Open;
Who: Nanako and EVERYONE!
When: Early March
Where: The BRAND NEW Shelter of Nanshe in the Central District
What: Nanako's Temple has moved and gotten a makeover! So this seems the perfect time to have a party and also to watch the blooming cherry blossoms!
[ Nanako's Temple had moved once before, so that in itself wasn't all that surprising, especially after almost an entire year here now. But she hadn't been expecting the Temple to change completely, adding more rooms and more of a homier vibe than the shrine had had before. Parts of it reminded her a little more of what her big brother's temple had felt like when he'd been here, and she's grateful for that, although she's a little worried because there seems to be so many rooms that she keeps finding in so many nooks and crannies. Maybe her temple just goes on forever now?
Either way, the move timed as it is seems like the perfect excuse to throw a big picnic outdoors on the grounds around her temple, which seems perfectly suited to host a large number of her friends over at any given time. And with her temple surrounded by cherry trees, their blossoms full and colorful right now, it makes the setting an inviting little corner to sit an mingle for a while.
The day before, every single temple in the Heavens would have found a carefully-crafted invitation on their doorstep, the words carefully written out in a childish hand, inviting them to a Cherry Blossom Viewing at Nanshe's Shelter. There's even a carefully drawn little map on the back to show them where to go, since Nanako doesn't want anyone getting lost on their way to the new location.
There are blankets laid out in the grass beneath the trees and on the wood and stone patios are little tables and chairs clustered together invitingly. There is food set out on a stretching buffet, the platters somehow never seeming to run low on food. There are decorations strung up along the outside of the temple and around the trees in pink and creams, although some of them certainly look to have been made or put up by decidedly childish hands.
As for the goddess herself, she flits about the party with a bright smile, happy to see everyone who shows up and making sure her friends are having fun, or maybe introducing herself to anyone she hasn't met yet. ]

[Sora seems to perk up at this note. How cool are weddings? Pretty cool.]
How's that going? Is there a lot of things you have to figure out? Why do you think it's going to be terrible??
no subject
[Leo can't help the smile. Even without his memories, Sora's excited.]
It's going well, and we're handling it all easily. Sometimes, though, you just get irrationally worried about things. I find a way to handle that is to look up the worst case scenario and reassure myself that it could never go that poorly, because I am not a moron.

[Sora moves to sit down to chat. He's not going anywhere now.]
Even if something does wrong everyone will remember the good parts why they're at the wedding, though. Right? To see you guys get married. At the end of the day that'll be the important part. People will smile and shrug off if decorations fall down or something.

[Sora why.]
And it's the feeling of amusement at someone else's misfortune, like when that one bastard finally gets what he deserves for hitting on all the women in the party.

The man's explanation of the foreign word has Sora blinking and then frowning a little.]
So, I guess it's a good word. For the most part.
no subject
[Oh. He should. Probably introduce himself.]
Leo, by the way.

[Like a lion. Sora smiles warmly.]
I'm Sora. I'm sort of new around here so I don't know a lot of people yet but I'm glad to get to meet some of the people Nanako knows. It's nice to meet you.

Still, I feel like it's a pretty good day to make a new friend. I'm glad I got to meet you.
