Out with the old....

[sundead]

Who: Everyone
What: New Year's.
When: Dec. 31st, New Year's Eve, to Jan 1st, New Year's Day.
Where: Everywhere
Summary: It's New Year's, and the people of Luceti have a lot to reflect upon, and to look forward to. And on a more meta level, new journal names.
Rating: We'll see...

New Year's brings images of crowds, and songs, and fireworks; staying up til midnight and watching balls or bells being rung. But Luceti is a different time and place. Whether you're partying with friends or watching the sunrise, what are you doing today?

[he's gonna try, okay? he'll repeat the awkward rubbing!]

Still, distracting you like that was definitely my fault... [He muses for a second, and:]

That's really nice, Miss! If it's something like that... would you mind if I lended a hand?

[penetrated]

[Yeah, he's gonna make her more active!]

I think they are! So, why don't we try having fun with everyone?

[ever_deceptive]

My. [Geez, four years is a long time.] You must get homesick.

[catches]

[no super moe

sigh.] That 'thing' was Swampert. I'm guessing you've never heard of Pokémon either?

[immamartillo]

Yeah. It's kinda weird to think that I've only been here a few months. It feels like it's been a lot longer.

[ He sighs and glances around at the festivities. ]

This whole thing kinda reminds me of home.

[uccellodifuoco]

[Don't mind Ikki looming over you, Selphie. Just continue to happily stagger around drinking your drink. At least until he looms in front of you to stop your wandering, that is.

He says nothing, though. Just glares at her with crossed arms. Remind him why you can do this and he can't without being handcuffed.]

[crisisrain]

Funny ya say that! [He lets out a laugh.] I've been back home twice already! Don't remember anything before the first time, but I remember pretty much everything before the second. Can't say I get particularly homesick ta be honest, I'm quite happy here.

oh my god my mind went to places at 'awkward rubbing' and I blame it all on you

[happyends]

Eh..? N-no, not at all, it's great to see other people want to help out too.. [ blink blink. ]

Maybe we could go around to ask people together..?

[etudes]

Um.. Rin-kun and I are friends.

[ or at least, that's what kotomi decided and all - so it's her explanation to the girl with a slight nod. ]

[etudes]

Having fun with everyone..? [ she tilts her head a little to the side at that, thinking. ]

How would we do that?

[repudiate]

[ no okay I'm starting to see it now ]

No, I haven't. What are they, some sort of animals from another world? I've never seen anything like that before except in those lame Godzilla kind of movies.

[lookinforlight]

[Hnngh, Ace, you suck. Norma stomps her foot into the snow, pouting defiantly, and then points a finger up at him. The tip was glowing faintly, a red-orange color, but fades away like a dead ember.]

You, shut it, or I'll fancy my foot up yours! And get down here so I can hurt you!

[Huffpuff. And another stomp of her foot, before Norma storms over to the edge of the house and reaches up with her arms, far too short to reach the edge of the roof like she wanted. Either get down or help her up, you bloody pirate. She can't do much in heels and a gown.]

Because we clearly need moar threads, all the threads!

[folklorist]

[ Pilouette might get so see some pretty fancy fireworks as Helios casts a myraid of light magic into the air. The orbs of light will flick and flutter about through the air, sometimes swirling around people only to then jet up into the black starry sky and explode soundlessly into dazzling little rays of light.

Helios can be found either preforming or getting something to eat and drink. Magic casting is ever so hard and tiring sometimes! You need to keep up your strength after all. ]

[folklorist]

[ So I head you liek birds. Have one light phoenix, swooping through the air soundlessly, as it leaves trails of glowing embers in its wake. It'll turn up into the sky and burst into a million different colored lights, each one raining silently down upon the village below.

This is how Helios does fireworks don't mind him! You can probably run into him as he finishes off another display and is going to get some refreshments. Yep might want to watch were you're going, Helios has a track record of running into people. But Noctowl is there so it shouldn't be a problem, right? ]

[hasnobeats]

[O-oh crap, she's not moving... Um... What should he do?! Otonashi's just about ready to start panicking and go doctor-modo on her until he hears her speak up. Okay. Cool. She's alive. This is good. Yes.]

Erm... Do you need help getting up?

[repudiate]

If your cocoa would be as cold as ice cream, I would have to wonder what kind of stuff you'd do with it while preparing it, Keiichi.

[ see, she's tackling that one first because she can at least deadpan her way out of it, the other part is.. a little more complicated, especially since she's definitely catching on to what he's saying there. ]

Ah.. well.. I already said back home that I wanted to recreate the Ushiromiya family, so.. [ she's trying to put on her usual facade, but it's difficult - she's somewhat grateful that Keiichi is looking away considering she's blushing fiercely. ] Even if it'd be with a different last name, that'd still-- well, be fine.

[rashness]

[Rin blinks, amazed. Wait.

What.

They're... friends? Really? Since when?]

[geniustheveil]

Of course not. [Though now she's very embarrassed that splitting the distance between her formality and Usagi's enthusiasm has seemed rude.] Maebara Keiichi-san.

[And that just might be Ami's cheeks flushing.]

[ctrlaltdemons]

[Sitting on roofs is completely normal, but she's so close to the edge that it makes Atsuro incredibly uncomfortable and hnnng what if she falls... Oh. wait. She did say she jumped off a skyscraper before. ...DAMMIT ANGE.]

Well, for starters, why are you up there? And so close to the edge, too...

[ctrlaltdemons]

Oh really? They've had fireworks before too? Huh.. [Somehow he just really wasn't even expecting to see any at all, so..]

[folklorist]

It's quite a nice time to be back I admit. I missed it when I first arrive just shy of a few days, actually. New year's eve. Out with the old, in with the new as they always say. Never a better place or time than now for it.

[ Helios looks over at the jar of fire. Having cold skin like his makes you immune to these sorts of things and in fact he doesn't look the least bit cold, to be honest. He'll hold up a hand and shake his head. ] Oh, no, I'm quite alright! Thank you for the offer. [ A tilt of his head as he regards it more closely. ] Self sustaining fire...filial magic or a spell from your world?

[ A new year and yet some things never change. ]

this is a way overdue meeting... I am so sorry fhask

[moehealer]

[Yellow, who is wandering around the village to wish her friends and acquaintances a happy new year, doesn't notice Falkner at first. Of course she doesn't even know him, so she wouldn't, anyway... But she looks over in his direction when Chuchu points in his direction, clearly because of the bird perched on his shoulder. ...A Noctowl? There's another trainer here?

So she's mainly just... kind of staring at him right now... trying to figure out whether or not she knows him.]

[makeitquick]

[And one slayer is walking down the street, observing what everyone else is doing and then... this. It smells interesting, and not quite like other things she's encountered here before. she blinks, and then looks to the woman sitting there]

What're you drinking?

[makeitquick]

[What- oh. that's.. the pegasus? Or whatever it was, extremely fast flying horse thing. Whatever a horse is. Anyway, Melaka spies her at night and blinks. In fact-]

Why shades?

[forgiatura]

[ Spada can't keep himself in his own business, though, and he finds the business of others (the business of cute girls) far more interesting. Naturally, he takes it upon himself to interrupt Kotomi's reading to encourage a little more liveliness out of her, especially considering he vaguely recognizes her as one of Nagisa and Fuuko's friends. ]

C'mon, you're readin' a book in the middle of New Years? The hell kinda celebration is that?
