Who: Pep + friends + park people?
Where: Shinjuku Gyoen park
When: Day 348, afternoon

[Passerby walking along the park a few blocks from the JR Kyushu Hotel might notice all of pep!pep! lounging on a large picnic blanket beneath the cherry trees.

And what would cherry blossom viewing be without the appropriate snacks? Several boxes of bento are laid out on the blanket, as well as cookies, dango, and all sorts of drinks.]

Hey, squeeze in… I want every Pep in this shot.

[Gladio’s got his phone out, gathering every pep in for a selfie with the blossoms in the background]

... or else I'm pasting awkward pics of all of you in this photo.

[romanticlove]

So, what you're saying is you have a stash of candids somewhere?

[send_noods]

Pfff, I'm just snatch 'em off our photo wall. Right there for the taking!

[romanticlove]

You could always take new ones for the photo wall I guess....

[In the far background pretending to be a miniature Pink who is jabbing Gladio with his prayer staff.]

[it's too pretty and peaceful to yell. Have a text instead]


Gladio: I see you back there

[worldlyafflictions]

[Reads his phone. Does a little 'nyah nyah' dance.]

[nutsandrevolts]

[PATTING HER HAIR FRANTICALLY]

I haven't got a petal in it, have I? I thought I felt something land on my head...

[romanticlove]

[Ren is here, enjoying her food and also texting various people to come join them!]

It's so nice here!

[nutsandrevolts]

Renny! We gotta guard it!

[romanticlove]

Guard it? From who?

[wonderlandgirl]

It is, isn't it? I'm glad we all managed to do this again.

[romanticlove]

Me too. I feel like we should do more things like this together.

[Hyacinth is going to attempt to steal some food while they're not looking.

He's not very subtle, though.]

[send_noods]

Not very sneaky. No style points for you.

[stirtheblood]

If I was goin' for style, I wouldn't go for "sneaky."

[romanticlove]

Thievery is not permitted!

[Have a school girl with horns wings and a tail standing right behind you, Hyacinth.]

[stirtheblood]

...

[turns and grins]

Well, yeah. Ain't really thievery otherwise.

[nutsandrevolts]

[Neither is she as she points at him and bellows with impressive volume for her very short stature:]

THIEF! SCOUNDREL! RUFFIAN! UNHAND THE FOODSTUFFS!

[stirtheblood]

[stands up taller with a foodstuff in hand]

Stop describin' me and make me!

[quickpersuader]

[Honestly just napping under the cherry blossoms once they're done with photos and food.

or are they?

They do crack an eye open to glance over when they hear people nearby, bringing up a hand in a lazy wave.]

[send_noods]

Well you look relaxed.

[quickpersuader]

It would be a crime not to take a break on such a nice day.

[Wednesday appears to be trying to write a letter.

[The operative word here is 'trying', because between the breeze and her inability to come up with anything good to say, she's actually mostly just staring at a cute notebook she has balanced on one knee and tapping a pen against her lips.]

Hmm... I'd try to write a haiku, but I've never been good at poems...
