Springtime Harvest

[mikangirl.livejournal.com]

Who: mikangirl, threeswordsoul, their immediate families by demand, their extended families, friends, and orchard workers by invite. (That's... a lot of people >_>a)
What: Mikan harvest!
When: All day, 24th April
Where: Nami and Zoro's fictional mikan orchard on the outskirts of town.
Summary: It's that time of year again in which the household sneakily gathers free fruit-pickers--uh, I mean, makes a celebration of the annual Spring harvest. Food, festivities, and fruit collection? Bring a basket.
Rating: Rated C. For cavities.



[The entire orchard is decorated for the event with streamers and flowers along the fences; pinwheels, too, though they're always there. There's a looot of fruit to be picked, and Nami will supply baskets for everyone-- and anyone who comes bearing a basket of their own can take it away filled with fruit at the end of the day. In the meantime, enjoy the scenery and the food and drink and each other's company. The harvest ends at sunset.]

[ooc: Cross-thread and threadjack to your heart's content. You can be out amongst the trees, in where the food is being served (there'll be a few tables to sit at on the back porch area), lurking in the house for whatever reason or anything else you can think of to do at a huge family gathering like this :|a The food is delicious, supplied by Sanji - and beware the roving Hughes with his camera. |D

I will also be slow as hell to begin with because my internet is dead, but pfft there are a lot of other people at this thing. SCRATCH THAT I LIED. What the hell, computer. B| ...anyway, go nuts.]

[Sokka's here, picking him some fruit and such. His wife and kids may or may not be coming too, but for the moment he's alone, dutifully plucking mikans. The things you do for adopted family, huh?]

[Well, she's seen Fenimore darting around the place and talking to Xion, so it stood to reason either Sokka or Suki were here. She's come to hunt him down, her own basket in hand.]

Hey, Sokka. How'd your festival earnings go?

[markofthewise]

Oh, I made a killing. Of course, it did help that people had some 'extra' money to throw around.

[Yup, life is good. Even with what he went around spending, this will definitely pay the bills for awhile.]

[mikangirl.livejournal.com]

Well, wasn't that convenient. [Grin.] Turns out I made a fair profit that day myself. [In potentia, anyway.]

[markofthewise]

Kind of makes you wonder if the big G.O. approves of us making a bunch of money on his special day.

[mikangirl.livejournal.com]

Of course he does. Money makes the world go round, people have it to spend, they buy things at the festival, they go home happy. It gives us all a good memory of the day, so we look forward to it the next year even more.

[markofthewise]

Right. And it makes some of us wealthier at the same time, right?

A fortuitous side effect, to be sure.
