OPEN | let's change from the heart, let's shout

Who: Anyone and everyone! That means you! Yes, you, c'mere.
Where: The stream and the lake.
When: July 12th, evening.
Rating: PG in case any of y'all get wild with that decorating.
Summary: Come and take part in a mini lantern ceremony, Wonderland-style. Mingle away, comrades!
The Story:





The evening of the 12th, visitors who feel like moseying their way to the stream where it empties out of the forest will be able to enjoy a summer celebration in the Japanese style. Outdoor lights illuminate the area, and tables hold all manner of art supplies and blank paper lanterns waiting to be decorated.

Didn't catch the network 411? Someone around will surely explain: it's a nod to toro nagashi, the paper lantern ceremony meant to guide the souls of the departed by decorating lanterns and setting them loose. Maybe you have a departed soul you'd like to remember, or a prayer to make. Maybe you'd just like to write a note message-in-a-bottle style. Maybe you just feel like taking the air and enjoying the sights. The choice is yours!

Either way, once the sun has set and lanterns have been decorated, the candles inside will be lit (remember fire safety, kids!), and the lanterns will be released into the water.

Gather at the lakeside afterward to watch them empty into the lake and enjoy the ambiance with some food and drink. Because we could all use a little more light in our lives, no?

Nothing at all? Surely, there might be something you desperately want in life.

[Right? She is human, after all.]

[Then again, he won't press her at the moment. There are other things on his mind.]


Do you have two spare lanterns? I'd like to join in.

I-I'll go get you one!

[she turns. and trips. SPLAT. right on the ground. And somehow this undid some of her kimono.]

Uuu...
theothermrgray: (behind me?)

[personal profile] theothermrgray 2017-07-25 07:34 pm (UTC)(link)
[... Well, there's a compromising position.]

Are you alright? Here, let me help you up. [He offers her a hand.]
naughty_nurse: (A Pretty Face Don't)

[personal profile] naughty_nurse 2017-07-25 09:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Uuu... I'm so sorry...

[Compromising positions are 99% of the positions Mikan takes.]
theothermrgray: (headtilt)

[personal profile] theothermrgray 2017-07-26 10:04 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't see why you ought to apologize...

[It's like she's doing it on purpose.]
naughty_nurse: (Doctor Doctor)

[personal profile] naughty_nurse 2017-07-26 10:34 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm so clumsy... I'm always messing things up.

[she might be. it's not impossible.]
theothermrgray: (wait)

[personal profile] theothermrgray 2017-07-27 05:31 am (UTC)(link)
You just tripped. It's not as if there's anything wrong with that.

[What is her goal, to get noticed?]

[He's still offering to help her up, by the by.]
naughty_nurse: (Of Lovin' You)

[personal profile] naughty_nurse 2017-07-27 02:25 pm (UTC)(link)
[Bingo, buddy.

But she'll finally take the hand and get up.
]

I'm always tripping, I'm always making things awkward...
theothermrgray: (perhaps)

[personal profile] theothermrgray 2017-07-27 03:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Is that so...? I suppose that could be your wish? To not be so... How did you put it... "Awkward?"

[He could help her get noticed, alright...]

[... Like, Victorian standards of noticable. Dignity and grace.]

I don't think wishes and miracles are the same thing.

[A sad sigh, as she reties her kimono.]
theothermrgray: (perhaps)

[personal profile] theothermrgray 2017-07-28 03:53 am (UTC)(link)
It's not an impossible dream, you know.

Maybe...

[But her tone of voice doesn't believe it, and her eyes stay away.]
