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.

[damnit Alcor can you stop being such a sneaky mentor person.]

There's uh... something to do with the Zodiac I guess? Is Taurus supposed to come after Scorpio?

If you are referring to the equinoctial order of the western zodiac...not at all.

[He said it so bluntly, too...]

But there may be another connection between them we may have missed.

Equinotic-what-now?

[You know what better not to ask..........]

Uh... like what? I don't really know anything about this stuff... you have any ideas?

[He sighed, and shook his head. All while still upside-down, at that.]

No, I'm afraid not.

[To be fair, the entire reason he was at the festival is to take his mind off of such things, so he wasn't putting as much anguish thought into it as he normally would. That would be saved for later.]

[He would be more weirded out about the upside down thing if it wasn't. Y'know, Alcor. Instead, he was just kinda disappointed they didn't seem to have any leads.] Damn...

I guess there's not much we can do about it for now, then, unless someone gets a great idea. [Preventative measures never really did seem to work out for them, did they] Maybe next time won't be as bad?

We can hope.

[He put a hand in his pocket.]

And we can prepare, if a pattern is spotted in time.

[Sort...of...? With two events that have occurred, maybe they'd be able to figure it out...? As pessimistic as he was about certain matters regarding himself, he was optimistic about humanity's ability, at least.]
