Festivities

Celebration

As the guests arrived, The Federation provided a chest containing saddles and summoned horses for each participant. This was done to ensure that everyone had a means of transportation at the beginning of the event. Once all the guests had arrived, an announcement was made instructing the participants to place the eggs at the front line, while the players were asked to stay behind. A procession then took place, with everyone walking towards the triumphal arch, accompanied by music playing in the background.

After the participants walked with the cavalry, it was time to blow up the fireworks. The spectacle was much appreciated, with colorful fireworks that were set by The Federation that lasted several minutes in the sky. In the end, the participants were surprised with a firework resembling the flag of France.

After the fireworks show ended, it was time to try the typical food of the event in the Cafe that stood next to the Arc de Triomphe. Afterwards, they started spider-manning attaching themselves with grappling hooks and attached to the Arc de Triomphe to party. They quickly got the idea to turn Foolish into a living piñata as a joke, but Fit accidentally killed him in the middle of the fun, taking one of his presidential lives.

As a reward, everyone got Foolish's head, a direct reference to the tradition of guillotining a king, and the Bastille Day was now an Impersonate-Foolish event.
