==The Parade==
''Anonymous''

I can't even remember what holiday it was supposed to be for, but that was a parade I'd never forget. The streets were packed, like they always were, and cosplayers were parading down the streets in celebration of something or other.. 

The big spectacle of the day was the Gunpla society's full scale papier-mache gundam float. They had even managed to rig up some limited mobility with the thing, allowing it to move its arms and head.

It was a sight to behold, at least it was until the Anime district parade came to the major cross-section where the Sci-Fi parade was coming from. There was a brief scuffle as marching bands and cosplay groups stumble past each other, then it came rolling down the street... The Sci-Fi district had created a full-sized papier-mache Normandy float.

It was rather nice to see the two, side by side, the sun just peaking out and glittering golden rays across them, as if to celebrate their glory. The landing bay doors opened on the Normandy and a picture-perfect squad of Shapard, Liara, and Wrex stepped out. The crowd audibly gasped for a moment before a flurry of flash photography went off...

Then they opened fire. Their guns were super-soakers and Wrex was lobbing water balloons the size of basketballs. Chunks of the Gundam vanished beneath the watery onslaught. My heart sank as I watched chunks of RX-78's frame fall to pieces.

It's arm raised feebly, aiming its beam rifle at the Normandy. A geyser of water burst from it's barrel and tore across the Normandy's hull, tearing it from stem to stern. In the chaos of the initial assault, the Gundam's float operators had tapped into a nearby fire hydrant and their Gundam was now tearing through the opposing float as it slowly raised its arm.

Shit like that is the reason I stay in this city.
