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?

[So convincing, Yostuba. He'll play along though.]

If you say so. Are you enjoying the night?

[rollypolyclover]

[Damn right she says so! Were she any more convincing Luca might've ended up believing that he's up a little late instead.]

Yup! Yotsuba loves everything here! Music and dancing and all sorts of fun~!

[Mind if she takes your hand, Luca? She wants to show him how they dance back on the island to the left... Which mostly involves spinning around all over the place and jumping up and down.]

[subsultive]

[He'll follow as best he can - minus the jumping, probably, but he'll spin her a little. He's not good at dancing lessons with Spada that have yet to be threaded but will inevitably happen in a certain homolog haven't helped him in the least but he can do his best to let her have a little fun.]

You're such a good dancer, Yostuba! Where'd you learn it? I was thinking of taking lessons, but I think I'd like to learn from whoever taught you.

[rollypolyclover]

I learnt all by myself! Yotsuba can be smart like that you know.

[Shaking Luca's hands up and down as she keeps on dancing. His best will suffice for now, but dude you totally need those lessons and you should link them in chat when said thread occurs okay okay good]

Maybe Yotsuba can teach you how to dance as a-leg-antly as me!

[subsultive]

[we'll see we'll see]

I'd like that a lot. How about a quick lesson right now?

[rollypolyclover]

[Right now?! Man oh man, she needs a whistle for this or something. Lessons are serious things. Ah well, she'll make do.]

Okay! This is Yotsuba's first dance class. Atteeeen-shun!!

[Bringing her hand up to her forehead in a salute.]

[subsultive]

[Mimicking her salute!]

What's your first order, teacher?

[rollypolyclover]

One! Now we will learn how to spin!

[Sticking her arms out and twiling around and around.]

Try that! Keep going round and round and round-- Dizzy! So dizzy!

[subsultive]

Y-You're going to hurt yourself! [Here, let him take one of those hands instead and keep her in one place while she spins. Much better.]

[rollypolyclover]

Ohhh, twirling around really fast!

[Eventually she slows herself down and stops, staggering a little.]

The world is spinnnning arooound hahaha~! Okay, okay, your go!

[subsultive]

[He lets go of her hand and-- well, he might as well indulge a little. So he'll spread his arms and try to keep in one place while he spins -





man this is harder than he thought it'd be and man it's more dizzy-inducing than he realized.]

Woah--!

[rollypolyclover]

You're going to hurt yourself, Yotsuba will help!

[Sadly, Yotsuba doesn't have access to a step ladder which she can use to quickly get above Luca and hold his hand as he spins. So she does the next best thing... And runs into him instead. Somehow this is meant to help?!]

[subsultive]

[Well, it helps him stop spinning-- since he's thrown off balance and falls on his ass.]

Ow...

[rollypolyclover]

Not good!

[Watch as she exclaims this and then makes no attempt to help Luca up at all.]

Yotsuba was helping, and you stopped, but it still wasn't very good!

[subsultive]

[No that's okay he can get up himself thanks for offering the help, girly, but he's good.]

It's harder when I'm taller than you.

[rollypolyclover]

I'll get taller one day, daddy said so and everything. I'll be taller than...

...You! Really tall?

[subsultive]

I don't think you'll ever get that tall. I'm still growing too, you know.

[rollypolyclover]

So Yotsuba will never catch up?! You might get shorter one day and Yotsuba will zoom on by, whoosh!!

[subsultive]

My father's still pretty tall even though he's old...

[rollypolyclover]

Daddy is really tall. Jumbo is tallerer!

[subsultive]

Just taller, Yostuba. There's no need for an extra -er. [It's teaching her!]

[rollypolyclover]

Daddy is kind of tall. Jumbo is just taller! [*Fixed?]

[subsultive]

[Yes good.] Who's Jumbo?

[rollypolyclover]

[Yostuba.]

You don't know him?!

[subsultive]

N-No! Should I..?
