Write a two paragraph [5-7 sentances] post about the scene and day your child arrives at it's chosen city. Try to use all five of the senses. Remember, you can't RP an infant aside from the occasional baby sound and looking around. This is not intended to be an RP post- tell us what kind of atmosphere greets your baby when he/she arrives.
At midday, the sun was at its hottest as it beat down upon the clean buildings of Heilig and its lake. Refractions off the water and metal embellishments on buildings made the city sparkle like a jewel. Indeed, she was a gem among cities, the streets clean and the people orderly. Everything seemed right with the world at this exact moment.
There wasn't the rabble of conversation heard in other cities, but the voices that could be heard were polite and welcoming. A stampede of feet was followed by carefree laughter on the warm breeze. Closer to the training barracks, the reek of sweat, leather and metal filled the air. It would take some getting used to, even for men who cared less than women about the smell.
The intense rays of sunlight caused many to shift uncomfortably and seek out the shade. One small baby, however, tilted his face up the sky and gurgled happily as both nature and the city welcomed him home.
