Trip to Helsinki - Part IV

On Monday I went to see a Japanese garden with my friend Piia, who was kind enough to carry my coat and doll bag while I took pictures. :)
The entry only cost a euro, so I recommend seeing it. Directions and more information can be found at their site. (They also sell a lot of different types of bonsai trees and other plants there!) [/ad]
The pictures could've been better, but I once again ran out of batteries and had to hurry to get as many shots as I could. ^^;


Japanese Garden
Shira: First view. It was very pretty there (and very warm and humid too).

Japanese Garden
Shira: I love how most of the trees were Roy's size.
Roy: I love how most of the trees were... hey! -_-

Japanese Garden
Shira: It's the time of year when the trees are in bloom, so you really should hurry to see it. :)

Japanese Garden
Shira: A deer scare.
Roy: This is getting boring. Where are all the pictures of me?
Shira: ^^;

Japanese Garden
Shira: Here's Roy in front of a tree in front of the tea room... no.. behind the tea room... well, in the vicinity of the tea room.
Roy: I'm standing in front of a tree. Yay.

Japanese Garden
Shira: Roy is being a cute little tree-hugger. :D
Roy: *displeased mumble*

Japanese Garden
Shira: You like trees, right?
Roy: Yeah sure. They're exotic... -_-;

Japanese Garden
Shira: You spent a good while sitting there, didn't you?
Roy: Yes, because you made me. Remember?

Japanese Garden
Roy: I also sat on a goddamn rock.
Shira: But it looked cute!
Roy: Yeah, whatever. -_-
Shira: Angsty teen.
Roy: Old maid.

Japanese Garden
Roy: Yay, look at me. I live in a bamboo forest!
Shira: Eh?

Japanese Garden
Shira: Let's cut back to the flowers. Very pretty flowers...
Roy: No! More pictures of me! ME!

Japanese Garden
Shira: OK, OK. What's with you today?
Roy: *beams happily* This is me with Koi! Get it? I'm with Koi! XD

Japanese Garden
Shira: Yes, koi. Very nice fish.
Roy: Don't forget me.

Japanese Garden
Shira: This is where you insisted we steal that tree and take it home.
Roy: But it was the perfect size!
Shira: I'll get you a bonsai one day, I promise. Just not right now when I'm low on cash. ^^;

Japanese Garden
Shira: That was a really nice bridge. And I'm glad the picture turned out OK, even if this is one of the last pictures before the camera died.
Roy: Yeah, nevermind my constant fear of being kicked into that damn pond and be eaten by those sharks.
Shira: Koi.
Roy: Where?

Japanese Garden
Shira: But you didn't fall, so all is well.
Roy: I'm scarred for life. Thanks a bunch. -_-

Japanese Garden
Shira: "OK, I've had it with this place. Let's go home."
Roy: Did I say that?
Shira: Yes. You were pretty adamant about it too. -_-
Roy: Well, it's to be expected after a life-threatening experience like this..!

Trip to Helsinki - Part III

This part contains over 60 photos. Just so you know, before you click the cut link. ^^



We had to search for a bit before we found a place to sit on Sunday, because we were a bit too early and most cafés were closed. But we found one eventually. We being Woodoo, Cissa and me, plus the dolls (Roy, Eliel, Adrian, Regulus and Kain). Kihis, Sig and Kinome joined us a little later. About 65% of these pictures were taken by woodoo (and possibly Cissa and Kihis) because my camera ran out of space and batteries. ^^;

Sunday.
Shira: Good morning sleepyhead!
Roy: Bugger off, will ya.

Sunday.
Roy: OK. I'm awake. Now what?
Shira: The presents of course, silly. ^___^()

Sunday.
Roy: Eeeh, oops. Where's this from...?
Shira: What?

Sunday.
Roy: Oh, nothing... *cough cough*

Sunday.
Roy: Here ya go, cute.. pin... headed... person.
Shira: That's Adrian. You've seen pictures of him.
Roy: I don't recall seeing anyone with red eyes. *shivers*
Eliel: Wait. Waaaaaait. Mine... that has to be for me...

Sunday.
Adri: Let's see... what's this now then?
Eli: Eeh, wait a second. That was for me, wasn't it?

Sunday.
Eli: Aah. I see. It's a puny poking stick. To poke people with.

Sunday.
Adri: They're kinda nice. Wonderful craftsmanship, though a little small.

Sunday.
Shira: Give them the other one too.
Roy: Do I have to?

Sunday.
Adri: Yarrrrr, hand over the booty!
Roy: Eh!

**A little later**

Sunday.
Adri: These are nice. Did you make them yourself?
Roy: Eeeh, sure. *cough*
Shira: O_o;;
Eli: Why is there a ball on top of the e? Eliél? o_o

Sunday.
Adri: You're OK.
Roy: *^^*
Eli: Eww, here we go again. Stop being gross.

