Rating: Bro

Today is the day of the Hanami - the flower viewing - as planned by the SOS-Brigade, and it couldn't be a better day! There might be a cold snap today, but sometime during the early afternoon (because Haruki willed it to be so and I got mod permission) the sun gets out more and the temperature shoots up into a nice spring day. This nice spring day will persist until the sun sets, at which point it will go back to being the cold day it was meant to be today.

So while the weather is nice, you might as well enjoy yourselves! As promised, the set up here is fantastic. On the top of the hill is one giant Sakura tree and four smaller ones along the side leading to the road serving as something akin to a natural (double) torii (you know those old Shinto gate things) leading up to the main tree. All five trees are in bloom, but while the four smaller ones have the pink flowers everyone is familiar with, the top one (the big one on the center of the hill) has darker pink, almost red ones for some reason.

One reason why it might be red is that (buried in the ground) at the base of the biggest tree is a (fake Made in China) human skeleton. It's buried pretty well and thus might not come out at all, but it's there. It is.

Anyway, aside from the flowers, there are other things too! There are three big mats with a large collection of chips, sake, and water in various bowls with cups and such for people. And then towards the center (manned by Haruki and one or three other Brigade members [feel free to assume you character is one of them if you want; it'll probably be in shifts]) is a big collection of burners, pots, pans, and everything you would need to produce dumplings on the spot. And they are making dumplings (usually pork of course) for people there.

As for decorations aside from the flowers themselves... there are various painted things and paintings which some people might recognize as Miyabi's work. There are also more than likely paper lanterns up which'll help once the shadows grow deeper in the early evening. I'm being vague in case Miyabi's player wants to post something specific.

Oh and off on the opposite side of the hill from the four flank-trees (for the kids) is a series of three somewhat normal sized trampolines (for the kids) to make up for the lack of Haruki's promised jump land or giant trampoline.

So that's the setting: ENJOY.

[Naturally, this is action script/commentspam/whatever you kids are calling it these days and naturally like any big meeting post thing is set for full threadjack mode]

[ Josh is dressed like a dead woman basically because the mun is too lazy to code that up again. Also he has dumplings. ]

You seem familiar.

... Hoh.

[ it was true that beatrice had been here once before. however, her memory was still a little fuzzy at times. she could remember a few that she met, but...

she looks almost as if she's pouting for a moment. almost a child - she was a bit irritated in the ones that summoned her here. clearly, the lack of memory was because of them, right? ]

And you, as well! I see, I see. Perhaps he had met the time I had come to this place.

[neverplaysfair]

You've been here before? I suppose that would do it. I tend to remember those from my world much easier, after all.

[ there's a pause at that. as of right now, beato wasn't fond of thinking of her own world. her expression falls for just a moment, before she laughs at his words ]

It appears as if I was brought here for a brief period of time. ... Hmph. The ones in charge of this place are fickle creatures. To summon someone here, and send them back to their own kakera, only to bring them back to this place. ... However, I do not mind. [ a pause. ... if she had forgotten him, asking him for his name would be a start to jog her memory, correct? ] Do forgive me. Much has happened since I have left here. Your name?

[neverplaysfair]

Joshua. And do forgive me for forgetting yours.

... Beatrice is fine. You may call me Beatrice.

[neverplaysfair]

Beatrice. A pleasure to make your aquaintance again.

And I, as well.

[ a pause. he seemed rather relaxed during this flower viewing... ] ... I see, I see. You have become accustomed to attending thing such as this.

[neverplaysfair]

There are similar things back on my world. I didn't attend them too often, but I'm certainly familiar with them.

... Hm. Is that so. How very curious. Was there a reason for such things? [ she cackles lightly. ]
