005 | Sakura In The Night

Who: Everyone!
What: Cherry blossom viewing
When: Nighttime March 26, 2016
Where: A park with sakura trees
Summary: Heaven is throwing a small party to view the sakura and let everyone relax.



After the absolute disaster that happened with handing out chocolates, the Heavens are tripping over themselves to make up for their inability to properly handle the situation. They are eager to make amends and assure everyone that they are hardworking individuals who want nothing more than to make everyone's stay here enjoyable or at least pleasant. To that end, they have invited all of the gods and shinki to a lovely flower viewing, since the sakura are in season.

And by 'invited', they mean 'mandatory', of course. You will accept their apology, whether you like it or not.

It's not all bad, though. The Heavens have provided various kimonos that can be worn, if you haven't brought your own, but you're not required to wear a kimono. They would, however, really like it if you did wear them. It's very traditionally Japanese, after all.

The party is taking place at night so that you can all hide your merrymaking from the Near Shore residents and also because the night sky is beautiful against the cherry blossoms. So try to at least enjoy yourselves while you're here.



Banquet

Every kind of food imaginable is available for your eating pleasure. On top of that, there are dozens of different kinds of desserts ready to be devoured as well. For the older crowd, booze has been provided and is being served by white-clad shinki bearing the golden chrysanthemum of Amaterasu. They are, however, refusing to serve alcohol to anyone who looks too young to drink, sorry guys.

Cherry Blossoms

The blossoms are absolutely gorgeous this year, and they are at the peak of their blooming right now. Nearly every single bud has bloomed and the pink petals are floating by everywhere you go. There is an ethereal light emanating from each of the trees, lighting up the area with a soft, pink light, yet it doesn't seem to be drowning out the brightness of the stars at all. It really is the most beautiful cherry blossom viewing anyone could ever hope for.

"Secret" Corner

Somehow, the Heavens have managed to make one small corner of the grotto into a completely secluded area. There is no marking or signs to indicate what this corner should be used for, but anyone entering it will suddenly realize that this is a place for lovers to meet privately. Only those that you enter the corner with will be able to notice your presence, and you will be unable to notice anyone else's presence as well. Enjoy yourselves, young ones!

Counselling

Off to the side, there is a tiny table set up with a small, nicely written sign that reads "Gentle Counselling". On the other side of the table is a sweetly smiling shinki who is willing to listen to your problems and answer any questions you might have. She is also here to help out any gods that are having a hard time dealing with knowing about how their shinki died and any shinki that is having trouble coming to terms with the fact that they are dead. Counselling will also gladly be offered to anyone who is still pissed off or upset in any way about what happened after White Day.



In Summary:
  • Enjoy the cherry blossoms
  • Eat lots of good food
  • Promise it's not poisoned
  • Spend time with people you like
  • Meet the newbies
  • Have fun~

[They don't really know each other, but the sheer emotion of the situation compels Omi to put a hand on the boy's shoulder as an act of support. He sympathizes, he truly does. He knows from Weiss the frustration and despair of the collateral damage.]

You did all you could. No one could have asked more of you-- including yourself. Think of the ones you did save; your efforts weren't meaningless. You made a huge difference for them.

[He sighs quietly, but doesn't look up just yet.

He wishes he was "elected" into this whole god business after he was an official hero, he might be better at dealing with catastrophes like this if he was.]


Yeah... I still- If I was better I could have done more.

[He's really being too hard on himself...]

You can't change what's already happened, but you can channel your regrets into action for the future. If there's something you want to do better, you can practice and train for improvement. Then next time, you will be better.

[He's just like this.]

Y... Yeah.

I just need to keep working on getting stronger. Someday I'm going to become the best hero.
oneblackcat: (count me in)

[personal profile] oneblackcat 2016-06-30 04:08 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah-- you are!

[An encouraging nod and smile.]

What's this hero's name? I'm Omi.

I'm Deku. Nice to meet you, Omi.
oneblackcat: (plotbrain is go)

[personal profile] oneblackcat 2016-07-05 04:57 am (UTC)(link)
Nice to meet you, too, Deku. I'm saddened to hear about the incident with the chocolates... you haven't by chance noticed anything weird about those that gave out the chocolates, have you? Something you saw, or a rumor you've heard, that didn't sit well?

[He pauses to think about it, but then he shakes his head.]

No, they seemed normal. I haven't heard any rumors about them either.

Sorry I can't help much more than that.
oneblackcat: (encouraging smile)

[Omi nods with a smile.]

I understand. Thanks for your help.
