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.

Yeah. I hear the Scorpio one was even worse, just maybe not as embarrassing...

Oh hey, your name is Daichi? Can I ask you a favor?

Yeah-- I was hiding in my room for most of Scorpio, so I'm not sure if that's better or worse.

[He let out an exasperated sigh at himself, though perked back to attention quickly after.] Huh? Sure, what do you need?

[Rise quietly and with exaggerated cautiousness takes a paperback book out of her purse. It's covered in a homemade (and blank) dustcover.]

I don't even like these books, but a while ago the lady who hands out quests in the Velvet Room asked me to get some autographs. I know this is stupid, and I'll understand if you say no...

[Christ, she's turned into her own fans.]

...but could I get your autograph on this? It'd really help me out.

[She opens the book and the copyright page indicates that it is, in fact, the second book of those horrible Junes things.]

[For a quick few seconds or so, he just sort of...stared. He'd almost forgotten about that weird Junes stuff and then he remembered wow all that crap was really weird.

But it doesn't take long for him to let out some sheepish and amused laughter.]


S-Sure, I don't see why not...! At least you're not like those girls that want that Tatsumi guy to bite them or something. Got a pen or anything?

Kanji-kun is a friend of mine.

[She grimaces a bit as she hands Daichi a pen.]

Scary-looking as he is, sometimes I wonder if he doesn't need a bodyguard here...

[Somehow he didn't imagine that Kanji guy being friends with a girl like Rise. Huh.

Regardless, he kept that to himself, and took Rise's pen to write out his name in kanji on the inside of the book.]


Come on, they've gotta be...mostly harmless, at least? I mean, I don't think they'll do anything dangerous or illegal...

[Ahahaha....]
