The day of reckoning arrives. The entirety of Estelle College has gone all out for this festival. There's music, food and adoption stalls every so way There's also free water bottle dispensers scattered throughout the venue (one time use...built specifically for the festival). The moment the gates of the college had opened (there's only one entrance to the fucking college), a large mob that can put conventions and music concerts to absolute shame. It's a known fact that although Hybrids can't kill you, we can certainly beat the ever living shit out of you. As well as humiliate and mock you a thousand and two ways to Holy Sunday. Don't try and mess with us. We have been through the wringer and won't hesitate to dish out a couple of servings to you if you dare cross us.

It's going to be hectic.

The animals are indeed here, they are allowed to travel with their respective hybrid carers. And everyone is trying to pitch to give all these animals a forever home with the perfect family. It's also said on every flyer, social media post and all forms of advertisement that Estelle College's AI EDEN is doing background and character checks on every guest that passes through Estelle's gates. All Entitled Parents and Choosing Beggars will be thrown out. We want to give these animals a good home, not send them to hell. We hybrids have that down pat and we take it in stride.

I'm working multiple booths and stalls. I had created the volunteer uniform for everyone as per Horatius's request. It's to the personal style and design of each hybrid but the color scheme is the same, white and gold. The splashes of color being our hair, phones and wallets. For Caesar it's his eyes as he's a natural blonde. I have even created purses and accessories for the festival. When I said I created the uniform, I mean everything including hosiery and footwear. It left a lot of the politicians and government people shocked that we would go so far.
Chef Ruby and I are working together in the food wing. The festival used every crevice for this festival. We even brought out our unique drones/robots to help with the festival. Here's a bit of a catch of this festival, the food will only be free if you fully intend to adopt a pet. No ifs, ands or buts. For the poverty stricken, there's a little game for gaining money within the grounds. It's also meant for children and teenagers that want a pet but their parents won't help them get it. We truly pulled out all of the stops. Any restraint had been Olympic thrown out of the highest window. We will give these animals the perfect homes, if it were to kill us.
I'm dressed in Lolita inspired long sleeved white shirt with golden buttons and threading, golden fitted pants with white puppy paw prints upon it with golden ruffles at the bottom with white hemming upon the lace ruffles. I also wear a cute white and gold dog hair piece within my hair. My socks are white and gold paw prints all over it. My shoes are Lolita boots (calf high boots) of white and gold, the pattering being dog paw prints. Everyone has some sort of animal print upon their uniform to differentiate who's who. My design is that of dogs...you can probably guess why. My fingers are completely clean of nail polish. My wristwatch on my right hand is that of gold and white with paw prints all over it. I'm even wearing gold and white makeup for this occasion. Hell every girl is doing this, (the girls that don't like wearing makeup actually sucked it up and wore it for this. Including those that are far more violent when it comes to makeup or have all sorts of allergies. I've provided the ones with allergies with the stuff that won't possibly kill them or have an allergic reaction). The boys that like wearing makeup is also doing this.

The Entitled Parents and Choosing Beggars that came out of the woodwork were far too many. Some even got sent to the hospital if they got a little out of hand, did I forget to mention we won't hesitate to put brats in their place if proven to be threats to the animals that are meant to go to the perfect homes. We will not give them to abusive and outright clueless brats that just want a pet like a toy instead of a living thing or gaining a new family member. Kai practically roasted a lot of awful people while tricking Choosing Beggars into paying double the price for what they originally wanted. We all enforce Asshole Tax. We are also not above traumatizing people if needed. And oh boy, did we traumatize people. We didn't just traumatize adults, we especially traumatize the entitled and spoiled children that is brought here as well. It truly didn't take much, just throw facts at them. We also had gotten the idiots and oxygen thieves. They seemed shocked that we don't kowtow to them and break our backs to try and please them.
They just learned the hard way that we aren't pushovers and we never will. We also dealt with the more discriminatory people than normal, but we made it clear that we won't just take their bullshit. I had fun throwing out the racists, sexist and others following that criteria. I made at least three crack their skulls when I threw them out. Estelle has gotten all the hospitals within two thousand miles to cooperate with this as injuries are abound to happened.

We are very successful in a lot of adoptions as we are weeding out the bad seeds. We made a shit ton of money as the day goes on. The entitled or outright abusive people were being sent to the hospital in droves. We probably sent a bunch of abusive parents and siblings to prison as we don't just attack willy nilly. We also have cameras EVERYWHERE, top of the line and is normally used for training. The audio is crystal clear. And the imaging is just the envy of Hollywood. They can't do shit to us without ratting themselves out as awful people and thus making their sentencing far, far worse.
It wasn't until the taping of a sparring/training match. Is when the extremely conservative and backward thinking people begin their shrieking about how it's so barbaric and unholy of what we were doing, especially for the girls. That is until The Servitor drones went at them. Never have I seen and heard such a fast change in tune when they have seen that their pepper spray, tear gas and bullets held no effect against the drones. Only to be saved by Lumin as he was the closest. He's also considered the nicest out of us. As the others weren't all too keen on saving them. The tune change is completely record breaking and is put on the internet on Estelle's Live Stream on every single medium upon the planet as we're a very secretive bunch. Even Caesar and Nina who are the flashiest among us, surprisingly are incredibly secretive when brought up. Nina is a racing star and no one knew that she was a Hybrid until we were practically reintroduced/revealed to the world. The same with Caesar with his own empire and even his own family. Not even his parents knew until that event.
Caesar's parents were both shocked and heartbroken as he never once told them when he found out that he is a hybrid. Hell his entire family had the same kind of reactions as he comes from an incredibly large family.

We all keep our secrets and since our secrets hold a little more weight than most, that's where Estelle came in. We offer education and a surefire way to success. Completely hiding the more grim truth from family, friends and associates. It works with every single Hybrid that we have saved. We even saved hybrids from abusive and toxic home, Estelle have given not just educational aid and financial aid. We also give mental, emotional and psychological help as well. Our curriculum is incredibly intense and our assignments/homework is no joke. So the students can't afford to get distracted. So for the more struggling students, they aren't allowed any contact with their family. The families in question are given calls, emails and letters about it. They are also given social media posts about it. It really made the more narcissistic parents seethe. The helicopter and controlling sects of parents practically exploded. Only to find out that we won't budge. And when they threaten to pull the kids out, they are countered with that it's up to the student and they aren't paying jack shit. The education at Estelle is free. Those that need absolute control nearly loose their minds when they are reminded about that.
We actually met over two thirds of said toxic if not outright poisonous and abusive families during the festival. I had gotten over twenty fights with these types of families.

And this is just the first day.

This festival is supposed to last 3 weeks.

Why isn't the dread leaving me?
