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?

A big part of Thanksgiving is spending time with your family and friends and enjoying a great big feast.

She laughs as well. Unsurprising, but very cute.]

Food is delicious. I love trying new things.

[subsultive]

[...he only had courage enough for one why would you do this--]

Um-- Mmhmm. I'm sure that, um... anyone else would say the same.

[shadedsunlight]

Always is, but you'll get it in time. However, most importantly? Be you.

Kairi spots her as she makes another entrance into Seventh Heaven. She had been sitting at the bar mostly people watching, but when she sees the older woman enter she slides off of the stool and approaches her.

"Looks like everything's pretty successful."

[lostinmyway]

You should come visit! Ginia is playing some very nice songs on the piano and there are lots of people to talk to.

[risingwinds]

Uh...

[Hm. Let's see...]

Well, I think the cycle year is different from the actual year, 'cause the fifth cycle year started a few months back. But it's a different world, so time's probably different than back home.

[Man, Luceti-logic is complicated.]

He would probably roll it into spikes and flames!

[risingwinds]

[Guuuys, that's not fair.

Okay, maybe it is. Huff.]

Well, we don't have to talk to everyone!

[lostinmyway]

Oh, I don't know. Maybe we should ask Helios.

Come join the fun, Minato. There's room for everyone!

[risingwinds]

You too!

[Chances are, Dataku is wearing the coat, but he's shorter than regular Riku by a fair bit, if it helps.

Either way, Ven gestures over to Dataku with a smile.]

This is a friend of mine. He just got here a while ago, and he could really use some friends. That's why I brought him here!

[risingwinds]

[He nods.]

Sure did! He's new here, so I thought I'd help him make some new friends.

[Don't worry, bud. She doesn't bite!]

[risingwinds]

Thanks, Fuuko!

[Ven certainly doesn't mind blue and yellow. They make green, anyway! As for Rep...]

And that's Kohan. He's a friend of mine, but he doesn't have many friends, so I thought I'd help him out.

[lostinmyway]

[She takes it and starts polishing!] All right--I'll do my best!

[most_unwanted]

[Mulder notices that, but this kind of thing would get even the most tactful person on edge.] If we can gain anything for ourselves that doesn't come from them, it'd be a step in the right direction.

[lostinmyway]

[And then things start sinking in.

She smiles.] But that was still a very nice thing for you to say. Thank you!

[moezama]

Ah, I heard about the cycle year being somewhere in the fall. So no one...really knows how long this place has actually been here?

[selphie_t]

Green and tasty!

[She doesn't have any idea, Ginia.]

[selphie_t]

[Selphie nods eagerly before bouncing away.]

Yup!

[shadedsunlight]

Let's get you more green and tasty then. [Or colorless and tasteless water.]

Enjoying the night?

[fellpool]

[Leon yawns as he looks up at the night sky. A clear day at last, and just in time to ring in the new Gregorian calendar year. ...Not that it was necessarily a good thing, being stuck in Luceti for another year.

He adjusts his earmuffs and sits alone in the plaza with a mug of hot chocolate. Of all the nights to have trouble staying up, it's the one night where staying up until midnight is the entire point of celebrating. Figures.]

[selphie_t]

Kaaaaay! [Or Green Kool-aid. It's not like she'll be able to tell the difference right now.]

Yup yup!

the friendship katamari is very roomy. c:

[encryptedpages]

[Yeah, he is wearing the coat but at least he is shorter and... a good deal younger in appearance. At least he'll... lower the hood. Sometime.]

Nice to meet you. [Yet he knows using Riku's name wouldn't be the best idea, so he fails to introduce himself. Saying he was a journal hadn't set well for others before, and because of this he was avoiding situations like this. But... this guy was probably waiting for a name. Oh, the awkward.]

[vervainsheriff]

It's more that old habits die hard, especially for one raised in fear of the unknown.

"You're from Earth, too?" She has no idea why she's surprised. Maybe it's the presence of so many weird people and things she'd never imagined. Or it could be the whole dragged to a place that shouldn't exist and be treated like a lab rat. "Do you mind if I ask where you're from?"

Because clearly that's more important than talking about parties and the place they're currently residing in.

Locked to Gracia!

[ex_affability656]

[A New Year is something to celebrate. Especially when by all logical considerations, you shouldn't even be able to celebrate one. But he isn't going to stop and think about that now. It's a very special evening and he's going to spend it with his very special someone.

It may just be a quiet evening at home, but that's perfectly alright with him! Once Elicia is tucked away in bed, he'll set out on a grand search of the house for Gracia. Has he got a surprise for you!]

[vervainsheriff]

"Caroline..."

Damn it, Liz would never be able to figure her daughter out. What was so wrong with trying to find a normal life, or with trying to protect a town? It was natural for Liz, something she'd grown up with. Why couldn't Caroline see that?

"Am I not supposed to?"

A hint of annoyance, anger, worry, and fear were all present in her tone at that question. "What would you rather I do? I'm not a... social butterfly, Caroline." The idea was kind of icky to her, to be honest. It felt wrong, like a skin she couldn't shed but wanted nothing to do with.

[vervainsheriff]

He would have to because Liz didn't see things the same way. The family voice brought a tinge of recognition along with wariness. Liz turned to eye the boy approaching her. At least he'd called her 'Sheriff' this time. That was a plus.

"Good evening. If you're looking for Caroline, she's here."
