You've seen this before. The thought strikes suddenly, during whatever it is you were doing. Having an important conversation? Running away from home? Dying in the midst of a fierce battle? Where ever you are, one things is true: you're certain this isn't the first time you've lived through this. But upon realizing this, that's when it happens. Like someone hitting rewind on the VCR, you're back where you were ten minutes ago. And it happens again. And again. And again--Until finally, something is different. A door stands in front of you. Will you go through it? Nothing else seems to be working, so this might be your only chance.

Upon opening the door and heading inside, a strange feeling overwhelms you. It's comforting and warm, like being enveloped in a soft, heavy blanket. You hear a voice murmuring in your ear, but it's unintelligible.
And in the next moment, you've appeared in a laboratory, surrounded by the unfamiliar yet worried faces of people in lab coats, speaking in a foreign language that doesn't sound so foreign to you anymore.
Nanjikan Research Laboratory

There isn't much time to process what's happening before characters are ushered out of the arrival room. They're passed between a medical and a psychiatric team, checking them for injuries and psychological trauma. Their every need is met: food is offered, injuries are tended to, and questions are answered. "You're in a country called Nippon on a planet called Gaia," they explain. "You were brought here because you became aware of the timeloop... we'll explain everything."
Orientation Nanjikan Research Lab, Tokyo
Everyone is brought to a large auditorium, where dozens of other people looking similarly out of place are seated around them. The scientists and doctors from before file on stage, thoroughly explaining the situation. What they experienced back home was a timeloop. While the loops in their home worlds are smaller and likely to resolve on their own, the fact that such a small amount of time is being repeated is what makes them so dangerous for those who become aware of it. And they've been working around the clock, checking adjacent universes for others who've become aware. While the technical explanations may go over the heads of most, that's not the reason they were all brought together like this. "In order to bring you here, we used the very same magic responsible for freeing our world... Kizuna."
And they continue to explain: their own world was trapped in a year long loop for decades, if not longer. Through the use of an ancient form of bonding magic, they bound their world to the present flow of time, allowing it to progress past the timeloop. Or at least, that's how they thought it worked. In truth, it appears to be magic capable of distorting reality itself. But by the time they realized this was the case, they had already begun the process of rescuing others from similar worlds using that very same magic.
Until they find the means of resuming the flow of time back in your home world, you'll just have to make due with this one. But not to worry, because Nippon is fully committed to taking care of the refugees!
A Place to Call Home Tokyo, Kanto
Once orientation is over, characters will be given one of three options for housing. Housing will be paid by the government of Nippon until they decide to move elsewhere, with NRL providing a stipend for food expenses.
In lieu of providing transportation, all refugees will be granted an unlimited rail pass that they can use to travel all across Nippon!
For those bound for Nihonbashi, be careful not to board the train too late at night. Because on Friday nights, the Loop Line's final train of the night is a party train! Every train car is quickly set up with its own theme and decor, with this week featuring a high school romance car! Upon passing through, passengers will find their clothing magically replaced with (potentially ill-fitting) school uniforms! If they want their original clothing back, they'll have to gamble for them, and hope they don't lose whatever clothing they've got left. The train will loop endlessly past the same station until sunrise, so hopefully they weren't planning on an early night's sleep.
In Little Edo, the cherry blossoms are in full bloom, and refugees will be encouraged to visit one of the many shrines populating the district to receive a Spring Blessing. Of course, it's just an ordinary fortune that happens to come on sakura-pink paper. But for the refugees, the power of Kizuna will cause whatever fortune they receive to come true. And these fortunes are distressingly specific, ranging from "Don't flirt with the cute girl at the tea shop, she'll break your heart and your wallet" to "That new restaurant you tried last night gave you food poisoning, hurry home!" Are the fortunes coming true, or are they somehow reading the future? How mysterious.
In Yoshiwara, it's spring cleaning season for the dorms! And not just any cleaning. It seems some residents have been complaining about strange laughter in the walls. As a professional comes in to flush out the cause, residents will be warned to keep an eye out for the tickle mehehe that will be trying to hide in closets and under futons. Sure, they're harmless. But unless they want to wake up with a furry new bedmate, they should consider grabbing a broom to help clean up.
NRL Time Refugee Support Network
Once they've received their housing assignment, all refugees will be given small handheld devices called magi-tech communicators, or magi-comms for short. They're heavier than a conventional smartphone would be, but far sturdier, and powered by the ambient magic that flows through the city. They don't need to be charged, but they won't work outside of cities at all. Upon booting it up, they'll find a message linking them to a special channel for refugees.
#nrl_time_refugee_support - online
Oops! Looks like the new camera feature was already recording! Thankfully, this is the only time an accidental video will occur. Videos and photos are still lacking full color, appearing to be slightly sepia-toned, but otherwise lacking in color variety with a very poor resolution. But hey, better than nothing!
Current characters will be allowed to upgrade their current magi-comms at no charge!
Use the following code for your top-level if you'd like! This is how network communication will look for characters in the game until more advanced magi-tech comms become available for characters.
Stamen And Pistil

