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?

Sure, I guess. If you want.

[...wow how does he talk to nice girls

she doesn't seem like the type who'd be impressed by breakdancing...]

[happyends]

[ just going to sit down next to him.. also ayumu why would that be your first thought. ]

Of course I want to. Um.. it may seem a little strange, but I'd like for nobody to have to be lonely on a night like this..

[sundead]

[who even knows but it's canon]

So you're going around cheering up anyone who looks too pathetic, huh...

[happyends]

[ I'm oddly fascinated by this show now.. ]

A-- ah, no, that's not it..! [ cue Madoka quickly waving her hands around since noo please don't think that Ayumu she didn't want to be ruuude.. ] You didn't look pathetic at all, I-I'm sorry!

[sundead]

[yes be one of us jelle...

...anyway, now he's already ruining the conversation. Great.]

I was just joking, don't worry.

[happyends]

[ 'us' would be you and who else..... ]

O.. okay, if you're sure.. [ keep breathing, Madoka. ] I just wanted to make sure I hadn't offended you, since that would be the opposite of what I wanted..

wait how did I lose this...

[sundead]

I'm sure. Don't worry about it.

[Ayumu why are you blushing now??? This is so awkward....]

you secretly never had tag nirvana the past 5 days.

[happyends]

[ wait, why is he blushing, she doesn't get it.. ]

... Are you feeling alright? [ hey, maybe it's a fever!! ]

no it's your fault, madoka used her meduka powers to make the tag vanish...

[sundead]

[...fff...]

Yes! Perfectly fine!

[.......think of something to say to change the subject, Ayumu. Anything.]

So... Do you believe in UFOs?

[That line didn't work the first time you tried it!]

meduka has no special powers, only megucas do!!!

[happyends]

[ madoka is naive enough to just consider it even if it's a weird turn.. ]

UFOs, huh..? ... Well, some people say they've seen them before, and I don't think they would lie about it for no reason, right..?

but meduka, become meguca!

[sundead]

[wow, she's actually going for it....]

Yeah. I mean, a year ago I would have thought that, but now I know there's plenty of stranger things out there.

[maybe he can make this actually relevant.]

but being meguca is suffering...

[happyends]

There really are, aren't there..? [ giggling a little. ] Looking at all the different kinds of people here.. I wouldn't be surprised if at least one person was an alien.

[ not that she didn't see strange stuff before Luceti already to start with. ]

[sundead]

I'm kind of sure most of them are. Anyone not from Earth, anyway...

[happyends]

E-.. eh? Are you saying that the majority of the people here aren't from Earth?

[sundead]

Well, I don't know about majority...

[happyends]

... Maybe someone should ask sometime.. Just to see what kind of places the Malnosso prefer to pull people from, or.. well, something like that.

[sundead]

I guess. It'd be a lot of work, though.

[and he's lazy.]

[happyends]

I think it would be useful for everyone here, though, especially since there's a lot of people who want to go home, so.. maybe we could figure out something more about this place through that.

[sundead]

Yeah, I guess so. I wonder if someone else is keeping track of that stuff already...

[happyends]

Maybe someone who's been here for really long.. and, um.. who's also good with keeping records, maybe?

[sundead]

I don't know that many people who've been here a long time...

[happyends]

Hmm, I'm not very sure either how long the people I know have been here.. Um, since when have you been here?

[sundead]

It was last spring sometime. [he hasn't kept exact track.]

[happyends]

[ what kind of bum is he.. ]

That's longer than me, I think-- wait, I arrived during spring too.. But that was more late spring, and it could have been early spring for you.

[sundead]

I guess some people would say that's a pretty 'long time,' too.
