video ❀ colorful leaves

[festal]

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! )

( Elise would be proud. )

Oh... ( She hadn't thought about that, ) Maybe... sweets? But not dumplings. That would be... a little strange, wouldn't it?

[tacomeme]

Very strange. We wouldn't want to insult her or anyt- ugh, now you got me actually thinking about it.

[festal]

( And now she's giggling. Actually giggling. The jig is up, she can't be serious about this anymore. )

He... hehe! I'm sorry. ( She can't keep doing this without feeling mean. How does Elise do it? ) I'm not quite sure what she is b-but she seems to be important to the castle and she's really cute.

Whatever she is... I'd like to say hello. A-and maybe get a picture!

[tacomeme]

[ huffhuff!! But if anyone can get away with laughing at him, it's Sakura, so he's not really mad ]

Maybe she's more like a mascot. I guess we can go and visit her.

( At least she stopped before he seriously tried to give Shiromaru-hime a real gift. Wouldn't that be awkward? Especially since she can't speak. )

Please!

( She'd be the happiest sister in the world for the night. )

I wonder if there are any dolls... I've been thinking, I'd like to, uhm... start collecting again.

( Since her collection isn't here. She needs to start from the bottom and build up all over again. )

[tacomeme]

[ his smile softens in memory ]

Well, if it is a tourist place, odds are there will be merchants near by we could try. Maybe there will even be a doll of Shiromaru-hime.

( ...! How exciting. She has a few dolls already-- won from crane machines or small gifts given to her by her friends. But this will be the first one she's chosen for herself. )

Then... shall we go shopping together? Maybe we'll find something you like! ... Or someone else might like.
