THE TANABATA FESTIVAL
[ 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.

[She keeps writing and scratches her head a few times.]
Ohh, I'll just work it out later!
[Yomiko holds up two sheets of paper and touches them end-to-end lengthwise. They snap together like magnets. There's a clear seam, but they hold together firmly.]
If we keep them off the ground, we can keep them from getting to wet and get a rough outline and size... provided I have enough paper, that is.
no subject
[Sorry. Distracted by how the paper is sticking together.]

[Yomiko heads over to a tree and tosses the double-sheet at the tree. It hits the tree like a bullet and anchors itself in the bark.]

How are they staying together?

[And with paper. Curious...]
no subject
... I think I'm gonna run out of paper.
no subject
Hm... I'd offer some notebook pages, but it wouldn't be enough.
no subject
The notebook might help...

[Naoto reaches into her pocket and draws out a pocket notebook. Its size might be the main problem.]

[Yomiko starts reeling her paper in.]
Maybe we can try this again later.
no subject
[Though, can't this be done another way?]

Wait!
[Yomiko looks up and adjusts her glasses slightly.]
Wait, no, that wouldn't work.

[Right now, the floor is open to suggestions.]

Yes. I understand why.
