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?

Don't apologize! I should have been paying more attention to my surroundings... [ He looks up as if to say "I was too focused on looking at the sky"... but then he notices the trails and looks around more. Is there another one of those strange birds close-by? ]

[folklorist]

[ There are several things in the sky tonight, fireworks being one of them, and of course a light conjured phoenix or two leaving trails about them. But one of them is close by and Helios ducks his head just a little and laughs. ]

I-I can see why you would be! The f-fireworks are lovely tonight aren't they?!

[flockingjustice]

They are! I wasn't expecting something like this... [ Once again he looks around, his eyes following a phoenix once again. ] Though, I have to admit that's not what has my attention right now.

[folklorist]

Ah it's not? [ Helios asks curiously looking around before laughing sheepishly. ] I-I'm not distracting you, am I? I apologize if I am!

[ He could be looking for someone, or something. Helios isn't sure though! There are lots of things to distract when it comes to something as grandiose as this after all. ]

[flockingjustice]

No, no, you're not distracting me! I just-- [ ... how does he phrase this. ] This is going to sound a little odd, but I saw a bird. I'm a bird specialist, so it caught my eye. My apologies.

[folklorist]

Odd? Not at all. There's a certain inherent beauty when it comes to such animals. [ Helios pauses smirking slightly. He has a good idea what you're talking about. ] Oh really? Did it happen to look like that?

[ He'll point to the swooping and twirling Phoenix behind Falkner with a smile. ]

[flockingjustice]

Ah-- [ He looks over his shoulder quickly, his expression brightening upon seeing the phoenix. ] Yes, that's the bird I'm talking about! I've never seen anything quite like it before. [ aaaah it's so close aaaaaaaah ]

[folklorist]

It's a phoenix! A mythical bird from legends and myths in my own world. [ It'll swoop down and Helios will hold up his hand the phoenix circling once, twice, and then landing a few feet away. It's an ever flowing river of orange, red, and yellow light. Almost like a self contained fire moving across its skin the details aren't apparent but the form and natural shape are and Helios smiles. ]

They're very beautiful in person...even more so than this one. I-I'm afraid I haven't really captured its beauty to be honest. [ he shrugs. ] But people seem to be enjoying them well enough.

It's quite beautiful regardless! Its plumage is so vibrantly--

[flockingjustice]

[ -- wait a second. The phrasing of the sentence seems... odd. ] Did you conjure up the phoenix?

[folklorist]

[ Helios blinks and then nods with a warm smile. ] Yes actually! A light magic spell.

[flockingjustice]

That's... [ Falkner can't help but smile a little as well. omg omg omg that's so cool ] That's quite impressive! It's the first time I've ever seen anything like this.
