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]

*Sets the skull down, and then starts just digging with his hands where the cue left a mark. :|*

Red...

[ Her eyes are drawn back to the skull, before she winces and looks back up to the tree -- and then back down to the skull again. ]

[sweethealer.livejournal.com]

[ But she makes her mind up.

Hands shaking a little, still in shock, she's going to help dig. ]

[burningfighter.livejournal.com]

Gold, give us a hand.

[mischiefbreeder]

[He stares for a moment or two. Trying to get over the shock of that. Unearthing a skull is some freaky shit.]

2/2

[mischiefbreeder]

[But he dispels that shock and puts on his determined face, collapsing his cuestick and getting on his knees.]

Yeah, you got it! [Digdigdig.]

[sweethealer.livejournal.com]

[ Digdigdig more. Doesn't matter her shaking hands have dirt and ground on them. ]

[burningfighter.livejournal.com]

*yeah digging is boring let's just skip it

SKELETON GETTO DA ZE. Red finally looks at it, and... ... sighs in relief?*

[mischiefbreeder]

[Gold also looks at it. He stares at it for a moment, and then just falls back on his butt and... laughs?]

[sweethealer.livejournal.com]

R-Red? Gold...?

[ That's when she really looks at it and... Visibly relaxes. ]

O-Oh! Phew...

[burningfighter.livejournal.com]

*Laughs a bit too.*

That surprised me, though... Who would've expected it to be fake?

[mischiefbreeder]

Yeah, they threw us for a loop! But, of course, I knew it was fake all along!

[sweethealer.livejournal.com]

[ Liar. ]

I wonder who buried it there...

[burningfighter.livejournal.com]

*Liar.*

We were probably right the first time... It is an event.

[mischiefbreeder]

But for what, I wonder?

[sweethealer.livejournal.com]

Um... A prank?

[burningfighter.livejournal.com]

Scary story contest?

[mischiefbreeder]

This is a pretty poor way to do either one, in any case.

[sweethealer.livejournal.com]

At least it wasn't a real... skeleton.

[burningfighter.livejournal.com]

Yeah... Maybe we should bury it again.

[mischiefbreeder]

Yeah... Probably no point in keeping it with us.

[sweethealer.livejournal.com]

Mmm...

[ Back to burying the skeleton? ]

[burningfighter.livejournal.com]

I hope no one notices the hole...

*bury bury bury*

[mischiefbreeder]

Maybe they'll think he had three eyes! [Bury bury bury~]
