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~

[Zangetsu's shock and confusion hits her at the same time she senses someone breaking into--shikai?

There's another shinigami here? And one whose reiatsu is somewhat familiar.

Despite the lingering unsteadiness from the cherry blossoms, she launches into shunpo, unerringly heading for the fight. From a distance she can see Zangetsu locked into a fight with--Kensei?

Clamping down on herself with cold focus, her own reiatsu swells and arcs as she shoots towards them, preparing to intervene--violently if she has to.]


Kensei! Zangetsu! [Flickering into sight, she draws her fist back and punches the ground just before them. It's hard enough to rock their footing, blasting a small crater a couple of yards wide.]

Stand the fuck down. Both of you.

Why don't YOU die! [the Hollow snarls, his voice wildly distorted. He digs his claws into the fist, drawing blood (what a sweet smell!). Kensei's leg moves and Zangetsu also moves to claw into that when he feels a familiar reiatsu coming closer.

Then a familiar voice, and a huge impact. It's enough to shake him out of his predatory rage
]

S... Sensei...!

[Zangetsu dislodges from Kensei and scrambles away, grabbing up his dropped sword. He's a little battered, bleeding, but healing quickly. He points his blade accusingly at Kensei] He attacked me! I wasn't even doing anything, I swear! [No blight stings Yoruichi's skin, so he's not lying]

[The moment he feels that reiatsu, he jumps back away, jumping away from the impact and letting himself sting the moment he was able to get out. He held his knife, narrowing his eyes before he turned to her.]

Yoruichi! What the hell is a hollow doing here?!

[He's not done with you yet.]
skyleopardess: (words are coming out of your mouth)

[Yoruichi quickly gets between them, ending the fight for now.]

The same thing the rest of us are. [She snaps it at Kensei, looking away from Zangetsu for a moment.] You don't think he just moved here for the weather, do you?

[Belatedly, she realizes he'd said a Hollow. Not Ichigo's Hollow. How can he remember her but not Ichigo?]

I believe you. [If Kensei didn't recognize him, she can completely see him attacking first and asking questions never. Her eyes flick over to Zangetsu, still keyed up from the recent fight.] Now tell me what the hell happened.

[It's a weird mix of feelings he has. This guy attacked him, and he's thankful Yoruichi stepped in... but at the same time, he was going to kill that guy. And eat him. He wanted to, and his blood smelled delicious. He pouts and licks the blood off his claws.

(How could any one thing taste so good? Urk... He had to focus.)

He points at Kensei again, gesturing wildly with his sword
]

This guy! I was just walking by with my bentos and he said something, so I answered... and then he yelled about me bein' a Hollow, pulled out that knife, and started attacking me! I defended myself!

[he just came here to have a good time and honestly he's feeling so attacked right now]
