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]

[Gold walks over to the spot Red's standing at, to see what he means.]

...What do you mean?

[ Yellow will hesitantly walk forward, looking up at the red tree.

When Gold speaks, she looks down at where the two of them are standing... ]

Huh?

[burningfighter.livejournal.com]

*Kneels down to examine it closer.*

It's been moved, like something was buried here... Hey, maybe there's a treasure hunt game here?

[mischiefbreeder]

Well, if that's the case...

[He takes out his cuestick. What he plans to do with it, I have no clue.]

...I'd say it's high time we claim our prize!

[sweethealer.livejournal.com]

E-Eeh?

[ I have a bad feeling about this 8| ]

S-Shouldn't we wait for the game to be announced...?

[burningfighter.livejournal.com]

Well, we've already found it, so we've won either way...

*COMPETITIVE STREAK ACTIVATED.*

[mischiefbreeder]

Yeah, it just means we have the advantage, now! The game'll be a cinch to win now!

[sweethealer.livejournal.com]

I guess so...

[burningfighter.livejournal.com]

*Remind me to tell you guys about my time in the Safari Zone.*

It'll save time if we dig it up now, though.

[mischiefbreeder]

Yeah, and we need to know if the prize is even worth it! So let's get to work! [He sticks his cue into the spot!]

[sweethealer.livejournal.com]

[ Looking at the spot, the cue, and then up at Gold... ]

Um. W-We'll need shovels...?

[burningfighter.livejournal.com]

You doing something, Gold?

[mischiefbreeder]

Yeah. I'm trying to figure out just how deep in it is.

[sweethealer.livejournal.com]

[ Just watching Gold and his cue warily... ]

[burningfighter.livejournal.com]

You found it?

1/?

[mischiefbreeder]

Yep, I think I got it! [He starts pulling out his cue.]

2/?

[mischiefbreeder]

[After a bit of pulling because it gets snagged near the end, he manages to unearth the cuestick!]

3/?

[mischiefbreeder]

[...But there's something on the end of it!]

4/?

[mischiefbreeder]

W-what the...

5/6

[mischiefbreeder]

[It's a skull on the end of the cuestick, pierced right between the eyesockets!]

6/6

[mischiefbreeder]

W...what the hell?!

1/2

[sweethealer.livejournal.com]

[ Waiting for it -- ]

[sweethealer.livejournal.com]

Eek! Eek—

[ Her immediate reaction is to jump back to find something to hide with which may or may not be Red, eyes wide as she stares at the skull from her distance. ]

W-Waah...

*HOLY SHIT WHA-*
