A strong breeze blows, causing delicate cherry blossom petals to flow in the wind and gracefully falls to the ground landing on the earthly tone bricks that make up the road that many people will be walking on. The stores' doors are open and the shop tents are up, the scents of baked goods and freshly brewed coffee.

Jason woke up stiffly stretching before getting out of bed and grabbing his normal black tank top, jean short, and his pink and black striped gloves and stocking that loosely fit him. He then walked out and headed to the Yearly Cherry Blossom Festival.

He strolled down the streets looking at jewellery shop tent gently picking up a silver necklace. He gently but it back down and nodded to the shop keeper and making his way around stopping and talking to the shopkeepers, laughing and making jokes. They shared stories and helpful tips on different topics relating to what the shopkeeper was selling. He kept his hands in his pockets has he walked around before stopping in one of the coffee shops and sitting down in one of the booths by the window overlooking the festival streets.

Twas yet another lovely spring morning at the Sunohara household. Birds were chirping in the nearby Sakura trees as a cool breeze sweet with a pleasant cherry scent wafted through the open kitchen window, carrying upon it a few stray pink petals that fluttered about and spiraled descending to the tile floor.

Mei hummed pleasantly to herself lounging rather provocatively in a comfy love seat in the living room, sipping her herbal tea and reading a rather steamy paperback romance novel, her cheeks blushing bright. Her company for the night, a stunning wolf woman, had left early before the sun rose, yet the snow leopard could still feel the pleasant chills of the beauty's hands caressing her lovely, curvaceous figure. She smirked just thinking of how last night had gone, a sultry giggle escaping her.

Her adorable sister Chizuru meanwhile was hanging upside down over the sofa playing Super Mario on her 3DS, nibbling on a stick of chocolate Pocky hanging precariously from her lips. She was so enthralled in her game she hadn't noticed once again her older sister lounging about...with nothing but a smile.

Softly Mei grinned. Her little sister looked so cute in her Zelda pajamas, like an innocent child. It pained the woman to think of how much she and Chizuru endured...such horrific abuse... She shook the ill imaginings from her thoughts, sipping the last of her tea and standing up, her long, fluffy tail swishing about friskily.

~"My turn~!"~ Teasingly Mei chimed hopping on the couch and taking Chizuru's 3DS from her.

"Aww sis!" Chizuru whined reaching in vain for her game as Mei held it up from her giggling. "Give it back! Please~!" She pouted, her pointy ears drooping.

Mei tittered. She loved teasing her little sister. ~"Aww but sweetie~! You've been on it all morning! Besides, don't you have to leave for work soon?" She asked playing with Chizuru's game.

Chizuru replied crossing her arms pouting still, her cheeks flushed, "It's the Festival. I'm off today, remember?" Of course Mei rembered and was just playing with her like always.

~"Ooh! That's right!"~ The snow leopard purred excitedly, her tail swishing back and forth even faster as she was beaming ear to ear. ~"That means we can go to the Festival together~! It will be so wonderful~! Me and my cute little sister having so much fun! Who knows, sweetie, you might find yourself a cute little boyfriend...or a girlfriend. Who knows?"~

"B-but Sis! I..." Chizuru frowned curling her shoulders up, her ears and tail drooping. "...I-I don't know if I want a b-boyfriend or girlfriend. What if...what if they're mean to me....like..."

She started to shake. Mei frowned and wrapped her sister in a hug. ~"Aww Chizu..."~ She cooed petting Chizuru softly. "Don't worry, my little sis. Mei won't let anyone hurt cute little Chizuru. They'll be leaving the Festival in an ambulance."~ It was only years ago. Mei had gotten over the ordeal a little, but for a sweet, naive soul like Chizuru...the pain was only yesterday. She slipped her arms away from Chizuru, placing her hands on the kitty's slim shoulders. ~"You have nothing to worry about, doll!"~ She smiled warmly. ~"Big sister is always going to protect you! Besides, a cute girl like you, who'd wanna hurt that beside some asshole? Everyone will love you at the Festival, honey! I'll fix your hair up all pretty and we'll get you a nice kimono and everything! Hehe~ those boys will be crawling on you in no time."~

Chizuru smiled softly. "Thanks sis...but umm... I just wanna wear my regular clothes, okay?"

~"Sure sweetie."~ Mei nodded happily.

