At this time in my home, many would be celebrating a star festival... Tanabata.

One would write their wish on a small piece of paper and hang it on bamboo. The specifics aside from that vary, but I suppose I am wondering... What sort of wish would everyone make?

-Japan

[On second thoughts, her country ought to know about an invading force. Mikuru forgets the rest of the BBS can read this too.]

Evil alien witches trying to invade the planet!

I know it sounds unbelievable, but it's all true, Japan-sama! [Well, at least disbelief is better than endless laughter...]
bunnypassingby: (please come to your senses!)

[Mikuru sits typing at her terminal for a while trying to explain that seeing as the aliens came in a time many years before her own yet there was no word of the aliens in her history classes, things might have worked out fine, but she just ends up both confusing herself and starting to doubt it.]

Do you think if we both write it down, the wish will be stronger? [Alas, by her time they're not as strong on traditions...]

Okay, I'll do it too!

[Mikuru reconsiders before pressing send. Learning about Japanese traditions from Japan himself... This could be a rare opportunity.]

Actually... If you're going to hang these wishes on bamboo, could I please help you write them all? I've never really celebrated Tanabata before.

Thank you! Will you be doing anything else for Tanabata?

[History teachers of back home, eat your heart out. LEARNING FROM THE MASTER.]

That's a shame. :( What kind of thing would you do at home?

That sounds lovely! [She can only imagine...] What are the decorations like? And the competitions?
bunnypassingby: (did you wait long?)

[personal profile] bunnypassingby 2011-07-08 05:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Unfortunately not... We don't have many festivals any more when I'm from.

[Poor, poor Japan.]

But I always liked learning about them in class... I'd love to see one for myself!

I know our society's come a long way, but I think it's a shame how much we've lost along the way.

Thank you, Japan-sama!
