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?

Oh yes! Every year at the same time and on the same day! It's quite popular for many cultures since it's rather...open towards anyone. Secular and hardly religious at all. Different countries do different things for it.

To be honest, I'm glad you forget that part. I'd much prefer to just be Richard here-- there's more than enough time for me to be King Richard at home.

[And then he lifts his finger to his lips, thinking.]

Of course, you'll need a title as well.

ruuude.

[subsultive]

That's dangerous! This really isn't the best place to watch them from, b-but...

[At least they're not at risk of dying?

Luca's never been built for climbing, though, and maybe that's where his hesitation comes from. Also staying alive sounds good.]

[musubi]

Screw that.

I tried one of those and I'd rather not bother again.

:D

[folklorist]

It's been awhile hasn't it? I'm glad to see you're enjoying yourself, Fuuko!

[ He smiles at the party hats a bit amused by them. Helios would love a party hat because he does look rather dashing in them! ]

how big do you want it?!

[happyends]

[ AAAAAH RUNS AWAY, DROPS LUCETI AND NEVER RETURNS AGAIN.. ]

D-dying to know?! [ no madoka don't go ahead and take it seriously don't go ahead and-- ] I'd rather prefer if they wouldn't die, you know..

... ah, unless you meant it figuratively..

[ledbythewind]

I could make you a knight or a lord...

[etudes]

[ for a moment she seems actually genuinely surprised. ]

I'm not celebrating right now..? [ reading a book out under the fireworks sounds like a legit celebration to her!! ]

[etudes]

[ having bully conversations with Nagisa and now Fuuko.. ]

As long as they leave everyone else alone, it should be fine. But.. for bullies to be happy, they need to be bullying someone..

[folklorist]

[ A sheepish laugh from Helios. ] It's a rather good thing it wasn't a fireball. Might have a few mishaps and with all the trees around... [ oh gods it'd be horrible! ]

Ah yes something like that. I suppose it's easier wh-when your magic is mostly elemental. Fire, earth, water. Those sorts of things I've found to be easier to combine together than having solely one type of element at your disposal.

[folklorist]

It is! Somewhat...aside from the presents. [ But who's to say you couldn't give people any on the day? Helios smiles. ]

A good thing to celebrate and reflect on. All the things that have happened throughout the year and how in the new one, we can change ourselves to make things better.

[repudiate]

I love you, so.. that means every part of you. That's all.

[ So don't think too much of it mind it too much when she realises their hands are still that close, so they might as well just downright go ahead and hold hands - hence that is what she's doing right now. But to divert the attention from that.. ]

... Ah, look. There's some of the fireworks.

[repudiate]

So you're saying in that case the rest of the village should just rely on you, the hero who will save the day?

[folklorist]

Good, good! No better way to go out of the new year than with a bang am I right? [ Helios just laughs at his own joke. ]

I'm glad to see so many people enjoying themselves though.

But what if Vanitas poisoned them?

[personafalsify]

Oh yeah? How?

[personafalsify]

[ Rep looks over the whole thing as well. ] ... I'm fine with anything.

[ He's still working on sorting out that whole "food preferences" thing. Though he tentatively reaches for some chips. ]

you're not. lukius is. woof woof.

[rollypolyclover]

[Yeah but once she hits six then that's when the real brattiness will kick in.]

Uhhm... Ice cream, cream puffs and candy.

[Cavities ahoy!]

[rollypolyclover]

Daddy is kind of tall. Jumbo is just taller! [*Fixed?]

[rollypolyclover]

But, but!

[...Oh this isn't fair. At all.]

There's a party. And stuff. And bedtime is-- But the story! The story...

[menial]

...True, but it's good for kids to go to bed on time ['before the party gets out of control...'], uh, cause their brains are growing and so on.

[rollypolyclover]

Raaah! Really scary, even scarier when combined!

[...]

Jumbo is probably taller though. Like... Four times as tall as us now. He's huge.

[rollypolyclover]

Ohhh, Yotsuba didn't think you were an AC, but you are! So you're an AC, and a pony, and a flying pony, and a pegasus.

[That's a lot of things there.[

Like a value pack at the supermarket, four for one!

[rollypolyclover]

So if Yotsuba wants a bigger brain it's better to go to bed?

[That'd be cool. A bigger brain means she'd be smarter, right?]

Will it keep growing and keep growing until it starts coming out of my nose?

[menial]

.......

Is that what you want it to do, Yotsuba?

[ctrlaltdemons]

[ wooooooow thanks, ange.. really.. ]

Somehow it sounds like you don't really mean that. [SOB.] Mind if I sit here though?
