Cherry Blossom Evening Party
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.
βπΈβΛβΉβ‘βΛΒ°πΈβ
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!!

"I just like whenever I don't need to put it on. Which makes rainy days nice."
Especially if it rains all day, so he has an excuse to have his umbrella up all day whenever he goes out.

"Mostly it would itch if I get unlucky enough to get sunburns which happened twice. First time was when I spent all day at the beach with the others to both test to see if Futaba can handle that many people, as well as welcome her to the team.
And the second time was in Hawaii. At the end of the trip, I ran out of sunscreen so I had no time to buy more. So by the time I was back in Japan, I was as red as a tomato."
Thank goodess for vampire fast healing. Sunburns go away the next day.

Granted being physically 16 forever isn't great. Though it's better than being actual dead rather than undead.
He does nod at the last part. "It's also why I continue to eat most normal food even though it doesn't do anything for me. It helps to feel human."

To be fair, a lot of vampire lore from media have turned out to be wrong most of the time. He wasn't sure if he could get killed but the battle with Fatalis proved that he can. It just happened to be that vampires have the same weakness as zombies.
"Also I can't get drunk from drinking alcohol. The only way I could get drunk is either I drink the blood of someone who's really hammered, or I drink zombie blood.
I'm kinda surprised the stores here haven't like put a bottle of zombie blood in the alcohol section yet. Considering that I can get blood juice boxes easily."
Knowing his luck, he might end up with zombie blood at some point and getting drunk again.

At that, Kaitou shrugs. "My best guess is it's maybe to do with the fact that blood circulation is slower in zombies. Or so I've been told."
Which does raise questions on how zombie bodies work exactly, but he tries not to think too hard on it. Same with vampire biology.

That's an odd comparison, he thinks, but it's the first that comes to mind. Let certain juices sit for too long, and they become fairly alcoholic.
no subject
Kaitou's not an expert on alocohol, but he has worked part-time for Lala-chan before. So he knows some things.
"I do wonder if that means that also applies to vampires. If my blood circulation is slower than normal humans." After all, he found out the hard way that vampires share the same weakness as zombies.
no subject
Well. It doesn't seem pleasant.

Kaitou wasn't planning it, but it could be something to do if he gets bored enough. Sorry Hiro, but looks like that's an idea that has now been planted into his mind for later.

Also dying the first time around, but who knows if he was always meant to be a vampire even if he hadn't gotten murdered.

He titters, his smile sheepish. "Oh, I mostly meant in terms of intoxication. Not to mention, it's rather a morbid thing to partake in. Then again, blood donations do exist..."
no subject
"There is that, true."
Which is something Kaitou avoids as much as possible. He refuses to drink from others and he hopes he can avoid being forced to do so as long as possible. Hopefully there won't come a time where he gets dangerously hungry and needs a donor.
