[He opens the journal and speaks quietly, hoping not to disturb anyone.]

...It's been a bit cold lately, hasn't it... I hope everyone is faring well with the weather being as it is.

In my country, three days of cold are followed by four days of warm until the fully warm days of spring arrive and bring with them the cherry blossoms. [...I...was ( Read more... )

Oh, cherry blossoms. They smell totally nice! [He knows because of perfumes. He's never really been to a cherry blossom tree up close.]

And oh my gosh, finally. It looks cool, right?

Yes, the light scent of the blossoms is very relaxing. [Oddly enough, the Japanese can smell them even if...there is little to smell.]

Ah...and I hope it is to your liking, Poland-san.

[In fact, it looks like this with an HD display, Blu-ray and DVD capabilities and it comes with a remote of course.]

It is? I've just like, worn perfumes and stuff. [That's pretty talented.]

Well, if it's cooler than the last one, totally.

[...Yeah, he'll love it. But then get bummed he doesn't have DVDs.]

[Perfumes. ...He isn't going to ask.] Perhaps you would like to come out...?

...I will bring it by shortly.

[And he can borrow DVDs! Or ask Bil for them.]

The cherry blossoms haven't fallen, yet. [As she's been taking care of each and every one, and promoting their growth with her brush.]

And I'm sure they'd like the company. I haven't had time to plan for a hanami this year, but I'd love to do it sometime, hopefully...

Ah... Thank you for informing me.

[After a short pause, he continues.]

...Perhaps this Sunday? It seems the weather is holding.

[Miyabi makes a quiet noise and nods to the thanks, then thinks. She's never too busy, but she is terribly forgetful sometimes, especially when priorities roll over her.]

Mm, you can visit the flowers anytime you'd like, sir. But as for the hanami...eh, I've never really been good at planning big things like that. Maybe I'll talk to someone else about it. [From what she's learned, a lot of people were interested in it, and that alone made her happy and wanting to go about it.]

Ah...I can organize that, if you would like. It is a seasonal pasttime for my people and I am the one intruding, so it would be impolite of me to ask you to organize.

Hm. Getting to be that time again already, isn't it? [Not like back in the Colony, where the cherry blossoms were just always falling. Still, it's about time for her to go and pay some respects.]

...Should probably go see them myself.

I would be honored by your company, Baiken-san.

[Soft snort.] ...Might not be too bad. When were you gonna go?

[Robert recognizes that quiet, formal voice quite well. It's been quite awhile, though...]

Ah, Mr. Japan. I trust you have been keeping well?

... The trees must be spectacular viewing at this time. I hear that Prunus serrulata have some of the most pleasant blossoms... Perhaps I ought to go out myself.

[And more excitedly:] I also recently received my nanocomputer - perhaps at some point we could convene and I could demonstrate it for you?

Professor Hastings... Yes, thanks to everyone's kindness, I have been doing well. It is kind of you to ask. Have you been well?

[Formal formal formal.]

Ah, if you have never seen them, then I do suggest it. The sakura are very representational of my country. ...I may be venturing out with Baiken-san...if it is not too forward of me to extend an invitation...?

[omg omg omg!!! TECHNOLOGY!!!!]

...!! I-I would be most honored to see your nanocomputer! When would you be available?

[Voice] semper_cogitans April 15 2011, 16:51:21 UTC
I have been, actually; surprisingly so. The latest experiment was... somewhat awkward but not particularly problematic.

[Formal right back.]

I have never met Baiken before [- notice he didn't append the -san because he recognizes that it's an honorific now, but doesn't know which to use -] but I would not be adverse to this at all. Perhaps I could... bring someone myself? If he isn't too busy, perhaps I will ask my partner to come with us.

[Robert knows that Don speaks Japanese but he may not realize that the cultures intersect, yet...]

Oh, I'm not particularly invested in anything at the moment... Both yourself and Cameron have expressed interest in seeing my nanocomputer, and I was wondering if perhaps I ought to do some sort of lecture or similar demonstration on it...

I wonder if anybody else would be interested?

Of course. Hanami is meant to be done with friends and family. [Not that he knows what Robert is talking about specifically.]

....Many people here do seem interested in technology. Perhaps it would be a good idea to open your demonstration to the public so you needn't do it repeatedly?

They're still there, but they might not last till next week if it rains like it did this week...

liketofu April 15 2011, 07:32:25 UTC
But that's why we should all go out and see them before they're all gone! When are you thinking of going to see them, Japan-san?

4000excuses April 15 2011, 09:36:45 UTC
Ah-! .... [So forceful. ;;]

W-would Sunday be convenient for you...? Baiken-san seemed interested as well.

liketofu April 15 2011, 09:43:52 UTC
Sunday, hmm...

Sunday's fine! But will it just be the three of us? [Isn't that kinda lonely?]
