St Kelley's is one of the more sedate occasions in Baedal, at least as holidays go. It passes more or less unnoticed by the majority of the population as many of them feel it doesn't concern them. It's not their holiday; it's for the others. Those with severed ties and broken hearts. The temple and church preach that it's a time for reflection or for glorifying the generosity of the gods. It's one of the few days on which no one looks askance at first generation Citizens mourning their missing loved ones publicly.

As night rolls around and floating lanterns are set to sea, the Apache in Mog Hill prepares to accept guests from the newer cohorts. It's something that happens every year, making it a practical tradition. The alcohol will be cheaper for first timers, and the music will be kept at a reasonable level.

"Oh yeah? We had both. Credit cards and e-payments but cash, too. Every country is different with how common paper money is." Jae is one of Those People about carrying cash, and doesn't like doing it, but there's not much of a choice in Baedal. "Where are you from, anyway?"

"Space," Will says, expression staying carefully neutral, mostly because he wants to see Jae's reaction. He's a troll, but it comes from a place of affection and -- okay, he's mostly just a troll. But telling people and watching the range of reactions the information gets has been consistently entertaining since he got here.
