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?

I know I'm not.

[But, come to think of it, what's it like where Dataku's from? So many questions.]

[encryptedpages]

Definitely not. Just a small chain of islands with a village on the main island.

[...at least the person his appearance was based on Was. He still came from the memory-data version, though. All them questions might be answered if you asked, man.]

[emp3thy]

That doesn't sound bad.

[risingwinds]

Islands?

[Hey, wait. That sounds...]

Wait a sec! That sounds like Sora's world!

[encryptedpages]

[He nods faintly.]

...It does, doesn't it. [And yet he can't quite meet either one's eye.]

[emp3thy]

[He doesn't really know what's going on with this topic, so he'll stay quiet and listen.]

[risingwinds]

[Hmm... well, he does look a lot like Riku and Kohan.]

So you're from the same world?

[Gosh, this is getting confusing.]

[encryptedpages]

I suppose you could say an alternate of their world.

[He's sorry, but he doesn't want to outright say that he's essentially from a computer-imported journal in front of someone he just met.]

[emp3thy]

[looking from Ven to 'Kiroku']

So you two met here?

[risingwinds]

[He nods.]

Sure did! I met him on Christmas. He was all alone, so I figured he could use a place to stay.

[And then Ven took him home. Yep.]

[encryptedpages]

[He nods. Taken home like he was a stray puppy. Yep.]

Apparently he just keeps attracting loners.

[emp3thy]

That's nice of him.

[risingwinds]

[Oh, you guys. Way to put him in the spotlight!]

Well, I couldn't leave him out there.

[encryptedpages]

[Mission complete, I mean-]

...Thanks again.

[emp3thy]

So how have you been, Ven-kun?

[risingwinds]

Pretty good! Just been trying to get by without Terra around.

[He looks a little sheepish there. He's not sad about Terra's departure now, but it's tough being the ~mature adult~ in the house.]

[encryptedpages]

[He takes note of that. Terra... hm. Maybe Dataku should ask about him later, when it's more appropriate.

And maybe it wouldn't be so hard if you didn't keep taking in stray doppelgangers. Just saying. :T]

[emp3thy]

One of your friends?

[risingwinds]

[He nods, bringing a hand to his chest.]

One of my best friends! I've known him for as long as I can remember.
