Cherry Blossom Festival (May 4-6)

[stringmods]

Who: EVERYONE

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.

cue a short thread

[Miyako's attending the festival in order to relax and simply...forget about the Taurus event. It happened and it's foolish to ignore it, but for a moment, she don't want to think about it.

...Which became fruitless when a unpleasantly familiar thing appeared before her again.

Stepping back, she outright glared at Alcor, making no effort to mask how she feels about him.]

Heretic.

[Oh wow, so much contempt in one, spoken word.]

the shortest of threads

[...Well, it wasn't as if Miyako Hotsuin masked her feelings about him normally anyway. He'd apologize, for getting in her way and...the obvious issue, but more likely than not, his apology would fall on deaf ears.

...]

...Ah.

[...Alcor gives her a curt nod, acknowledging her existence (and his guilt), then promptly returns to the sitting position on his branch.

That...could have gone better. (No, it couldn't have.)]

very shortest

[It could have gone better. But that requires...a certain amount of effort and, more than likely, intervention from others. Even if he apologises, she wouldn't accept it.

After receiving that nod from him, Miyako turns around and walk away from him in a sour mood.]
