Out with the old....

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?

[Oh. Wow. She's still a little kid, this is almost cute. Okay, he really can't resist this next part.]

Aww, Norma. Never been kissed before? [He sighs and pats her head.] You've got a looong way to go in the world.

[He holds up his bottle of rum.] You're turning red just from the smell of this stuff, no way am I letting you drink any. [Yes, you can punch him.]

[Oh my god, Ace. You truly are the annoying bastard brother Norma never wanted ever. Her face turns a deep shade of red because...yeah, he hit the nail on the head about her never having kissed anyone before in her life. M-Mainly because the person she cared for the most was--]

OOOOH, YOU GIANT SLEAZE! [She grabs his wrist and is tempted to bend his arm back painfully, but instead throws it off with all her might.] Dirtbag! I don't want anything from you! I'm going home right now!

[She stomps her foot to show she's srs bznz!! then gathers up her shoes, bunches up her dress so she can walk with a little less effort, and...storms away. Yeah, she doesn't care this is probably unsafe as all hell, and there's...really nowhere for her to go other than the other side of the roof, but that was mean! Cold shoulder tactic go!]

[At first, he just laughs like the shithead he is, but when his laughter dies down and he sees her walking away, he walked at a pretty fast past to stand next to her and grab her arm.]

Idiot. If you walk around barefoot on a roof, you're gonna slip on the ice. C/mon, I'll help you get down.

[Keeping a gentle grip on her arm to make sure she doesn't fall.]

I don't need your help!

[Norma waves him away at first, but when she misses a step (yes, that was an ice patch, ohai) and practically topples head over heels into the snow, she...decides it's best to take Ace up on his offer. BUT SHE'S NOT HAPPY ABOUT IT. Pouting. So much pouting.

And clinging.]

F-F-Fine! But just this once; a-and I'm going home after! You're mean! [She sticks out her tongue at him, and blows. So mature is she.] And I can't even punch you... It's not fair.

O-oi! [He holds onto her again, helping her get her balance.] You okay?

[You must be getting so pissed off now that he's being all nice and trying to help you, ohoho~. He stands on her others side, closer to the edge of the roof to prevent her from falling.]

Yeah, it's too cold to stay out here any longer. I'll take you home. [He just smiles at her.] Okay, okay, you get one punch, but that's it.

[YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW ANGRY SHE IS. Norma huffs, but keeps her grip on Ace's arm firm and secure. As upset as she is with him for his constant jabs at her, she really would rather not fall off a roof, thanks. One broken leg in her lifetime is more than enough. Plus she...really didn't want to walk home on her own. It was cold, and Ace's power came in so handy for the ridiculously long walk she had in store. Ngh...why did the Ferines have to choose to live so far away from civilization?]

Oooh...you--! [She huffs and bops Ace lightly on the head. Ugh! He's being sweet and nice and charming just so Norma couldn't find it in herself to really hit him! Jerk.] You're such a dummy. I can't hit you on your birthday. What kind of person would I be if I did that, huh?! Just take me home, it's cold, and I've got a looong way to walk.

[He just winks at the light bop, and smiles.] And you're a sweet kid.

[He gingerly picks her up and jumps off the roof.] Damn right I'm taking you home. It's too late for you to be walking home alone anyway.

Yeah, yeah, whatever...

[Norma huffs and crosses her arms, not bothering to uncross them or stop pouting even when Ace picks her up. She doesn't meet his eye and snorts - she could walk home fine without him if it wasn't cold! It's not like she's little--]

[Wait, why is he walking closer to the edge of the roof?]

[...He's not.]

[He is.]

Wha--wait a minute! Y-Y-You're not really going to...! Do-Don't you dare, I'm not ready! I'm not ready yet! [OH GOD OH MAN OH GOD.]

[Too late. SCREEEEEEEEEE!!]

H-Hothead--Ace!

[LATCHING ONTO YOU LIKE A BARNACLE.]

[He was grinning until she started CLINGING TO HIM FOR DEAR LIFE. After that, he just sort of. Well.

Started laughing.] C'mon, it wasn't even that high! [He sets her down on the ground, still laughing a bit.]

'S not like I was gonna jump off a cliff or anything. Though, that would be fun.

[He'll have to do it sometime.]

[--asjfkhvdfffffff!!

Norma is not letting you go just yet, Ace, even when she's set down. Her legs feel like pudding and she whimpers quietly just once before her righteous fury kicks in and her strength is renewed. Can she just...hit you? For real this time? You gave her a free shot. B|

But no. She's throwing her arms up into the air and stomping away from Ace as fast as she can. TO HELL WITH YOU.]

Oh, so it's not good if I fall off the roof, but it a-okay if you jump off of it?! That's some kind of twisted logic right there, ooooooh! And you can jump into a bottomless pit for all I care, but count me out, Hothead! Why do I even bother hanging out with you, you're such a...a--!

[Yeah, she doesn't know what, so she just makes an angry noise and moves off faster. SHE DOESN'T NEED YOU TO WALK HER BACK. SHE'LL FREEZE FIRST. >:T]

[He gives a half smile because oh shit, did he upset her that much? He was holding her carefully...]

Well, I thought I had a tight enough grip that you wouldn't fall off...sorry.

[And he's just going to follow. Nope, not walking home alone, got it?]

[Ffff. Norma's totally not reply to that. In fact, she's opting to give Hothead here the cold shoulder, to the extent of keeping three paces ahead of him and suffering through the cold, too, even if she's very visibly shaking. So help him if he touches her, too.

Truth is, she got scared, and was throwing a childish tempter tantrum. That, and piling on his constant teasing for the night...well, she has reason to be mad! Even if it's his birthday, she's not going to just let him be a big jerkface.]
