Yuki blinked, tilting her head very slightly as she looked up at Shinku again. "A k-kimono?" she asked, and then fell silent for a moment. She might, actually... There was a contest? She blinked a couple times more and then glanced down at the obento for a moment, watching as he took some more food from it. She somewhat wanted to eat since everyone around seemed to be, but she really didn't want to ruin the day by making herself sick. She sighed quietly and then shifted her gaze back to him. "Should I g-go... change into i-it?" she asked uncertainly.

"Only if you want to... And it's supposed to be for the contest... I think it would be smarter to wait for the contest then stay in your kimono after the contest..." Shinku said quietly as he took a large bite out of the rice ball while laying down. "But if you'd rather put it on now you can..." He said quietly. He took another few bites from the rice ball quietly as he looked around the picnic area.

Yuki blinked and then nodded her head. "Ok, I-I'll wait," she said softly. But a contest... Did that mean she would have to stand in front of a lot of people and be judged or something? She felt her face flushing red at the very thought, and her tail almost wound nervously around her waist, but she managed to keep it from doing so. She sighed quietly, watching the blanket now as her hands fidgited with the hem of her dress. She highly doubted she could win any contest with her simple kimono, but she guessed it was worth a try...

Rivera smiled, looking a little wistful. "I probably won't... not unless if I'm really lucky..." She looked into the distant sky, resting her head against Kira's shoulder. "I don't think I ever told you this... you don't know what you've got till it's gone, after all." Rivera didn't look like she was thinking of sad things at all. In fact, she seemed more cheerful than usual, despite her ill ease. "I was born blind. The magic of my dragon eye can spread to my left eye and let me see better than the average person when I have my full magical power. It also lets me sense auras and tells me where I'm going. Right now, I can't sense very well and I can barely see at all... I'm getting around by sound and mild echos, but it's hard to react to it." She sighed. "I should be able to see again by tonight... but it won't be clear until tomorrow or the day after. You'll have to describe to me what the rules for the games are..." Rivera smiled at him.

Kira looked at her with a slight surprise in his eyes. "You're blind then?" He asked quietly. He took a deep breath and nodded quietly. "Yeah... I'll describe the games and the rules for you..." He said quietly. With that he let her lean against him and guided her toward the game booths. She's blind right now... That's just great... Oh well... She's a strong girl... She'll make it through... He thought as they walked to the games.
Picking up another rice ball, Shinku bit into it quietly. He could feel Kira and Rivera's aural presence growing farther away. Good... It would be better if everyone just avoided each other... He thought as he stuffed another bite of the rice ball into his mouth. "You should relax... Just lay back if you want..." He said simply.
((Riyo next post at the game booth))

Yuki looked back up at him and slowly nodded her head. "Y-yeah..." She'd been told that so many times; just relax. She sighed and glanced around, looking at scenery rather than people, and then let herself flop onto her back. Her knees were bent and set together, poking into the air, as her tail wound slightly around her waist with just the tip flicking the blanket she was lying on. She kept her eyes closed for a moment, and then blinked them open again as she gazed straight upwards, watching the clouds drift past, and the cherry blossoms floating through the air. She smiled quietly, her hands folded together on her stomach and her long silver hair spread out around her.

Shinku took another bite from his rice ball and looked over at Yuki. "See? It's so much better to relax... Instead of always being nervous or scared... You just gotta learn to kick back, relax, and take a load off..." He said simply as he finished his rice ball and stretched with one had to his side and his other reaching upward, as if into the sky. "For once I gotta say... I like these surroundings..." He said smiling and closing his eyes, as he stifled a yawn.

Yuki nodded her head slowly, watching him for a moment out of the corner of her eyes. "Y-you're right," she agreed, a soft smile upon her lips now. She shifted slightly, spreading her ankles further apart but keeping her knees together as she lay on her back still watching the sky. "I like th-them too..." she agreed again, still using a voice just above a whisper, and her face was still a very faint pink, but that was normal. It was very rare for her to have absolutely no blush at all.