Life in Tokyo is finally getting back to normal after the bizarre influx of ayakashi late last month, and just in time for cherry blossom season! All around the city, streets are lined with trees filled with pink blossoms, as shops begin selling special, limited edition items to ring in the new season, and the people break out the picnic baskets to drink beneath the blossoms.
But pretty flowers aren't there only thing that spring brings to mind. Spring is the season of love in Nippon, and as the new arrivals are sure to find out, that theme is something the people of Nippon take very seriously.
Hanami Happenings Little Edo, Tokyo
Those looking for a good way to spend their day and enjoy the nice spring weather should look no further than Little Edo, where most of the city's cherry blossom trees reside. Nearly every corner is painted bright pink from the colorful petals carpeting the landscape. And beneath the shade of these beautiful messengers of spring, it's customary in Nippon to hold gatherings with friends and enjoy drinks and merriment in a practice known as Hanami.
One of the largest parks in Little Edo, sitting at the foot of a rather beautiful shrine, is where most of the refugees will be invited to join a special Hanami being thrown by the people of Tokyo, to honor the refugees for saving the city last month. Large blankets are spread out beneath the trees, with free bentos, sakura-themed snacks and treats, and no shortage of tea and beer for anyone to come and drink. It seems even the officials are looking the other way should someone below the legal drinking age of 20 decide to take part.
In fact, one vendor seems particularly interested in having the refugees try their new sakuramochi-flavored beer. With a mild hint of cherry blossoms in every sip, it's the ideal way to enjoy the Hanami season. And unlike normal beer, with it comes a special property, as those who drink it will become more relaxed and friendly, creating a warmer atmosphere beneath the cherry blossom trees.
Towards the end of the day as the sun begins to set, a special ceremony takes place, where a new cherry blossom tree is planted in honor of the refugees. There, an official speaks on behalf of the emperor, who was unable to attend, but wished to extend his gratitude to the refugees. However, the moment the plant is in the ground, to the shock of the crowd around it, it spontaneously begins to grow before their very eyes, until it's become a fully grown and towering tree, bursting with pink blossoms. It'll be the talk of the town for the rest of the month, as the citizens come to see it as a sort of blessing of behalf of the refugees.
Flowers of Evil Little Edo, Tokyo
While the city has mostly returned to normal following last month's madness-inducing pollen incident, as it turns out, jubokko pollen has left a lingering effect on a number of the cherry blossom trees in Little Edo. These trees are easily identified by the red blossoms growing among the pink ones, their petals refusing to fall no matter how strong the wind blows.
However, unlike the jubokko's pollen, these petals carry a very different effect. Anyone who stands under the shade of these trees will feel an irresistible urge to confess something. Once enough confessions are made, the red petals will gradually wither and fall, removing all enchantments from the tree.
But even among these enchanted trees, there's one that's even more different from the others. While most people will only see an ordinary cherry blossom tree, those who are prone to feelings of bloodlust will see it for what it really is: a tree covered entirely in blood-red petals. Those who see its true form will be struck by feelings of inexplicable terror, and will be unable to explain why. Not even leaving the trees sight will calm then down -- but some comforting words or physical affection from someone they've bonded with will quickly calm them down.
Dick Festival Kanayama Shrine, Tokyo Outskirts
While most residents are celebrating the spring season under the cherry blossoms, a different sort of celebration is taking place at the Kanayama Shrine, located just outside of Tokyo on a tall, narrow hilltop that juts out of the flooded landscape. It's time for the annual Kanamara Matsuri, and all refugees will find themselves invited to the little island to see the festivities. And what sort of festival is it, you may ask?
Why, it's the Festival of the Steel Phallus! According to legend, there was once a plague of a type of ayakashi that was known to live in the genitals of humans, whose vicious bite caused the birthrate of a certain city to drop down to zero. To combat this, an afflicted young woman asked a blacksmith to forge a steel phallus in order to break the ayakashi's teeth, freeing her of the curse. It's said the original phallus remains enshrined in the innermost chambers-- and in honor of this most venerated dildo, a festival is held every spring to celebrate sexuality and fertility, all leading up to a procession in which a giant steel phallus is paraded around the island.
(And no, I didn't make this up.)
Refugees visiting the shrine will find no shortage of phallic-shaped foods and merchandise. Outside of the wide array of oddly shaped dildos to choose from, in terms of food, there are stalls selling lollipops, popsicles, sausages, grilled squid, octopus balls, cream-filled dick waffles-- but there's more at work here than a simple theme. Those who choose the popsicles will find themselves with a temporary oral fixation, causing an urge to have something between their lips at all times. Now, is this a naughty trick, or merely a marketing ploy to sell more popsicles? It's hard to say.
But the real treat is inside the shrine itself, where a single dildo stands tall among gilded offerings and flowers. The inner chamber is only ever put on display once every few years, and for good reason. Anyone whose eyes fall upon the majestic phallus will become overwhelmed with a desire to fill or be filled - which might just be why viewings are done in groups of two or more, the outer doors of the shrine closed behind them for privacy. There's a nice pile of pillows and no shortage of lubricating oils available, so why not get into the spirit of the season with a friend or two?
OOC Notes
Welcome to Jikan's April TDM! The TDM is considered game canon, and also serves as the intro log! That said, whether you choose to carry threads over to the game or not is up to you!
• Current players are more than welcome to top-level, or take prompts from the TDM and use for their own logs! This may change in the future depending on how busy TDMs become.
• CRAU characters may start regaining their CRAU memories one month after the TDM. However, vague feelings of familiarity are allowed between previous game CR! For more on this, please read the FAQ!
• You do not need to sign-up for housing! Choose whichever style you prefer. Roommates can be chosen by the characters or can be random. If you want to switch housing later, your character has the option of moving at the beginning of each month.
• Feel free to get creative with what sort of gambling takes place in the Loop Line prompt. Gambling is otherwise illegal in Nippon, but is pretty common on Friday night Loop Line parties.
• Despite everything, Kanamaru Matsuri is considered an all-ages event!
Please leave any questions about the TDM prompts in the thread below! General game questions can be directed to the FAQ!

haru | beastars
[one moment she's stuck repeating the same day over and over again, and the next minute she's out of it, stumbling through a door that wasn't familiar at first, but the moment Haru slips through and stumbles into the research lab, she's aware that she's back. how she knows is neither here nor there, and it's only the nice weather that gives tell that time has passed.
she's settling back into her assigned apartment, fiddling around with the device they've given her, trying to make heads and tails of the sheer confusion that deja vu always seems to bring with it. and while she's futzing with her device, the video catches her in--
a very innocuous position, honestly. she's dressed to the nines in a furisode, flower in her hair, and she's scratching at the base of her ear seemingly annoyed as she reads the message that's popped up. then comes the look of surprise and the camera shuts off as she snaps the device shut.
seconds later:]
HARU__: anyways i think i was here before, but
HARU__: ...i forgot what i was going to say. that camera thing really threw me off.
HARU__: oh! wait now i remember. has anyone else been gone before, but came back with a lot of time missing?
(2) Flowers of Evil
[she really shouldn't be so put off by the way this vendor had looked at her when she went to grab herself a beer. sure, she's paid for it, has it in hand, but it's hard to enjoy it with the questioning look this guy is gave her without asking the question he clearly had on the tip of his tongue.
she's twenty, but the way this guy was looking at her she knows he's doubting her age despite happily handing her his specialty beer. settling herself down on a blanket beneath a tree whose bright flowers are a deep red, standing out against the cascade of pink petals fluttering from the trees.]
I'm twenty, and I've got nothing to show for it. [said a bit self-pityingly, to the person she's sharing a blanket with. and then, moments later.] Twenty and my boyfriend still won't sleep with me.
[and she sits bolt upright, nearly upturning the beer she set down beside her. she clasps her hand to her mouth, looking at the poor person she's just confessed that too.]
Aah, I mean-- that slipped out!
(3) Dicks.
[Haru is one of the many people who decided to trek out and see just what this festival was about, without actually knowing until she's stepped onto the island and is met with a face full of penises.
and Haru is someone well-acquainted with penises of various shapes and sizes, but the sudden onslaught of them has even someone like her turning a bright red from surprise. but in time, the surprise washes away into amiable enjoyment of the festivities, and she's procured herself a cream-filled waffle for the ocaision.
unfortunately, it's a bit of a mess, and pretty big for someone her size, and when she takes a bite out of the waffle, all the cream just--
shoots out from the opposite end.
the balls of her penis waffle had exploded, and unfortunately have gotten all over a bystander's pants/skirts/leg/what have you.]
That's...not where it was supposed to come out of.
(4) Wildcard it up
Hit me up with a prompt of your own, or feel free to reinterpret the existing toplevels to best fit your character. Hoping to give this place another go (and I had to respond to the siren call of a dick festival...)
Flowers of Evil!