"Oh and umm...Mei?"

~"Yes Chizuru?"~

".....Can you please put some clothes on now?!"

Vauldis stretched in his king sized bed as he awoke. Last night had been rough, a group of drunk kids had refused to leave the bar until he had security forcibly remove them at about 03:00am. No matter, children will be..annoying.

The wolf quickly dressed himself in his usual dark jeans and coat, with a red shirt; before making himself a cup of tea and checking his phone for the news , the first headline reminded Vauldis that the Cherry Blossom Festival was on the verge of commencing today.

After finishing his tea and breakfast (jam on toast, he never really had much of an appetite), Vauldis entered the elevator that would take him to the ground floor and the bar. As he entered the bar he noticed one of the bartenders still cleaning up the mess from last night. The wolf sighed before lighting a cigarette and turning his attention to the bartender "Jerry please, take this morning off, but I want you back by about 9PM alright? I'm sure the crowds of youths will begin swarming this place around that time. I'll tell your manager if I see him"  Vauldis spoke with a heavy English accent, but it was still hard to ignore the German influence also present in his voice. The bartender quickly nodded at the wolf before quickly departing, the spring in his step visible as he left the bar.

Soon after the worker's departure, Vauldis followed suit. Discarding his cigarette into a nearby ask tray , he walked towards the exit to the bar and opened the door. As soon as he opened it the atmosphere completely changed. He was hit by a strong scent of baked goods, the Christmas lights almost caused him to wince and the sheer amount of bustling citizens was truly a site to behold. Grinning, the rich bar owner departed into the streets, examining the fine jewelry and delicious looking foods on sale.

Chi sprung out of bed grabbung a change of clothes excited for the day ahead of her. "IT'S THE CHERRY BLOSSOM FESTIVAL TODAY!!" She yelled sticking her head sticking out of her bedroom window. She then runs to the bathroom almost tripping over her own two feet once or twice. She turns on the hit water and sits down on the cold ground with her arms cross and wait a few minutes waiting for the water to heat up. When it was ready she jumped into the shower. It was half an hour before Chi came out wearing a shirt with a cherry pattern print on it and some black overalls that had a mini skirt. She looked at herself in the mirror before going back onto her room and grabbing her phone. She turns it in and sends a text to her brother, Guess what day today is Big brother?"

Jason sips his coffee while looking out of the window of the cafè,and hears his phone go off. He sets down his cup of coffee and picks up his phone Happy Cherry Blossom Festival little sis. He texted back with a smile, I'm already at the Cafè, if you want to come down here.

Of course I will! And I made you a little present too!

Hehe, I'm excited to see you and that present of yours. How did you sleep? He looks at his phone while waiting for a reply and sips his coffee.

Great but I could have slept better. I fell asleep face down while watching UTube.

I slept okay I guess... You honestly need to work on how much Utube you watch.

Lol okay. I'll see you at the Cafè soon, Big bro.

@The1Rolling1Boy



A nice, catchy pop rock tune played quietly in the background over the cafe radio while plates clattered and people chattered. Odd for such a nice, quiet place to be bustling at this time of day, but it was the day of the Festival, and people were coming in from all over to view the city's lovely cherry blossoms and enjoy the week long festivities such as the games, food, dances, vendors and whatnot.

Mei strolled happily along the sidewalk, her hips swaying and her...endownments...bouncing up and down, barely held in by the tight scarlet blouse she had tied around them, topping that off with a cute black miniskirt that was mini in every meaning and her ruby red high heels. Meandering behind her was her little sister with her face buried in her 3DS, wearing her usual black Linkin Park hoodie and a pair of dark grey skinny jeans and her boots.

The two had spent the morning browsing the many quaint little shops and stands out in the streets, Mei enjoying all the exquisite jewelry on display while Chizuru paid no mind to it really. She was more interested on helping Link save Hyrule.

They strolled into the cafe and sat down at a booth, Mei's tail popping back and forth rather friskily. She always loved the Festival, mostly because the cherry blossoms were so beautiful this year...and there were so many cute boys and girls around.

Speaking of them, Mei just happened to notice a particularly handsome fox sitting in a booth all by his lonesome. She chirped to her sister, ~"Say Chizu-chan, isn't that the boy you have a crush on? Jason right?"~ She said with a coy smirk.

