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?

Uh... huh. That's interesting.

[Ques is totally cool with this petting thing! Thank you, nice lady! Technically, as a Luceti pet, he should be able to express this in words, but he prefers to coo instead.

Fenimore, meanwhile, shakes her head.] One time when I was [mallynapped] ...away, Grune -- one of my housemates -- she kept feeding him peaches. Now he won't stop eating them until he gets fat, and Grune keeps sneaking them to him. [She sighs.] He won't even exercise on his own, the lazy thing.

[rashness]

[huh then... maybe...]

[musubi]

[Staring at you. Staring.]

[ex_affability656]

[He wishes she would be angry with him. That would be something he could see, something he could pick up and put back together again. Something he could fix instead of being the one who broke first. He's not going to let himself forget that. She's the one suffering more and yet he broke first.

He wants to help her. He knows she's hurting in the same ways he is--and even more ways beyond that. Please, he wants to help her.

And he realizes--it can't just be one of them. Supporting the other, bearing the weight, wearing the smile while there's still ache inside. It might mean heartbreak. And it might mean facing things that want to stay submerged.

But they're stronger than this. He knows that. Together, they can get through this. Together, they can cry. And together, they can mend.

But it begins with uncovering wounds to let them breathe and heal.]

...Still. Still. I said I'd always be there. And I'm not.

[Smiiiiling.]

[thenightmarebegins]

I was going to watch them.

[...From afar. Hidden somewhere alone.]

[This is one of the upsides of being the tallest human in Luceti. No stand is out of reach for her, so she grabs tea and a few cups rather quickly to set them on the table.

Daisy is not a tea connoseur, but she's picking a little more sugar than usual.]

So if anything does happen, you can at least use your knowledge to help here.

[He's sure preventing it at all would be better, but still.]

[geniustheveil]

[Well, considering Chiba Mamoru isn't here, she can be pretty sure the princess' feelings for Endymion won't awaken in Usagi. And if those feelings stay suppressed, the princess won't be infuriated by their separation. And if Endymion is not here... Endymion cannot die before the princess' very eyes yet again, leading her to that despair.]

For now, it's alright here. Definitely. [She just worries for the future, when it depends on so many things that boil down to simple chance.]

I'll give you that one, if you'll give me being right about the buck teeth.

I've been thinking Hyt is the one to save for last, for that reason. I've had luck with Nala, so far, but with the distractions around here I haven't gotten to focus on trying anyone else yet.

[But he is determined! Even if it takes years, even if some are always less strong than others he will gather them all.]

[folklorist]

Yes Hyt was rather difficult to get a handle on. But I think everyone can hear them eventually. [ Even him with his tarnished soul and past deeds. ]

If you like...I could help you. Never opposed to helping out a fellow villager. But! Good thing is that you've contacted Nala so the other spirits will recognize that and warm up to you after awhile. [ Usually. ]

[lostinmyway]

[That earns him a momentarily confused look--doesn't he like hugs? --but then she says:]

All right! I'll think of a very good time to tell him how I feel.

[lostinmyway]

Oh, that would be very kind of you. Thank you!

[She gives him an even bigger smile.]

[sundead]

I guess. It'd be a lot of work, though.

[and he's lazy.]

[shamelessness]

I think that should work!

[shamelessness]

I never knew that before, so it's nice to learn!

[shamelessness]

He's cute though. I like him.

[penetrated]

[N...o...?]

Eh... he sounds kind of mysterious, with that description.

[HOW EVIL.]

[penetrated]

You definitely should! I really want to see if he can pull it off, you know?

huzzah~

[rollypolyclover]

Yeah, Yotsuba met Captain Jack, he's a pirate and he's really cool. He has a pony and Yotsuba got a pony ride!

Do you have a pony too? [If one pirate has a pony then they all must have one!]

[rollypolyclover]

It's not?

[...]

What's this then? Is it a half flip?

[inabook]

Yes, the flowers are beautiful! It's almost like being back in Halure.

[moehealer]

Oh, great! Do you guys want me to show you the way there, or do you know where it is?
