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.

FORTUNE

[DeDeDe's usually pretty content to hang around at the club for most of his days, but even he enjoys a nice stroll in the park once in a while. He'd gotten used to living in a place devoid of nice scenery, so he's actually feeling somewhat at peace for a change. Catching sight of the fortunes, he heads over to see what it's all about.]

...Huh. Well, can't hurt to give it a try.

[Fishing out a coin, he flips it into the box before drawing out a fortune.]

Wonder how the club's gonna do this season.

[Unwinding the small roll of parchment paper, it bursts out in a small shower of colorful celebration sparkles that disappear just as quickly.]

中吉

Under it, a Japanese proverb:
門前の小僧習わぬ経を読む。

[Maybe it was trying to tell him that this new environment was going to shape him differently. Or maybe it was just a simple proverb.]

> For the next 5 days, Dedede's club will bring in double its profit before slowly winding down to above-average profits during the summer months.

Heh... much obliged.

[DeDeDe smiles, nodding his head to Fortuna.]

Stop by the club sometime, yeah? Thinkin' of havin' ladies' nights once in a while. Might be good for business.

[He waves the slip of paper at her.]

Prolly will be, goin' by this.