Immediately Chizuru noticed Jason, her cheeks already glowing warm as she hurriedly buried herself in her hoodie. Mei giggled purring as she glanced over her shoulder at the boy, ~"Oh my~! He's quite a hunk~! Rawr~!"~

Chizuru buried herself even deeper in her hoodie. For one, Mei was embarrassing her with her typical libidinous antics, and two...she was hoping Jason didn't see her nor remembered her from last year's festival.

Mei continued leering lustfully at the fox, practically leaning over her seat. ~"Mmmm~ he must work out alot. Say, doesn't he have a sister too, Chizu?"~

Oh great, not her too! Chizuru answered reluctantly, "Umm...y-yeah. Her name's Chi. She's really sweet and-"

~"Ooh~! That's right~!"~ Ah yes, now Mei remembered, that fine looking girl she nearly got her hands on...had it not been for her little sister meddling in. She was so close dammit! Oh well, she'd just have to try again getting that sexy girl into her arms...and her bed.

~"Hehe~! Such a sweet little girl~! I'm almost had her, if it wasn't for you Chizu! Always ruining the fun! How naughty~!"~ She pouted giving Chizuru puppy dog eyes.

Chizuru sighed shaking her head. It was a good thing she did spare Chi from her lustful older sister. Chi was way too innocent to get mixed up with Mei.

Late.

Late again.

Daniella had slept through her alarm clock that morning. She did not have work today due to the festival, but she tried to have a steady schedule and wake up the same time she usually did for work. However, because of the Cherry Blossom Festival- she had the week of. The entire week instead of just the day, because so much of the festival had to do with flowers- and who better to do it then the florist in town. Dani was her assistant, and was learning more and more every day.

It was Dani's first year here though, so she didn't really know what to expect. What would come of the festival, or of all the people attending? As she finally awoke, her petite body stretched out in her bed she felt a tinge of nervousness in her stomach. She didn't really like crowds, though she knew she should go to the festival and be involved. Emerging from the covers, Dani's body could be seen with a basic white cotton tee shirt on, her small tuft of a tail sticking out from the back lifting the shirt up slightly. Dani always dressed for comfort, though she did enjoy dressing up here and there occasionally.

Deciding it would not be one of those days, the young fawn went about her morning routine of getting ready and dressed herself in a pair of leggings and a loose fitting sweatshirt. She didn't like to dress too provocatively, not because she was against it- but just hand't found any clothes to display herself properly. A boost of confidence would also benefit her in the journey. Her brown hair sat in soft curls against her shoulders. She looked into the mirror as her wide brown eyes looked back at her.

She was ready.

Heading towards the festival area, Daniella was taken aback by just how many things and people were there. She found herself a bit shy in the scheme of things, but decided she would find something to eat first.

Ellie woke up early this morning, it was opening day of the festival and five thousand things needed to be done yesterday that were going to be done today. Due to the nature of the festival being a very family and community-based affair, with the more adult things coming out later such as the nightclubs and the bars after nine o'clock, they had lent the land to the Cub Scouts (Badum tsss) for their push cart championship, expecting the cubs to clear up after themselves. Instead, it looked like a bomb had gone off, papers were everywhere. There was a pile of discarded pushcarts with the wheels on or not, and when she looked upon it was just one thought. "We're never gonna get this done, are we?" sighing she grabbed a cart and wheeled it over to the stack of discarded cars and loaded them up. This was going to be what she would have to do for the next hour or so before the start of the festival, she just had to hope that the stalls could be set up as everyone else worked to clear up.

Chi wakes her way down to the Cafè and opens the door then goes to her brother. "Big Brother! Don't you just love my outfit? She asked has she does a little spin for him smile childishly.

Jason chuckles at his sister and nods his head. "You look very lovely Little sis. Would you like some tea? The Rose tea is very nice during this time of day.

Chi bends over the table the back of her skirt riding up her a little, "Are you going to buy me something besides tea? Like a new pair of those things. She points to his stockings and pouts.

Sure, if we find them. If I do buy them for I dare you to find someone. Jason grins looking back at Mie and Chizuru knowing they were there the whole time

Chi looks at her brother in shock and stomps one foot on the ground. "No way! Besides no one would like me..."

~"Oh my, my! We meet again, you cute little thing~!"~ <3

Unfortunately for Chi, that cute little outfit of hers had caught the langushing eyes of Mei when she skipped through the door, and oh did she just love it!

