a flower viewing meme

"Hanami (花見?, lit. "flower viewing") is the Japanese traditional custom of enjoying the beauty of flowers, "flower" in this case almost always meaning cherry blossoms ("sakura") or (less often) plum blossoms ("ume")... The blossom forecast (桜前線 sakura-zensen?, literally cherry blossom front) is announced each year by the weather bureau, and is watched carefully by those planning hanami as the blossoms only last a week or two. In modern-day Japan, hanami mostly consists of having an outdoor party beneath the sakura during daytime or at night." - wiki

where ① picnic Time to break out the booze and spend the day under the branches of some flowers! Enjoy the beauty while it lasts. ② from inside Maybe you're sick or stuck at work. Maybe you've just got allergies. Either way you can't go outside right now. ③ a stroll Just a simple stroll is sometimes all it takes to truly take in the flowers ④ a roof top Hey, some people like to lurk around on roof tops. And that can be the perfect place to view them. ⑤ wild card Anyway you want it why ① nostalgia maybe this is something like you did with your own family. Or close to it. Whatever it is, these falling flowers have you yearning for yesteryear ② celebration a celebration of new life, of spring, there's plenty to be happy about with this new burst of color. ③ sadness Perhaps these flowers reign in something else entirely. They're a reminder of how things die out so quickly. How beauty is only fleeting... ④ anger Fucking flowers. Why don't they just die already. ⑤ wildcard that's the way you need it.

Hnngh...?! My sword hand twitches...my blood boils...no! Danger approaches! Look out!

[And this is a godsdamned dramatic moment as Owain shoves Lon'qu out of the path of danger as a wayward bit of...bird-based...mess...uh, you know, that stuff...splatters where they had stood.




...wow, talk about a ruined moment. What were they doing again?]

[Currently, Doremi was talking a walk by herself and admiring the scenery of the cherry blossoms. It was that time of the year where spring was in the air. Her friends were busy today to hang out, so she was alone. A part of her wishes that she had a boyfriend to do something cherry blossom viewing with since it would be romantic.]

Waaah... Everything looks so pretty! [But this would have to do.] Spring's gotta be my favorite time of the year.

3, a stroll, 1, nostalgia

They're always beautiful. Durga walks, slow, and some still-child part of her hopes a few petals will be caught in her hair. That, or she'll pick some and pretend they did.

"Is your whole..." Durga furrows her brow briefly. "...Country like this? The festivals must be incredible!"

They near a little bridge. Flowers aren't the only thing to look at - lot of ponds and colorful stone patterns, too. And a little later, in evening, fireworks.

Ammy snuffled around the various picnic spreads set up around the hilled area of trees, snorting once or twice when she accidentally inhaled a petal. Eventually, her searchings brought her across an unfamiliar (but interesting) scent.

Eagerly, she bounded across the hillside and pressed a cold, moist nose at Eirika.

[Although they were classmates or something, Ib didn't actually know Veronica very well. But she seemed sort of lonely, so Ib thought now would be a good time to extend a hand, and invite her to her family's cherry blossom picnic.

But... is this really Veronica's house? It looks really spooky... Nevertheless, Ib makes her way up to the door and rings the bell...]

[Rapunzel is using the picnic basket - its contents emptied onto her and Merida's blanket, of course - to bolster her chances and her height towards getting a hold of one of the blossoms on the lower hanging branches.]

I've- [Grab, grab.] -never seen flowers like this before, not even in my botany handbook!

[ Elbows propped on the sill with her chin resting in her hands, Katherine was staring out the window with a somewhat glum expression on her face. Her nose was still red from sneezing so much and a little head-achey, but it was an improvement from before. Ombric had given her a potion to help her when she had become sick, though there were some things that just needed time to get over.

But that meant the girl was restricted to staying within Big Root and could only watch as the other children played with one another and Bunnymund's mechanical eggs under the trees. There were trees with their blossoms were in bloom, swaying gently as a cool breeze passed through. Katherine sat there watching them as she tried not to think about the stern lecture Ombric had given her about staying inside. ]

I'm feeling fine, honest.

[ She muttered this to herself, not aware if anyone was around or not. ]

4/1. /inflicts my terrible voicetesting on you again :D;;?

[youreascuteasadeadpuppy]

[Aren't rooftops great? You can sit up there with the birds and the cats (though usually not both at the same time) and enjoy the view! And what a nice view it is here.

Sorry, Rufure, you've now got a noisy mass of crows on your roof. Making a fuss and probably implying some really bad omen. Possibly in the middle of the night. It's easy enough to figure out what the source is, even if it might be difficult to see the silver hair under all those black feathers...]

RNG said 3 and 1, so stroll & nostalgia it is

With the flowers lining the path the pair were walking, Leon always secretly loved this time of year. He always said it was such a pain and there were too many insects or whatever, but he would sit and admire the flowers at night when everyone else went to sleep.

But for now Leon turned his head towards his blonde headed companion briefly before continuing on. "Brings back a lot of memories." While it was true he didn't wax poetic, Cloud was one of extremely few people that Leon would let his hair down around, so to speak.

where: 3, why: 5? feel free to add/change what you like! ;w;

[theotherpromise]

[with the arrival of spring and his little to zero knowledge of flora himself, roxas had accepted alois's invitation (or demand, rather, though roxas would have been inclined to accept anyway) to view the flowers that had begun to bloom.

he's dressed differently than his usual coat; simple blue jeans, a pair of simple and faded sneakers, and a black woolen sweater, all picked from whatever ruins he had excavated since his arrival. it's chilly, but not enough for him to keep his Organization cloak on, as breathable as it always was. he feels more comfortable this way.]

I didn't think there would be flowers in a place like this. Is it normal for people to just go out and look at plants?