GOrdon's eyes widen as he realized he ate all this girls food. " I'm so sorry. I'll make it up to you some how.... I got it!" he said flying up into the sky disappearing after awhile. Shepard looked confused not knowing what Gordon was up to. About ten minutes Gordon came bacvk with a large black box in hand.
He spread a pinic blanket and pressed something. The box suddenly spat out sandwhiches, soup, a cooler with drinks, chips and snacks, and pudding. Gordon smiled. " Hey I thought I borrow your dad's food invention Shepard he won't mind" Gordon said laughing.

"Eh? Idol?" AI said kind of surprised as she rubbed the back of her neck, laughing uneasily. She wasn't so sure if she was the idol type. Who wants to be stupid like me. As well as being aloof, clumsy, and sometimes too kind. she thought as she placed more dishes into the basket.
"No problem, Makie! But really I should be saying Thank You. You're one of the few friends that actually stays by my side and encourages me to stride to my dreams. People like you make me very happy and makes me want to be stronger!" she said as she continued picking up dishes such as spoons and forks. During this, Oliver wasn't running in circles anymore but he was climbing the Sakura Tree's; he is truly everything but the kitchen sink.
"Haha! AI strong! Good one! You didn't even get past the first match in the tour-" Oliver's sentence was caught short as Ai threw a pan at his face, this caused Oliver to fall off the branch face first. "Don't ever talk about that!" she said as she tightened her fist and had this very-scary-Ai look.
".. heh.. " Ai said uneasily as she lightly chuckled, trying act like nothing happened. "Okay then! Lets go to the Karaoke area!" she said with a bright smile on her face, the wind blowing her lavender hair as she finished placing all the leftover food and dishes in the basket.
(( Next post to the Karaoke area, Makie!))

Sakura blossoms swirl around Seira as she walked through the picnic grounds. Their soft delicate fragrance filling the air. Petals landing on her snow white hair like a tiny crown of flowers. “Its so beautiful isn’t it Miss Seira?” The tiny little android exclaimed in awe. “Is this what it is like to be in a dream?” Seira just simply nodded in reply as she careful knelt down to adjust the strap on her wooden sandal.
Seira wore a white kimono which faded to a soft baby blue at the bottom with the delicate details of falling feather adorning it. Around her waist she wore a sky blue sash with a dark blue cord wrapped around it to secure it in place. The cord was wrapped twice around her waist and then tied into a three loop knot with was held in place in by the soft aqua colored brooch with a white feather embedded in it that Seira normally wore between her collarbone. Seira had left her hair down for a change instead of tying it back in some form which was her usual fashion, and fasten her other brooch in her hair much like a decorative clip. To others it may have seen like a lot but to Seira it wasn’t that much. All she had done was use her power to change the micro-optical fibers in her clothing and make them appear in any form she choose. She had even done the same for Wisp so her tiny little android companion could wear kimono of her own.
As more people started to gather Seira became very uncomfortable. She didn’t like crowds of people, even more so when she noticed quite a few people where now looking at her. Too many people... She needed a place to hide. With a graceful leap she disappeared up into one of the near sakura trees. She should be safe here she thought to herself as she carefully leaned back in the tree’s branches. Quietly watching the motion of the sakura blossoms at they swirled towards the ground. It’s just so peaceful here. Reaching out her hand she caught a falling petal, it was so soft it felt as if it would fall apart in her hand. Petals falling and their scent surrounding her it almost felt like time could stop. The world just seemed to fade away as Seira slowly drifted off into dreams of happy memories. Memories of being with her parents at the Sakura Festival again just like when she was a child. All the while, totally unaware that one her wooden sandals was slipping off her foot which was loosely dangling over a tree branch, and it was heading straight towards the head of a blonde haired young man below.
( xd Look out below!!! ^^ Sorry couldn't help it. 3nodding Misao I think Rachel's brother Joseph is in for a bit of a surpise. xd )

People say if you stand under chery trees too long you go insane. Stev was at his breaking point. "Dont forget the mission....." Rivera was right in front of him
"Just bring her to me in the Ancient forest...use any means nessisary but dont mention me!"
She was surrounded by friends. This wouldnt be easy.

Taking advantge of anyone wasn't Stev's style, neither was taking advantage of weak people.....or blind people.
"Hey guys!" Stev strolled over to were everyone was sitting. He let Kuma loose and sat down on his knees.
