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.

Hm, I guess so.

[He crossed his arms thoughtfully, though made sure he didn't accidentally get the food on his jacket or anything.]

Actually, I got some pretty good luck! Uh, for once. It's just what one of the fortunes said-- but I think I'm just being overly superstitious about it.

"For once?" [She smiles.] Well, thinking of it that way might be your real problem.

Yeah-- usually I do things like almost leaving my phone at school during mock exams, or getting caught in a subway crash and accompanying demon invasion.

[He laughs, in spite of himself. Kinda had to learn to laugh at stuff like that with all that's happened, after all.]

Uh... you think I shouldn't be chalking it up to superstition?
greatseal: (sheepish)

...For the forgetting your phone one, anyway. I hope today's fortune didn't predict anything as bad as an invasion.

Trust me, I'm pretty sure if we were getting a doomsday prophecy, there'd be a lot more rain and lightning, and foreboding lights coming from the sky

[What. Demons were dramatic.]
greatseal: (wink)

So if that happens tomorrow, I know who to call up and blame.

Hey, don't blame me! I'm just the messenger, here! If I didn't get it, someone else would've!
greatseal: (koromaru love)

[personal profile] greatseal 2013-06-04 07:07 pm (UTC)(link)
But that might have been someone without an affinity for demon invasions.

Any correlation between me and outrageous demon shenanigans are purely coincidental! I'm just a poor soul caught up in circumstance!

[Yeah he's definitely affecting overdramaticness a bit there.]
