THE TANABATA FESTIVAL

[goldless]

[ It's a breezy summer day on Isle Bermuda. There are gulls crying, a few lazy clouds, and plenty of sunshine with a cooling wind.

Today also happens to be a special event! It's time for Tanabata, and seemingly out of nowhere, a thicket of bamboo has sprung up in the trees near the shoreline. Speaking of the beach, a festival seems to be underway; there are lanterns strung up, fresh food, and plenty of goat-people selling fresh food and games.

The festival goes long into the evening, so don't miss it!

The tradition of Tanabata, as you will notice, is to write a wish on a tag and hang it from a bamboo tree. So make a wish and hope for the best! ♥ And what's this? A mysterious, female voice is drifting along, carried by the wind; ]

The bamboo leaves rustle,
shaking away in the eaves.
The stars twinkle
on the gold and silver grains of sand.
The five-colour paper strips
I have already written.
The stars twinkle,
they watch us from heaven.

[Ambushed! Kaito turns to Lancer with desperate noise.]

I meant bigger ice creams!

[free_lancer]

Maybe you should be more specific then.

[recklessice]

It's specific! Well, it should be more specific then!

I want bigger, more variety, under the brand of Haagen Danz! How's that?!

[free_lancer]

That's perfectly specific.

[recklessice]

Am I right? Maybe I'll just rewrite that!

[Reaches the tag on the bamboo tree and rewrites everything.]

[free_lancer]

Is that allowed?

[recklessice]

It's not too late!

[Then he places the tag back at the same spot.]

Oh, you should write something too.

[free_lancer]

Ah, my wishes never quite go the way I'd hope.

[recklessice]

Hm? Why is that?

[Tilts head.]