Jun Kohinata | Tokyo Xanadu
[You know what's not fun to repeat ten times in a row? Fighting an extremely powerful demon, that's what. Even for someone as used to battles as Jun, he is exhausted by the time the door appears. Enough that he doesn't have it in him to even keep his sword or knight uniform summoned, willing them away the moment he recognizes he's not going to die.
So for everyone else, the orientation is featuring one 5'3", very scrawny-looking, nerd kid in a school uniform, looking like he's about to keel over from exhaustion. Is he even taking in all this information being thrown at him? Who knows.]
II. Fortune Telling
[Sure this is a strange situation, but with no clear option for going home, why not check out the cherry blossoms. It was a time honored tradition after all! So he heads to the shrines, enjoying the sights, and even indulges in grabbing a fortune. ]
..."Watch out for falling objects"? That's not a normal fortune, is it?
[He thought this crap was supposed to be vaguer!]
III. Network
SchwarzerVI: Looks like. Good. I have two questions.
SchwarzerVI: 1. Does anyone recognize the name "Morimiya"?
SchwarzerVI: 2. There's a Seasame Street character in my closet. How do I get it out?
SchwarzerVI: Thank you.

Kyouka Izumi | Bungo Stray Dogs | ota
[Kyouka is certainly no stranger to working alone, but that doesn't mean she enjoys it. as she makes her way out of the auditorium, she looks over the address for the house she's been assigned to. she chose this house because she does not want to live in a place by herself. she wants to live around other people. so it's off to Little Edo she goes.
she steps into the house, not showing any sign of emotion regarding the dilapidated state. she's more interested in the people she will be staying with. hopefully, they'll all be able to get along. she clutches the cellphone around her neck as she steps through the house. maybe she's the first one here, or maybe the other occupants are just quiet. either way, she won't stop looking until she finds someone, then she will respectfully bow in front of them]
Sorry for the intrusion.
[at least she's not sneaking around]
II) spring feelings
[no beer for her, thank you, but Kyouka will be flower-viewing, now that she's settled into her new house. she is sitting primly on one of the blankets, drinking tea and wondering if Atsushi made it to this world, Nippon. there could very well be other people from home here, or maybe there aren't. she doesn't know, it's a big multiverse, after all. she doesn't show much concern, she's not scared. though it would be nice to be around some friends.
a red sakura petal falls down, landing in her lap. Kyouka manages a small smile as she recalls the Armed Detective Agency and the Port Mafia flower-viewing together. it wasn't that long ago]
I miss you.
[that confession spilled out of her mouth. she hadn't meant to say it out loud! her cheeks turn a dusty pink, and she goes back to her tea]
III) just stop
[ah. don't ask Kyouka why she's here. she's been festival-hopping, because she's had nothing better to do. some way, or another, she's arrived at the Kanayama Shrine, and she's giving everything she's seeing a judgemental stare. it's not that this type of festival surprises her, or even confuses her. but it's so... blunt, isn't it? she avoids most of the phallic-shaped food and doesn't even go into the shrine. actually, she's looking for the nearest exit. she should probably just go back to Little Edo. she'll take other people who don't want to be here with her]
IV) wildcard
[for everything else! no smutty options for this one, please, though she can be present at the festivals. feel free to poke
III
Right, Chuuya would probably kill him if there was a kid here and he didn't at least offer to escort them out. His own sense of responsibility may not be great, but he has a working fear of Chuuya supernaturally finding out that he has Wronged A Youth.]

Genbu Onishi (WoL) | Final Fantasy XIV
II - Dick Festival [18+ only]
III - Wildcard
I
Possibly too much and Val's stopped trying to make sense of it all about three blocks ago. Fortunately, it's not the first time that she's ended up somewhere odd; Val takes it with as much grace as she's able.
Currently, that means wandering through the festival with her arms tightly crossed over her abdomen and wide-eyed staring in every direction all at once. She should be asking questions. She should be taking notes. Gods above, she really should be writing some of this down, but her mind is going too fast for that.
She catches sight of him just before he calls out. A small part of her tension uncoils when she sees the horns. Not Xaela, but that's more than fine. He's still familiar, though she knows it's not just her memory being stupid that she doesn't actually recognize him. She hurries over, graceful and light on her feet enough to make weaving through the crowd look easy.
(And short enough to duck when she needs to.)]

Ranpo Edogawa | Bungo Stray Dogs
[After how stressed and unhappy he felt for more of last month, Ranpo was eager for the season to turn over so he could start fresh. And what better way than to sit beneath the shade of a sakura tree and enjoy free snacks and drinks? Of course, he's noticed by now that the tree he's sitting under is a little different, the blossoms bright red in some spots. But it doesn't seem to be doing anything, so here he sits, enjoying the food and company of other refugees sitting around them.]
Say, have you tried the sakuramochi beer yet? I still don't really like the taste of beer, so I was hoping it would taste better. So I can still get drunk.
[...h-hm. He sits up a bit at that -- he didn't meant to tack on that last part. But from above, one of the red petals falls down and lands in his hair.]
2 | Lewd Food | OTA
[The moment Ranpo arrives and realizes exactly what kind of festival this is, he proceeds to laugh for about ten minutes until there are tears in his eyes. Okay. This is his new favorite Shinto holiday.]
[But of course, the first thing he's going to do is seek out as much festival food as he can! Sure, it's all incredibly lewd, but who cares so long as it tastes great! Catch him sucking a little too enthusiastically on a dick lollipop, licking a melting drip up the side of a dick popsicle, nibbling at the tip of some grilled squid, stuffing his cheeks with octopus balls, and making a mess of himself when a creme-filled dick waffle gets a bit too excited as he takes a bite, leaving a splurt of cream up along his cheek.]
[He has to be doing this on purpose, and yet... he's not. He just really likes to enjoy his food.]
3 | Holy Dicks | 18+ men only
...it'd probably be really rude to laugh right now, huh.
[It's so ridiculous?? It's just a giant dildo sitting on an altar as if it were carved in Buddha's likeness, surrounded by gold and offerings?? It's too silly.]
[But at the same time, it's not like Ranpo hasn't read the room already. The wait to get in here was fairly long, and the doors were shut behind them, the inner shrine room practically soundproof with the roar of the crowds outside completely silenced. And the cushions strewn about don't look like they're just for sitting. Did they have a specific intent in mind here? Personal time in front of the holy penis??]
[And yet, as he glances at his companion, somehow... it doesn't sound like such a bad idea.]
4 | Wildcard
[Feel free to find Ranpo: refusing to help clean at the dorms, stuck on the loop line train and winning everyone's clothes back for them while dressed as a school girl, getting tipsy under the normal cherry blossoms, or bring your own prompt!!]
3 - Holy Dicks
[Of course Dionysus had to see the giant dildo shrine. He's living his best life in this festival, finding it much to his liking and reminiscent of his own six day festival. Minus the theatron competitions and poetry battles that are important to his honor.
He just happened to really wander in at the same time as Ranpo, so he stands next to him and out of habit reaches for the shorter man's head and pats it, but as he looks at the shrine and then around at the room, his hand lingers.]
Usually, in my experience, you, well, give offerings at these kinds of things.

