tanabata!

[fuckyou_chorus]

[as soon as evening hits in camp, several bamboo trees sprout up near the center of camp, along with a banner announcing:

Here's your tanabata festival!
make a wish

placed below the banner is a table with small pieces of paper on it with writing utensils, and directions, for those unfamiliar with the festival]

(( your annual tanabata post.

You were hoping it'd happen?

[gameoverorbust]

Yeah, obviously! It's one of Japan's greatest festivals! Ah, Obon should be coming up too, come to think of it.

[servicewitha]

That's the one to remember the dead, right?

[gameoverorbust]

... yeah. I bet a lot of people would appreciate it too.

[servicewitha]

[nods]

Are you going to do something for it?

[gameoverorbust]

Do something...?

[it's like the thought didn't even occur to him]

[servicewitha]

You could set something up, or get people involved.

[gameoverorbust]

I'm not really the type of guy that organizes complicated events...

[servicewitha]

[shrugs]

Then don't.

[gameoverorbust]

Sorry to disappoint.

[buuut he looks thoughtful]

[servicewitha]

I'll survive somehow.

[gameoverorbust]

[shrugs]

You have tanabata, at least! You gonna make a wish?

[servicewitha]

No.

[gameoverorbust]

Really!? Aah, I guess first impressions are wrong, you seemed the type who'd get into the spirit of things!

[servicewitha]

[chuckles]

I like festivals, don't get me wrong. But I'm not interested in making wishes when I can do what needs to be done myself.

[gameoverorbust]

It's not really about not doing what needs to be done, you know...
