's hangar and control tower, and a limousine and
several trucks are ready in idle. Meanwhile, several National
Guardsmen move to inspect the crates.

Two "teams" from Erkettun arrive separately by two ships, and
several boxes are taken off them. What appears to be a plane is
also hurried beneath a cloth to prevent the other team from
seeing it.
Aboard one of the ships is also the representative of Erkettun,
Hima Der, who goes on land to meet whoever greets him.
