Who: Hiryuu, Leviathan, Heart Soldier Senshi, sensitIV, invited CR
Where: Ueno Park
When: Forward-dated to Night 346 (after the park is saved)

[ Heart Soldier Senshis and sensitIVs and CR related to Hiryuu and Leviathan would have already received this message earlier in the day (if they already haven't heard from their unitmates): a graduation ceremony will be taking place at Ueno Park in the evening, with an additional request for formal, traditional clothes as the dress code. Though, regardless of what you wear, you're allowed in all the same—even the grungiest of idols won't be bounced out of this party.

Still, you might feel out of place; a large papier-mache dragon greets you at the street market, led by a chorus of smaller papier mache lions in a parade of lanterns. They lead you past the shrine steps and to the lush Ueno Park, where street stalls are set with ghostly vendors—the most you can tell of them is that they're bandaged, or maybe those are white scales—which provide a rich array of Korean foods: if you're looking for a meal, you could go with spicy tteokbokki or savory tteokguk, steamed dumplings or dumpling soup, japchae noodles or jjajangmyeon, chicken soup or miyeokguk; if you're a meat lover there's all sorts of braised and grilled meats, chicken and pork and beef and fish and even bear; if you just want to get your appetite whetted you could try any number of battered and fried vegetables, or plain fruits if you want something really simple; if you want desserts, there's plenty of hotteok and hwajeon and bungeo-ppang and roasted sweet potatoes and rice cakes and candies of all kinds. For drinks, you could have water if you like it plain, or you could try the sikhye, or if you like alcohol you could try the soju or the azalea wine.

Nearer to the shrine steps they've set up a number of attractions: you could pick up the microphone and sing a song or give a speech, or jjoin the ghosts in dancing with or without (practice) swords, or you could try your hand at shooting (rubber-tipped) arrows with the archery targets, or you could just wrestle with a dude if you really wanted to. Alternatively, you could take a seat under any number of the blossoming trees, and nearer to the end of the festival-like graduation, fireworks begin to shoot up in the sky, blooming brightly in the night.

There are a number of red flowers that lead to the riverbank, where a boat carved into the likeness of twin dragons—one red, one white—sits on the shore. Once Hiryuu and Leviathan are ready to leave, they can take the boat down the river, their journey accompanied by lanterns that light up as they pass, through an archway that stretches from one side of the river to the other—too thin and too steep to be a bridge, it looks more like a gate. Once the boat crosses through the boundary, it will disappear completely, taking the two—and only them—out of Tokyo-F. ]
