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.

I am...?

[He looks confused by that, as if "happy" is a word he's never ever heard used to describe himself.]

Oh! Well, I just, erm...like sitting here, that's all. You seem happy, too.

Eh? Well, why wouldn't I be? The view's great, the food's fantastic, and I've even got time off from work!

[Who wouldn't be happy with that?]
primordial: (Default)

[personal profile] primordial 2013-05-09 02:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh? That's good for you, then...not like I have work to be free of, but either way...

[He shrugs, eyes looking over to the food stalls in the distance.]

I would like to try the food, but honestly, I'm not hungry, What a shame.
bondsofsuffering: ([Strain] we see everywhere)

[personal profile] bondsofsuffering 2013-05-10 02:50 am (UTC)(link)
Hey, that's no reason not to eat. You gotta try some of this stuff, it's really great!
primordial: (are we just silent stones)

[personal profile] primordial 2013-05-13 12:16 am (UTC)(link)
M-maybe later.

[He gives the yakitori in Hizumi's hands a glance, before shaking his head.]

Right now, I just want to relax...
bondsofsuffering: ([Strain] things easy)

[personal profile] bondsofsuffering 2013-05-13 10:40 am (UTC)(link)
Aaah, giving those poor nerves of yours a break?
primordial: (though in the end we're the same)

[personal profile] primordial 2013-05-13 12:07 pm (UTC)(link)
You could say that. I mean, during the event with the Taurus monster a while ago, I was paranoid like nothing else...it's good not to feel like that anymore.
bondsofsuffering: ([Question] fearful heart try)

[personal profile] bondsofsuffering 2013-05-13 12:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, so you were another one of them?

[He says, as if he wasn't one of those who were screaming about the bulls coming. Definitely not.]

What sign are you?
primordial: (but do not think you've won)

[personal profile] primordial 2013-05-13 12:14 pm (UTC)(link)
There were others...?

[A curious look.]

Scorpio. What does that have to do with anything?
bondsofsuffering: ([Eat] final conclusion or…?)

[personal profile] bondsofsuffering 2013-05-13 12:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Scorpio, huh...

[He bites down on the yakitori, partially to eat and partially so he can access his COMP with his now freed hand, scrolling through the recent entries until he finds the one he wants. When he does speak, it's only after swallowing a chunk of the chicken.]

...Another sign associated with the water element. Guess it really is on the mark.
