[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.]

You should wear it more often. You look great! I don't think I can pull off a yukata that well.

[Chie tilted her head, lightly rubbing the back of her head]

But now that we're here, do you want to hang out? You know, unless you're hanging out with someone else already.

[xss]

Oh no, I'm not hanging out with anyone else! I came here by myself... so I'd love to!

[pint_sized_carnivore]

Awesome! I'd love to hang out with you! [Chie gave Chihiro a big, friendly hug. She paused and furrowed her brows for a second, as if a lightbulb just lit up. But she lets go like nothing was wrong... Oh shit]

[xss]

[YOU INABA GIRLS AND YOUR HUGS although Chihiro gets a weird sense that something was off about that pause]

Eh?

[pint_sized_carnivore]

Hmm? What's wrong?

[Chie chose to ignore it for a while. She could be mistaken]

[xss]

Um...

[Maybe it was just her imagination]

N-Nothing...

So um... what should we do...?

[pint_sized_carnivore]

Up to you! I haven't seen enough of the stalls to know which ones to check out.

[xss]

Mmm... all I've done so far is eaten...

Maybe we could check out some of the game stalls...? [CAN SHE CATCH A GOLDFISH THAT MIGHT BE FUN... OR SHOOT THINGS...]

[pint_sized_carnivore]

Sure thing! [Chie looks around for a game stall they could go to... Bingo!]

Oh, look. There's those goldfish ones right next to the shooting stall!
