Flower Viewing

Who: ...Lol man anyone ever. Everyone?
What: A very "special" Hanami as noted here
When: Most of Saturday afternoon going into Saturday evening
Where: Ammy's Hill
Summary: The haphazardly planned long-waited Hanami actually happens.
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]

Only once a year, and the blossoms never last long. It's a big deal in Japan, though, everyone gathers under the trees to have a picnic with their co-workers, or family and friends. There are also tons of Sakura trees all over, so imagine this, but a bunch more trees and people! That's how it is in Japan!

Wow ... that sounds incredible, Bunny! I wish I could see something like that ...

Hey, I'm sure you'll see something like it one day, Flonne! Who knows, maybe with the help of the magical doggy we'll have lots and lots more Sakura trees here!

That'd be great! [... wait.] But uhm ... 'magical doggy'?

That cute white and red puppy! [Usagi can't quite remember what Haruki called her.]

Oh, I think I know who you mean! I've never really gone near it, but I'm sure I've seen it around! [ ... ] ... I didn't know it was magical, though.

[Usagi gives a large nod] It seems to be! I think that's why we got the pretty Sakura trees! I wish I was magical...[Oh wait]

[identity profile] loveangelflonne.livejournal.com 2010-04-05 11:55 pm (UTC)(link)
So do I ... [Because being an angel + having access to a handful of magic isn't the same as what she's seen in anime.]

[aww, don't make that face, Flonne. Usagi will give her a slight nudge] But I guess being here is like being magical, isn't it?

[identity profile] loveangelflonne.livejournal.com 2010-04-06 10:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Well ... yeah, I guess you're right. It certainly is like something you'd only see on TV after all!

Exactly! [fist pump of glory] We're like the girls in a shoujo manga!

Hehehe, you're right! All we need are talking animals to become our partners and we'll be set! ♥

[aww, Flonne reminded her of Luna, but never fear! Usagi can't be down] There are tons of talking animals here! We could just go pick one up, and voila, we have our partner!

That's true! I wonder if any of them are secretly magical too?

[identity profile] loveangelflonne.livejournal.com 2010-04-10 07:14 pm (UTC)(link)
We should! Maybe someone knows of one here, or maybe more people will be interested in finding one!

[identity profile] themoonuplifts.livejournal.com 2010-04-10 08:50 pm (UTC)(link)
You might be right! This is something we must look into for the greater good of magical girls everywhere!

[identity profile] loveangelflonne.livejournal.com 2010-04-11 01:46 am (UTC)(link)
Right! I'll try looking around myself for a little while, then I'll try asking around!
