Cherry Blossom Festival (May 4-6)

Who: EVERYONE
Where: Central Park (Capricorn Ward)
Summary: Open - Post-event log for everyone!
Warnings: Nothing

The battle was over, and the city was busy licking its wounds and trying to repair for the next few days. Amidst all of this commotion, however, Golden Week continued and with it, the weekend and next Monday was a day off to enjoy the Cherry Blossoms. And despite the fighting that had been going on, Hinito-Ri continued to adapt, and enjoy what little time that they could.

After all, fighting for such beauty did make you a lot more appreciative of it.



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. Townsmen would nod towards you, knowing that you had helped last week, young couples walked hand in hand, and many young students sat under the trees, reading books or playing games.

In the central area, Shinto monks had set up a O-Mikuji area, where you could-- for a mere 10 yen-- hope that questions on love, family or fortune would befall you favorably.

The danger had passed for now. Life continued to flourish.

Enjoy it well.

Oh, it's cute! Almost too cute to eat.

Aren't they? If you ever get a chance to, you should definitely try on, though. They're sort of like a mix between apples and pears.

It would have to be with someone very special, right?
charmedbymemories: (✖ the visions i see)

[personal profile] charmedbymemories 2013-05-17 04:34 am (UTC)(link)
Yes. A good friend or family member, or maybe someone more important than that. [She gives her a tiny mischievous smile.]
all_wound_up: (bashful)

I don't really have anyone like that, though...

[Although she is blushing just a little.]

Hm, if you say so...

[Naminé knows different though! That blush says it all.]
all_wound_up: (ehehehe)

[personal profile] all_wound_up 2013-05-18 09:25 pm (UTC)(link)
It would be nice to be able to try one, though.
charmedbymemories: (✖ can smiles bridge feelings?)

I'd like one too. Who knows, maybe some strange thing will happen in the city that will let us have a paopu tree one day.

That would be wonderful! Maybe one will appear during the 13th Hour like the marketplace did.
charmedbymemories: (✖ this is true happiness)

[personal profile] charmedbymemories 2013-05-21 11:07 pm (UTC)(link)
[She laughs.]

If it does, let me know. My whole family will come out to help harvest paopu fruits off of the trees.

You never know! I'll make sure to keep an eye out for it.
