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?

[ THEY COULD SWITCH PERSONALITIES?? ]

You wouldn't mind coming along, Aoba-kun? ... Are you sure?

[penetrated]

[ NO STOP THINKING HIDEOUS THINGS!!! ]

Of course! Both Kotomi-chan and Furukawa-san are my friends, after all.

[etudes]

[ NOPE IT'S HAPPENING. ]

Then it might be nice.. I'm sure Nagisa-chan would be very happy to see Aoba-kun too, especially since she can't go out often.

[penetrated]

[ DON'T MAKE ME THROW YOU OFF A CLIFF. ]

Yeah... I'm sure seeing the pair of us will make her really happy!

[etudes]

[ WHY DO YOU FIND THIS SUCH A BAD IDEA. ]

Then we should do it. [ nod, still blank expression forever.. ] ... Ah, but if we go inside, we won't be able to see the firework.. huh.

[penetrated]

[ BECAUSE IT'S HIDEOUS?

also it's fireworks gosh ]

Mm... we could always see it from a window, right? That way, Furukawa-san could see it too!

[etudes]

[ oh my god stop correcting my typos or I'll end you!! ]

Do you think Nagisa-chan wouldn't mind? It's different from behind a window, after all.

[penetrated]

[ how about you stop making typos and I'll stop correcting them!! ]

Eh... maybe we could bring her out? On something like a wheelchair, maybe.

[etudes]

[ I'M TYPING IN MY SECOND LANGUAGE and with my kind of brain how could I not make typos!! ]

I hadn't seen a wheelchair in Luceti before.. do they have those here?

[penetrated]

[ by taking your brain out and throwing it at the keyboard. ]

Huh... the Clinic must have one, right?

Suddenly, this feels like a fetch quest...

[etudes]

[ but I.. need that.. to type.. ]

... Are we knights now, Aoba-kun?

[penetrated]

[ I don't believe you. ]

... I don't think I'm really suited for that class.

[etudes]

[ what else do you think I use to think. ]

Why not? I could imagine Aoba-kun already as a splendid knight, out on a quest.. [ off into kotomi la-la-la land. ]

[penetrated]

[ you think? ]

You think so? ... Would I have some cool-looking armour? [ this is all that matters. oh, and a cool sword. ]

[etudes]

[ occasionally!! ]

Of course. I'm sure that if Aoba-kun would be a knight, he would be one of the strongest knights of all.

[penetrated]

[ I don't believe it!! ]

R-really? Kotomi-chan, I think you're praising me too much...!

[etudes]

[ want to watch me try?? ]

... Really? [ blink blink SHE'S JUST SAYING WHAT SHE THINKS, OKAY.. ] Aoba-kun, don't you think you'd make a splendid knight?

[penetrated]

[ only if you fail.

by which I mean yes. ]

I... don't usually think about what being a knight would be like, to be honest!

[etudes]

[ do you want to see me suffer that badl-- ... why do I even have to ask that. ]

You don't fantasize about it once in a while, Aoba-kun? I think it is very, very nice to read a book and just let yourself dream off a little about it..

[penetrated]

[ ah, you're beginning to understand how this works. ]

Well, yes... but, I'm not cut out for being a hero or anything, even if I imagine it...

[etudes]

[ i understood this the moment i met you, practically. ]

... Why wouldn't Aoba-kun be cut out to be a hero?

[penetrated]

[ it goes for most people you know, really. ]

I'm not really cool enough, right? I mean, I'm not exactly strong or anything!

[etudes]

[ ... wait, do you mean that you want to see most people I know suffer or do most people I know want to see me suffer.. ]

Aoba-kun, it's time for you to show me your strength. [ go. :| ]

[penetrated]

[ . . . both, actually! ]

R-right! [ fistpump/blush/sparkly eyes uguuuuuu ] Let's set out on our quest to show the fireworks to Furukawa-san!

[etudes]

[ I'm not sure if that's better than the answer I expected.. ]

Let's do our very best. [ holding up her fists/completely blank expression AW YES and off they go. ]
