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.]

[Huh?]

Yes. You haven't heard of them, then.

[97995]

Where are they located?

[assassino]

Florence and Venice are cities in the Italian peninsula.

Paradisa is... Well, if you do not know of Florence, the richest city in the world, then I doubt you have heard of Paradisa.

[She pauses, briefly, as if she's trying to figure out what to say.]

The Italian peninsula is... how far from here? From this city we're standing in?

[assassino]

[Now that's really confusing. He's almost completely forgotten about trying to hit on her.]

You do not even know where Italy is?

[97995]

[The flat look she gives him can pretty much be interpreted as 'no.']

Where?

[assassino]

The other side of the world, almost...

[97995]

[Her eyebrows raise at that. She nods firmly, apparently satisfied by this news.] Good.

[assassino]

[He frowns.]

Why is that good?

[97995]

Well, if I were you, I wouldn't worry about it.

[assassino]

I would like to know what I shouldn't worry about!

[97995]

That's not my problem. You won't see me again, so really.

[She turns to go.] I wouldn't worry about it.

[assassino]

[He reaches to grab her arm.]

No, wait.

[97995]

[Her response is to shoot a withering look at him and attempt to shrug her arm free.]

[assassino]

[FROWN.]

Madam, could I at least have your name?

[97995]

[The withering look continues.......]

No. [Now can she go?]

[assassino]

[He lets go of her, then, but he keeps his eyes on her.]

[97995]

[Do what you want, bro. She turns and leaves.]
