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.

[She only met him once but it was hard not to recognize him.]

Still working during the festival?

[Apollo looks up and nods.]

Yeah, but it's only a little work. Just looking over some basic information. Did you know that I have to defend demons now? Yeah. Really hard to get used to that.
gigglesnortpriestess: (i'm me)

Even demons need some help now and then. They're not all bad.

[Her little Pyro Jack worker is a good example despite everyone else not liking the rest of his clan.]
justjustice: (thinking)

I guess I could see that. I'm just used to defending humans. I think my next client is a fairy of some sort, but I'm not sure who specifically it is yet.
gigglesnortpriestess: (oh!)

[personal profile] gigglesnortpriestess 2013-05-27 04:37 am (UTC)(link)
Fairy? Maybe it's a Pixie?

[She heard of those since arriving. They seem pretty nice.]
justjustice: (normal)

It could be. Or it could be one of those Jacks. Hopefully it's just troublemaking and they're not guilty of anything too major...
gigglesnortpriestess: (bitch don't fuck with me)

[personal profile] gigglesnortpriestess 2013-06-22 06:23 am (UTC)(link)
It would be a lot worse if it was one of them.

[Ok, so she has no love for either Jack clan but at least her pyro jack was safe from her wrath.]
justjustice: (normal)

Why? They seem friendly enough. Sort of. For monsters, anyway.

[Poor Apollo doesn't really know what they're capable of.]
gigglesnortpriestess: (i'll get you in one strike)

[Said rather bluntly.]

They brainwashed friends of mine during Christmas and broke into my inn twice.
justjustice: (freaked out)

[personal profile] justjustice 2013-06-26 01:16 am (UTC)(link)
Brainwashed?! That doesn't sound good at all! And they break and enter, too? Consider my opinion changed!
