The bamboo leaves rustle,
shaking away in the eaves.
The stars twinkle;
Gold and silver grains of sand.

It's the seventh day of the seventh month… Tanabata!

In various locations throughout the school and outside, bamboo branches have been set up! If your character cares to investigate, they will find that there are pens and colorful sheets of paper nearby with string attached to them. There is a short explanation posted nearby to explain, and encouragement to share their own wishes.

Wishes can be simple, serious, just for fun, whatever! "I wish I had a pony." "I wish I had a girlfriend." "I hope Billy makes it out of the hospital okay." Characters are not required to sign their names, but there is a chance that someone could see them hanging something up...

You can leave their wishes on this post! Feel free to make action threads if you so desire! Just make sure to mark it as such if you're into that kind of thing.

Dream on, SBG.

[SORRY I'M TERRIBLE

Vinnie probably noticed the wish, but... well, he's not really that green, mostly just warty blue and pink, so it totally slips his mind that this could be about him.

Maybe it was for Bulba. Poor girl, whoever she was. Probably didn't know he didn't swing that way.]

[rivalsweetscent]

[I'm also pretty bad.

He didn't really mean to look through any of the wishes but some were more eye grabbing than others as he hung his up.

Kind of like that one.

Oh, huh. Green... dumbass... OH... NO... Who else was green oh no, basically no one what.]

[Vinnie wasn't normally one to be hung up on just wishing things to be better, but after seeing all that decorated bamboo around the school, well... it wouldn't hurt to be festive for Tanabata.

His writing was messy, but bold. His paper was pink.]

I wish I was stronger for everyone

[I'm terrible too

Slippy was looking for a place to hang his own wish when one caught his eye in particular.

"Green"...huh, he happened to be green. "Dumbass would notice..."
No No NOOOOOO! This had to be about somebody else. He did not want to be the object of anyone's affection.]

[hasthemunchies.livejournal.com]

Oh.. I'm sorry. [Feeling a bit rushed, Ilyana quickly just jots down the first thing that comes to mind; that'd be 'steak'. She ties it around a branch and moves so the next person can go.]

Um, do you know how this is supposed to work..?

[pinkgingham.livejournal.com]

[Oh, how nice! Sable remembered this from last year. She felt compelled to write down a wish of her own, so she did.]

I wish the family shop has plenty of business for years to come.

[electriccharge.livejournal.com]

[It wasn't hard at all for Watt to come up with a wish for this time around, that's for sure.]

I wish that what happened a few months ago will never ever EVER happen again.

[temptedthesnake]

[Late at night that night, someone came to inspect some of the wishes. Big green dumbasses, something in Cryllic that she had to stop herself from tearing off the little tree, and a lot of wishes for peace and happiness. She laughed quietly to herself, then wrote her own note.]

I wish that you would drop dead already.

[Instead of hanging it up, though, she crumpled it up and left it with the other blank pieces of paper. No need to spoil everyone's positivity...]

[ihateplumbers.livejournal.com]

Was this one from Peach? From his beloved?

Oh, yes, yes, yes, I'll notice you more, you beautiful creature, you.

Also that sort of language isn't very princessly. You have a wild side that I never knew about before.

[pink-shroom.livejournal.com]

[fml]

[green-thundah.livejournal.com]

[After a while of thinking, Luigi hesitantly writes down his wish.]

I wish I was as heroic as my bro...

[distortionnoise.livejournal.com]

[Giratina feels foolish for having his desires out in the open, but he just as soon convinces himself that nobody would be able to recognize his handwriting, anyway.]

I wish I could take back some of the choices I've made.

[ordonaryguy.livejournal.com]

I hope Hyrule continues to be protected for all of time.

[hasthemunchies.livejournal.com]

[Wait. Did he really just snatch hers down? She wasn't sure how this was really supposed to work, but she knew that he definitely wasn't supposed to do that..]

Um, sir.. why did you take mine down..?

[hasthemunchies.livejournal.com]

Oh.. why did you throw those other ones away, then?

[She was glad hers was still on there though, at least.]

"No, everyone's wishes are allowed on that tree. If you want your wish to come true, you have to believe that it will. If you sabotage anybody else's chances, then as I said..."

Riley lowered the brim of his hat over his eyes with a flourish.

"Karma will get you. Maybe you don't actually believe that you're worthy of a wish if you feel so threatened."

[pitticus.livejournal.com]

Pit's biggest wish never fades, no matter how much time scrolls by. That's why the tag he leaves on the tree says:

If the ones I love are ever in despair, let Fate bring me to them in their times of need.

Anshu saw the tree full of wishes. It read a few. It glided over to the papers, and a pen was lifted into thin air and held above a light blue sheet of paper.

It thought hard. There wasn't anything it truly wished for, but there were the words of others in its head. They would probably write them down. Anshu dropped the pencil and continued to just look at the wishes.

[trick_room]

Milimili wondered what other people wouldn't want to wish for. Using her talent of imitating writing styles she's never seen before (or, rather, just making them up and using them), she wrote a few.

▹ "I wish Lash was in love with me the way I was with her..." She'd hang that one up.

▹ "I wish he would just get off my back. I'm not in love with you anymore." She'd hang that one up, too.

▹ "Please text me! [Here, she inserted this number.] Looking for a boyfriend. ♡"

▹ "I wish I could see him naked. He should model for art class."

▹ "I wish someone would talk dirty to me... [Milimili added a phone number.] Call me! ☺"

Oh, she'd do more. For now, though, she popped back into being a Banette and disappeared into thin air.

[ACTION]

[stay-classy-cat.livejournal.com]

[Seth wouldn't recognize the handwriting, but he can recognize nearly everyone gathering to the cute little tree. Except this guy. After Giratina walks off and out of eye shot, Seth tends to his message and carefully removes it.]

Excuse me...!

[Why troll the messages when you can troll the person instead? He's waving the paper in his hand.]

Did you drop this?

Re: [ACTION]

[distortionnoise.livejournal.com]

[Giratina turns around to glare at Seth, when he notices what he's holding. ...Shit.]

Well, in case you're too much of an idiot to notice, I put that there. So, put it back.

[trick_room]

...Some time later, Milimili reappeared at a different location and at a different tree. She strolled up to it casually and hung up some pre-written notes, all on various colors of paper.

▹ "I'm hoping to talk to someone new. My last boyfriend was a so boring. Text me! [She added this number.]"

▹ "Hot, horny, and always in the mood. Give me a call. [Phone number there.]"

▹ "I'm so in love with the janitor, but I'm afraid my friends will laugh at me for being gay. I wish he felt the same way."

▹ "I wish it wasn't wrong to want to fuck Apple Kid! I just think he's really hot! I'm really glad I got that off my chest."

▹ "I wish I were an Ursaring so I could marry Nancy."

Time to go to a new tree, she felt.

[stay-classy-cat.livejournal.com]

Oh? You mean there? [He looks behind him at the tree.]

Oh! Oh, really, what difference does it make now if it's here or there?

I have to admit, I'm rather curious now about it, if you don't mind me being nosy~

[whitedeviljack.livejournal.com]

[What. Whaaaaaaat. Raiden instantly wants to blame Raikov but realizes Sense This Does Not Make.

Aaaaaauuuuuugggghhhh!]

[hasthemunchies.livejournal.com]

U-Um, okay..

[She's just gonna.. shrink away a bit, and watch curiously from afar.]

It seems rather rude to do that, though..
