grasshopper picnic hydrangea on the menu beauty and the beast Majima had a lot of people to coordinate, so the calendar invites were sent to phones a few weeks ago. The festival was a working event for him, not something he could really relax for. As a compromise to those who wanted to spend more time with him, he's arranged the picnic. No, he didn't make any of the food, don't be ridiculous. He paid a caterer. He and the birds did, however, find a few thrift stores to rummage up blankets, baskets, and pillows. The flowers arranged around the area are an array of different colored hydrangeas chosen by Emily from Aerith's shop. There is also a corgi puppy lying on a blanket and watching with curious, baleful eyes. He is a visitor from Izo's shelter. Taro needs help with his socialization, be gentle with him! 🧺🌺🐶 The three of them are there ahead of everyone, playing with the puppy and drinking tea and snacking on fruit. But they're waiting for you; the river glittering at a distance. The weather is good and the company is fine. Say hello to your illustrious hosts: 🐍🕊️🦅

(CLOSED) EMILY & IZO

[ It was too much food to reasonably expect them to make it, but they've taken the time to prepare some other things. Blankets and baskets picked out of thrift shops and cleaned up a bit to provide some bespoke comfort to the picnic. They come early to lay those things out and to spend some time that is just the three of them. As requested, Majima pulled out a yukata to wear for them; a simple wave pattern in blues and purples so they could get a festive picture. They were patient enough that he had an image to present at the festival, but this is their time now.

He's the tallest of the three of them, so he dumps them both into his lap where everyone's faces can get in frame for this picture when he ducks down a little. Emily has her arm extended, trying to figure out the shadows and proportions of the frame. Majima leans forward past their shoulders, looking at the puppy asleep on the corner of the blanket. ]

Shouldn't he be in th'picture?

[ He nudges Izo. ]

INTRODUCTIONS (HANDWAVE)

We'll all die if we do too many multi-person threads, so anyone who would like to be introduced to Emily & Izo by Majima, please handwave that. Make it so and be free.

1:1

[ He's drinking sake to keep the snake appeased. Besides, what else are you even supposed to drink at a picnic in the park? It isn't at any set interval, but Majima does the basic duty of rotating between different guests to say hello. The whole point was to spend time with people. So he'll refill drink, steal snacks off your plate with a smile, or just sit down nearby to talk over a cigarette. A lot of these people are chain-smokes. Sorry.]

Hey.

[ Izō is a little preoccupied with looking decent for the photo to understand the question immediately. ]

Huh?

[ He follows Majima's motion and then it clicks. Well...The little guy is important to him and a cute puppy only makes a group photo better. He carefully picks up the sleepy pup, who whines a little at being woken up.

Taro decides the best place to be is tucked into Izō's yukata with his head poking out. Izō only has himself to blame for that... ]

Whatcha think, Em?

[medicative]

Perfect.

[she pets the little head, and readjusts so that his face can also be in the shot. it'll be a little full, but everyone will be there - that's the important part. letting go of it being exact in favor of it being something where it comes out alright, and she tucks herself a little closer to them both.]

Okay, I'm going to count down, and then you smile - if you've got your eyes closed, I'll have to retake this.

[Taro excepted. he can do as he pleases.]

[no_kyouken]

[ He squeezes them in close to him, puppy and all. A small but genuine smile fits to his mouth. There's probably some picture like this of him and the Saejima siblings, he hopes that Yasuko has it, and that it's better than nothing. He hopes that this one can stay with Izo and Emily for a good long while too.

He holds still for the fake shutter closing from the phone, then he swoops in to kiss Emily on the cheek. ]

[heretic_blade]

[ Even Izō gives a proper smile, warm and gentle. It'll be a moment he'll cherish for a long time. Peaceful, happy, warm. What a rare combination.

He can't help but laugh, bright and cheerful, when Majima goes to kiss Emily and he also can't help but lean up to kiss Majima on the cheek in turn.

This was a good idea. ]

[medicative]

[she'll have to lean across Majima, but it means she can kiss Izo on the cheek as is proper. he can't be the only one here unkissed. this memory is something she's tucking into her heart to keep, even if this city decides to throw another awful moment towards them.

and then kissing Majima's cheek as she settles back where she was, because why move just yet?]

Do you want one or two copies made?

[because obviously? they're getting one?]

[no_kyouken]

Two.

[ Then he can put one in his wallet. He sits back on his hands, one knee relaxed out. He reaches over and ruffles Taro's ears back and forth a few times. ]

[heretic_blade]

[ He laughs again when Emily kisses him in turn, as warm and bright as before. Something soft for him to keep close to his heart as long as it beats.

Izō settles in, too, unwilling to move just yet. His excuse is it's for Taro's sake, the sleepy pup nearly asleep where he's nestled in Izō's yukata. He barely stirs when Majima strokes his ears. ]

This was a real damn good idea...'S nice jus' t' take a moment t' breathe, ya know?
