Tanabata, 7th of July (INVITE ONLY)

[ocean]

She nodded and crossed her arms in frustration.
"I'll wait for Lucia before doing anything. I can be a bit impulsive otherwise."

[Setsuna Makenshi]

Setsuna follows Lucia in, smiling softly. She wasn't wearing anything fancy...in fact, she was still in her work clothes, but she figured she'd at least put in an appearance "Yeah, it's my fault...it took me a while to realize I've never put on a kimono, so we both had to pretty much teach ourselfs...alot of trial and error..." She then smiles and looks to Tori "It's been a while, Tori-chan. How have you been?"

[tori]

"SET-CHAN!" Tori hugged Setsuna tightly, Abigael off to one side while she was also hugged Setsuna. "I've been doing great, how about you?"

[lynn]

"You mean never put one on yourself."
Linnis walked up from another direction, wearing a blue kimono with a hint of forest green. She had a silver tie in her hair and bowed politely to the Lantashes. She was a little pissy with them, but it wasn't going to spoil the evening.
"I usually help. Not that I'm complaining. Fun to do and looks good after. If you want, hun, we can head home and I'll put one on you."

[tori]

"LIN-CHAN!" Tori repeated (along with Abigael) the same greeting she had given to Setsuna.

[lynn]

Given Linnis' already sour mood, Tori's semi-glomp made her remarkably uncomfortable, slightly angry, and more than a little irritated. She showed exactly none of it.
"Nice... to see you.... too.... to..... tight.... can't.... breathe...."

[tori]

Tori let her go. "Sorry, it's just that we never get to talk like we use to." She laughed softly. "I guess I'm too happy that you came."

[kayla]

Kayla bowed and dismissed herself from everyone. She took cover at the empty area off to the side.

[Setsuna Makenshi]

Setsuna smiling, having braced herself as she expected the near-tackling hug. She then looks on as she nearly suffocates Linnis, who she walk up to, smiling as she takes her arm. She then looks around "Hm?...where's Noss?"

[lynn]

"Noss won't be coming... she's not been around much in the last few days. Not since...."
Linnis trailed off. There was no need to talk about it, really. Setsuna, Alicia and Lucia all knew what had happened between Kayla and Noss. Personally, she saw Kayla as the typical girl who messed with people's hearts to accomplish various goals, likely sexual in nature. Which was the same thing she thought about Noss' new girlfriend.
"... since we got that phone call about her from Campus Security. The thing in the Courtyard."

[ocean]

"Play nice, love... we'll have a stern chat with her later..."
Alicia whispered to Lucia, taking her hand and leding her through the area to Rommie and Danny.
"This is Lucia, call me Ocean, and we're a couple like you, and this poor Andromeda looks scared out of her wits."

[lightqueen]

Aya walked into the park wearing a simple white and red kimono. She looked around as everyone else knew each other and sighed a little, but she refused to let that bother her as she knew she would meet some people here. She walked around looking at all the different people and stands that had been set up, this being the first time she had ever seen a festival like this so everything was new to her. Aya wanted to walk up and talk to some people, but they all seemed so busy with another person she didn't want to interrupt.

She walked oer to a small bench and sat down, looking up at the sky. "At least it's nice here. I suppose that's a good thing." She said to herself while letting out a small sigh.

[danny]

She felt a little dragged around like a rag doll to be honest, but she was patient, and knew that Rommie was a fairly shy person, usually. She showed her support by taking Rommie's hand in hers and holding it tightly as she addressed Ocean and Lucia, "I'm Danny, Rommie's girlfriend. Pleased to meet you."

[ocean]

"The pleasure is ours."
Ocean bowed politely.

[Matt Miyama]

Some familiar faces, but most unfamiliar to Fai as he walked into park. He had received an invitation to attend this magnificent festival. Yet, despite the many friendly faces talking and enjoying the festival, Fai had stayed peacefully silent. He had taken a position underneath a tree, sitting and watching the people having a good time. Many couples were present and he had yet to see another single person.

He had taken a sketch pad and had begun to draw the scenery before him. He had begun sketching like this about 9 years ago, when he saw the view off of the Great Wall of China. When he first started sketching, he wasn't very good at it. But as he continued, he began to get better and better. The next time he had visited the Great Wall 4 years later, he was able to get a great sketch of the view. Even now, that sketch was on the wall behind the counter at the shop.

Now, nine years after he had started, he was extraordinary at sketching things. He was still far from perfect, but it was something he enjoyed to do, especially since he was settled down for now. The sketch was based on the festival itself, except it was without people. He would add in people later, to make it look less empty.

[kayla]

Kayla noticed Aya arrive at the festival. She got up and forced back her sorrow and pain from her face. She went up to her with a smile. "Hi! Welcome to the festival! I'm Kayla."

[lightqueen]

Aya looked at the girl that spoke and smiled. "Hello, I'm Aya. It's nice to meet you Kayla." She said while bowing slightly. "Are you here alone too?"

[kayla]

"Well, for now I'm here with my family." She motioned to her mother with a lift of her hand. "Sadly, I'm not currently welcomed near her companies presence..." She sighed and looked at her with a smile. "So, yeah, for now."

[lightqueen]

Aya looked at Kayla's mother then at the ground. "Your lucky to be here with family, even if other people are being mean you should be happy for what you do have." She looked at the other girl again, forcing a smile. "I'm here by myself."

[kayla]

Kayla felt bad suddenly. "Want to hang out with me then?" She offered her hand. "There are a lot of games and things that we set up for everyone."
