[Hinamori's sitting in Siren's Flowers, wearing a purple woven yukata with her hair done up nicely and decorated with flowers. She looks likes she ready to go out for a day of festivities—and that's because she is!]

Good morning, everyone!

I've been informed that today is celebrated various places in the world as May Day, which is a celebration of the coming of spring. There are a lot of different traditions surrounding it, one of which is the secret giving of flower baskets to friends and neighbors. Another is dressing up and dancing around a Maypole, which is a tall pole decorated with flowers and often ribbons.

In honor of that, Siren's Flowers is sponsoring a May Day festival today by Winthers Lake. There will be free food and drinks, traditional dances—and don't worry if you don't know how, there'll be lessons every hour—and we're also giving out free May baskets for you to take home and leave on your neighbors' doorsteps!

There will also be flowers and gifts for sale—the shop will be closed today since everyone will be at the lake. We'll be celebrating all day, finishing up with a big bonfire this evening. You're all invited, so come out and join us!

[ooc: may day open log is here! come and mingle! there's free food~]

I missed the sakura this year . . .

Maybe if I can convince Kaito to go.

You definitely should! It's important to appreciate the seasons while they're here!

Tell him, if he won't, that he'll have to deal with me! [She doesn't even know who Kaito is, but Aoko's her friend, so she takes priority.]

[On the other side of the screen, Aoko giggles.]

Probably if I tell him about the food, he'd come. But I don't know if I could get him to dance.

Awww, that's the best part. Although—[she whispers conspiratorially]—with the circle dances, as long as you keep ahold of his hand, he'll pretty much end up getting pushed into it anyway.

Merry, merry and how refreshing that is! Maybe this place isn't as crabby as I thought. Why just the thought of ol' May Day takes me back to when I was a wee little sprite, hohohohoheehee!

I'll have to bring my accordion for the Morris dance!

[For the organ-players on the go.]

Oh? Did you used to celebrate it when you were a kid?

Sorry. I'd bring Namine and everything...

But flowers are all just bad memories, for us.

I'm sorry—I didn't mean to bring up bad memories for anyone. That's... too bad, to have that association, with flowers. [Flowers are pretty. :(] Can I ask what happened?

A bad guy made her his prisoner, inside a castle...

Roses were kind of his thing.

Oh—oh no... [Hinamori pauses in empathy.] Did she make it out alright?

Yeah. I protected her. And Sora defeated him.

Ah, I'm so glad. But it's horrible that you had to go through something like that...

Yeah, well....

Life's tough.

So you run Siren's Flowers now, huh? I remember when Minako used to. And Aerith, Tifa's friend...

Oh no! I'm just the junior manager, right now. [The 'right now' might betray a subconscious realization that she's been taking on more and more of the workload since she joined the shop.]

I haven't met anyone who really knew the previous owners. Were they nice?

Really nice. It seems like only really sweet girls get the manager jobs there- ever since it opened.

[Hinamori giggles at that.] That's kind of you to say.

So who's Namine? I-if you don't mind me asking. A friend of yours, I take it...

It's a pity we don't have a spring like Japan.

Ah, I know. I miss the weather at home more than I realized.

Me too. I don't like this climate at all.

At least it's finally getting warmer. I like the rain and all, but we need a little sunshine once in a while!

[~~Ironic, since it will be thunderstorming later.~~]

Seems that way. I can't believe that it was so cold when I arrived. It's been so long...

How long have you been here?

Since November.

[Hinamori takes the time to do the math in her head. She gets confused once, because it was August when she was Pulled here, then all of a sudden March, but that makes...] Six months. Almost half a year. Has... much changed in that time? Other than the weather.

Ah... changed?

[She thinks about all the changes that came to her before arriving to this place.]

No, not here.
