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?

You're welcome!

Are you both having a nice time tonight?

[lostinmyway]

Oh, yes. We'll be at the party soon, so then we can see if your friends are there.

"It's coffee with Irish cream and whiskey in it, and some barkeeps top it with whipped cream and creme de menthe. Yeah it's good."

Lupin cheerfully followed along, glad to be talking about lighter things.

[contentedly]

[His words hit against her heart like a hammer, cracking her outer layer of protection to find pain. Blistering and raw, and hopelessly real, it's almost a relief to feel the now, the present pain, as opposed to the distant aloofness of a false smile.

Except that it hurts. It hurts so much that Gracia sways on her feet.

And she's angry. She's so angry with him for leaving them, for promising to be there and then breaking it, just like everyone else in here life. She's furious that Elicia has to grow up as she did, without a father. She's so, so angry, with a fury she can not, will not show.

It's that determination, not to show him her anger, which keeps her standing, though she trembles with the force of keeping it suppressed.]

I know. [That's whispered.] I know.

[His other self knew all of Mystique's plans for Rogue. Though those memories are hazy already. But when it comes down to it, he doesn't need another life to tell him what is obvious. Why would his mother adopt some random mutant...]

She needed your powers.

[And not just any powers. Rogue's powers.]

If she wanted just any mutant... well, I wouldn't be Kurt Wagner.

[shamelessness]

E-eh? [Really? Rin did a back flip? Shiemi lowers her hands to look at him.]

[shamelessness]

[Shiemi give Kotomi a confused look. What would they throw in? Bottle caps? That doesn't seem appropriate.]

[touchofrogue]

[Well, him guessing that means that she doesn't need to bare her heart over Destiny or any of that...

The best thing she ever did for you was let you go.]

No. You'd be Michael Darkholme. [And we both remember what a charmer he was, right? Don't be sad about this, Kurt.

But because she doesn't want him thinking about that too much either...]

And you're right. That was all it was, from the beginnin'.

[emp3thy]

That doesn't sound bad.

[ledbythewind]

No, never the other way around. I...

[But then he just shakes his head, a faint smile playing on his lips.]

... you aren't nearly as bad as you seem to think you are.

now eat your burger (cozy)

[catches]

[ well when her twintails develop!! ]

Yeah; truly, this is a glorious day in your life.

[catches]

[ are you sure...?

Oh hey, intros!! ] No worries, Falkner! I'm Brendan, the Hoenn region's Champ! I... don't really have a specialty!

b-become meguca?

[catches]

[(unsure)

yep, straight from the Jynx!!]

H-hey! [GURRRRRRL YOU DID NOT JUST.] No fair! [Get back here, his legs are longer!]

[subsultive]

N-No! Should I..?

[crisisrain]

Dhaos? [He thinks hard, that's not a name he recognizes.] Is he in Luceti?

[subsultive]

Streetlights, mostly. It just gives it the feel of being out of one, I guess... I've only been out at night a handful of times, and I usually got scared of dogs and cats knocking down cans in the alley. [Ahahaa............ He might be a wimp pleasedon'tthinklessofhim.] It was just a little spooky, I guess.

[subsultive]

[Hand holding--!!] U-Um-- sure! D-Do you have a place in mind? Somewhere high up would be best, r-right?

[subsultive]

And I'd like to see the ones at your home.

[inabook]

[better hope Iria doesn't see it]

Hmm, there aren't that many high places close to town. One of the community buildings? Or maybe the cherry tree hill...

[lostinmyway]

Yes, he's been here for a long time. Haven't you met him yet?

[Considering the dude makes Kratos Aurion look like a social butterfly, probably not.]

[aintnoconvict]

Oh. [ darn, and Glitch was all set to embrace this fun new cultural thingy. he quickly recovers from his disappointment, though. ] Well, you picked a nice time for it! Everybody seems to be in a good mood, and and this can only brighten it.

[ ha ha it's funny because it's a pun! ]

[subsultive]

She sounds fun to be friends with. I'm sure there's never a dull moment with her around, too.

[subsultive]

[he's going to get in a fair amount of trouble for half his threads if they ever get mentioned tbh - spada's the only safe one]

The hill sounds saf-- uh, fine! Let's go there. [Everyone else has been dragging him up to the roofs of community buildings.]

[rollypolyclover]

No. He's back home and he's really friendly... But really bad at hide and seek.

BECAUSE?!

[penetrated]

Mm! No matter how hard it might be for us, we should try our best to keep their spirits up! That way, everyone will be happy!
