When Murdoc, Amara, Skye, and Tidas came out, the people of Alcon cheered for their leaders. Gavin and Petrie were the first ones to come up and greet them, then the stream of their friends stayed steady for a while.
The RMC members were the closest, so they all came over to congratulate them on the signing. Arthur, Ralph, and several of the Generals congratulated them first, followed by Klaus, Ronnie, and Kari, who had been at the forefront of the crowds. Keeping everyone away from the stage when they had become clamorous.
Tables were set up in rows as far as the eye could see, with thousands of people walking around the sides getting food. Murdoc took off like a bat out of hell, yelling something about potato salad. Everyone shared a look, then chuckled as they watched him duck and dodge people as he scanned the tables.
