008 | Sakura 2.0: You Can (Not) Have A Picnic

Who: Everyone!
What: Sakura picnic
When: Evening April 25
Where: The same sakura park as last time
Summary: Amaterasu has had a request to return to view the cherry blossoms one more time and she has decided to make it happen.



The cherry blossoms have yet to all fall from the trees, and so the Heavens have seen fit to hold another blossom viewing - this time with a picnic instead! The trees themselves do not have the ethereal glow they had last time, but there is a sweet scent that fills the air, drawing anyone inexorably towards the beautiful trees.

As a surprise, Amaterasu has sent her counselors to join the picnic as well. They can be found wandering around and enjoying the sights and foods just the same as anyone else.

All new arrivals will have been whisked away to the picnic by Amaterasu's shinki so that they can enjoy this escape just the same as everyone else. It seems Amaterasu doesn't want to leave anyone out this time, and so many of her shinki are milling around as well, clad in white with the golden chrysanthemum embroidered on their outfits.



Picnic

Dozens upon dozens of brightly colored picnic blankets have been provided for the guests to use. On top of that, pre-packed picnic boxes have been provided as well. They range from American-esque picnic baskets all the way to Japanese style bentos. Everyone is free to take as many boxes as they would like to and share among each other. Every picnic box has something different for everyone to enjoy.

Cherry Blossoms

The blossoms are falling freely now, showing that they are on their last leg of life. But the scent of the cherry blossoms has become so intense that it draws anyone who smells it towards the trees. You might find that if you breathe in too deeply or too long, it's like an intoxication equivalent to having drunk all night long. Good luck keeping up straight!

Performance

A performance stage has been erected in the park by the Heavens and there are a number of shinki who will sing and dance or perform in other ways whenever they have a spare moment. Gods and their shinki are encouraged to get up on the stage and perform as well, if they have anything that they would like to perform for their fellows.

Fire

Around sunset, the festivities will come to a screeching halt as a sudden burst of flames spreads through the trees, igniting them one by one. The spread of the fire is so rapid that it is very obviously unnatural. It will take a lot of teamwork and a large number of hands to put the fire out - or maybe you prefer to just run away. Either way, it will be hard to miss the pieces of paper that fly through the air, all bearing the same words: Down with the Heavens! Down with Amaterasu!



In Summary:
  • Enjoy the cherry blossoms
  • Enjoy the picnic food
  • Meet Amaterasu's counselors
  • View or participate in the performance
  • Put out the fire
  • Have fun~

[Yukine had been looking up at the tree contemplatively - he is biased towards Suzuha's tree, but the colour of the blossoms on this one are pretty nice... and the shape of the branches too. He wonders if he can prune Suzuha's tree just a little...

At the sudden warning he looks around quickly, and winces. His head feels light? But he automatically follows her advice and breathes shallowly before asking,]


Why?

[Having been called out of his daze he's now aware of not only the dull ache behind his lightheadedness, but his stomach... feels upset... did he eat too much? That's impossible for a shinki, right?]
dominatriarch: ([....] | And I don't wanna wait)

always so eventful...

[ Oh dear... it looks a little too late for Yukine. He's looking a little flushed. Better keep an eye on the poor kid. Mostly out of pity for him feeling like shite. ]

There's something happening with the sakura. Someone's possibly enchanted it to cause something close to drunkenness...

[ She's looking up at that tree with much ire now. ]

returnedfromtheline: (/ hit the nail on the head)

What? Why would-- Drunk? I'm underage! [He... doesn't know how old he is, but for sure he's underage!

He's already forgotten about not breathing too deeply. And thoughts are bit hard to put into straight lines right now.]


The sakura...?

[So Bishamonten-sama is saying the sakura is bad? Yato had said that once, too. With a sullen frown he takes an unsteady step backwards away from her, which brings him further under the branches of the tree.]
dominatriarch: ([...] | Before I walk away)

As we're all well aware.

[ Nothing on you being underage, Yukine. It's just kinda obvious you're under the legal drinking age. There's a sigh though. ]

I can imagine whoever was responsible for this location could have enchanted the trees to make sure we keep the atmosphere festive.

[Maybe under a better situation Yukine would be a happy-drunk see: Capypa Land. But right now what he's hearing only makes him laugh scornfully.]

'Festive'? Only stupid things happen when people get drunk! Hah. What a stupid idea. Getting drunk is stupid.

[As he goes on his voice gets softer and he bends over slightly, clutching at his stomach. Stupid...]
dominatriarch: ([...] | Oh dont you dare look back)

[personal profile] dominatriarch 2016-09-19 01:17 pm (UTC)(link)
It is when it gets out of hand.

[ Nope no more emotional outbursts for her. That's the last time she's ever going to-- oh dear.

Moving to steer him away from the trees. ]


Step away from the sakura. It might be best we get you away from them until Yato comes to collect you.
returnedfromtheline: (A; master scum)

[personal profile] returnedfromtheline 2016-09-19 02:14 pm (UTC)(link)
[Are stupid drunks ever in hand?
At the god's hands on him guiding him away from the tree he weakly follows. But that statement gets him fired up again.]


C-collect? That's stupid. I don't need to be 'collected' by- that, that-- !! [Tripping over an uneven patch of ground (or perhaps his own feet) Yukine stumbles and collapses to his knees.
And stays there, breathing raggedly, his head bent low between his arms. I'm gonna be sick- I'm gonna be sick- He doesn't know how he knows because he hasn't been sick since becoming a shinki, but he knows.

And realizing that Bishamonten-sama is still there, his stomach clenches in cold dread. Which does not help matters one bit.]

You could both do to keep each other out of trouble if either of you are stuck in this state.

[ But it isn't to say she doesn't have any mercy for Yato's hafuri. She's not that heartless. Instead, she pauses to take aside one of the white clad shinki with two requests: find Yatogami, tell him his shinki isn't feeling well... and please bring them both some tea.

There's a hand on his back after her request is made, directing him to a clear patch of grass away from the crowd. ]


Let it out.
