~26 [ video post ]

[ the video turns on with Japan surprisingly outside the mansion. he seems to be having difficulty walking a bit while carrying the long piece of bamboo which is definitely taller than him ]

I am glad the vendor's had these..

[ he stops in front of the entrance to the Mansion and sticks the bamboo next to the door. After making sure it stays upright, he notices the camera on and turns towards it ]

Ah, I realize we are right in the middle of a...uncomfortable event, but I did want to celebrate this. Today is Tanabata, the day when Orihime and Hikoboshi are allowed to cross the Milky Way and meet each other. In my country, we celebrate this day by writing our wishes on a piece of paper and hanging them on this bamboo. If anyone would like to join in on this celebration, please do. I will leave the papers next to the bamboo.

[ he sets down a stack of vertically long paper next to the bamboo, and bows to the camera before switching it off ]

Tanabata... I had completely forgotten.

I'm assuming you're Japanese, correct?

[alwaysrec.livejournal.com]

Yes, I am.

I take it that you are as well?

Yes. Before here, I was residing in Inaba while assisting the police in some murder cases.

My name's detective Naoto Shirogane. And you are?

*Guess who's out and about because he has cabin fever from being in the clinic for a week? Don't tell Dr. Tam. Really he just wanted a cigarette.*

So you just write a wish, stick it on the tree and it comes true?

[alwaysrec.livejournal.com]

Well...it does not always come true..

[rookie-deadman.livejournal.com]

Ah... Thank you, Japan-san.

[alwaysrec.livejournal.com]

You do not have to thank me, I only brought the bamboo.

[so-please-die.livejournal.com]

How lovely, I'll have to remember to stop by and do that today.

[alwaysrec.livejournal.com]

Please do. I would like it if everyone partook in this festivity.

[calculatedfire.livejournal.com]

Oh, I forgot about that.

Does anyone not wish to leave?

[alwaysrec.livejournal.com]

I had almost forgotten as well.

Ah..I suppose they may put that. It is not a crime to wish, after all.

[idkmybfftony.livejournal.com]

Cool! You have so many fun festivals! I wanna turn!

[alwaysrec.livejournal.com]

Thank you, America-san.

[ Pikachu is curious; it sounds like fun, doing that sort of thing. He wants to try. ]

Pikapika? Pichu, pika pi.

Hello Pikachu-san. You are definitely welcome to write a wish as well.

That?

Thank you, Iceland-san. I am glad people other than Japanese are finding interest in it.

[blamethenargles.livejournal.com]

Ah, Tanabata? That sounds rather interesting.

[alwaysrec.livejournal.com]

Please feel free to put up a wish, miss.

[alterdreveries.livejournal.com]

Tanabata?

[Kanami isn't really informed on these things. She'll just look at you in confusement as she's curious to find out what it's about.]

[alwaysrec.livejournal.com]

It is a festival celebrated in Japan in July. I thought it would be nice to celebrate it here as well, and spread it to other people.

[callmedaddio.livejournal.com]

... I almost forgot about Tanabata. I guess I've lost all sense of reality as it was back home...

It is hard to keep track of time without checking the calendar daily here.
