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.

[It hadn't felt like it had been a year since the last cherry blossom festival, and... wait. It hadn't. Oh well.

It still makes her feel odd to have to convert this e-cash into coins, though.

She'll just take a Fortune slip, because she's confident that her love life will work out eventually and as far as she's concerned her family can go screw themselves.]

Put your mouse over the Japanese words for the transulation

[Unwinding the small roll of parchment paper on the Fortune Tree, nothing happens in particular.]



[Under it, a Japanese proverb:]

水に流す。


> Atoli will have a good day, what that entails is up to you. Moreover, after the 13th hour that night, she will find a single serving of her favorite food on the table, along with a Steam Bike. Time to learn how to drive one?
