Festival in Buena Fe
« on: July 18, 2021, 08:55:19 PM »

Every summer the people of Beuna Fe party. For a week each year the people celebrate the story of the all powerful Maes returning the first monarchs of humanity from the underworld. Each evening people take to the beach and streets to party and dance. Local religious groups such as Temples and social clubs put together huge ornate floats and groups of dancers drag them through the street, although today they are more motorised by using cars or vans underneath them. This year the Prime Minister,  Lady Louisa Ramos, was keen to utilise the festival as best she could to attract tourists from across Mundus. She'd authorised a huge spending campaign putting adverts into international media, TV adverts in almost every language and flooding the internet with YouTube adverts. She now hoped it would be enough. The highlight of the event would be a gala parade made up of each of the previous six days winning groups with a prize giving by Queen Adela V.

At Rufino's International Airport tourists had been coming in large numbers. Patricio Paredes was a young 20 year old employee of the hotel the Rufino Grande, one of the nicer hotels in the country. "Welcome to Buena Fe" he repeated in several languages while holding up a sign for the hotel and giving it the occasional gradual spin. He was counting down the hours, his shift finished at 5pm giving him enough time to clean up and hit the streets to party himself.

At the Terminal opposite Duke Narciso, the Queen's youngest brother, waited to greet any of those of high status visiting from across the world. They'd be sat in a special royal box and a private party was being hosted following the prize giving. The Duke was 25 years old and was rather enjoying flirting with the air port staff while he waited.

Erin Osman had originally booked the week for her and the current boyfriend to attend the festival. Two days before they were due to fly out however he'd twisted his knee playing rugby for Keepton and now was forced to rehab. This meant Erin had drafted in her friend Sally Jones. The pair had become friends after Erin's stint on EMTV as one of their talk show hosts. Sally had jumped at the chance to come, it all had looked rather exciting and it was well known Erin had access to some of the best parties. They'd taken the OsmanTech private jet to Buena Fe and having passed through passport control they found Patricio Paredes. "Hi. I've a suite booked at your hotel. Erin Osman."



Meanwhile across at the diplomatic side of things Archduchess Sophie Harrison-Ironside was attending. She'd got two weeks leave from the Air Force and her uncle, King David, had hoped that the trip to Beuna Fe would act not just as some kind of diplomatic introduction between the two nations but would also give her a well needed break. Normally she would have brought with her Rollo MacAllister, her boyfriend, however he was busy preparing for the Mundus Games and so instead she'd brought along with her Hope Meadows. She was a pilot in the "Flying Can Openers" and the pair had become friends during time at REMAF Northfort where they'd both been based. Hope was a little nervous about the trip, she wasn't a royal and had no experience in this kind of thing. She was there just to keep Sophie company and so as they meet Duke Narcisco took a backwards step.

"Duke Narcisco its nice to meet you." Sophie said with a small respectful bow.

"Hey!", Fryda Hexum exclaimed as soon as she saw the sign. "Nice to meet you. We came from Jugland", she told the young man. "We booked two rooms at your hotel".

"Good morning", said Duchess Redsamlina slightly dismissively. "I hope that hotel is not disappointing", she said back to Fryda in Csletian language.

"Let's move", Redsamlina added. "They may be waiting us".
