Though Xeck has already written about it, another point of view never hurts.
Recruiting new Krewe members was the topic on all of our minds in the lab. Zazag had called a meeting of sorts, so Xeck and I gathered around his desk. Zazag said what we were all thinking. He reminded us that our Krewe members were in short supply. That we needed to increase our ranks to make ourselves more effective. He asked us, “As for a solution to this problem, do either of you have ideas for making our Krewe seem attractable?” And then, from Xeck, the greatest idea I’d heard in a while.
“…in order to get noticed by the human bookahs, I used technicolor fireworks to attract attention… what if we do so for today.” His idea was to hold a public parade every few weeks in the hopes of engraving our parade into the memories of every single Asuran in Rata Sum, and making it a tradition. “Think of the assistants who would line up after getting a glimpse of what we can do,” he said. I turned my head and looked to Zazag, who had the same disbelieving stare that I did, and turned back to Xeck.
After more discussion, our decision to hold a parade was final. Frankly, I loved the idea. I mean, seriously. Walking around Rata Sum, setting off fireworks? Even though my last encounter with explosive decorations didn’t go great, it sounded like a blast! Oh, wow. Writing jokes in a journal entry… oh well.
Anyway, after obtaining the fireworks we needed from a thermo-alchemical Asuran technician, and in a short while, Zazag, Xeck and I were standing at one of the corners of Rata Sum, ready with the fireworks.
Our parade had begun.
As we strolled around the levels of Rata Sum, launching fireworks in every possible direction, people noticed us. Not many joined in on our parade, though. But we still got a fair few followers. For example, an Asura named Toar O. We also met a mute Charr, who was rather nice. Not much else happened during our parade. Hopefully this parade, along with the expeditions and adventures our Krewe undertakes, will prove to increase the ranks of our Krewe, and make us a much more formidable and effective group.
