The party kicked off (pun intended) with a fun game of football. One team representing 西対, the WEST team (captained by Ryoma san) and the other representing 東対, the EAST team (captained by Aqua san). The match was referreed fairly *cough* by myself. Both teams got off to a good start with the EAST team scoring quickly in the first few minutes. Half time saw some squabbling over posession of the ball ~ quickly nipped in the bud by the ref! Midway into the second half the WEST team put on a sudden spurt and, taking the EAST team by surprise, pocketed the ball neatly in the corner of EAST's goal. Final whistle saw the score at EAST 1 - 1 WEST. Another perfect game!!
After the football, some snacks and a few beers, followed quickly by the treasure hunt. Avatars scattered across Tatsumi no machi and one person actually came close to the treasure's hiding place. They moved off again, leaving Ryoma san to discover the treasure, and win the prize.
Dancing and fireworks followed the hunt, then the survivors fell onto the blanket beneath the large cherry tree and chatted. All in all ~ a very enjoyable day. Our thanks to those who attended and threw themselves wholeheartedly into the fun and games.
