Multicoloured kindnesses, met by chance, one by one

Who: Yuna and EVERYONE. No CR? No problem, drop on by to make new friends!
When: March 21st, all day
Where: Shinju's Temple
What: Hanami birthday party yayayay

[With a blanket invitation delivered, the only matter of business left is ensuring the temple is set up nicely for a gathering!

The main attraction of the day, of course, being flower-viewing in the temple's courtyard. With light snacks and refreshments lined up at tables inside the building itself and blankets and pillows available to pick up for lounging under the flowering branches, the 'viewing' part of the day should be set. As winds blow lazily through the area, blossoms in an array of colors are occasionally shaken free from the tree, falling in gentle showers to the ground below, creating a serene, relaxing atmosphere. A handful of paper lanterns have been strategically placed around the grounds as well, ensuring that anyone who happens to arrive or stay as the sun sets can still have a good view.

Elsewhere in the temple, the room Yuna uses largely for crafts appears to have spilled over somewhat. There are a few stands set up with origami paper, watercolors and brushes arranged at a table with a few chairs, card stock, glue, colored pencils, stickers, ribbons, and most importantly, there are flowers. There are flowers everywhere. Some arranged tastefully in vases, some dried and pressed and left alongside the other craft supplies, clearly for use in tandem with whatever you feel like making with the other things left out in such a tantalizing way. Go ahead. Make some stuff.

And, while the invitation had been extended to pretty much anyone wanting to drop by, should any of Yuna's friends decide to stay a little longer, she'll let them know of a cozy hot spring bath in one of the back rooms of the temple. Towels will be provided, of course, so why not stay and have a soak to wind the day down with?

The hostess herself will be roaming about the party in high spirits, ready and willing to top up beverages, share a snack, or just have a nice chat. So - kick back! Enjoy the sights!]

Cherry-pick what you're okay with, ignore the rest? Gods always had aspects that were more or less important in a given era.

[ Caster takes a look at how it goes, and when he sees she got that, alright- He figures how to make a simple addition to the crown, in form of this.

Crafting in the company of beautiful girl isn't a bad way to spend time, but he does get a bit bored of silence. ]


Why the flower crown?

[personal profile] trustheart 2019-01-26 10:28 pm (UTC)(link)
I basically do do that. But them still praying to me means I've still gotta filter out those kinds of prayers, which is the annoying part.

[She shook her head.]

But I'm managing somehow.

If they notice no response, maybe they will stop? [ What was Ishtar goddess of? Grail infodump doesn't help that much in cases that are not heroes, but he did his research on the mythologies in his time here. War? Love? Something like that ]

But I get what you mean. I had once spent a week part-timing at a bar. No idea what it has to do with me, but it was an enjoyable experience.

I... do not really know, actually. But there is something to their nature that calms me, brings small joys into my life. [ And given how her emotional state most of the time was most accurately described as "depression", she took what she could get. ]

I often give them as gifts, particularly to my goddess, the Lady Sancus, Goddess of Oaths.

[ Love, war, justice, political power... and also sex and desire. A bit much to expect of a young woman, let alone someone with Chris's life experiences. ]

I'm not really sure those situations are similar. But. Yeah, I'm kinda hoping they will. Still, I hope someone else picks up on that...

... The ones that don't come from total creeps, anyway.

Oh hey, you're the kite boy!

[ Mordred does sometimes pay attention when Yuna talks about her other friends. ]

Romero, right?

[ ...Okay, she doesn't pay super close attention. ]

[ Mordred continues to glower at him. For a second it seems like she's about to go for a gut punch but then the moment passes.

Mordred shakes her head, brushing his hand aside. ]


Nah, it isn't that, I just...

[ She hesitates to admit that something is genuinely bothering her, especially when she should be enjoying Yuna's party. But then again Caster might actually be able to offer some insight.

Mordred gives a sharp sigh before turning away and plopping herself back onto the steps. A few moments pass and it seems like she isn't going to say anything further.

Then... ]


Were you over at that River Festival a little while ago. You know, the one with the boats?
roundtablerebel: (22)

[personal profile] roundtablerebel 2019-01-27 02:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Antlers!

[ Oh no...

Horrified, Mordred scrambles down the steps over to her friend. Kneeling beside Minako she hurriedly looks her over for any serious injuries and even though there doesn't appear to be any errant bones sticking out, Mordred still hesitates to touch the other shinki. ]


Shit, that looked really bad! You're not dead, are you?
futhark: (89)

[personal profile] futhark 2019-01-27 04:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Hmmm... think if you make traps for the creeps they would stop praying to you?

[ Kind of like, divine misfortune for that kind of people? I have heard your prayers AND I DON'T LIKE THEM, go somewhere else ]

Sorry, you have to go through that, tho.
reloves: (♀ i knew that you had a girlfriend)

[personal profile] reloves 2019-01-27 07:03 pm (UTC)(link)
I was already dead..

[ Apparently she's at least still doing okay enough to make those kind of remarks in return to what Mordred is saying. And it's true - she doesn't look like she has any really bad injuries. Mostly just a lot of bruises and she's going to be really, really sore in the morning.

And right now she's kind of in a daze. For obvious reasons. Hence why she's not getting up just yet. ]


Geez, you're so strong...

[ Elfnein draws a standard =^_^= type face with the marker, it's cute and simple. ]

Is there a way to make a dog as well? It'll be a matching set then.
alchemists: (Look at all these new notes)

[personal profile] alchemists 2019-01-27 08:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Practice makes perfect, that's the phrase for that sort of thing I believe.

[ Elfnein knows that not everything is perfect on the first try, if anything it's taken a lot of time and effort to learn basic things like cooking and taking care of someone else. ]
myblueskies: (smiles all round)

[personal profile] myblueskies 2019-01-27 09:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes! I'm Romeo! [He doesn't seem to mind the slight mispronunciation.] I don't know your name miss!
trustheart: (037)

[personal profile] trustheart 2019-01-28 12:14 am (UTC)(link)
... I guess I could at least make sure I take prayers that punish people like that.

[She waves it off, sighing.]

Look, don't worry about it. I have to adapt, like I said. I won't get anywhere if I let this affect me too much. It's just like life.

[Chris blinks for a moment.]

Ah... Shinju, like the divine tree? Oh yeah, that was in your BBS message. Either way, it's good to meet you, Yuna.

Got it, topic over. [ Adapt to what life throws at you, here it's a very sound way to go on ] So what, guess it means it's back to me, huh?

[ She did answer his questions, so... Probably time to answer what is his deal ]

What- why a dog? Are you implying something?

[ Caster, chill, not everyone want to call you a dog. She just said- ]

--matching set. Right.

[ Grumpily, he starts to figure out this doggo ]

And live flowers can be rare at this time of year. [ Though soon they will be blooming everywhere. He finishes few of those simpler flowers in various colors, and adds them to the to-be-a-crown-soon pile ]

You must live with a good goddess. [ Goddess of Oaths, that's a good responsibility to represent ]