Xiao | Genshin Impact
[ It was a nice day today and as such, Xiao had deigned to go and take a nice, long bath. He was comfortable, relaxed and felt at ease. A small comfort was that this was the comfort of his own apartment so he could be as comfortable as much as he wanted, wearing a simple yukata after he’d come out and gotten dressed.
Well, mostly.
He picked up his device to check it and blinked a couple times, which is when he saw the messages that said the camera was on. THIS meant that everyone would be able to see one very important thing. Xiao actually had tied the yukata around his waist so essentially he was very much shirtless with his hair still a bit wet. That’s when he realizes that the message implied that others could see him and he snapped the device shut for a moment.
What follows is a very short set of messages. ]
This should have been properly tested first
yaksha: Why is technology necessary again?
yaksha: Never mind. It’s not important.
II. Springtime Confessions
[ Having lived his entire life in Liyue, Xiao had NEVER once seen cherry blossoms until this had begun. So this meant that when the natives had started this festival? He didn’t get why it was such a big deal, but decided it wouldn’t hurt to partake in the celebration they were throwing. Only because it would be rude to refuse, even if he still wasn’t big on spending time around people in large numbers.
He took a look at the many blankets set out, the smell of snacks and treats on the air and almost turned on his heel because it was too crowded. It was only witnessing the sight of the beautiful trees and the soft pink petals floating from them that made his eyes widen as he walked forwards. Catching a pink petal in the palm of his hand quietly, he doesn’t realize where he’s standing or by which tree in question that is giving him shade at the moment. ]
...I wish I could just be honest and tell him how I really feel.
[ That made his eyes widen. What in the seven archons was going on? Nobody had heard that though, right? ]
III. Dick Festival
[ Whether he was dragged here by a particular person or just found himself here, already Xiao hated it because WHY. None of this seemed necessary and he’d never heard of this Festival before. Someone celebrating because of something like that?! Honestly.
He may act mostly put-off or disgusted with his arms crossed as he avoids looking at a LOT of the food, but the most notable thing was that he was just embarrassed. Maybe even looking for an out. This is clear in the way the pale green tattoo on his right shoulder was distinctly glowing with the more embarrassed he got.
Something most notable when someone had seen him looking sour-faced and keeping to himself, and approached with a smile and amiable attitude. It was a young woman and he insisted he was fine, but she didn’t accept it and that was essentially how one Xiao, Conqueror of Demons now had a very inappropriate, white dick popsicle held in one hand. He was staring at it, tattoo glowing a bit brighter before holding it out to the next refugee who approached. ]
Here. You take it. I wouldn’t be able to stomach it anyway.
[ Which… wasn’t a lie but most people would chalk it up to his damn embarrassment being why he was passing it off to someone else. ]

Valeria (WoL) | FFXIV
[ She's drinking tea.
Oh, several people - and one vendor in particular - had tried and even insisted on her trying something stronger, but Valeria just got here. She can't justify drinking anything stronger, even if she really really really wants to. So tea it is, though she's not really drinking it. She holds the cup in both hands while she watches the crowd.
Everyone seems to be happy and cheerful and having fun. She supposes this can't be all bad, then? Maybe? She huffs and pulls her knees up, elbows resting on them and still holding her cup carefully.]
I want to go home. [Her tea doesn't seem to react to her confession, but perhaps someone nearby will.] I don't now anyone here and no one knows me.
two.
[She's holding a dick waffle and she can't stop laughing.
Hers is not a boisterous laugh - Val isn't loud by any stretch of the imagination - but she's almost wheezing in a fit of humor about this. (She's picturing the reactions of certain Scions were they here to see her holding this: Alphinaud's stuttering, Thancred's smirk.)]
I am never going to be able to eat this. [She'll never stop snickering about it long enough.]
wildcard+note.
Val's info is here for the curious. (Pardon the typos; I'm in the middle of rewriting parts of it.) Have a prompt you prefer or just wanna wing it? I'm game.

Mahiru stilled when he heard those words, blinking a bit before offering a small smile and stepping a bit closer. ]
I know it can be a bit overwhelming at first, but it's okay. A lot of the people here are really nice and welcoming so I'm sure you'll find people to get along with.
[ He's one of them if she'd let him. Sure she had horns and wasn't human but so was a lot of the natives and his own friend/partner wasn't either so why would he ever dare discriminate now? ]

