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?

...I guess it might help a little?

Yeesh. Kaname, you need a regimen of focusing on yourself sometime.

.. Huh? [ she blinks at him. ]

What do you mean..? Did I do something wrong?

[menial]

Well, you worry too much about other people.

Your mission should be to go to the hot springs and enjoy yourself for a day without pausing to help any stray kittens or lost orphans.

[happyends]

Is.. worrying about other people a bad thing then, Kyon-san? I didn't know.. I just thought it would be nice if everyone could be a little happier.

[ do you see that slightly dejected expression, Kyon? do you? ]

[menial]

Like everything else, it's good in moderation, Kaname. But you can't subdue human nature forever.

[happyends]

Subdue human nature, huh.. How do you mean that?

[menial]

Humans will always end up serving themselves, on average, even if individuals are like you... They'll try to satisfy their own desires. Just for the sake of sanity, one has to cultivate a bit of it for one's self.

[happyends]

Hmm, I guess it could be good for people.. a-and their sanity, yes. But is it really that weird that doing something for other people would make me happy..?

[menial]

It's more the way you never seem to think about anything else.

[happyends]

... A.. ah, so it's weird after all, isn't it.. [ a little awkward now, so she opts to stare at her feet instead. ]

[menial]

...Perhaps so, Kaname, but if so, it's weird in a good way. But I assume you might be happier if you were a little more like us normal people.

[happyends]

Hmm, but.. I think I'm already happy as-is, even if that in itself might be weird too then in that case..

[menial]

Well, if you're happy, then I suppose I certainly have nothing to complain about.
