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]

Are you alone?

[hazelrink.livejournal.com]

Well, I came alone anyway.

[psychebubble]

Why?

[hazelrink.livejournal.com]

Was I supposed to bring a date?!

[psychebubble]

I just took you for the social type.

[hazelrink.livejournal.com]

Oh~ [She laughs a little, relieved] Well, I figured I could talk to people here. Maybe I should have invited Adell or No-ah or Terra though...

[psychebubble]

Frankly, it's hard to believe you can ever go anywhere alone.

[hazelrink.livejournal.com]

Well, back home Alfred followed me everywhere but here I've been trying to go out alone more!

[psychebubble]

... You have a butler named Alfred?

[hazelrink.livejournal.com]

Mmhm. He's amazing... as a child he once saved me from a bear by defeating it with his bare hands!

[psychebubble]

Weird, you don't look like Batman.

[hazelrink.livejournal.com]

Should I look like him...? [Wait, who's Batman? She thinks she knows that, maybe]

[psychebubble]

... In retrospect, I think you're better this way after all.

[hazelrink.livejournal.com]

Oh, thank you~!

[psychebubble]

Definitely not superhero-make.

[hazelrink.livejournal.com]

Oh, of course not. Teppei or Silvie would be much better at that.

[psychebubble]

Right...

... Has anyone ever told you that you're boring?

[hazelrink.livejournal.com]

Um, I don't think so. [She considers that for a bit, tapping a finger on her lips] No, not boring....

[psychebubble]

Well, I guess not to look at.

Airhead, then.

[hazelrink.livejournal.com]

I've heard that before. [She nods at that, not to her face, but she's heard it once or twice before. She smiles all the same] I guess that means I'm like a cloud then!

[psychebubble]

Do you have any emotions other than your half-dazed happiness?

[hazelrink.livejournal.com]

[She closes her eyes briefly, and then calmly-] Everyone can feel lots of things, so of course I so. I just think it's more fun for everyone to try to be happy.

[psychebubble]

Yeah, but there's a difference between 'happy' and 'lobotomy patient'.

[hazelrink.livejournal.com]

["What is a lobotomy" is written all over this face when she opens her eyes]

[psychebubble]

... A lobotomy is getting a chunk of your brain removed.