Ares | Hades
[Ares' arrival was not a subtle one, be it because of the gleaming divine armor, glowing halo of light, or simply from massive size. Fortunately, he had no intention of walking through the city dressed in the grim regalia of the dreadful god of War.
And so, his form changes. He assumes a more appropriately human size. His hair and piercing eyes shift to darker, more natural colors ( bright blood red unsettles people, apparently). His cape transforms itself into the contemporary suit coat worn by the people of the city. Well-fitted, of course.]
An interesting, if somewhat stifling choice in style, but it will do.
[He appears to be talking about you, now - and shortly thereafter, his armor becomes a copy of whatever it is you're wearing that day. Slightly adjusted in color and shape to suit his own personal taste. He quite enjoyed a deep crimson.]
Cherry Blossoms
[Such a pleasant and peaceful viewing of the trees' natural beauty is not an activity someone like Ares would typically find invigorating, but he appears to have taken well enough to conversing beneath the flowers with his beer-drinking partner.]
Ah - it has been quite a while since flowers have bloomed in the land I come from. The venerable Goddess of the Seasons has seen fit to keep things frozen over, you see. Bleak for some, perhaps, but I find the side-effects of the Winter's chill far more suitable to my tastes.
DICKS
[ Ares appears nonplussed by the phallic paraphernalia that made up the bulk of the festival. It would hardly be the first time he's seen such a thing, and he wasn't a particularly chaste Olympian god. He peruses the food with rapt curiosity, until he finds a popsicle for the taking.
He then proceeds to eat, but rather than licking it and slowly making his way to the center, Ares bites it cleanly in half, chews it into slush, and swallows. Apparently, brainfreeze was not a concern for immortals.]
Intriguing. I wonder how they have managed to capture the cold in such a way.
wildcard!?
[Hello friends, Hadesgame!Ares is an unnervingly polite (but still death-and-blood obssessed) version of the Greek god. Have at thee, I am down for anything]
hating on evil trees for dionysus winedad
Of course, gazing upon it made the dread-terror begin to take effect, and he stops in place. Fleeing certainly crossed his mind, but Ares had one particular way he liked to handle presumptuous, magical things that wished to place spells on a god. The displeased rage was barely betrayed by the expression of his mortal disguise, remaining in an unnatural, deadlocked stare.
The tree bark begins to chip and splinter outwards, the distending cracks filled with a red light. It was as if something was forming within it, until, all at once, the tree explodes outwards into a cloud of woodchips, branches, and flower petals. In place of a jagged stump were two whirlwind-disks made of the magic blades he enjoyed summoning in battle, having formed them within the tree until they burst outwards. The gale-force had spread the debris in a wide and uneven circle.
Despite its utter disintegration, however, the dread remains in him, somehow. He summons both of the blades to his hands. Must he strike what may be left?]

Kuro | Servamp
[Kuro has heard of this custom before in Japan, but he's never participated. It's nice though... the relaxing atmosphere, the shade of the trees, the soft grass and a blanket to lay on...
And so much free food.
He plans to try whatever he can get his hands on in between naps beneath (or in the branches of) the cherry trees. The bentos are good, and so are the snacks.
He isn't particularly inclined towards alcohol, but the Sakuramochi flavor has him curious enough to try a bit, which only adds to how relaxed he is. Kuro can be found dozing in the shade of the trees, or... even flopping on someone's lap, actually. Did he forget he's still in his regular form?]
Relaxing in the shade of the cherry trees, enjoying a gentle breeze and good food... this is the best.
[He sounds utterly contented.]
Dick Festival I - NSFW potential
[Kuro loved festivals. He's sticking mostly to creeping between shaded areas during the day or wandering after sunset, but he's easy to find all over the place: Mainly at food and game stalls, or dragging Mahiru around with him to have fun.
He seems to be on a mission to try every snack he can... and yes, that includes the ones shaped like dicks. He has no shame when it comes to food. He can be found sucking happily on lollipops and popsicles as he wanders around, and if he keeps going back for more... well... don't judge him, he already has an oral fixation.
He makes an absolute mess with the dickwaffles though, white chocolate smeared on his fingertips and cream spurting all over his cheek and lips from biting down a little too eagerly. Whoops.
Overall he just really, really wants something in his mouth right now. Even in between snacks the craving lingers, and he licks his lips idly as he looks for his next treat, a flash of fangs visible.]
Dick festival II
[Kuro has been playing games, and the prizes.... well.
They're certainly something. He stares at the plush he's won, tilting his head as he examines it and squishes it in his hands a few times... and then a few times more.] It's soft...
[It's ridiculous and lewd, but he kind of wants to keep it...]
Shrine visit - NSFW potential
...I can't believe there's actually a shrine for a dildo...
[Kuro stares up at the venerated dildo, squinting slightly. The atmosphere in here was kind of... He peers up at the person who entered with him, crimson eyes curious.]
So do you think it's true? The whole 'Stopped an Ayakashi with it' thing.
Wildcard
[Feel free to plot something out with me!]
DF - I
He understood why they were holding this one but he didn't know what he had gotten himself into until it was too late. Mahiru's face had all but burst into a furious blush once he'd come across them, mostly at Kuro's behest. Never before had he ever seen another person love snacks as much as his servamp did, but it was certainly not a new realization by any means.
More than once he'd had to avoid looking at the aforementioned person in question as he shamelessly consumed the food, but the game stalls at least had been fun for the most part.
It was only as the silver-haired vampire made an absolute mess of himself with the waffles did Mahiru sigh a bit, cheeks warm even as he moved in to help try and clean off Kuro's face first. His brows are drawn into a small frown but he's really not all that mad. ]
You really need to be more careful with those, Kuro.
[ God this whole mess was embarrassing and he kind of hated it but he was still going to help out his partner since something about the sight the other'd made was strangely inappropriate. ]

Dazai Osamu | Bungou to Alchemist
[There are two unquestionable facts about Dazai.
1. He cares a lot about his clothes. A lot about them. So when they're taken, of course he's going to immediately try to win them back. No offense to the school uniform, but he put a lot of effort into that outfit!
2. He has no poker face whatsoever.
Which is why he's in a corner of the train car, totally naked and trying not to sulk. If anyone makes eye contact with him-]
Hey, can I ask a favor? Are you any good at poker?
[Dick Festival - NSFW for obvious reasons]
[Dazai's been enjoying himself at the festival, snickering a little at the prizes and going to town on some popsicles, but now he's here at the main attraction: the dildo itself.]
...You know, one of my best friends made a two meter tall dick out of snow once? But I think this is even bigger than that.
[Flowers of Evil - SFW]
[Speaking of Ango's work.
The cherry blossoms are lovely, suspicious though their blooming is. And Dazai isn't bloodthirsty enough to see the one tree's true form - but he sure does notice other people's reaction to it, and he's read the story.
Which is why he's currently here squinting at that tree in particular.]
I've never heard of a cherry blossom tree that only terrifies some people...
Party Train
Still dressed in that school uniform that barely kept anything contained she held a bundle of her own clothes as she came up to the other. ]
Hell yeah I am, I'm someone that just so happens to have some extremely good luck.
[ Jolyne offers a wink before handing over her own clothes. ]
I don't mind you being naked or anything, but you probably mind it. So you can borrow these until we get your clothes back... It doesn't seem like you're much taller that me so sizing shouldn't be an issue.

