Cherry Blossom Evening Party

You have received a private message:

Throughout the week, Hamuko has messaged the vast majority of people she's met so far - and eagerly invited them to come meet at Inokashira Park starting at 5pm.

⋆🌸₊˚⊹♡❀˖°🌸⋆

You're invited to an evening sushi-party-turned-hanami-picnic-party! I've organized a bunch of cognitive chefs and performers to come to that park on the listed date/time.

I've sent this to you because you were part of one of the three teams that helped with fighting Fatalis or rescuing Falcon and Wolf (or are Falcon and Wolf themselves!!) - we've all busted our butts a lot lately, so I think we deserve to have something nice together too!

Of course, the party is open if you have any +1s or more. But before spring turns into summer, let's celebrate what we've all accomplished together!

The Venue...


Inokashira Park has a lovely river and trail and a phenomenal collection of cherry blossom trees. They're in the tail end of their season, filling the air with petals like snowfall.

In a large open area, Hamuko's arranged a ton of picnic blankets for people to claim and sit down on, though each blanket is HUGE to accommodate people sitting with as many people as they can handle! There are cozy pillows for sitting on too, stacked neatly to be borrowed.

There's a truly humongous row of tables laid out with an impressive amount of sushi presented. With a few trucks nearby, it seems there's a few sushi chefs making fresh platters of it to lay out through the night.

Similarly, there are food carts along the trails if you're not in the mood for sushi and would rather have some more traditional fare like dango, taiyaki, matcha, takoyaki... it's got the place lively and smelling fantastic! There's sake for the adults, and some cherry-blossomed themed mocktails for minors.

Activities

There's a few set out activities besides just chowing down and socializing or walking along the lantern-lit trails under the cherry blossoms! Inoshikara Park has always had cute little swan pedal boats or regular rowboats for 'rental' (not that money matters here).

The area is SO pretty, perfect for taking pictures to have as keepsakes. There's even a booth to claim a yukata and privately change into it, if you want to go the extra mile!

Finally, in lieu of a traditional band or modern concert, Hamuko has picked out a large set of speakers connected to a small karaoke stage and screen - menace the party with your sing-along! Get a little boost to your Guts!!

"It ought to be really nice!! Did you want any copies of the photos I plan on taking, once I get them printed?" she asked, patting the disposable camera she had tucked into here obi for the moment.

Kaitou shrug. "Sure."

Might as well bring something to his apartment to remember this moment. He's trying to build his collection back up of sentimental things, though it depends on when parties get thrown. He's glad that things have slowed down again.

Hamuko took a second to grab a plate and get some sushi for herself, eagerly snagging eel, cucumber, tuna...

"I did have some juice boxes set aside and they're being refrigerated in the truck, if you ever need any!"

She hums a bit in delight shoveling the tuna in her mouth. YUM...

[vampirethief]

Oh good, that's a relief.

"I'll be sure to grab a couple later." Kaitou's thankful he can eat sushi no problem. Even if it's not as filling as lesser shadows, and especially blood.

He eats his own, though he has to balance the parasol with one of his arms so he has both hands free.

"Have you been taking it easy? I swear I passed out for a few days after that, hehe."

In between chatting, she popped another bite of sushi in her mouth, pleased as punch.

[vampirethief]

"I'm fine. Only needed a day to rest and some blood juice boxes, no problem."

He did have to take a little longer after the fight with Fatalis but that was mostly being tired from being brought back from actual death. Plus he's pretty tough. Head weakness not withstanding.

"That's good! I was soooo sluggish, poor Koromaru had to deal with me dragging my feet, hahah. You should come over and meet him sometime, if you haven't met him or Shinjiro yet!"

[vampirethief]

"I haven't yet."

Kaitou hasn't had a chance to meet either of them. He should visit that area one of these days. He's more familiar with Tokyo and Inaba at this point.

"You'll have to come by sometime! Maybe I can introduce you on the way to dragging you to karaoke?" she teased, with a slightly mischievous giggle. "Or the arcade, if that's your speed!"

[vampirethief]

"Arcade does sound like fun. I used to be pretty good at Gun About at this one arcade in Tokyo."

So if there's any shooting games, Kaitou would be interested in that. If not, he's pretty sure he could find something that peaked his interest.
