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?

O-oh! Yeah, uh! Me too!

[WHAT WHAT WHAT]

[shamelessness]

Rin is a good friend. [-Anyway.] My name is Shiemi, it's nice to meet you.

[etudes]

Shiemi-chan.. It's nice to meet you too. [ she bows to the girl. ] My name is Kotomi Ichinose, a senior from class A. [ back.. home.. that is.. ] You spell Kotomi with three wonderful Hiragana, and when referring to me, please call me 'Kotomi-chan'. My hobby is reading. I'd be really, really glad if we could become friends too.

... Ah.. are you one of Rin-kun's friends?

[rashness]

Class A....

[Don't mind him just. Muttering amazed like back here]

[shamelessness]

Yes! We come from the same place.

[etudes]

[ you do just that, Rin.. ]

So it's a friend from home.. I'm glad. It's good to have friends from back home, just like Nagisa-chan and Fuuko-chan are here with me..

[rashness]

[SO MUCH TOMODACHI. HE JUST. SHIFTS AWKWARDLY. Friends are that easy???]

[shamelessness]

Have you known Rin long?

[etudes]

I've known him since I arrived here, so... hmm..

[ nod. ] It's been a while.

[rashness]

...Huh, I guess it has.

[shamelessness]

That's great- Oh! Kotomi-chan? Do you know where we can find a shrine?

[etudes]

[ there's a pause - a thinky pause - and she even tilts her head sideways a little.. ]

There should be a shrine in every major city for you to visit. [ answering the question in general than for Luceti like any normal person would, yes. ]

[rashness]

[She's doing it again...]

Well yeah, we know that.

[shamelessness]

Does Kotomi-chan know if there is one here, though?

[etudes]

In Luceti, you mean..?

... I don't know, sorry. I haven't been to one before, at least..

[rashness]

But its New Years - you gotta do a first shrine visit.

[shamelessness]

Maybe they don't have shrines in Luceti?

[etudes]

Maybe you could go visit something other than a shrine in this place, then..

[rashness]

Like what?

[shamelessness]

Do you know of a place?

[etudes]

[ ponder... ]

Maybe the fountain. You could throw in a coin and make a New Year's wish.

[rashness]

[That seems kinda lame... and he doesn't have coins...

Kotomi...]

[shamelessness]

We don't have any coins.

[etudes]

Maybe you could throw something else in then. [ totally valid. ]

[rashness]

But that'd be weird!
