Miki wasn't the only one who couldn't resist touching their shared Filolial. Kou as well, seemed to be enamored. Under all of the attention, Fiona had nothing but triumphant feather ruffling to show her satisfaction. Her entire body seeming to vibrate with her happiness much to the general contentedness of Miki. The blonde lass had her arm sink very slightly into the feathers surrounding this creatures body and she could only compare her to the softest bed she'd ever laid in. 'Sugoi! She's so soft,' to be fair Miki now had in mind the idea of traveling on the road with this Filolial in tow, sunken into the warmth of its body as she slept and it was a magnificent thought. Moving right along, the announcement was about to begin.
Seriri expressed her needs to the lad known as Diva and waited for him to comply. Kaiba Seto's eyes were on him the whole time, and Hikari noticed this sighing lightly, 'The brooding big brother is very brooding...' she thought to herself, a bit happier her own was a bit less of this in her face. Strangely, before Diva acted, he looked back towards Hikari. The Demi-human girl had wide eyes which shown with bright light. Upon finding his gaze upon her, she did the only reasonably encouraging thing she could do. She gave him the thumbs up and a warm compassionate grin. Her tail waggled in the breeze as if she was well and truly happy to provide such comfort though she had no reason to do so, aside from it being a part of her personality at some level. She wasn't quite sure why, but with the lad looking at her like that, there wasn't anything else for her to do. And soon enough he produced the cube from his body doing so would allow Seriri to interact with it she smiled happily as well. "Arigatou..." she mentioned to the lad before moving to interact directly with the artifact, making her voice heard to all throughout the Kingdom.
"Citizens and Visitors of Atlantis," she started with a great deal of confidence before she continued. "Recently, times have been very trying for us all. Ties and loyalties have been tested, inaction and disparity addressed and the very foundations of our Kingdom have been reforged. Though all of this, we have all come a long way, and now is the time we see the benefits and rewards of our hardships and toiling. Now is the time to cement this new life for ourselves and those around us. To know decidedly that we can interact with each other in peace, harmony and camaraderie," this was the opening presented by the lass. "In light of this, a week of festivals and events highlighting the things important to us all. Family, friends, and love," she offered these words and waited softly before beginning to outline the times to be spent here. "A day of sibling celebration to show affection for those we call family. Full of fun, games and activities and an exchange of gifts. Followed up by a Parent/Child Day to celebrate the love between parents and their children. Giving everyone a chance to take an active interests in that which interests the next generation," she mentioned. All of this seemed very much inline with a celebration which would allow the nation to heal from its wounds and family and friends to come together. "On the middle day a Lantern Lighting ceremony, to celebrate the light of friendship, both old and new. A day of arts and crafts for all involved," she mentioned all of this seemed about right but it wasn't quite a week. "But to start and end this week of celebration, days of declaration are necessary. To highlight the ability of those to move of their own volition, to take action and to receive the benefits of it. We are launching our first celebratory day, Valentine's Day, for the exchange of chocolates from girls and women to everyone, with special attention paid to friendships and romantic interests," she said these words caught Miki's attention and her eyes widened her gaze nervously shifting towards Kou. She'd already agreed to participate, still she was feeling a bit indecisive about the nature of her actions. 'Shit!' Still that didn't seem so bad. "And to end the week, White Day, an exchange of white gifts, from men to the women who showed romantic interest in them. An exchange of fairness and equality to highlight those who take action not just in the face of adversity but in the face of emotions not so easily navigated," Seriri concluded a meddling smile on her face. "The entirety of the market will be behind you for this week of celebrations, Chocolate making, gift-wrapping and gift making classes will be offered by all craftsman and games and activities stalls will be open and available around the clock for all our citizens and vistors. Enjoy the celebrations and know that you've earned the right to it by your own hands."
Such would conclude the announcement of Queen Seriri, as she stopped her interaction with the cube. The citizens at large seemed to receive this message positively, after all, this was something completely new to them and unique as a celebration. Giving everyone the opportunity to express themselves properly.