Persephone Fiore-Zhou | Original
[ Being that she had spent her entire life living in London, and only recently getting to visit parts of Europe? The sight of the sakura blossom trees in full view was a beautifully enchanting sight to see all the same. So one could find Persephone sitting on one of the rented blankets with a cup of tea, one bento and a small variety of assorted sakura-themed snacks. ]
This’s so nice… I really do need to visit Japan someday…
[ She blinked, seeing someone passing by who looked kind of lost. ]
Oi! Come here, why don’t you? There’s snacks and m’willing to share!!
02. Flowers of Evil
[ As it stood, she’d found herself sitting near one of those special trees but hadn’t known it herself. Mostly in the way she had her cup of tea clutched in her hands, staring down at it quietly. She rarely showed it but she was worried about Nathaniel and his well being, even if the NRL people had said time was at a stand-still for now.
His face stuck in her mind before he’d disappeared off that cliffside, and she frowned a bit as she knew he wouldn’t want her dwelling on that. ]
There’s so many nice people here… and i’m still lonely… Why?
[ To Persephone she thought she’d been alone, speaking such a confession aloud where she thought nobody could hear it. Hell, it was more that she didn’t even know she’d said it consciously. ]
03. Dick Festival
[ While she WAS 19, it didn’t stop her from snickering just a little as she walked past all the phallic foods here. Having bought one of the sausages they sold as she walked around, checking things out, a thought occurred to her as she stopped near one of the stands that sold a few dildos but a lot of them lacked real variety. ]
Hm… These aren’t bad but lack a LOT of creativity! What a shame… maybe I should ask people if they’d like some specially made custom ones…
[ Naturally she’s just musing to herself while moving closer to inspect some of them, wondering if she should buy a few to see if she can examine them and find out what they’re made of. ]

And then - one minute he's in his normal clothes, and the next he's in absolutely something he'd never wear. Is this a school uniform? Is this his school uniform?! It's way too big on him and he tugs the pants up so that they stay on him.
Alright, this isn't funny. Where are his clothes? When he discovers that he's going to have to win it back...by essentially betting the clothes he has on. What's the worst that could happen, right? ]
Alright. Fine. I'm in.
II. HANAMI
Early on in the day, he'll be found settling in a large blanket, trying various food items: including both bentos and various other snacks and treats. He'll periodically take out his sketchbook and start quickly drawing some of the cherry blossom trees, while daylight is still available. He'll get as much as possible in earlier on in the event.
As the day wears on, he's bee convinced to try the Sakuramochi Beer, which apparently didn't take much before he's already in much better spirits than he typically is. Cup in hand, he'll approach whomever, and say: ]
Tell me about where you were before here. ]
III. DICKS / NSFW
[ He got invited to a festival on an Island without really knowing what to expect. And being who he is - of course he was going to go. This was the sort of one-time-only chance that Rohan wasn't about to pass up on.
But, he certainly wasn't expecting, well, this. And, as he's never really participated in something quite like this, he's going to take everything in. He's never been much one to pass up oddities.
First thing's first - he will be trying nearly everything there is to eat. He's pretty fascinated by the variety of items that there are. So, when he's at a vendor, regardless as to what they are offering, he will ask. ]
Have you tried this yet?
[ Not that he won't try it, but he's curious to see if someone has an opinion. ]

Venti | Genshin Impact
[ The Cherry Blossoms look beautiful. He's never really had a chance to see something quite like this. Free food? Yes, he's all about something like this. So he'll be eating here, picking up up snacks throughout the day. Of course, he is more than happy to see that there's also free alcohol here, so he's going to be spending the day indulging in that, as well. He can be found periodically revisiting vendors for refills on snacks and the beer.
But, the most exciting part for him is the Sakuramochi flavored beer that he hears a vendor talking about. So, he'll prop himself onto their table of goods, elbows first, and glancing up towards the vendor, who questions him for a moment, then offers him the cup. He takes a sip and looks...surprised. Impressed, even. He'll turn to someone nearby, whether or not they were intending to get this specialty beer or not and offer. ]
It is amazing, don't you think? I normally prefer wine. But this is impressive. You should try for yourself!
II. DICKS
Oh - this is delicious!
[ He eyes the partially consumed dick waffle. ]
Have any recommendations for what I should try next?
III. WILDCARD

II. Who can resist embarrassing dick prompts?
no one should.
Wei Wuxian | Mo Dao Zu Shi
(( Little Edo is a nice part of town. Wei Wuxian doesn’t get out of Yoshiwara much (why should he when he lives and works there?), but today he happened to follow the crowd flocking to Little Edo for the cherry blossom viewing. It seems like a fun thing to do to celebrate nature’s return to life. Wei Wuxian always enjoyed spring and the vitality it brings. It also heralds the coming of summer when the lotuses bloom – lotuses are the only flowers he’s ever looked forward to seeing.
But Wei Wuxian has to admit the pale pink petals drifting everywhere are quite pretty. It’s no wonder people come in droves to see them. Apparently, the peoples of Nippon take their flower viewing very seriously. It’s so well-planned with the blankets to sit on and the sakura-themed snacks. He finds a seat, plopping down next to whomever, known or unknown to him, with a sakuramochi beer in hand. ))
You have to try this!
(( And, yes, he’s going to offer the drink. ))
Dɪᴄᴋ Fᴇsᴛɪᴠᴀʟ (open, potential for NSFW)
(( Wei Wuxian thinks the flowers are pretty, but not pretty enough to capture his attention for the whole day (or even a few hours). So, he makes his way to the festival at the Kanayama Shrine. And, oh is he amused! A bright smile spreads across his face as he takes in the phallic sights all around. He’s on the verge of laughing the entire time, it’s just so ridiculous.
But it’s also fun! There’s a light-heartedness in the air as people openly check out the merchandise. For his part, Wei Wuxian settles on a cream-filled dick waffle to eat. And yes, he’s making a mess of himself, getting the gooey cream around his mouth. He’s just taken another bite when he hears some passers-by talking about the mythical dildo o display. Eager, Wei Wuxian grabs the sleeve of whoever is nearest. ))

Dick Festival because why not
Of course, there was also some morbid curiosity with it as well. Like how he had read those books in secret for so many years. But this was out in the open and everyone was taking it in stride even if he couldn't decide whether to be embarrassed by it or not.
But as he kept walking, he overheard the comment about the 'mythical dildo'. What?! Was there really such a thing?!
Then a hand grabbed him by the arm and a familiar voice spoke]
Wei Ying!

