Who: Everyone~!
When: 12 April (Sunday)
Where: Garden Park, Genessia City
What: Hanami party~!!

It's Sunday and the cherry blossoms at Garden Park are finally in full bloom, adorning the park in an explosion of delicate pink flowers and petals. With Hikari's help, Labrador has set up a number of picnic mats under the best spots they could find for viewing the blossoms.

[[The log will be separated into several sections: food and drinks, games & performances. But you're free to start your own threads.]]

Labrador is now taking out the food he has prepared, mainly sandwiches (some of which he's cut into the shape of flowers), cookies of various flavours and shaped as different flowers, including cherry blossom flavour and shape. He's made cherry blossom themed cupcakes as well. He got the idea for the flower theme from Yukiko and really, really loved it~!

He's also brought along lots of drinks - soft drinks, some alcoholic beverages for the older guests and tea! This is Labrador after all so there will be tea. He's even brewed some cherry blossom tea which might not taste like the traditional Japanese sakurayu, but is still delicious nonetheless.

Nanoha and Yukiko will be bringing along more food but anyone else who wants to contribute is free to do so!

For anyone who feels like putting on or leading any impromptu performances. Dance, sing, anything you feel like doing~!

Ted would lead, for anyone who cared to follow, the absolute simplest social dance he knew.

So, he jovially called for all and sundry to gather in a circle, performing all the usual steps. Joining hands, crossing legs, closing and expanding the circle. Not too unlike a flower, eh?

[Mikoshiba hasn't been looking forward to this since he heard about it what are you talking about, and he definitely isn't fretting on the inside now, frequently stealing glances at Mayu and blushing and pretending to admire the cherry blossoms instead. Which was harder than it should be. The blossoms were beautiful, after all, and he usually found them calming. But he didn't want to appear as if he was too into it, because that would hardly work for his image, and when he thought of that, he thought of who he was trying to maintain his image for right now, which--

Just makes him blush more and make low frustrated sounds.]

[ Mayu smiles fondly as he casually drapes an arm around Mikoto. He figures looking at cherry blossoms is a nice, relaxing activity for a couple. He expects his brother to want references. He has no sense of awkwardness over public displays of affection.

He likes it best when Mikoto shows excitement over the flowers, though he's still adorable when blushing. The effects the redhead draw in his brother's manga would make the perfect background.]

[If he's going to be so casual about it, Mikoto totally won't tense up and look around to make sure no one else has noticed how warm Mayu's arm is before he grudgingly relaxes against him.

Part of his paranoia might be because of a certain mangaka. Okay so the blossoms are kind of really nice. He rests his chin in his palms and peers upward at the flowers, his eyes softening a little.]

[Well, this sure was a beautiful gathering. Karla takes a helping of sandwiches, cookies, and tea, and finds herself a picnic mat to sit on. She takes a moment to admire the shapes of the food items.]

Well, this is nice... [She remarks to herself before she begins to eat.]

[She's content to sit and eat by herself, but she certainly won't refuse company.]

[Zoisite, not show up for something that celebrates cherry blossoms? And aww, he actually looks happy for a reason that doesn't involve hurting innocents and tricking Sailor Guardians! He's standing under a tree with a cup of tea in one hand, sipping slowly, admiring the view. Cherry blossoms are part of his everyday life, using their petals to teleport and attack, but he almost never gets to see them in bloom like this.

It feels oddly nostalgic for some reason, and his smile turns a bit wistful. If Kunzite were here to enjoy this with him it would be perfect.]

So beautiful...

Ted's circle dance had gained momentum, so much so that it temporarily mutated into a conga line, roving through the festival grounds. Hand-in-hand, it's participants frolicked with frightening speed, and only gaining more. Then they spotted their quarry: one lonely sword princess.

In unison, they hollered as they spotted their latest participant, and they cared not whether she were willing. Though Ted was not at the front, his spirit was with the one who was, holding out his hand irresistably. The message was clear: Assimilate, or else.

Karla glanced up at the conga line rapidly moving towards her. What in the world were they doing?

When they showed no signs of stopping, Karla jumped to her feet and attempted to move out of the way.

