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~

Cherry Blossoms

[Hinata isn't entirely watching where she's going either, the cherry blossoms finally gaining a stronger hold on her as she tries to get even closer to the trees.

Until Sasuke stumbling into her snaps her out of it. She knows she's smaller than other people, but this is the second time this has happened...]


Oh, no. It's fine.. Um, it's probably my fault any--

[She stops when she finally looks up at Sasuke. There's something so familiar about him, but no. No, it couldn't be him. Not with one arm and strange eyes. But that tone and look vaguely reminds her of younger, happier days.

Her brows furrow, and her mouth opens to say a name before she stops herself. Her thinking Sasuke is before her could just be because of whatever she's feeling, right?]

[ A Hyuuga. One he knows that he should know, but never gave much thought to, so for the moment, her name draws a blank. Then again, it's also possible that the reason for the memory blank is because he's having difficulty enough standing up let alone recalling a name for a face that was part of a past he had fought against for so long. Judging from her reaction to him, though, she probably knows who he is. ]

I don't exactly have any ulterior motives, if that's what you're wondering.

[ Not that it really matters here, but he's also of the mind that she thinks he would. Being able to read minds would be a great skill right about now, because jumping to conclusions due to a flower-induced buzz is not his strong point. ]
