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?

[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..?

[rollypolyclover]

No. He's back home and he's really friendly... But really bad at hide and seek.

[subsultive]

If he's really tall, like you say, then I'm not surprised he'd be bad at hide and seek... Tell me more.

[Luca likes learning about other worlds.]

[rollypolyclover]

Okay! He has a flower shop, and Yotsuba and Fuuka went once and got all these flowers from him. Then Yotsuba was flower cupid for the day!

Then Jumbo took us to Venus!! And NASA!![...] We went stargazing in a field.

[subsultive]

...Venus? NASA?

[rollypolyclover]

[This is something Yotsuba actually knows a little about! ...Well sort of, she mostly remembers the night for the ramen and the time with friends, buuut:]

Venus is a planet, and it's up in the sky with all these constellation things, like cygnus! And NASA... Stands for something! Something something SPACE something?

[subsultive]

On, I see. Space, huh... I can't even imagine going all the way up there. The highest I've been is to Heaven.

[THAT ISN'T AS BAD AS IT SOUNDS HONEST. And technically it was a piece of heaven left over from the Fall. But, ah, details details.]

[rollypolyclover]

Oh. [...] Didja die?

[subsultive]

[...] Would I be here if I did?

[rollypolyclover]

...Maybe.

[Someone told her a grandad came back from heaven once! So maybe it is!]

[subsultive]

[That's not how



dying


works!!!]

...No, I didn't. It was just a piece of Heaven that was left after the Fall, and we travelled there to see if we could find something very important.

[rollypolyclover]

[sure it is! 8D]

You went to a piece of heaven after autumn? Yotsuba just plays with acorns in the fall, and we collect lots and lots and keep them in jars! Daddy found a double acorn once... It was very important.

[subsultive]

[no!! if you die you're dead forever!




unless you're in devaloka before the Fall and then idk you get reborn because of the Wheel of Rebirth and yeah]

No, after the-- ...It's difficult to explain. I'll tell you when you're older. [...acorns...] A double acorn, huh?
