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?

[Daisy enters after Grune, lowering her head before crossing through a door too small for the giant.

Once inside, she sits on the nearest sofa, and sighs. She can still hear the fireworks outside -with her senses, it would be hard not to-, but it's better than hearing them outside.]

I'm sorry for this, ma'am.

[lostinmyway]

[Grune immediately joins her.]

Oh, that's all right. I don't mind.

[daisy023]

[She looks up at Grune, nodding.]

Thank you, Grune. [One year, and she is still amazed by the kindness of the people here.] Do you have tea, ma'am? ... Or chocolate?

[There's also the chance of looking at the fireworks through the windows...]

[lostinmyway]

Hmm. Let's see....

[She starts wandering around in probably the least efficient search pattern Daisy has ever seen.]

[daisy023]

[And Daisy keeps looking for a long instant thinking that Grune may know.

... After she realizes she's visited this place less times but knows the routes to get things more, she stands up -- to get the higher parts instead of Grune.]

May I help you, ma'am?

[lostinmyway]

[She looks up from...examining the wall.]

Oh, thank you. That would be very nice.

[daisy023]

[This is one of the upsides of being the tallest human in Luceti. No stand is out of reach for her, so she grabs tea and a few cups rather quickly to set them on the table.

Daisy is not a tea connoseur, but she's picking a little more sugar than usual.]

[lostinmyway]

[Fortunately, Grune does actually know how to make tea, and so when she realizes Daisy has found some, she starts doing just that.]

[daisy023]

[Daisy looks a little surprised as she sees Grune making the tea. The Chief herself has limited experience with making it, so she watches.

When it comes to her cup, though, she offers quite a bit of sugar. With something of an embarassed look. She likes sweets.]

[lostinmyway]

[Grune doesn't remotely notice the extra sugar or Daisy's embarrassed look. Once she's finished making the tea, she picks up her own cup, blows on it a little, then takes a tiny sip.]

There. That's very nice.

[daisy023]

[Once done, Daisy picks her own cup and sits near Grune. She picks her own cup for a taste--

She blinks. She sips again.]

This tastes great.

[She looks upwards towards the window. It's hard for someone with her senses not to hear the fireworks, even inside the tea shop. But this way... it's easier. It's better.]

[lostinmyway]

[Grune leans up against Daisy a little, but not too much--she doesn't want to spill her tea, after all.

At Daisy's words, she smiles.]

I'm glad you like it. Tea is very good, isn't it?

[Thank you, Giles.]

[daisy023]

[She gasps a little when Grune leans on her. Not that she'd make Daisy lose her balance, even if the silver-haired woman is only a foot shorter than the girl she is helping. However, she had grown to appreciate company.]

Yeah... I have more of a taste for sweets. But I like it. You make it well.

[lostinmyway]

Thank you. [She smiles.] Giles is a very good teacher.

[daisy023]

Giles. [She recalls the name.] I'm going to ask him to teach me it someday.

[lostinmyway]

I'm sure he'd be happy to. He's a very kind person.
