隅田川花火大会 SUMIDAGAWA FIREWORKS FESTIVAL

[tokyodisa]

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.]

Castle-san. [Conan didn't sound very enthused.]

[Castle swallows his mouthful, looking down at Conan with concern and resisting the urge to squat down to be more level with him.]

Not on much of a party mood, eh?

[deductiongeek]

Not really. This looks like home, but it isn't it.

[thebestseller]

You're from Tokyo?

[Castle then frowns.]

... I imagine I'd feel the same way if this suddenly turned into New York City. Looking like all the places you're familiar with, but you know it's not home, since you're still stuck with everyone else.

[deductiongeek]

From Beika City. It doesn't seem to exist in this copy of Tokyo.

[thebestseller]

That's a huge bummer- so not only is it not your Tokyo, you can't even go to a version of where you're from. You headed back to the hotel, or are you gonna stay here a while?

[deductiongeek]

I'm staying out. There isn't much of a point in going back to the hotel.

[Castle gives him a smile.]

I won't bother you if you don't want to be bothered, then.

[deductiongeek]

[He crosses his hands behind his head and looks away.]

I don't mind.

[thebestseller]

You sure? 'cause I'd be happy to let you quietly slink away and pretend we never saw each other.
