隅田川花火大会 SUMIDAGAWA FIREWORKS FESTIVAL
Who: Everybody!
What: Tokyo Day Three: fireworks festival
When: Thursday, 18/July -- evening
Where: Hotel or Sumida
Rating: pretty
Tonight, in the sky, there are fireworks.
You can see them from the hotel window, but for a better look -- so suggests the helpful concierge at the desk -- you'll want to head to Sumida, where locals and tourists alike gather on the edge of the Sumida River.

[Technically the festival is supposed to happen on the last Saturday of July, but whatever! It's Paradisa. For more information on the festival please visit here, and you can watch YouTube videos here.]

Climb everything with more than ten floors. And yes, she can totally do it even in her outfit.
Of course, once things start exploding in the sky, she kind of has to stop and watch. The fireworks in Paradisa had been nice, but there's just something a little more spectacular about these ones.]
no subject
He whistles at her from the ground.]
no subject
Coming up?

no subject
Want to race... to the top?
no subject
Of course, dolcezza!
no subject
If he's not very fast too, she might beat him. She feels a desire to prove herself now, after she let him catch her in the hallway on his birthday.]
no subject
Connor is coincidentally already on top of the same building, and once the fireworks start, he moves closer to the edge to get a better look. But he also happens to glance down.]
You should either come up or go down.
no subject
Up is better. Hi Connor.
no subject
Hello, Cass. I did not know you also climb.
no subject
Whenever I can. Like it, being up high. [She points to the building across from theirs that's quite a few stories taller.] That one's next.
no subject
He follows where she's pointing and nods.]
Where I am from, the buildings are not this tall. But we have trees this height -- and cliffs as well, beyond that height.
no subject
Gotham's a lot... like this city. I'd missed it, so... this is really nice.
[She'd been so homesick, but seeing a real city again has been very nice. She even blends in here, where in Gotham and Bludhaven most of the people she knew were American.]
no subject
Is all of America like this in your time?
no subject
[More crime to stop, more people to punch in the face for fun.]
no subject
Are there still forests? There must be.
no subject
[It seems important to tell him that, for some reason. For him to know there are still natural places, places that are still more green and clean than grey and dirty.]
no subject
He looks at her for a moment, then turns his gaze back out over the city. There are so many lights, even without the fireworks, and it's extremely disorienting.]
Just before I came here... to Paradisa. I went to a city for the first time. It is called Boston, if it is still there in your time. And there are -- there were -- so many people in this place, all sorts of people and sounds. Smells. I worry that places like Boston will keep swelling with people, to become places like this. [He gestures out at Tokyo with a nod.] And I worry they will take over the forests, and the animals that live in them. And I worry for the people, too.
no subject
Never been there. Lots of cities there... are like this. But lots of places... still have nothing. Few people, few buildings. Where I grew up... was just one dojo, one... training house. Nothing else, for miles.
no subject
That sounds lonely.
no subject
[She nods to the city, which is beautiful and like looking at home to her but so different, for him.]
no subject
I wonder if the places I know are still the places with trees.
no subject
[But she doesn't think there is anything to say, so Cass just slips her hand from one shoulder to the other, effectively putting her arm around him. She gives him a little squeeze, a half hug as she looks out over the city as well.]
no subject
He's quiet for a little while, thinking. Paradisa was culture shock enough, but Tokyo is really throwing him for a loop.]
If we are ever taken to the land of my people, I will show you what it is like there.
no subject
Good. Would like that. When we go back... to castle? Can live in forest, for awhile. We'll camp, or something. Will be good.
[Not home, but something close to it at least.]