Sunday.
Shira: Uhh, Adri and Roy seem to be getting along much better than I anticipated... o.o;
Eli: I'm not going to stick around for this. Weirdos.

Sunday.
Shira: ???
Eli: Hahaa! With this ingenous disguise I will march into the wannabe-queen's wannabe-kingdom and finally take over! Mwahah!

Sunday.
Shira: ?????? O_O;
Eben: ...and they won't be expecting a thing...

Sunday.
Roy: Bwwaaah! *startle*

Sunday.
Roy: When did you get here?
Sig: A little while ago.
Roy: You're big.
Sig: We met yesterday, remember?
Roy: I must've blocked that out. Trauma.

Sunday.
Roy: Eeeh, I'd love to chat more, but I... errr... promised I would... eh... talk to... someone else.
Sig: That's OK.

Sunday.
Roy: Hey, pirate-boy. Is that a new wig?
Adri: Yes?

Sunday.
Roy: It's... very nice. *^^*
Shira: OMGZWTFBBQ?!

Sunday.
Adri: You're just saying that to be polite.
Roy: No, no. It really suits you. <3

Sunday.
Roy: Teeheehee... *^^*
Adri: Tee.. *cough* heehee... >.>

Sunday.
Eli: *various sounds of disgust*
Shira: Where is that hand going by the way...? o_O

Sunday.
Eben: *some more sounds of disgust*

*OMINOUS BACKGROUND MUSIC*

Enter Sig...

Sunday.
Sig: There. I would sit tight in that boot and keep quiet if I were you.
Eben: O_O
Shira: Oh dear... It just got a bit tense in here. -_-

Sunday.
Mort: Fear not! Mort is here to save the day! *steals Sig's body with his awesome body stealing skills*

Sunday.
Eben: Get me out of here, big man!

Sunday.
Mort: Hi, little fellow. Aren't you a tiny little bit of resin.

Sunday.
Shira: Awww, so cute. ^^

Sunday.
Shira: And Mort is looking really handsome today.

Sunday.
Shira: I hope you get your own body soon.
Mort: So do I.

Meanwhile in touchy-feely la la -land:

Sunday.
Shira: And where's that hand going...?
Adri & Roy: *not listening*

Sunday.
Roy: I really really like the red eyes...

Sunday.
Adri: *whispers* Are you OK?

Sunday.

Sunday.
Shira: !!!!!!! O_O *chokes on her yogurt cashews*

Sunday.
Adri: Are those ears real? Can I touch them?
Roy: Huh?
Adri: Come on. Please?

Sunday.
Adri: Pretty please?
Roy: Uhmmm, *is putty* well, all right...

Sunday.

Sunday.
Adri: Soft...
*Shira & woodoo nosebleed all over the café*

Sunday.
Shira: *still bleeding*

Sunday.
!!!!!!!

Sunday.
Kinome: Boys. You're causing a commotion.
Roy & Adri: *ignore*

Sunday.
Kinome: It's this body, isn't it? It's nice to have one, but... this one just isn't... pretty enough to attract attention. -_-

Sunday.
Roy: Uhh... that wig looks really good on you. I mean really really good on you. ;_;
Adri: Does it? I rather liked the other one better.

Sunday.

Sunday.
Roy: I feel a bit dizzy. *wobble*
Adri: Whoa, don't fall down...!

Sunday.
Roy: I think I blacked out for a moment there. ;_;
Adri: Feeling any better now?

Sunday.
Roy: Yeah, a little bit. Can you massage that for me...?

Sunday.
Roy: Uuuh... how did this happen? *suspects Eli, but has no proof*

Sunday.
Roy: Did I do something...? :o

Sunday.
Roy: Agh, my back...
Adri: What on earth are you doing?
Shira: (Yes, everyone else is wondering that too... XD)
Roy: I have bad blood circulation, I need to stretch a lot! T_T

Sunday.
Adri: Fluffy-ears.
Roy: Eh?

Sunday.
Adri: I feel sleepy. It's been a long day. Mind if I...?
Roy: Oh, I don't mind. >.>

Sunday.
Eli: Look at this. Do I even need to say anything...? -_-

Sunday.
Shira: And since Adri was sleepy (and not paying as much attention), there was some experimenting... >.>

Sunday.
Shira: Roy and Eliel pose for comparison.

Sunday.
Shira: And some more posing. \o/

Sunday.
Shira: Adri and Eli trying the hat that Kihaku made for Roy. :3

Sunday.

Sunday.
Shira: And here's some more of the weird cuteness that went on. :D

Sunday.
Shira: And then there was the obligatory group shot of everyone.
Roy: Adri is wearing that wig again. I think I'm going to faint. -_-

...

Roy: *faints*
