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?

so dissapoint.......

[it's okay, I understand completely and still love you lots bb]

Yup! I made them earlier in the month for practice, since I've never really baked before, and then the ones I gave you I baked the day before. It was tiring, but fun.

[rollypolyclover]

Yeah, there was a festival at home too! Yotsuba got to wear a... A yukata! Yeah! And there was goldfish catching and candy floss!!

[Slowly getting more and more excited. Hope you're fine having a hyper active little girl on your hands Pao-lin!]

all will be revealed in time ♥

[subsultive]

[ty bb ;;]

It sounds it. Mother used to bake sweets too, although they really weren't her strong point. [He chuckles, remembering.] ...Yours taste a lot better than hers, I'm afraid I'll have to admit.

I WILL LOOK FORWARD TO THIS DAY

[rollypolyclover]

Wait, you're copying me!

[Laughing and waving her arms around now. Awwh, Usagi found her out!]

I will wait for that day with bated breath~

[i_am_not_cute]

[That gets a laugh out of Pao-lin.]

Aww, really? Well, I'm glad you think my stuff tastes good. But it seems like all mothers should be good at cooking, right?

♥ p.s. heading to bed-- good night!

[subsultive]

She made the most amazing cheese soup. [And no one else's will ever compare.] It was my favorite.

[i_am_not_cute]

[This is totally fine with Pao-lin! Seeing a sweet little kid like Yotsuba being so happy and excited makes Pao-lin happy, too.]

Oh, I've heard about festivals like that from my friend. I heard the goldfish catching was pretty hard.

[shadedsunlight]

Either way, I hope you're enjoying yourself. Whenever you want to go enjoy the party, you let me know, all right?

sleep tight~

[i_am_not_cute]

Oh, that does sound good! I've never tried it before, what's in it? I mean, if there's anything in it besides cheese.

[shadedsunlight]

Ginia is taking a moment to adjust her wings through the slits of her matching jacket when she sees Grune come over. The big smile is returned to her friend and a modest bow of her head is offered.

"Thank you, Grune, I'm glad you enjoyed it. You look very beautiful tonight." Of course, Grune always looks beautiful, but it's a very lovely dress.

[rollypolyclover]

How can you be so cool?! It must be a crime, a crime, right?!

[Running over to RD and just staaaring with complete awe. Maybe by standing so close some of that coolness will rub off on her too?!]

[shadedsunlight]

[Ginia sees Gambit as he's getting food and decides to say hello, both to greet him as a guest at the party, and to thank him for the upcoming firework display.]

Remy! It's good to see you tonight. Enjoying yourself, I hope?

YES! Very cute~

[rollypolyclover]

[You're an excellent dancer Yeager. Yotsuba claps her hands and smiles in approval.]

Nope, can't believe it at all! Bye bye old year, it was nice knowing you. You will always be remembered!

[Stopping mid-dance to tug on Yeager's arms once they're holding hands.]

Windmill! Wiiiindmill!

[shamelessness]

I'm so- I'm sorry! I didn't mean- I'm sorry! [Shiemi scrambles to get off Fenimore, but she stays close to make sure the other girl is all right.]

I'll take them both for 200!

[rollypolyclover]

[Snowman making buddy/Shiemi, wait up! Yotsuba wants to run over and hug your legs and wish you a great big--]

Happy new year Sheemi!

[Though Yotsuba isn't a rude little girl, so she'll be sure to regard Rin with a wave. Hi there person she doesn't know!]

[shadedsunlight]

[Ginia, oblivious for now, continues on.]

It has been. How have you been? Have a good Christmas?

[i_am_not_cute]

Sure thing! Thanks for hosting this in the first place. It looks like things are going pretty well.

[rollypolyclover]

Ohhh, it is! Really hard! You need to hold your net, like this!

[Holding her arms out in front of her and spacing her legs apart. This is the most dramatic explanation of how to catch a goldfish ever.]

And then you need to be careful. Go slow. Slooowly... [Suddenly snapping her head in Pao-lin's direction--] Slow!!

And then... WHOOSH! [Flinging her arms into the air!] There, did Youtsuba catch it?!

[shamelessness]

Yotsuba! Happy new year! [With a smile she gives the small girl a light hug.]

[rollypolyclover]

[Oh snap- Does someone know she's out past her bed time?! QUICK. LIE.]

No.

[Smooth as ever. Yotsuba gives herself a mental pat on the back.]

[shadedsunlight]

"Help is always appreciated, especially from someone with party and general organizing experience. We're revisiting an old idea, but putting a bit of a twist on it. We want to use the Battle Dome so we can do a proper tropical paradise. Warm ocean water, soft white sand, a real nice paradise to get away from the cold of winter."

She smiles and gives a light wave of her hand. "Don't worry about it. I think most conversations go off on tangents here. And it's a little weird celebrating the coming of a new year without knowing what year it is. The fifth cycle, but I guess it turned over in October. It'd be 2013 for me, if I were back home."

AH-HA!

[rollypolyclover]

[Why is that person up on the roof? That's dangerous you know. What if they fell and hurt themselves? Gosh.]

Hey! Hello!

[Little girl wants the soon to be birthday boy's attention.]

Be careful!

[shadedsunlight]

[With all the people and Ginia carrying out her duties as hostess, it takes her a few minutes to notice her little shadow. But when she does, she'll drop down and give him a tight hug as a greeting.]

Happy new year, Goku.

[shadedsunlight]

You're welcome. What can I say? I like a good party, this was the perfect time, and the perfect place too.

[She leans down to whisper conspiratorially and offers a small wink.]

Besides, it's the perfect excuse to dress up.

[folklorist]

It sounds as if it would be something spectacular to see in person. I-I've never been but I hope one day, maybe, that I might be able to. I was...thinking about it once, going there and enjoying the evening but- [ that was something he wanted to do with Elise. Things happen and the dream died along with several others. Helios still is smiling as he looks back up at the night sky. ]

This probably doesn't compare to New York though.
