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.

Dante | Devil May Cry

[demonrebel]

PUPPY MADNESS - (Open)

['Man, Patty would’ve loved this.'

That’s the first thought that crosses Dante’s mind once he arrives at the picnic. While he loves a good party, picnics aren’t really his thing. He doesn’t even remember the last time he gone to a picnic. His mother used to do that back when he and Vergil were kids. It’s been decades now and Dante can’t help but feel he doesn’t belong here. Maybe it’s all the flowery pastels and pinks that put him slightly on edge but then again, he kind of likes it. Dante doesn’t know the first thing about decorating but he has to admit, Majima really outdid himself here. He already knows Majima can’t cook worth a damn, so he suspects the catering. There’s no way that a yakuza dude could also be a four-star chef and baker. Majima is a talented dude and all but he’s not that talented.

However, the main feature of today’s picnic isn’t really the food but more or less the cute little corgi puppy nipping at everyone’s heels. Dante never had a dog growing up but he always wanted one. He likes animals in general but like most folks, he has a soft spot for dogs.]

Hey there, buddy. [He whispers once the curious pup makes his way towards him.] Aw, look at you! I bet you’re a real lady killer with those eyes.

[Dante kneels down before the puppy so it can sniff his hands. Most animals tend to dislike the supernatural but this gorgeous pup doesn’t seem to mind him at all. It takes a moment for Taro to warm up to him but when he does, Dante finds himself on the receiving end of dreaded puppy breath and an impromptu tongue bath.]

Whoa, whoa! Hold on, sport!

[He does his best to keep the excitable pup at bay but the playful Taro wants to play.]

JUST A SWEET TOOTH - (Open)

[No matter what Dante does, he tends to stick out like a sore thumb.

The esteemed devil hunter missed the memo regarding the dress code here for today’s lovely picnic. While he’s not wearing his usual red leather duster and a ratty t-shirt, he definitely sticks out like a sore thumb in all that red and black. Dante didn’t know what to wear to this sort of thing and he’s not really a fan of kimonos. However, he tried to clean up a little bit with this bespoke suit that is a near-perfect replica of his past attire. It might be a little too goth for this pretty pastel little picnic among the flowers but Dante was never the type to follow a crowd.]

I hope this little picnic comes with some good sake.

[He mutters before trying one of the delectable desserts on display. Who would’ve guessed this overgrown badass devil hunter has a sweet tooth? Dante has a strong preference for anything sugary and fluffy. He’s the kind of guy who prefers ice cream over sorbet. So if there’s anything sugary and high in calories, he’s definitely devouring it.]

[ It's been quite some time since Azem has attended a picnic. Back home they used to find a lovely location somewhere on their travels and make note of it just so they could take friends out there later to enjoy a good meal and company. This place doesn't afford such locals quite as often. So they're more than pleased to be attending. As usual, they stand out with their ridiculously colorfully patterned clothing.

Especially now that Hythlodaeus is here. Whom they bring along so they can properly introduce him to quite a few of their new friends.

They're happy to mingle. Munching on or sipping something as they chat with anyone. And they're absolutely delighted to play with the puppy if it so allows. They might even conjure up a treat or two to sneak to the pup. ]

[medicative]

[the harmony of Tanabata was ruined by the events in the end, so Emily checks and triple checks that things will be fine for this. actually wrangling people to take time for themselves was an event in itself - something unrelated to politics or needing to eavesdrop or whatever else the clans wanted. a picnic, then, was easy to work with.

and to her, it's mostly the chance to meet new people. when she's not doting on Taro, getting him used to people, she wants to talk to others, and take the opportunity to make new friends. at the same time, she is occasionally taking photos of this day. so if there are some candid shots in with the posed ones...well. that's just par for the course, right? though it's easy to catch her and demand to look.

mingling will be enough to keep her mind off the persistent itch in the back of her head that she needs to do something. look, she's as bad at taking time off as some of the other people are.]
