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.

...Well. That was a new one. How had he missed this person swinging around...? Lost in his own thoughts, more likely than not.

"Oh? Did I intrude upon your territory?"

...Though he doubted the trees counted as "her territory" in the first place.

Perhaps that, and also probably half-due to Lash's ability to mistwalk when she felt like it.

"Tee hee hee! Nah, this place don't belong to me, but if I had an army to conquer it, it would be!"

Well she was very honest about it, at least. The fact that they were both upside down to talk didn't seem the least but odd to her.

"What are you doing her anyway?"
jumyouboshi: i decided i liked it better in black and white (SIDEGLANCE ✵ choked with tears)

Indeed...at least she was honest about her intentions, and he could always appreciate honesty. And technically, she was right. That was how conquering worked, after all. With armies and force and military might and...

...Ah, humans.

"I am here to simply observe the human festivities. What about you?"

"Thinking what I should intent next," she explained, opening her hand to reveal a tiny miniature neotank which scuttled up and right back into her pocket. "I've been shrinking the components prototype by prototype to make them smaller! Maybe I could use these to spy on people soon, tee hee hee!"

Seriously, honest to a fault.

"That and I need to figure out a strategy to get the best out of the guy who beat me last time! Ooooh, it just burns me up thinking about it!"
jumyouboshi: i spent like 3 hours on this and it still looks kinda awful (CONVERSE  ✵ the voice calling out so)

The tiny Neotank gets a raised eyebrow out of him. Alcor eyes it curiously, obviously piqued.

"That is your creation, then? How interesting...humanity's development of technology never ceases to amaze me."

Honestly, the things they made were pretty ingenious, and they kept making advancements upon advancements, a sign of their limitless potential...though he did wish they spent less resources on military technology and more on other things. But, that couldn't exactly be helped.
