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?

"Is it now?" He never would have guessed--a babe and a barkeep? It was very impressive!

He graciously lifts the glass to his lips and takes a sip. It wasn't the way he normally would take his bourbon, if he even took it at all, but he had his reasons on this night.

"Hey...I'm a new guy, so I have to ask... how do you handle your friends from home not being here?"

[folklorist]

Happy New Year to you as well! [ Helios has a big derpy smile on his own face. He is enjoying this quite a lot, and it shows. It's been awhile since he's celebrated with friends. Albeit...someone is missing, Frederic. ]

I'm glad that everyone is enjoying themselves.

[ever_deceptive]

[Yeager always appreciates a good party. Tonight he'll be wandering around in a gray sportcoat and sweater, hitting up Good Spirits and Seventh Heaven for drinks and mingling and later wandering outside for the fireworks. Feel free to run into him anywhere.]

[de_bel_survivor]

That's right. [Back at the sky, watching the fireworks.] Seems like the fireworks this time are looking as good as ever.

[de_bel_survivor]

[Waving with a smile!]

Hey, Kuronuma-kun! And yep, I'm enjoying myself. [DEEP THOUGHTS otherwise] And you?

[lookinforlight]

[Oh that's...Ace! Norma looks left and right in search of the source of her friend's voice and, not finding it, she puts her hands on her hips and frowns. He better not be playing a prank on her or somethi--

Oh, there he is. She looks up on the roof and gives him a little mock salute...with her champagne bottle still in hand. A-Ahaha, she'll pretend she's actually legal age to drink that...and didn't steal it. M-Maybe he won't know or care? Ahem.]

Beauty hurts, naturally. It's not easy being me, I'm telling you. Oh! Thanks for this, by the way, Hothead! I love it! [She holds out her arms and spins, making the gown flutter a little bit.] ...Even if I'm got exactly right size up top...

[Mumble grumble. The woes of a teenaged girl...]

[markofthewise]

I only saw you from the back. I probably would've changed my mind if you were the other way around.

[deadlydebutante]

[Ok, that got a short smile from her. She can appreciate snark.]

Feel free to stand behind me, then.

[markofthewise]

I would, but then I'd lose my spot. And I do enjoy fireworks.

[deadlydebutante]

[Sigh.] Decisions, decisions....

[hiken_ace]

[He salutes back, and smirks. He started drinking when he was ten. He gives no shits.

But now that smirk is just a shit-eating grin.]

Yeah. You need to grow your chest out way more before that dress fits. Should've taken that into account when I got that for ya...

[deathsdoctor]

"Personally? I keep as busy as all hell. I run the Battle Dome clinic, I train, I teach... many things. It helps a bit having your mind focused on other things and not exclusively on the situation. No cure for it, not at all, but it keeps the stir craziness manageable... most of the time."

Such things have been on his mind as of late - ever since the journal broadcast of Miss Nami and the conversation with her later that night. Heavy heavy thoughts... and now they go back and recall the conversation that had taken place between you and his fellow pirate.

"I may have, also, developed far more of a love for the drink than most would consider healthy, but that's true for many in this place. Everyone needs a non Malnosso induced vacation from reality once in a while."

Nevermind due to his tolerance for the stuff, the times he gets drunk are rare indeed.

[ Mulder think quick! Helios' little firework/lightshow is coming your way! Well a festive looking light phoenix to be precise. It'll swoop down towards the man and then burst into a multicolored array of lights! Ohh ahh isn't it pretty? Helios thinks so, but, well he might run over slightly out of breath. Because oh god he did not mean for that to happen! ] S-Sorry! A-Are you alright? I-I must have sent off too l-low.

[folklorist]

[ You can have one derpy headmaster working on perfecting his light show and otherwise pesudo firework display. Even if that doesn't require immediate help Madoka is still free to ask about it or inquire if he does!

There is crackling light that flickers and sparks between his hands as he eyes glow an oddly vibrant green. Nothing out of the ordinary for Luceti, nope. ]

1/4? - you went there, bro. B|

FIRE STORM!

[Yeah, in the back of her mind, Norma knows it won't work, but damn if she cares. Her womanly pride has just been ridiculed, and Ace must pay the price. With her newly powered up eres! All that practicing really paid off...at least for her base to mid-level spells. Hopefully the wind aspect of her spell will at least knock him off his feet if anything. Or, you know, the champagne bottle she threw at Ace's face after finishing her spell should do some damage. Maybe.

Hopefully.]

[To be honest... Richard is glad this year is over. It hasn't been a good one for him with everything that's happened (though there have been some definite pluses, he won't deny that much) and he just wants to get it out of his mind and into the past. Maybe, just maybe, this new year will be a start to something better. He's not sure how much he believes that, but he can hope, right?

Still, he's not going to face the start of a new year without proper preparations, which means he'll be spending the evening in Good Spirits and Seventh Heaven enjoying a few (or perhaps more than a few) drinks. Anyone is free to say hello to him there!

Later on in the evening will find him standing on the bridge nearest to House 28, just watching the fireworks silently. He isn't looking for company, but if anyone approaches, he isn't going to turn them away.]

[pyrotechnics]

Gambit!

[ And there's Jubilee to join you with your celebration. ]

[pyrotechnics]

[ After her big show, Jubilee's going to be making a b-line for that roof. Jumping and swinging her way onto it and landing like a gymnast. ]

Hey!

[ribbonbon]

<sub>[It's already New Year's. Pilouette had been hoping that she wouldn't be stuck in Luceti for this long. For the very first time in her life, she's not celebrating it with family and it feels a bit...strange.

However, she is doing her best to enjoy things and push those thoughts away for now. She's spending her time walking around the village and enjoying all the different fireworks. They're not at all like the ones back home and she's finding them all pretty amazing.]</sub>

[bamfing]

[Nicely done, Jubilee. Kurt sits up once she shows up, in typical X-Man style.]

Hey! Nice job with the light show.
