video ❀ colorful leaves
from: Konohanasakuya-hime
date: 12 November
Pardon me, but I have a question. Uhm... the leaves are a beautiful color this time of year, don't you think?
In this realm, there appears to be a custom w-where people come together to observe the foliage. They go to parks and gardens a-and all sorts of places to, well... I suppose to relax and take in the moment? I was thinking... I-I'd like to enjoy something like that.
My shrine's grounds are lovely but... ( She'll move the camera some to show her gardens through an open door. There are some fall colors-- bright golds and brilliant reds-- but what stands out the most are the whites and pinks of fluffy cherry blossoms, perpetually in bloom even this late in the year. ) ... It's n-not exactly what I'm looking for.
I-I was thinking of going some place this week. Friday, perhaps? ( She holds up a flyer, ducking behind it to show the camera. There's a large white castle illuminated and surrounded by red and golden trees at night. The text on the flyer is promoting a seasonal illumination. For those with memories of Sakura's world, the castle in the picture might look familiar... ) It's supposed to be the best time to see the colors there.
If anyone would like to go, please let me know. The more the m-merrier! ... Right?
( ooc: Sakura will be hosting an autumn viewing (IC) ~17 November. I'll throw up a log for that next week! )

I'm Goku, by the way!
no subject
( Oh, huh. So Goku isn't a student? Ah... so wait, that must mean... Goku is a friend from Hakkai's world? She's happy for Hakkai. It's nice to be remembered and to know your friends are well. )
Goku-san. ( Sakura is as formal as ever, sorry. ) I'm Sakura. I-it's nice to meet you.
no subject
[Never formal, never ever formal. He at least won't bug Sakura about her own language though, Hakkai can be pretty polite too.]
Are you a healer or something then? If you're at the clinic. That's so cool!
no subject
I am. ( Nodding, ) I was a healer in m-my realm a-and I can still heal here so... I want to do what I can to help. Especially since s-so many people here have been so kind to me...
no subject
That's great! That kind of thing is really awesome. [He says as someone who has occasionally been really badly beat up and in need of healing. Always appreciate your support characters, guys.] Are you really busy?
no subject
A-at the clinic? Sometimes... I think most people here are t-taken care of here a-and I have a lot of help but sometimes... sometimes things can get a little busy.
no subject
[He definitely looks impressed by her. Still not holding the phone properly, so his face is kind of weirdly cropped, but at least he's not one inch away from the camera anymore.]
Do you fight as well as do healing stuff? [She looks like a cute girl, but hey. You never know.]
no subject
She ducks her head down, frowning to herself and looks away. The easy answer is yes. Yes, she can. But it really isn't that simple, )
... I can. ( She's quiet. It's embarrassing to talk about because she's weak and she hates talking about it because she dislikes fighting so much, ) I-I had to learn to protect the people I love, too.
( It can't be seen in the camera but she's turning her hands nervously in her lap, )
I can use a bow a-and magic but... I'm not very good. At least, not compared to others. I'd rather heal but I can't stay back wait w-when others are getting hurt.
no subject
I think that's really cool too though. That you learned how to protect yourself and other people while healing them as well. Even if it's just enough that you can stay close to your friends and heal them when they need you to, that's amazing. Things like bows can be really hard to use and I can't use magic at all! All I'm good at is hitting people.
[Which he's fine with. He can hit people in all kinds of creative ways.]
no subject
He.. hehe. Really? ( That's all? ) Then what do you like to do w-when you aren't fighting, Goku-san?
no subject
All kindsa stuff, I guess. I like eating a lot! And I like traveling around and seeing new things... and eating new things... Like, the other day I was explorin' and I found this little shop and they had these rice triangle things all wrapped up in plastic and seaweed and inside they were full of all kinds of different foods! Those were great!
[He found a konbini ten feet away from a shrine in Japan and bought his first onigiri. It was wonderful. He knows a lot of Japanese foods but he's never actually been there before now.]
no subject
Onigiri? ( Ah, is this someone not from Japan? She's begun to learn some of the patterns in this realm. A lot of people in the Heavens once hailed from some version of this country but many more seem to come from other realms all together. ) They're quite common in this realm.
Perhaps.... we can share some recommendations? I've been trying quite a few things w-with my shinki since I've been here...
no subject
They tasted delicious! [He may have bought ten at once and scoffed the bunch. He's a growing boy.] Yeah, yeah, recommend stuff! I only just got here so I wanna try everything!
What kind of food do you like, Sakura? If I find anything else good, I'll tell you!
no subject
Uhm... ( What if her recommendations aren't good enough, though? She seems shy all over again as she considers her options, ) I like sweets.
( And frowning just a little, )
I suppose... most boys d-don't like sweets very much, though?
( It's what she's heard, at least. She knows it isn't necessarily true... Hayato had liked sweets plenty but had kept it hidden. )
no subject
[Anything. Like hell is Goku letting gender roles screw him out of any kind of food.]
Anything with peaches is really good! Ah, and strawberries and pears and apples and persimmons!
no subject
( She's really not sure why boys don't like sweets. They've never really explained it to her. Most had said sweets were childish but... those same people really weren't that much older than her if at all. )
M-me, too! My favorite is cherries! In the spring, I had the m-most wonderful cherry jelly... ( Because of course Sakura would like cherries. Is anyone surprised? ) I-I don't think peaches are in season anymore... or strawberries or pears...
Oh, but apples and persimmon are! ( Which means its the best time of year to try apple and persimmon flavored things. ) I've always liked dried persimmon but, hmm... I passed the most delightful bakery a few days ago a-and it had apple pies! You could smell them from outside. They looked so good! ( She's practically gushing just thinking about them. ) I've never had apple pie before b-but I heard it's supposed to be one of the best ones so I've been wanting to try it for some time.
no subject
[Good on you, Goku. Favouring healthy sugars. Not that he's about to turn down anything else.]
Aw man, apple pie sounds really good! I wanna try it too! Hey, if you go, let me go with you! If it's the best one then I really wanna try it!
no subject
( She might be a little guilty of indulging a little too much. She's gotten better since she was younger, though, okay. The way Goku just casually invites himself along as her turning a shade of pink and she holds her face, looking away. This is.... rather forward, isn't it? Well, she never mentioned she was a princess to him so there isn't any reason for him to worry about things like status. )
Uhm.... oh... I don't mind i-if you don't mind going with me.. I'd like that very much, Goku-san. I was afraid one might be too m-much for me but if we can share... I think it'll work out wonderfully!
no subject
Yeah, that sounds like fun! [Why is she so pink all of a sudden? Did she want to eat the pie all on her own? But she seems happy too. Maybe it's just really warm where she is.] We can try it together and if it's really good then we can get a bunch of them!
no subject
A b-bunch?! ( How much is a bunch? She loves sweets but she honestly couldn't handle more than one pie for herself and her shinki to share? ) You mean... several of the same pies?
