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 + LOVE

[Midori pulls out enough coins for three fortunes - and then puts only two in.

She already knows how truly lucky she is with family. No need to ask there.

But for love and fortune, she reaches for the papers with great excitement!]

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

小吉

[Under it, a Japanese proverb:]

花鳥風月。


> Midori will find a 5,000 (50$) yen note during her trip today. She will also find a badass cape in her apartment after the 13th hour that night. The cape does not have anything special, but it looks really awesome and it cannot be torn off if she wears it.

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

大凶

[And under that, a small saying.]

Fear is the mindkiller.

[...on the side, he can read that sign that tells her that should she 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.]

>She will dream for the next week of either terrible camera cosplay mishaps, monster Featherman attacking her, and Keisuke attacking her. Moreover, when she talks on camera, her face will look and feel like it's melting for the next week. It returns to normal when the feed it shut off.

[Midori hurries to do as the sign says. She doesn't really get what the proverb means but ick curse go away, come again never.]
