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.

[Daichi didn't necessarily believe in all of this stuff-- but hey, it couldn't hurt, right? And this city was such a weird place, that maybe stuff like this would come true. And either way, it was kind of fun. Kind of like how when you know something's dumb or pointless, but you do it anyway. Sort of.

So he drops on coin in the box and goes to take one from the Fortune tree, simple enough! Maybe it'd even get him off the hook with Q and the fire department, ahaha... Yeah right.

Before he unrolls it though, he stops a moment. 'Family' and 'Love'...

He steps back over to Fortuna, and drops another coin in. Family... well, his family wasn't here, obviously, but-- maybe he'd be able to figure out if they were at least OK? No, that was dumb, it wasn't really fortune telling, was it? Not like that... but... now that the thought had crossed his mind, he couldn't resist.

'Love'... unsurprisingly, he thought of Io for about a second and a half, but-- no, that was even dumber. She was with Kaito now, and he was damn well sure he was over it! So, his romantic prospects were currently zero unless he counted that weird as hell moment when Kairi kissed him during the Taurus attack, but it couldn't hurt. He was a teenage boy, what would you expect!]


Uh-- sorry! [He was probably taking too long, so he dropped yet another coin in Fortuna's box and rushed over to the trees, taking one each from the remaining two.]

[Unwinding the small roll of parchment paper on the Fortune Tree, a small shower of sparkle explodes before disappearing in thin air.]

末吉

[Under it, a Japanese proverb:]

猿も木から落ちる。


> FREE CAR INSURANCE Next week, Daichi will find that Poltergeist demons like to hang around with him on friendly terms. Moreover, the sentence for the Truck Riding incident will be lessened.

[Then, the Family tree. Unwinding the small roll of parchment paper, he can read the following;]

半吉

[And under that, a small saying.]

He who stands for nothing will fall for anything..

> That night after the 13th hour, Daicih will find a family photo album next to his bed...and his exam slip?

[Finally, the Love tree. Unwinding the small roll of parchment paper, he can read the following;]



[And under that, a small saying.]

When you learn to love, you also need to learn how to let go.

[Almost as if it was trying to tell him something...]

>Daichi will find that the fangirls are not as obsessed with him as before.
