Spring Celebration [OPEN TO ALL]
Who: Everyone
Where: All around the city
Summary: Open!
Warnings: None
Spring had finally arrived in Hinoto-Ri, and with it, a sense of renewal. The cold winter had gone, sweeping away memories of Shadows, endlessly repeating days, and awkward Valentine's Day escapades. A great deal of the damage to the city had been restored since the previous fall(although there is still damage from the Aries battle, but what else is new) and the gentle sun shining overhead in the midst of clear skies and a fresh breeze made it easy to forget that Hinoto-Ri was such a volatile place.
Life in the city goes on. And while there was no official government-hosted festival this year, the cherry trees throughout Capricorn remain present to be enjoyed, nonetheless. The first cherry blossoms are beginning to bloom and the pink blossoms are surely the most beautiful sight there is to see in Hinoto-Ri...
Tens of thousands of trees dotted the park's landscape, but it was the Cherry trees that were the stars of the weekend, the pink petals creating a heavenly smell only enhanced by the small stalls that were busy selling hot yakitori (grilled chicken on sticks), takoyaki (octopus balls on sticks), shioyaki (Salty grilled sea bream on sticks ) and kakigori (Shaved ice with syrup, not on a stick).
The prime picnic places were being taken and families grouped together to eat homemade lunches and bento, but there were still many spots and trees to go under should you wish to do so with friends. Young couples walked hand in hand and many young students sat under the trees, reading books or playing games.
Underneath a particularly large tree, the temples and shrines of the city have once again set up an area for O-Mikuji, where it was possible to get a fortune. 5 yen is the luckiest, though any offering will do.
There are, naturally, many other opportunities for the Visitors now that the weather is warming up. Picnics in the park, trawling the increasingly lively street-side stalls for trinkets and vendor food like takoyaki and yakitori, spending more time at night fighting demons during the 13th Hour now that it's not freezing cold...
Well, perhaps the last one isn't quite so fun. But the demons, too, seem bolder now that the weather has changed - with the exception of the Frosts, of course.
[OOC - Open log for all players! Start your own threads! have a picnic under the plants, eat a bunch of food or join others, mingle to your heart's content, tomorrow the ability to buy fortunes will be posted, and your character's fates may gain something new.
ETA: Fortunes will be delayed due to unexpected real life circumstances.]

OTA - During the week
How he'd managed that, no one would know.
Regardless, there was food scattered on his blanket and he paid close attention to anyone who came by and scribbled on his giant pad. What could he be doing?
hi pixle no one is replying so might as well
The creature didn't have the aura of being one. It was intimidating, admittedly, but not in the way demons were. And... it contained water. Lots of it. How curious...
It was enough to pique Takakage's interest to make conversation.
"Pardon for interrupting." He tried his best not to sound rude. "If it isn't too much trouble... could you tell me what your companion is?"
Hello how are you :)
"Hey! No problem at all bro, as long as you ain't here to try and attack it like some of the other Persona users. It's a Gyrados," he explained grinning, giving the creature a small pat on the side. "Before that he was a...fish....but he evolved. He's a Pokemon, like the ones the Kotoha chica carries around."
not dead :p still alive
"... I see." Takakage answered after a short pause. So they were a different kind of creature - but very rare, too. He didn't know that Kotoha had some too - perhaps they were from her world?
He filed the question away for future inquiring.
"I presume it takes instruction from you? Like a Persona... but only in that aspect?"
not being dead is EXCELLENT
"Yeah a bit like that!" It was how he had thought of it at first. "There's certain things it can learn and as long as you keep him happy, he follows what I say."
However, he wasn't a perfect trainer either.
"It's okay, we came to an understanding."
yes exactly! so I can do tags hahahha
But more about that later. Courtesy first.
"I see." Takakage nodded, giving the other a faint smile. "Ah - please pardon my lapse in conduct. May I know your name?"
Re: yes exactly! so I can do tags hahahha
Surprisingly, Eikichi does not smoke anything, as one might wonder.
does eikichi learn history?? :p
"... I see." He recovered quickly, though. "A pleasure to make your acquaintance." His own voice sounded faint in comparison. "My name is Takakage Kobayakawa, retainer of the Mouri clan."
Eikichi was definitely Japanese. Perhaps he was from the future as well?
He does but he's not the best student so I'm sorry in advance
"That explains the outfit. My dad would freak out seeing you...he's very 'old school'." Or perhaps one might would have just said traditional. However Eikichi wasn't the type to throw words like that especially if he was trying to step away from that. Ahhh, teenage rebellion.
ah I thought he might have recognized takakage hahahaha saionji did
It still felt rather surreal to be speaking with those from the future. History had cast them in an... interesting light.
maybe if he was a rock start he'd reconize him--okay no that's terrible
"Yeah that's right! I'm Japanese all the way, baaaaby!"
in an au maybe hehehhee
Though... Eikichi made him uncomfortable. The youth was too flamboyant, almost rivaling the kabukimono of the Sengoku Era. Even worse than Saionji, too, and the strategist had thought her extreme. Had culture and civility deteriorated so far over time? What a tasteless world the future must be...

"Woah! He's bigger than I thought he was," she said in awe.
no subject
"Anyway! How you don' today?"
no subject
no subject
"Wooow, you've got a good one!"
Is it bad I want to say it's a girl but Eikichi has always thought it was a guy
"Thanks babe, I've been taking good care of him. After all, it takes a bro to know another one!" Or more like Eikichi finally stopped being afraid of it and actually started to take care of it properly.
not at all, and Kotoha can actually tell if that is what you want?
"Oh! That reminds me; like I said before, I have some TMs if you want Koi to learn some different attacks?"
For him to learn thousand of years later it's perfect
no subject
Seriously, you might as well have asked 'why is water wet' from the way Kotoha is responding.
no subject
"But that...doesn't explain anything! So it just switches from one form to another? Like Persona?"
The Gyrados, meanwhile, had decided to just lie down at this point. It probably knew when Eikichi was being...Eikcihi-like.
