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?
lostinmyway: (Oh my isn't this lovely?)

[And Grune smiles right back.]

Oh, thank you very much! That's very kind of you to say.

[personal profile] ever_deceptive 2012-01-03 08:01 pm (UTC)(link)
You're welcome. You know, I believe I've seen you around town before, but I don't think we've ever met. I'm Yeager. And you're..?
lostinmyway: (Oh my isn't this lovely?)

[personal profile] lostinmyway 2012-01-04 05:31 am (UTC)(link)
I'm Grune! [Big smile!] It's very nice to meet you, Yeager.

[personal profile] ever_deceptive 2012-01-04 10:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Nice to meet you. How long have you been in Luceti?
lostinmyway: (Hmm I wonder....)

[personal profile] lostinmyway 2012-01-05 03:41 am (UTC)(link)
[This is a surprisingly difficult question.]

Hmm.... I wonder.

[personal profile] ever_deceptive 2012-01-10 10:53 pm (UTC)(link)
I imagine it must be a long time, then? I feel for you. It has been not even a year for me, and there's quite a few things back home I already miss dearly.
lostinmyway: (Stillness.)

Oh, are there? [She gives him a sympathetic look.]

[He nods.] I have a thriving business and two adopted daughters there. I suppose my daughters may arrive here at some point, but you know how it is. I can't say I particularly want them to be at the mercy of the Malnosso, even if I will be staying here for years.

[Ah, but enough with the depressing talk.] At least there are so many interesting people here, from so many interesting places. I do enjoy that~
lostinmyway: (Tender.)

[personal profile] lostinmyway 2012-01-11 03:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes, and everyone here is so friendly. [And her sympathetic look turns into a warm smile.] If your daughters came here, I know they'd make lots of friends.

[personal profile] ever_deceptive 2012-01-13 01:01 am (UTC)(link)
[Mm, that's a lovely smile, too.] Probably. There are a lot of girls around their age.

I have noticed that Malnosso must be fond of younger people. There's a rather disproportionate number of teenagers and twentysomethings here. I wonder why that is.
lostinmyway: (Hmm I wonder....)

[personal profile] lostinmyway 2012-01-13 03:30 am (UTC)(link)
[Grune hasn't exactly noticed, but that's nothing new.]

Oh, I don't know. Do you think we could ask them?

[personal profile] ever_deceptive 2012-01-14 07:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Maybe through the journals. I don't know whether they would respond. [Heck, there's a lot he'd like to ask them. He'll probably try contacting them soon enough.]

It is always nice to see individuals here that are a little older, a little...more mature, I suppose. [And he's smiling at her again. Oh, yeah, the fact that she looks like a busty thirty-year-old has nothing to do with why he approached her. Noooope.]
lostinmyway: (Oh my isn't this lovely?)

[personal profile] lostinmyway 2012-01-15 04:05 am (UTC)(link)
[She smiles back happily. Yeager is very cheerful! She's certain they're going to be wonderful friends. ]

Yes, it's good to be able to make friends with all sorts of people!

[personal profile] ever_deceptive 2012-01-15 04:26 am (UTC)(link)
[Hmm. She seems a little oblivious. Well, he's as of yet undeterred.]

I agree. So, were you planning on staying here for a while? I could go get you something, if you'd like.

[Can't exactly pull the classic 'can I buy you a drink'-type line in Luceti, but that's good enough.]
lostinmyway: (Oh my isn't this lovely?)

[personal profile] lostinmyway 2012-01-15 02:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, that would be very kind of you. Thank you!

[She gives him an even bigger smile.]

[personal profile] ever_deceptive 2012-01-15 07:55 pm (UTC)(link)
What would you like? [Matching that smile with a very cheerful one of his own, yep.]
lostinmyway: (Hmm I wonder....)

[personal profile] lostinmyway 2012-01-15 08:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Hmm, I don't know. Everything looks very good.

[personal profile] ever_deceptive 2012-01-15 10:08 pm (UTC)(link)
[Somehow, he was expecting that answer.] How about a drink? A lot of the cocktails here are nice.

[Those being what he's been downing pretty much all night, between here and Good Spirits.]
lostinmyway: (Sunlit happiness.)

[personal profile] lostinmyway 2012-01-15 10:14 pm (UTC)(link)
That sounds like a nice drink. Thank you very much!

[How obvious is it she has no idea what's involved in a cocktail?]

[personal profile] ever_deceptive 2012-01-15 10:35 pm (UTC)(link)
[SO OBVIOUS. And for a brief moment Yeager's tempted to troll and get her something really strong just to see how she reacts. But he decides to be nice and simply gets her a very fruity piƱa colada instead.]

Here you go. [He'll be watching her face all the same, sipping the fuzzy navel he picked up for himself.]
lostinmyway: (Oh my isn't this lovely?)

[personal profile] lostinmyway 2012-01-16 03:41 am (UTC)(link)
[Just try to get her drunk, Yeager. I dare you.

She accepts the drink quite happily.]
Thank you, Yeager! This looks like a very interesting drink.

[To test it out, she takes a sip. ...Which is more like a mouthful. That she swallows down like water. Um.]