Oda Sakunosuke | Bungou Stray Dogs
(( The orientation isn’t hard to understand, the technology simple enough to someone from the age of mobile phones. Oda settles in easily enough in Nihonbashi, thankfully missing the fiasco of the party train. As soon as he’s settled in, he decides to go exploring. The cherry trees in bloom are a familiar sight in a somewhat strange place that almost reminds him of home.
Once he finds his way to Little Edo, he finds the shrines buzzing with visitors there to have their fortunes told. He approaches one of the shrines, not particularly worried about which kami resides there. He’s not there to pray for anything specific. But he goes through the proper motions to greet the local kami. Oda fishes coin out of his pocket and deposits it in the offering box, then heads toward the haiden. There he bows twice, claps twice, makes his silent prayer and bows again. All right and proper before getting his fortune.
Oda waits to leave the shrine before unfolding the pale pink paper to read the fortune written there. ))
“You will meet an old acquaintance.”
(( He doesn’t pause in his step while he reads it but manages not to bump into anyone. He doesn’t look back up until he’s folded the paper and tucks it away in his pocket. ))
Maybe if I were back home…
Hᴀɴᴀᴍɪ Hᴀᴘᴘᴇɴɪɴɢs (open)
(( This spring celebration reminds him a lot of home. It’s nice to have those little things to cling to in a strange place. He generally seems like a laidback guy and enjoying such a calm event seems to suit him. He has a sakuramochi beer in his hand and he lays across one of the large blankets, watching the petals sway in the breeze. Though relaxed, he’s still observant and notices when someone’s looking for a place to sit. ))
There’s room here.
Dɪᴄᴋ ᴏɴ ᴀ Sᴛɪᴄᴋ (open, potential for NSFW)
(( One can really only stare at cherry blossoms for so long. This time his wanderings take him to yet another bustling area: Kanayama Shrine. While he’s heard of a similar festival at home, he’s never actually attended. There are food and games as far as the eye an see and everything about them is phallic. Good thing Oda has an excellent poker face.
He won a few game, earning himself an appropriately themed plush. Too bad he can’t give it to the kids. That would just be too inappropriate. He supposes it’s a nice enough souvenir. He’s not sure he’s going to keep it.
The last thing he does is check out to the food options. Oda tried to avoid them, but after spending some time there, the smells mingling in the air made his stomach rumble. Of all the things, he chooses the squid, something familiar and only phallic if you think about it too much. One squid’s not enough to take the edge of hunger off, so he wanders around the crowded stalls and asks a nearby person: ))
How are these?

Hanami
He has more than a couple of inches on her, after all, not that that's the only detail she's noticed. White hair, red eyes, pale skin -- his appearance is striking even before one takes into consideration his outfit, which is a far cry from any natives' concept of modern apparel. The bandages are a curious touch and those holsters -- they're something she simply notes and quiets her curiosity about for the moment, but not something over which she pauses or hesitates. ]
The sun is pretty strong today, isn't it? Are you alright?

[Kokoro had decided to go visit the blossom viewing because it had been a while. And at home, one didn't want to get too close to the cherry trees because there was a good chance that you might end up on the wrong side of a ghost.
Personally, Kokoro not only enjoyed her head on her neck, she also enjoyed not having to deal with ghosts overall. She received her complimentary bento, but frowned at the fish in it.
She scooted over to the edge of her blanket and beckoned over to the nearest person.]
Hey, hey. Can I trade you my sushi for your vegetables?
Dickus Festivus
[As far as festivals go, this one wasn't so bad. The dicks were kind of cartoony, and the snacks were good. At present, Kokoro had gotten herself a little bag of happy-faced dick candies and a popsicle as she walked around and viewed the stalls. Part of her wanted to go visit the shrine, but what would she even pray for?
Oh well, more popsicle, less thinking. She's tall enough to stick out among the crowd (and pink enough, besides).
Kokoro stops short to lick up the drips coming down the popsicle before sticking it back in her mouth. This is her third popsicle, maybe it's time to slow up.]
DICKUS
[Because she, in particular, is also a eating this popsicle in a way that's far too messy. She's not a toddler. This shouldn't be an issue.
He points his own dick shaped skewer at her-like it's an extension of his finger and she's in need of an accusatory finger waggle.]

