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?

"Just like Hawaii. Oh, that's a good idea! We had a mixed assortment of leis last time, plastic and real flowers, though we also had it in the summer. I'll have to see some of the leis went. And who doesn't like a bit of warm, summer fun when it's so cold? Then we can flip it around in the summer, do a snowy log cabin or something."

If Ginia knew Draco had taken her suggestion, gone with it, and made it a success, she'd be quite pleased. The Battle Dome was wonderful like that, a pleasant little escape from reality filled with infinite possibilities only limited by the imagination one had.

"I think I only know a small handful of people ahead of me as far as Earth years go. Otherwise people are within two or three years, or back in the 90s." She grins slightly, remembering a few occasions of pop culture references being missed. "Nice having a few modern people around who understand why I miss my laptop at times or get my movie references."

She doesn't think it's "ladylike." She's always saying that she has to raise me as a "proper young lady" because she's looking after me instead of my parents, so she always tries to get me to wear really girly clothes or take me out to beauty salons and stuff...

It's true December has lots of great parties and days, but the other months have nice holidays to celebrate to. If there was more than one December, it'd be hard organizing parties and finding gifts each time, but with one, you can make it really big and special.

[shadedsunlight]

Oh please. [There's a small scoff in there, but it's light and gentle.] There's more to being a "proper young lady" than the clothes you wear. It's not what you wear, but how you act.

[rashness]

[SO MUCH TOMODACHI. HE JUST. SHIFTS AWKWARDLY. Friends are that easy???]

[rashness]

[... No way. He just looks in amazement and :| ]

[shadedsunlight]

Same in my world. It's pretty remarkable seeing it exist here and even knowing it's real and very common in other worlds.

[lostinmyway]

[Grune, dressed in a warm coat and a fancy dress, stumbles on Daisy quite by accident, during one of those times where her focus just isn't quite there. She blinks, a little surprised to see her so far away.]

Oh, hello, Daisy. Aren't you going to the party?

[touchofrogue]

[She snaps her fingers.]

Spoil all my fun.

ahhh food + sleep is good... eat until you're stuffed and then sleep the winter away...

[subsultive]

I'm sure it'll be wonderful anyway. There's no such thing as bad cheese soup. [TO HIS KNOWLEDGE.]

... you really are a pervert aren't you

[penetrated]

Ah... that'd be great! [nodding!] I'd love the chance to help you out, Miss...?

[penetrated]

Well... I think finding a chance to chat with everyone would be a start? [how does you social etc??]

\o/

[penetrated]

No singing either! [... He's still glad he didn't have to do any of that.]

Aha... that was a pretty awkward first meeting, really.

[penetrated]

Exactly! [ALL OF THE SMILES.] It's great to have a celebration where everyone can have fun like this.

OH MY GOD it's all because you keep tagging me with perverted stuff??

[happyends]

Madoka! Kaname Madoka-- nice to meet you!

[ quickly bowing for maximum ~*politeness*~ ]

[etudes]

But if we would have to chat with all the people here, we wouldn't be finished until in a few days, I think.. [ you just don't social!! ]

"Thanks. That'll spare me a few losses." He's always forced to tap out during those impromptu wrestling matches. Jigen gets way too into delivering those headlocks, and his vision goes fuzzy from the constriction.

Lupin likewise leans in, as if he had known Ginia for more than a conversation and they were trading war stories. What was wrong with speaking of absent friends? It was obvious no one was concerned about that for his sake.

"What's there to say, really?" He asks this with a small laugh. "We're all so different. We all have different goals, different ideas. Just as often than not we end up working against eachother--but, you know? Our goals end up matching in some way, and that's when things get cool."

[redjacketthief]

The name brought to mind Trafalgar Square and his many trips to London--and all the fun he had pretending to be a local so he could give tourists bad directions. Lupin smiled at the memory. "That's a pretty cool name you have there," he said. "Nice meeting you."

"I'm still new here, so maybe it hasn't hit me yet...but I don't plan on getting too comfy here." He had his reasons, the most important of which was that such a settled life was not in his blood at all. It he were created for such domesticity, he never would have left France and probably would be some actor or tinkerer somewhere.

He didn't believe that he could ever get comfortable in such a place.

[the_brightest_sun]

[Have a staring kid.]

What other holidays to celebrate are there? I've been here since January and I don't remember any like this one.

[There was Valentine's but he just got a puppy love case so it went well over his head.]

[hasnobeats]

[this face. just this face.]

[hasnobeats]

Oh, if you say so..!

[STARTING TO WALK AWAY NOW...]

[ever_deceptive]

You're welcome. You know, I believe I've seen you around town before, but I don't think we've ever met. I'm Yeager. And you're..?

[lunas]

[ ... wait, why is he walking away, that's not supposed to happen when something like that is being said in a movie what are you doing Otonashi breaking all the scripts!! ]

W-waaait! [ FLAILING ON THE GROUND. ] I don't want to die..!

[folklorist]

I suppose you're right! Less crowded and certainly a better view than if back home. I-I've never been to the one in Sydney either.

[ Helios ponders for a moment. ] I've only seen small portions of it on the, um, television. [ Which he had no hand in. ]

[hasnobeats]

[PSSSSSSH. Screw the rules, Otonashi's dead anyway!]

But you just told me to leave you behind.
