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.

β‹†πŸŒΈβ‚ŠΛšβŠΉβ™‘β€Λ–Β°πŸŒΈβ‹†

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!!

Feathers were remarkable things. They moved, at times, of their own accord, to aid with regulation of body temperature, or in response to unconscious reflex.

Right now, with a noise a bit like an umbrella being opened on a particularly windy day, every one stood on end, trying at once to make him look much bigger than he actually was. This, accompanied by a highly involuntary squawk as he jumped aside-

And, on finding what the source of the sudden noise was, attempted, by means of affecting a poker face to rival a champion cardshark, to look nonchalant about the whole thing, as though he hadn't just done what he had. "... Ren. You look nice."

It's everything Ren hoped for. He barely manages not to laugh, and probably only because of the distraction of the compliment. "Thanks. I felt like dressing up a little. Does that happen a lot, with the feathers?"

Huff. "All the goddamn time. You should swap notes with my dumbass brother, he thinks it's funny as hell too. Totally involuntary, too, which just makes matters worse."

Totally involuntary feather fluffing, huh? Ren's grin widens ominously as he considers the possibilities...
