imeeji_frontstage | ♯ graduation ♫

Who: Sunset, Sol, and invited guests
Where: The park
When: Day 129, morning (forward-dated)

[ For those who were invited - and maybe those who were not - you find banners circling around one particular grove of trees like a fairy's circle, opening up at one end to an archway of flowers. Through the entrance you can see the banners reading "CONGRATULATIONS GRADUATES" and "HAPPY TRAVELS" in gold font atop red and blue banner cloth.

For those who are unaware, or those who don't go through the entrance, they'll find themselves unable to pass through the trees on either end - they'll find themselves pacing in the same place if they try to proceed, and nothing will go through. In fact, you can't even see past the trees without going through the entrance first - it's like a pocket dimension, or entering another world. How . . . strange. . .

Well - step through the entrance and you'll find music beginning to play, although there's no particular source. It seems to be the ambiance - well-fitting too, given the festivities going on!

(Stepping back out of the entrance completely stops the music, and you can't even see what's going on beyond the entrance until you step back in. Hhhhhuh.)

Anyway. On the rows of picnic cloth-covered foldable tables are an unusual mix of food and drink: bread dishes, meat skewers, roasted fish, stew, and ale . . . along with soda, fried chicken, takoyaki, various street fair food, and -. . . . conbini bento? The spread is all mixed together, like whoever set it up just has no idea how they were supposed to be organizing this. There are no chairs to sit on, however; every seat is a rooted tree stump, completely immovable.

A dazzling gold carpet rolls from the entrance to the very back, where a makeshift stage has been created. There are two large speakers that stand off center on either side of the stage, but neither of them are making the music happen . . . At the center, two mic stands with sparkling confetti boas wrapping around them: one is Taisho madder and the other is pep!pep! navy.

Oh and - there are just a few barrels near the trees, strewn about. What are they there for? Atmosphere??? You can't interact with them at all - it's like that awkward thing where the graphics weren't finely tuned enough so even trying to touch them just results in the attempting appendage hovering in place. That's weird.

Well.

Putting that all aside, it's a party! ]

[ Mixed feelings, here. Again, he's happy Sol gets to get out of here, but he's sad to see him go. Sol has been the heart as well as the voice of reason for Taisho and he doesn't know how they'll all cope with him gone.

Basically because they'll all miss him. Baron especially will miss him. ]

First time I've seen you so quiet.

It's the first time I can remember being this quiet.

He'll be okay.

I'm happy for him. I really am. It's just hard to think of being without him.

Yeah, saying goodbye always sucks. Especially with a good guy like Sol.

He really is a great guy.

[ He pauses and tries for a light joke ]

Now that Sol's going, I guess I'll have to concentrate on making Okami fat with baked goods and food.

Why do you want your unitmate to be fat?

Because I like spoiling people with food.

Baron! I'm sorry, I don't think there's anything you can eat here...

That's fine, I don't mind it.

[ He's going to drape himself on you though ]

[smiles, go ahead!]

There's not much to do other than eat, though.

I just want to spend a little time with you before you have to go.

[weh!]

Thank you. I'm glad I get to spend this time with you too.

Ah, I was wondering about this earlier... In the end, did you get any of our abilities?

I'm glad.

Yeah, I got Makes Perfect and Double take.

[takes out his phone

tap tap tap...]

Okay, now you'll have for three more. Please get In Solidarity and Swear On Your Honor if you can, since I won't be here to use them if the need comes up.

O-oi!

[ WHAT DOES HE EVEN SAY TO THIS ]

Thank you for coming, Baron!

I'm glad to be here to send you both off.

Edited 2019-06-21 09:25 (UTC)

I hope you like the food spread! It's probably not as good as your stuff, but...

It's fine. I can't eat human food regardless.

W-Wait, what?

I'm not human.

S-Seriously?!

Yeah.