The snow leopard purred sensually with a hand on her hip, gazing up and down the cute fox girl's lovely figure. Still as beautiful as last time they met. ~"I bet you don't remember me, do you honey? You're even cuter than before!"~ She turned her attention to Chi's brother, a coy smirk as she giggled, ~"Oh hi there handsome~! Such a cutie, isn't she? I hope you don't mind me chatting with your little sister, sugar! If you want, you can talk to my adorable little sissy! The poor dear, she needs someone like you."~ She gave the boy a playful, pouty lip before sauntering behind him with a wry smirk, a little trace of her fingertips across his brawny shoulders as Mei hummed, ~"Mmmm yes, someone so strong and manly like you Jacey-boo~! Chizu-chan would just love you~!"~ Rather bold of her, Mei tittered nudging him towards Chizuru with a light smack on the bottom.

~"Hehe~ go on! You two have fun now! I'll just be here getting to know cyoot widdle Chi-Chi here!"~ <333

Meanwhile, Chizuru was trying not to pay any attention to her sister's perverted antics, but already it was clear she was extremely mortified. Her face was glowing red as she trembled in her seat, a firm glare affixed to Mei crawling all over Jason and Chi. Those poor...poor siblings...

Suddenly, she noticed Mei shove Jason over to her with a playful spank. She gasped, no sooner burying her face in her 3DS.

Jason chuckled and nodded his head, "I would love to talk to Chizu again. But I most warn you Mie... If you lay a hand on my sister and do anything that would cause her physical or mental pain I will personal bury you 6 feet under" Jason stared Mie straight in the eyes then gave Mie and his sister a soft friendly smile before walking over to Chizu happilyand gently putting his hands over her eyes, "Guess who cutie."

Chi smiles and waves her brother goodbye "See you later tonight Bih Bro!" She smiled and turned her attention back to Mie, "What do you want to do Mie-san?" She giggles cutely turning her body to Mie and crosses her arms behind her back. Her ears gently flick and her fluffy tail swats behind her cheerfully.

Nearby in an alleyway where the carts were, Ethan was shivering from how cold he was. His small ragged coat/blanket had multiple holes in it and a small layer of snow added more unnecessary weight to it. Close to starvation and freezing, he sees a lady pass by helping others move carts to set up for the nearby festival. Ethan limps over to the woman and taps her on the back as she turns away. His woman-like physique and tone of voice is going to shock her for sure...but Ethan was desperate. The festival was nice sure, but he doubt he can get any money from just attending it. He needed a job...as soon as he gets clothes and something to eat first of course.

"E~Excuse me...can I get a meal and some clothes...please? I'll do anything...please...just food and clothes. I had a hard time getting here and a harder time finding a job...I really need some help. It's hard for people like me to get a working job that doesn't involve certain...things. If you can get me one too, I'll forever be in your debt..."

Mei giggled nervously, blushing. Of course she didn't want to get on Jason's bad side, but there was no promises about that laying hands on cute little Chi. A friendly smile she gave the adorable fox, but her intentions were far from such, depending on who asked. She was already thinking of all the naughty fun she could have with this sweet, sweet girl.

Ah, but best to keep those thoughts for later. Right now, she felt like having a bit of...other fun with Chi, just to soften her up to some more risque ideas later. "Say Chi-Chi~ Why don't we go shopping together? You look like a fashionable young girl, plus Chizuru hates to go shopping. She'd much rather stay here with Jason I think." ♡ The leopard gave a rather toothy grin towards her sister, well...more towards the ambush that was about to take place.

Chizuru was too embroiled in helping Link defeat the fire dragon Volvagia when suddenly two paws covered her eyes. "UWAAAH~!" She jumped, nearly throwing her game halfway across the room. It wasn't that Jason scared her. It was just...well...obvious.

Her cheeks were burning red when she turned to face Jason with a timid smile, trying her best not to stutter her words. It happened anyway. "Umm uh...h-h-hi J-Jason...I umm...y-you look...really..g-great today." Great? He was hot! But Chizuru didn't wanna just blurt that out. She swore if that happened, she'd die of embarassment. She grinned sheepishly, shuffling her feet on the floor and biting her lip.

