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.

[She doesn't even stop to look at him or the broken shoe. She just keeps walking, barefoot, towards the bench, leaving the geta for him to pick up.]

I can walk just fine.

[Maybe he should just buy her a pair of sandals instead.

He follows her retreat, sitting down beside her on the bench and surveying the damage.]


At least they'll match this time.

[She sighs as he sits down, then leans slightly right so she's resting against his shoulder.]

It's probably not even worth fixing them. It might just happen again. [more pouting...] It's too big a coincidence. I knew I shouldn't have pulled those fortunes.

You went and drew fortunes already, huh?

[He can't say he believes a single slip of of paper is responsible for a couple of broken strings, though he's suddenly not sure who has the worst luck with geta between the two of them anymore.

He reaches into his pocket and fishes out a clean white handkerchief that he been keeping wrapped around his pocketwatch. He tears a strip of it away.]


If they break again, I'll fix them again. And if they break after that I'll just carry you.

[oh really.]

...That could be really embarrassing, or really sweet. I'm not sure what to aim for now.

[He starts to fix the geta, threading the new material through and knotting it.]

We'll see how well your luck holds out.

It still could be worse. I didn't fall over and you didn't get hit in the head.

[nevermind that he's the one who prevented both those things.]