Pink tufts of foliage were kicked up in their wake, skirting beside her. The command was sounded to surround Karla, as the dancers encircled her, laughing merrily. Karla had refused their burgeoning invitation, and so now she must submit to the dreaded "or else": being put on the spot.

In a fit of mercy they would not soon repeat, the group first gave an example. "Birdie in a cage!" One dancer left the circle, did a chicken impression, flapping her wings. "This birdie out, next one in!"

The dancers moved their circle, putting Karla in the middle. They all jostled in place, awaiting her next busted move.

[And here is Kashima, here to ~~break things up~~ say hello.]

Oh! Mikoshiba, Mayu-kun!

I should've figured you'd be here.

Kashima is generally not much of a dancer, but hey--they all look like they're having fun, and she's plenty happy to join in. So she wheedles her way into the circle, now next to Ted, and trying to follow the steps as he does them.

She's laughing as she kind of trips over herself just the same, because very little can rain on Kashima's one-person parade, when she glances over to Ted. "This is fun!"

[Medicine had left the park for a while, scavenging and exploring. She and Su-san, her little doll companion, hadn't expected this much activity in their unofficial home. It makes her frown and try to move people away from a particular tree that she's fond of.

People probably would take her warnings more seriously if she wasn't such a small doll, barely knee-height.]

"Birdie in a cage!" They shouted in unison, and Ted couldn't possibly think of a better birdie than Kashima. He smiled back, quite in agreement that it was fun, then thrust his interlocked arm, trying to place Kashima in the middle. Dance, woman-dressed-as-man, dance!

Koishi? Miss a party with cherry blossoms? Not a chance! The little youkai had not quite recovered from her ordeal with the bay and lights, but she was certainly doing better. And viewing the cherry blossoms was just what the moon doctor ordered.

She drifted into the party, third eye bobbing from side to side. She was dressed in her usual sunny yellow shirt and green rose print skirt. She had swapped her hat ribbon out with a long yellow one, several dried roses slipped into the knot. She was quite relaxed for now. No doubt she would be excited by something later on. But for now, she was content.

Karla continued to back away, but soon found herself surrounded by the dancers. She tried to put as much distance as she could between her and the one dancer who had separated herself.

"What's going on...?"

Completely oblivious to any warnings Charlotte wandered very much into Medicine's tree-space, stumbling a little on her short legs. Inevitably she did end up tripping, tumbling a short distance right into Medicine. The little witch barely half the height of the living doll and far less threatening with her squishy-soft body. Like a plush toy.

She rolled over, taking a good few seconds to struggle back up to her feet, sleeve covered hands held out to either side as she regained her balance before dropping back down. It was only then that she actually seemed to notice Medicine's presence.

"Hello. Do you have cheese?"

Eventually, if only to keep up the pace, one of the dancers emerged from the perimeter, fanning herself like a peacock before returning. "Circle to the left!" The circle moved that direction, while Ted slipped off and broke himself out of the group as they danced away.

Grinning, he nonchalantly walked over to Karla. "So! Would you say you've been annoyed?"

Karla only blinked at him as the pieces gradually fell into place.

"Well...confused is more like it. So, you did all that just to 'annoy' me?"

Knowing that, how could she not laugh?

"Nice try. I applaud your efforts, though."

"Haha. I wish I had, if only to more fully deserve something so comically even-tempered. In truth, my oxymoron trade of "professional dancer" lent itself well to the festivities. I was only too happy to selfishly leverage it into...well, that. But now my chicks have all grown up, and as you can see, have quite gotten away from me." Ted move forward, making himself at home on the mat and brushing away trampled foodstuffs.

"Apologies; what their feet lack in propriety they make up for in energy. There much dancing, where you're from?"

"I see..." Karla shrugged as she sat back down on the mat.

"I've seen some dancing on occasion during my journey."

She tilts her head slightly at the newcomer. Medicine doesn't directly try to shoo her off. Clearly this wasn't a human--was it a youkai? The newcomer looked like a...toy? It made her curious.

So she limps a little closer. The doll is favoring her right leg, since while it couldn't be seen because of her long skirt her left was bound with tape around the knee. Such was the trouble of attacking a criminal mastermind.

"Cheese? I don't eat cheese."

"And now, thanks to me, you've seen more. Has your journey ever led you into the midst of the thing, or have you always observed?"
