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.

Right... We'll be on our separate ways then?

[404_knight]

No one really has a separate way here. Not big enough.

But yeah, I should go recharge or whatever it is you humans think I do.

[pishirogane]

I... wasn't thinking any of the sort, but if that's how you want to put it.

[404_knight]

It is indeed.

Goodbye.

[And then Robo-Ky sits down, legs folded in a traditional japanese way. And then he just sits.]

[She stares at him for a few more seconds before deciding to turn away and head off.]

[404_knight]

[Robo-Ky immediately speeds past her, seemingly with tires on the bottom of his shins that he's now zipping along on.]

[pishirogane]

[She steps back, her eyes widening slightly when Robo-Ky rockets by. What? Uhm... well then.]
