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?

Yeah, I know. It's really amazing when you think about it. All those worlds out there, other than ours and the demon world. And heaven, if we count that place. [Yeah whatever that's God's place who cares about that]

[pyrotechnics]

[ SHOVE. It's lighthearted but it's. uh. rough. ] I've never gotten to do a show in front of people before!

[pyrotechnics]

You know it!

[ She's bouncing on the heels of her feet. ] I can't believe we really get to do this! This is so rad!

[the_brightest_sun]

I suppose. At least it's a good excuse for having a feast with everyone!

[Priorities, he has them clear.]

[breaks_destiny]

Every part, even the smallest one?

[He's just smiling over her, quickly to close hold on her hand once she goes ahead and holds his. Possessive? Ok, maybe a tiny bit, but nothing serious. He eyes the fireworks though as she talks about them.]

You picked an excellent spot to watch them. Good call.

[uccellodifuoco]

I saw you walk before, you can't. Unless now walking involves tripping all around and bumping into things in front of you.

[lunas]

You mean you can't?! I thought it was something anyone at all with a nose could do! And I've never seen anyone without a nose before.

[happyends]

I agree. [ a nod, rather happily. ] I'm glad that we can have something like this even in this place, that we can still all go and celebrate it together no matter what..

[repudiate]

I do mean it, how could I just keep sitting here watching the fireworks if you'd fall off and break something? I wouldn't just let you lie there whimpering.

[ see, she's actually nice, okay!! it's just.. hidden under deadpan.. ]

And go ahead. I didn't make you come up here just to send you back down.

[repudiate]

Didn't you say something about stopping a World War before? That sounds enough like a hero to me.

[ ... ] Yeah, I think there's.. plenty of people who don't really want to leave.

[lunas]

Who's Jumbo? [ blink. ] One of your friends, Yotsuba-chan?

[Miyabi smiles at Haruhi looking around at everything in wonder, then opens up the door to her home, enters, removes her shoes, and goes to make her some fresh, herbal tea with lemon. It'll be all organic of course, and take a while to get the water to boil and the tea to brew.]

Please, make yourself at home. If you'd like anything else at all, I'd be happy to oblige! Ah, and, uhm...s-sorry for the mess. I didn't expect company.

[The "mess" she's talking about is a pile of paper in the corner near one window, some of them scattered out into piles on the floor, others clipped and hanging on a string tied atop said window. They're all paintings. Some with color, others (the majority) without. Ink works and charcoal. There are folders there, too. Seems she was trying to organize her work.]

[ctrlaltdemons]

Oh, is that the one over in the north end of the village?

[hasnobeats]

[o-oh, that's depressing...]

Alright, alright. I won't tease you again though, alright? [inb4 he does anyway. He helps pull her a bit as she gets up. There we go!]

Well, you do like food a lot, don't you? [see there it is] How do you even mix those two words up though?

[hasnobeats]

[So rude, Haruhi... Otonashi still hasn't heard much about the magic in Luceti, so he's rather surprised when he sees the flames.]

...Is that fire around your hand? [staaaaaring]

you secretly never had tag nirvana the past 5 days.

[happyends]

[ wait, why is he blushing, she doesn't get it.. ]

... Are you feeling alright? [ hey, maybe it's a fever!! ]

[happyends]

[ isn't stealing a bad thing-- hmm, she probably shouldn't comment on that, that'd be rude.. ]

That's okay. If you want to have the same resolution, then.. hmm, it's really alright. It's good if as many people as possible as made happy, after all.

I think this tag didn't go through before. Maybe.

[sundead]

Something like that. Starting off the new year in a good way.

no it's your fault, madoka used her meduka powers to make the tag vanish...

[sundead]

[...fff...]

Yes! Perfectly fine!

[.......think of something to say to change the subject, Ayumu. Anything.]

So... Do you believe in UFOs?

[That line didn't work the first time you tried it!]

[shamelessness]

We don't have any coins.

[shamelessness]

We're looking for a shrine to make a New Year's offering. You haven't done it?

[redjacketthief]

"Oh, we'll speak again all right." Now that he knew where to find Ginia easily, there would be plenty of interesting stories in the future. He bobbed his head as well, his own smile grateful. He felt better, at least as much as he could in a place that was starting to get stifling.

He lifts his glass in a small, silent toast. "It's too much fun talking to you to not do this again. Thanks for taking time out of your night for a little talk."

That wasn't a lie.

[redjacketthief]

He would. It might not be for a few weeks, or even months, but Lupin was starting to formulate the basis of a plan. Even if unsuccessful, it would make him feel better. That was the important part.

Lupin couldn't help but smile at the man's responce. He loved it when people understood the idea of taking a third choice when only a couple were offered. "It does. An Irish coffee is starting to sound pretty good right about now."

Whiskey was on his brain in the same way that fireworks and future plans were. It was kind of just there that night, like many of the quirks that were ever present but that he didn't want to get used to.

it's a mystery 8|a

[fallenambitions]

Hm. I doubt any amount of praying would help this place. [A pause as he glances toward the sky]

It's hard to believe a year has already passed.

[moezama]

Are you...you're saying it's actually possible to contact them? [He never believed anyone could this whole time.]

...Maybe I shouldn't. They'll just think it's a waste of time.
