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.

[Glancing back and forth and flushing a little, Nano digs into her pocket and fishes out a ten yen coin. Her hand trembles a little as she deposits the coin, clapping her hands together twice and closing her eyes as she offers up a silent prayer.]

[...And then about half an hour later, she comes back, feeling guilty that she didn't ask about family too. She really does miss the Professor and Sakamoto, after all. So in goes another coin, and up goes another prayer.]

[Unwinding the small roll of parchment paper on the Love Tree, a small shower of sparkles fall off before disappearing.]

末吉

[And under that, a small saying.]

A friend is a gift you give yourself.

> If Nano has a crush on someone, she will find the courage to admit it. Otherwise, she will find that cats and dogs to be extra friendly to her during the next week, and one will even bring her a 5,000yen (50$ note)!

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

末吉

[And under that, a small saying.]

Always be a first rate version of yourself and not a second rate version of someone else.

>Nano will find, in a few days time, photographs of her family and Class 1-Q.
