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.

I wouldn't count anything out entirely here. Then again, all I got was some advice about agriculture.
eyewillprotect: (Hmm?)

...Agriculture?
echo_of_a_jedi: (I can see what you're imagining)

Don't worry about it. I know a metaphor when I read one. I just mean it was fairly neutral, not really a curse or a blessing.
eyewillprotect: (Your cheerful council president!)

Oh... I see!

I suppose I should be happy I only got one curse. The other two turned out to be blessings, thankfully.

I only drew one. I've seen what happens when I press my luck.
eyewillprotect: (Komaki...)

Ah... Does it usually go...

[Not... as well...?]

Let's just say in my experience there's no such thing as good luck.
eyewillprotect: (Thank you.)

...Fortune can be fickle, huh?

Then again, I'm still not sure if I really believe it one way or the other, myself.