Sporting her new school uniform, the purple skinned Yordle is prancing around happily amidst the crowd. She even seems to be carrying a few sets of clothes in a floating bag besides her! Whether she won those fair and square remains to be seen but it for sure is the fact that this cheery and playful Yordle seems to be having a blast in this new environment.
II. Dicks! Dicks as far as the eye can see!
"OOooo," her playful voice is heard as she goes from stall to stall. "That one looks familiar! Do you guys have dragokins too?!"
"Oh! don't look that one in the eye! It spits!"
All over, the Yordle enjoys the festivities all while enjoying.... too many dicksickles throughout her stay in the festival. "Wowie, these are GOOD!"
Free-for-all
Lulu will be exploring as much as she can of this new world! Feel free to bump into them anywhere!
Ragetti | Pirates of the Caribbean | OTA
[ Look, Ragetti's been through some weird stuff in his life. He's spent ten years turning into a skeleton zombie under the moonlight. He's held his own in combat against barnacle-encrusted fish-people while trying to protect a treasure chest containing the still-beating heart of a Scottish psychopomp squid. He's sailed off the edge of the world into the afterlife itself and come back none the worse for wear, if a little wetter for his troubles.
This? This is still a lot to take in.
Ragetti hasn't stopped staring, he's pretty sure, since the moment he stepped through that door. His mismatched eyes are wide as he gazes continuously at the new world around him, and even if he'd had two working ones he doesn't think he'd have been able to really see all of it. Often, he glances off to his side and slightly downward, as if to consult on the situation with someone who he's forgotten isn't there, and his face falls when it hits him again that he's alone.
He thinks he understands most of what they told him and the other newcomers in the presentation he'd sat through, when he wasn't distracted by the diversity of faces and outfits and species around him, and when the technical terms he didn't understand (all of them) weren't bouncing through his head like so much white noise. Well... all right, at least he thinks he understands the basics. Time loops, bonding magic, incomprehensible future world that is apparently his home now. Ragetti likes to think that by this point he's a master of taking these sorts of things in stride (he isn't, but he likes to think he is), but even including the time he'd ended up tied upside-down to the mast of a boat that had just flipped itself underwater, he feels more out of his depth than ever.
Which is why he's dawdling as they file out of the research lab, fiddling with the communicator which has just become (joining his sword, pistol, eye, and the clothes on his back) one of his few worldly possessions. On the outside it looks a lot like a fancy pocketwatch, and that he can just about handle, but when he finally pops the thing open...
Oh. Letters. Letters which he assumes are forming words and possibly even sentences, though he'd have to take your own word on that one. This could be an issue. Literacy is not among his questionably many talents.
He turns to the nearest likely-looking person, presumably a fellow new arrival, though of course thanks to the fancy new video function, they're probably not the only one who'll hear his question. ]
Er, beg pardon - ye wouldn't know if this box thing happens to say anything important on it, would ye?
b - party train
[ By now it's getting late in the day, and due to a combination of an unfamiliar mode of transport, unfamiliar place names ringing in his ears, and just getting lost in the scenery whizzing by outside the train windows, Ragetti misses his stop. So he tries again. And again (thank goodness for those free passes). By the time he thinks he might finally have the hang of it -
Oh. These aren't his clothes, suddenly. That's unexpected.
Unexpected doesn't mean bad, though. For one thing, these are clean, and he hasn't had anything clean on his body in a very long time. The collar feels comfortingly nautical, and the skirt (it's not the first time he's worn one) swishes pleasantly around his thighs. Catch a one-eyed, bearded grown man giggling to himself as he spins around a couple times, enjoying the way it flares out as he does so. He doesn't understand why ladies aren't doing that constantly. It's fun as hell.
Still, fun though this new outfit might be, his clothes are his clothes, and it would be nice if he were actually in possession of them by the time he makes it to his new lodgings. It's not long until he susses out that he's got to gamble them back - well, gambling's a pastime no pirate is a stranger to, so why not?
Unfortunately, Ragetti is not a man whom luck necessarily tends to favor, or else he'd still have both his eyes. In short succession, he's lost both shoes, both socks, and that cute sailor-y top, and his skinny chest is on full display as he looks down worriedly at the next article of clothing he'll have to ante. ]
Don't s'pose anyone else'd be willin' to step in...?
[ It sounds like a rhetorical question, but he can't help but hope some kind stranger will take him up on it. He really likes that skirt :c ]
c - hanami
[ Pirates are a lot like college students. You can get them to do just about anything with the promise of free food and free beer.
Granted, Ragetti's more of a rum kind of guy, but he's absolutely not turning up his nose at this sakuramochi stuff. It's fruitier than he's used to, but he finds he actually quite enjoys it. And the more he drinks, the more he finds he's actually quite enjoying a lot about the situation. Stranded in a strange world he may still be, but the flowers are pretty and the food is plentiful, and he's stretched out nearly horizontally, blissed-out smile on his face, when he notices that he's not the only one here all by their lonesome.
Well, only thing better than drinking is drinking in good company, right? And so Ragetti's usual general aura of hovering nervousness is almost completely absent as he hails the stranger: ]
Oi! Share a drink with me, mate? Plenty to go around!
d - wildcard
[ I know this is very long already and I'm sorry ;A; but!! If there's anything else you want to do, drop it here or hit me up at
skeleton bros
Oh, no, not really. People here use these to send messages back and forth to each other instantly, but they're usually not very important.

bruno bucciarati / jojo's bizarre adventure
1. little edo/fortune
[ He'd be lying if he said this wasn't all alarming. It's weird, nonsensical, and sounds more like the beginning of a mediocre comic book than something that would actually happen to someone. Yet here he is, stepping off a train in not-Japan after a long-winded explanation that he wouldn't believe if he wasn't living it.
Maybe that's the key word - living it. Bruno is not a religious man; even if there was a heaven, he hardly would have imagined someone like himself going there. This... is not heaven. But it's closer to that than hell. And he's much more willing to believe that's what happened to him than anything else. That's why, as alarming as it all is, he's oddly calm. He was resigned to his fate before this; he went easy knowing his men succeeded. There's nothing left for him to fight against - which is a very, very strange feeling when you've been fighting your whole life. For the first time in a long, long while, he lets himself be swept along with the current, until he's at a shrine and a blessing is being pushed into his hands by an eager shrine maiden. ]
A fortune? [ ... ] Thank you.
[ there's no need to be rude, but he doesn't need something like this anymore. So, once she's preoccupied, he neatly folds the omikuji up without reading it and tosses it to the nearest trashcan... where it bounces off rather than falling in, unbeknownst to Bruno, who is already walking away. Fate cannot be escaped!! ]
2. hanami
Excuse me. It looks like this space is free. [ hello. before the other party can respond, Bruno is already taking a seat nearby on the same blanket, speaking in a cool and amicable tone that also doesn't really leave room for interruption. ] Lively, isn't it? Is it always like this here?
[ It's only been a few hours, but he's already become good at picking out fellow "refugees" from the general population, and once he finds one that both seems alone and not particularly busy, he has his target.
To be honest, he wouldn't mind being alone for a little while to gather his thoughts and reflect on what's happening here and what happened before, but it seems practically impossible to find space to himself with the festival going on, so he settles for something a little more familiar: gathering information. Yes, he's already gone, having completed his last duty. That doesn't mean he's not curious about this place. (And, perhaps, a little uneasy about what's supposed to happen to him now. Nothingness might have been easier. If he could find some of the others who went before him, maybe...) ]
3. wildcard
[ whatever you like! as a heads up, i'm not interested in the nsfw options at this time, but everything else is cool; he'll be wandering around getting his bearings. as far as his living situation, he'd be going to the shared housing. ]

Normally, Genbu was the one who approached others and had to put in a bit of effort to win them over and show he's not a bad person. Considering he's, well, basically a horned giant.
It was very rare for someone to approach him of their own free will. Was this man perhaps blind? Or perhaps such humans like Genbu existed in his world? Well, it didn't matter. Genbu was grateful for the company.]
Hey hey! Make yerself comfortable!
[His voice is loud and boisterous, deep and merry. The Japanese he uses has a strong dialect of some kind.]
To answer yer question, I dunno! This would be my first time experiencin' somethin' as lively as this! Back home when I viewed the blossoms with my folks, it was either just us three or at a village that didn't have a lot of people.
[His speech also sounded a little...slurred. From the look of his face, it's clear he had been drinking a bit.]
Oh, but if ya mean if it's always like this year round, then nah, it's a seasonal thing!

She picked out her omikuji when she saw another person toss theirs in the trash, unopened. Well, that wasn't in the spirit of things. Kokoro picked his up before anyone could step on it, and pushed herself through the crowd. She was an especially tall young woman with candy pink hair. It wasn't easy to miss her, after all. Especially since she was yelling over the crowd.]
Oi! Excuse me! You dropped this!
