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 and Love

After the stunt she pulled during the Taurus days, Shura is trying to be as discreet as possible. Therefore, she's dressed in long clothes to hide her body, using the hood of her vest to hide her face as much as possible. The demon with the fortune box caught her attention; since she had change to spare, she decided that she might as well try it out. In the end, though, she didn't pick one for Family, as she ended up figuring that it would only depress her further.

[Unwinding the small roll of parchment paper on the Fortune Tree, a small shower of sparkles falls out before disappearing.]



[Under it, a Japanese proverb:]

知らぬが仏。


> Shura fill find that her markings and neck back-fin don't appear to humans for the next five days. They are still visible if she looks at herself, to demons or a mirror, but to everyone else, they will be gone. She will also obtain a 10,000 yen note (100$) given to her by a Jack Frost.

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



[And under that, a small saying.]

We are who we are, because we chose who we are.

[...on the side, she can read that sign that tells her that should be get a bad fortune, to fold and place it on the trunk of the pine tree as it is custom alongside other bad fortunes, in the hopes that the bad luck will attach itself to the tree and not to her.]

> For a few days, demons will chase her during the 13th hour, declaring their love for her much like crazy fangirls and making it near impossible to move around.
