[It was all an impressive setup, really, but the bamboo stand and the slips of paper catch X's attention.

The last time he'd been at a Tanabata festival, it had been on duty, in response to a Maverick attack, and while they'd managed to react fast enough to prevent any casualties, Axl crashing a Ride Chaser into the goldfish scooping booth had kind of put a damper on things.

Might as well do now what he couldn't do then, right?

He takes one of the slips of paper and a pen and writes, very neatly, Peace and equality. ]

[Yuusei is already hanging his one up onto one of the branches with a small string, his glove sticking out of his pocket as he carefully attaches it to the bamboo and gives a light smile, satisfied. The singular name Kiryu, in somewhat shaky handwriting, is written on the small paper as he stands back to look at it hanging among the other wishes tied to the small, jutting branches.

There's something in him that tightens in his chest and he just lowers his head a bit, eyes shut for a moment of thought and reverence towards his lost friend.]

[kickasspacifist]

[X isn't one to interrupt what looks like a very personal moment, so he doesn't say anything as he leans forward to hang his own wish.

He accidentally brushes into Yuusei a bit as he steps back, though, and offers a quiet apology.]

Sorry, I didn't mean to run into you.

[speedsavior]

[Startled slightly, he opens his eyes and gives him a light nod.]

It's fine.

[He looks at the tree as a whole and then around the room before he looks back at X again.] This is all so amazing... [He fingers a flower in a curious manner, the bloom climbing its way up the wall along some vines.]

[Alistair arrived just a little past 8. He was never a very punctual person. He's carrying a large pot full of his famous amazing Ferelden stew (shut up you know it is) that he places on one of the tables. He almost trips in doing so, as he's too busy staring at the transformation of the place]

[aveclumiere]

[ Lightning's been a bit busy just occupying some space against the nearest wall, keeping a close eye on all the going on's of the "party" but she steps forward when she sees Alistair almost trip with his pot, her hand reaching out to steady him. ]

Careful.

[righteous]

[oh duh Alistair, he laughs nervously and smiles]

Heh, thanks. I was just a bit distracted from all...well this. [nd he points around the place and the flora]

[aveclumiere]

...first time seeing magic?

[ she releases her hold on him and crosses her arms over her chest. ]

[Jaime lets out a low whistle of appreciation as he enters the party. Nice. Very nice. It was kind of a relief to have something kind of normal, like a party, amongst all the craziness. Of course it was a party thrown by a wolf. He paused to study the bamboo, smell some flowers.]

[azulescarabajo]

"Is that what it's for? I've never seen something like this..."

[Jaime smiles at Yumi, scratching his head for a moment.]

[screamingftw]

[All of it was amazing, especially when he stepped back to take in the full effect of the altered main hall. Courage was especially amused at how the flowers always grew back into place after being picked. He ended up wandering around the room a bit before deciding to go cut himself a piece of cake.]

I'M SORRY I LOVE YOU

[dissentive]

[ NOISE OF DISGUST. Morrigan disapproves -10. ]

AND I'M SORRY FOR MY LATEFAIL

[screamingftw]

[Turns at the sound -- wasn't sure what it was being directed at. Morrigan, you now have a little pink dog holding a plate of cake and giving you a confused stare. Now what?]

LMAO ITS OKAY I LOVE YOU

[dissentive]

[ Stare. ]

Why do they allow so many animals within?

[antireaction]

[ He's been wandering around for just a few minutes, avoiding clusters of people and staying to the walls, his face impassive as he takes in the sights and smells around him. It's hard to smell out Darkness with all these flowers everywhere, but he's getting used to it.

And as pretty as it is, he can't help feeling a bit uneasy. Flowers... remind him a little too much of Marluxia.

But suddenly, he finds himself next to a whole freaking lot of them, and he'd been about to scrunch up his nose and leave when... another scent hit him. So, carefully pushing a bunch of them back, he's finding himself blinking down at Xion. ]

Oh, he- [ Oh crud. Pollen. Hahahaaaa- ACHOOO! ] ... [ Sniff sniff. ] Hey.

[antireaction]

[ I take it she's the annoying one, then? After all, Repliku refuses to be anything other than the "great" one.

And hey! It's not like he'd been expecting to sneeze! He'd just inhaled a great big glob of pollen, and now he's rubbing a finger under his nose and sniffling, looking positively miserable. Ugh. Flowers. He's coming to hate them. ]

Id's not like I mean'd too.
