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.

[ Watch fireworks from the hotel | Watch fireworks from Sumida ]

[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.]

I always play Cupid, except for the times when I am Venus.
samson: (kodokan blood judo)

[personal profile] samson 2013-07-21 03:19 am (UTC)(link)
That's, uh... love goddess, right? Or is that Aphrodite?
heloise: (& / little sister)

[personal profile] heloise 2013-07-21 03:25 am (UTC)(link)
They are one and the same. Cupid is also called Eros.
samson: (&doc;)

[personal profile] samson 2013-07-21 04:11 am (UTC)(link)
Really? Never heard of that one.
heloise: (@ / hairnet)

[personal profile] heloise 2013-07-21 05:30 am (UTC)(link)
Greek or Roman. Who would you be? Ares, the god of war?
samson: (&doc;)

[personal profile] samson 2013-07-21 05:47 am (UTC)(link)
I don't know. Is that what you think?
heloise: (& / fleet)

[personal profile] heloise 2013-07-21 06:37 am (UTC)(link)
No. You have none of the wrath.
samson: (hiding in the jungle to smoke)

[personal profile] samson 2013-07-23 05:44 am (UTC)(link)
[THAT'S WHAT YOU THINK.]

So? Who am I?
heloise: (++ / not love)

[personal profile] heloise 2013-07-23 12:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Hercules, for your might. I should call you Ercole from now on.
samson: (/smolder)

[personal profile] samson 2013-07-23 02:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Alright, I know who Hercules is... is Ercole the same guy?
heloise: (+ / crook)

[personal profile] heloise 2013-07-27 02:18 am (UTC)(link)
Ercole is Italian. Hercules, Latin, and the Greeks call him Heracles.

You must never shear your hair.
samson: (&doc;)

[personal profile] samson 2013-07-29 03:17 am (UTC)(link)
Well, sometimes it happens, but not by choice.
heloise: (& / mother)

[personal profile] heloise 2013-07-29 02:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Your wife?

[ Totally a wild guess. Not. ]
samson: (eyeroll)

[personal profile] samson 2013-08-01 05:01 am (UTC)(link)
Nah... this one time it got, like, burned off. There was a fire.

[Why else would it get burned off?]

Then this other time I had to put it on a shark to make this guy think the shark was me... which, uh, sounds kinda dumb when I say it out loud. Never mind.
heloise: (++ / both)

[personal profile] heloise 2013-08-01 02:13 pm (UTC)(link)
[ She's too much of a lady to laugh out loud... but maybe not. At least she tries to cover her mouth with her hand. ]

Was the shark as handsome as you?
samson: (/smolder)

[personal profile] samson 2013-08-06 04:21 am (UTC)(link)
Well, you know. He had better teeth.
heloise: (& / sidle)

[personal profile] heloise 2013-08-06 01:01 pm (UTC)(link)
But his nose has none of your grace, surely.
samson: (jokes w/ stupid hat)

[personal profile] samson 2013-08-08 02:53 am (UTC)(link)
[Pfffft, okay, he laughs again.] My nose?
heloise: (++ / unrivaled)

[personal profile] heloise 2013-08-08 01:28 pm (UTC)(link)
[ She turns to inspect the object in question. ]

Indeed. Your most elegant and graceful nose.
samson: (:])

[personal profile] samson 2013-08-11 11:53 pm (UTC)(link)
[He touches it experimentally.]

Never had anybody call it 'graceful' before.
lucre: (& / paolo)

[personal profile] lucre 2013-08-12 01:02 pm (UTC)(link)
How did others call it?
samson: (eyeroll)

[personal profile] samson 2013-08-16 05:00 am (UTC)(link)
Pfft... big? 'Beaky,' too.
lucre: (+ / who)

[personal profile] lucre 2013-08-17 04:21 am (UTC)(link)
[ She laughs. Sorry, not sorry. ]

Like an eagle's?
samson: (i think this might be a stupid idea)

[personal profile] samson 2013-08-21 04:36 am (UTC)(link)
[It's okay, he only looks... a little bit annoyed.]

Well, Mol does call me 'falcon,' so...
lucre: (& / paolo)

[personal profile] lucre 2013-08-21 12:57 pm (UTC)(link)
A term of endearment, surely. Falcons are gracious creatures.
