Who: Yuya, people invited to his birthday
When: March 1
Where: Dresden, Germany
What: Yuya goes on a birthday excursion for with everyone he invited and who also talked their way into an invitation
Warnings: None probably?? Play nice

Yuya spends the few days leading up to the first of March in a barely contained excitement as he plots out how to best use the school's helicopter transport, deliver word of mouth invites, and set a time to celebrate his 15th. Ultimately it's decided that because the trip is a few hours to make it a day event, with the helicopters taking off early and returning late into the night. Sticking with the group is probably advisable, although with so much time it's expected some people will wander. Yuya just wants a day to spend with his friends, instead of doing anything intricate.

The early hours are largely spent touring and window shopping, taking long walks through the markets, sampling food, or appreciating the rich art history on display. There's a lot of museums, parks, and it's the bright clear day. Chilly, though, so hopefully everyone brought jackets.

In the afternoon, they can hitch a ride on one of the paddle streamers along the river Elbe. It's a few hours of tour that takes them by the castles. The tickets aren't too expensive, but if someone can't afford it Yuya will spend some of his own money to spot them the ticket.

After the sun starts to wane and the temperature drop, it's off to warmer places. For those with the cash to spend, there's an opera house they might be able to catch a show at. Otherwise, the plan is to crowd up in some bakery-style restaurant for dinner and cake.

((This is a mingle style log, so feel free to make toplevels and tag each other. It's mostly a loosely planned free for all trip.))

I feel relaxed when I'm around you, so it must be true.

Oh. Uh.

[Does it seem like it's getting warm all of a sudden?]

Thank you.

[ It's hard to say if she realizes that she's flustered him or not, as she brings him closer to the edge of the enclosure. ]

Hmm, I guess big cats aren't that different from house cats. I wonder if we can get him to come over.

[ And what will you do if he does, Minako? There's a giant pane of glass in the way... ]

Hard to say. I don't think cats are good at doing what you want them to.

[And as the tiger is now gently snoring, that definitely seems to be true today]

[ That just gives more credence to her assessment, as Minako smiles apologetically at Ren. ]

At least he looks comfortable? I hope you're not too disappointed.

[ He's out cold, what a shame. ]

It's fine, this was expected. Where to next?

Hmm...

[ She tilts her head, thinking for a moment. ]

I wonder if they have a petting zoo.

Bet they do, wanna go find it?

[ Leading them down the path towards the petting zoo, the area is filled with various animals; each type kept in its own area. At the center is what appears to be a pond willed with koi, and a large tortoise lounging on a rock. ]

I don't think turtles are the first thing I would have expected here.

Really? You never wanted to pet a dinosaur growing up?

[ Tortoises are basically dinosaurs, and deserve love too. Look at that face. ]

Well, I mean, if you're gonna put it that way...

[He'll head over and pet the tortoise, which seems thrilled with the attention, much to his surprise]

[ And that's just the opportunity that Minako has been looking for. It's ridiculous how quickly she whips out her phone, a cheerful grin on her face. ]

Say cheese~

[ What better way to commemorate the trip than with a weird photo. ]

Cheese!

[Ren gives a pretty good smile for this one, he's pretty photogenic]

[ The fact that he's willing to play along doesn't go unnoticed. Minako trots over, showing him the picture on her phone. ]

You two look good together!

He's a good tortoise.

[As is often the case it is impossible to tell if he's joking here]
