oh god there's petals everywhere

Who: EVERYONE
What: CHERRY BLOSSOM FESTIVAL
Where: Outside on the mansion grounds where there are cherry blossoms that have magically not finished blooming yet this late into April
When: RIGHT NOW???
Warnings: Rated S for SHOJO

Stadiums and tournaments and rankings were all well and good, but they were lacking things that Flurrie felt were far too important to go ignored. Style! Beauty! Grace! Culture! This place needed more of it. Fortunately, with spring in full force, she had a fantastic idea to bring everyone together to celebrate just those things!

And so, a message appears on the bulletin board:



Underneath it was more information, including dates and a request to contact her if the reader were interested in hosting a booth at the festival.

When the day arrived for the festivities, the mansion's inhabitants will find a lovely grove of cherry blossoms decorated with streamers, flower arrangements, and numerous booths waiting for them. Where did Flurrie get all this? It is a mystery.

((OOC: Open mingle log! The booths can be absolutely anything you want- food, games, stuff for sale, magic tricks, etc, and your character is free to host one if they would be so inclined. It's not as big as past festivals obviously, but Flurrie tried.))

"I think it'll look great on you!" Rock declared, beaming happily once she relaxed. He wanted her to have as much fun as he was, after all! Hopefully Flurrie would be able to help them out. Otherwise Rock knew how to tie a yukata, he could probably help her... He stepped into a changing room to get into his own outfit first.

She dives into her own changing room soon after, full of determination to get pretty.

There's quite a long pause. Long enough Rock to finish up, in fact. Eventually:

"Uh. Rock? How d'you tie this thing? Is it in the front?" Wafts over the partition.

[megabuster]

"Ah!" He said as he finished up in his own dressing room. He emerged from it, and immediately set off to Lucca's. "It's a little complicated. Here, I can help you do that!" He exclaimed, opening the curtain without even thinking about it.

He froze in his tracks. It was as if a chorus of robotic cherubs decided now was the right moment to fill his head with the static blare of their trumpets. The sight of Lucca looking so pretty always managed to somehow derail his operating system, in a very good way. He caught himself staring after a moment. "...Right! Sorry... Do you need help?" He asked, embarrassed that once again, she made him lose composure. Love was a wonderful little bit of fuzzy logic.

Swathed in yellow and orange flowers, she startles reflexively when he opens the curtain, then notices her boyfriend's wide-eyed look and blushes. "Yeah, thanks." She says, smiling as she tucks a strand of hair behind her ear. She had just about figured out that the Obi goes around her waist, but the bow was a complete mystery. She hands him the errant ties, and flaps her sleeves up for him to reach around her waist.

"You look really nice by the way, Rock." She adds.

[megabuster]

"It's not exactly the most straightforward thing out there," Rock said, getting behind her to finish tying up the obi. "I did this for Roll last time too," he explained, focusing on his task until she had a lovely bow behind her. "There!" He exclaimed, giving her a hug when he was done.

[tempus_fixit]

She hugs back and nuzzles his hair for a moment. When they shuffle out she catches them both in the full-length mirror that's been set against a post. She can't help but stare for a moment.

"I... look like a lady. You know, like a princess or something."

The last G in the sentence doesn't quite make it from her lips, as she swallows down some weird emotion she doesn't want to address yet. She grins and shakes it off.

"This is a good idea. Come on, let's go enjoy the place!"

[megabuster]

Rock beamed happily at the sight of them together. He hugged her around her middle as he took in the sight. He paused only a moment as he could hear the slight trailing off in her voice, but seeing her immediately move on from it told him she didn't want to talk about it. Maybe later...

He smiled. "All right! Now that we fit the part!" He said. Turning his head, he called, "Thanks, um... Mrs. Robotnik...? Miss Flurrie?"

Wow that was weird.