@cloudystarPushing the carts around was hard. It was backbreaking work but together they could do it. As Ellie pushed the cart past an alleyway, she heard a small woman's voice. Turning around she saw her, standing in the alleyway with tattered clothes. Poor loat, the poverty in the city was getting worse and wore. It was folding in on itself. She took a shirt from the cart she was pushing and threw it to the woman in the alley way. "'fraid I cant get you a job. You'll have to talk to the foreman" pointing to a large lion t hat was walking back and forth through the field. "Aside from that, you could help to push the cart for me."

As Vauldis was drifting through the many stalls that had already been set up for the festival, having bought nothing but admiring the craftsmanship and bakery skills on display; he noticed a rather depressing affair in his vicinity. A rather scrawny looking wolf was speaking to a women,seemingly begging for aid, the well-off wolf didn't usually care for the poverty often found in large cities like this but I suppose it's the reason for the season and all that.
Vauldis approached the pair and spoke rather bluntly holding about $100 worth of cash in his hands "Good morning, I couldn't help but over hear your rather difficult position so here's the deal. You help organize this wonderful little festival in this city, and this cash is yours. And maybe you'll pick up a more permanent job on the way,eh?" surprising himself with his rather sudden outburst of generosity, but still sticking to his words, he held the cash in his hands; offering it to the poor wolf.

@Rusalka
Chi smiles innocently and looked up at Mie, "Lead the way Mie-San!" She said excitedly with a small chuckle then moves out from in between the table and her with her hands still behind her back. Her hands holding onto her elbows has she waits for Mie to start walking so she could follow, "I was thinking of buying a new skirt or maybe a new dress... I was thinking of something slim fitting." Chi says in a calm town looking out of the Cafè door window at the little tent shops set ul then back to Mie, "What do you think Mie-san?"

Jason chuckles at the fact Chizuru jumped. He then leans over her shoulder and smiles, "Hey cutie, How have you been lately?" He then moves to the side of the table and rests hus elbows on it and perched his head on his hand and looks over at Chizuru, "Have you gotten anything yet? I have heard the tea is really good. Maybe I could get you something."

@Pyromaniacwolf@NPC@cloudystar
Lucy strolled though the city with quilts in paw. Her mother had made Lucy come and sell the quilts to get a feeling of selling because eventually, Lucy would need to be capable of it. She smiled brightly as she smelled delicious pastries coming from all around. Lucy's blue dress twirled as she hurried to a shop which was selling apple pie. She reached into her dress pocket and blinked, as she found no money. "I most have forgotten my money at home... Lucy's ears flopped down as she walked out of the store.

She walked past an aly which had people in it. She stopped walking, and looked to see a wolf seemingly asking for help. Lucy creeped over and asked with a curious voice," Is everything alright over her? " She tilted her head and cluched her quilts closer to her chest as she looked at the scene unfolding before her.

"...I'll do what I can lady...and I will sir, since I have no chance without working..."

Ethan replies rather quickly to the two people that replied...or answered first to his predicament. He gets up and wraps the coat around him more tightly, not noticing to the fact that they identified him as female straight off the bat due to how exhausted he was. Going over to the first female and tucking in the ragged coat around him, he somewhat gives a nod to the third newcomer. Ethan starts trying to push the cart as well...despite being practically thinner than Ellie and weaker too.

"I~I'll...be fine...just need to work...and live. Get...food once done."

@NPC@Pyromaniacwolf@SoulEater

@cloudystar @Pyromaniacwolf @NPC Lucy watched as the wolf wrapped himself to the best of his abilities with the withered old blanket. Lucy then looked down to her paws to see the quilts, then looked back to the poor wolf. "Umm, sir, I was wondering if you would like to help me sell these? I could give you half the money I make." Lucy smiled softly. She then turned to the bigger wolf who had offered money to him and Lucy cleared her through and tapped him on the shoulder. "Could you go help him get some clothes." Lucy asked. She hoped he would agree so the guy could look appropriate for the Festival. She then looked to the female wolf who had thrown the poor wolf a shirt, and had been pushing a huge heavy cart full of things. "Here why don't I do that for him. So, you heading to go sale this stuff here the tents?" Lucy layer out her quilts on the handel and winked at the poor wolf, then turned her attention back to the female who she was helping and added, By the way, my name's Lucy." her blue eyes twinkled.
