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?

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?

[rollypolyclover]

[what on earth-- is that like the wheel of fate or the wheel of fortune or what...]

Okay, but you gotta promise when Yotsuba is older. [Nod nod.] Yeah, it was cool. Yotsuba found a really big acorn though, and a bigger big acorn! Acorns are nice. Don't eat them.

[subsultive]

[no it's a metaphor for reincarnation.]

Okay. [...acorns are nice. don't eat them. okay.] I'd never eat them anyway. I'm not a big fan of nuts.

[rollypolyclover]

[ooooh. it should be called the circle of coming back to life instead-- LUCA NOT A FAN OF NUTS? AHA. AHAAAAH. YOU SLAY ME.]

Acorns don't taste good and you're not meant to eat them. Peanuts are better. Or candy. Or those candies with nuts inside!

[subsultive]

[I KNEW YOU WERE GONNA SAY SOMETHING YOU FUCKER]

I like peanut butter, but peanuts by themselves... I don't like them.

[rollypolyclover]

[DEAR ME I'M PREDICTABLE~ WORTH IT.]

But why? Don't you like crunchy stuff?

[subsultive]

[ALWAYS WORTH IT]

I don't mind it, but I really prefer creamier things, like soup.

[rollypolyclover]

[Always AND FOREVUUUR.]

Soup is good, so it's okay, you can like that. Ice cream is creamier than soup though. Cream puffs are creamier too!

[subsultive]

[UNTIL THE END OF TIME.]

Yeah, they are. Do you like cream puffs, Yotsuba?
