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?

...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?

[rollypolyclover]

[YOU'RE MY BEST FRIEND, THROUGH THICK AND THIN.]

Yeah! They're creamy and they get all over your face if you smush them into your mouth and you forget to open it. [Apparently she's forgotten to open her mouth to eat at some point.] Tasty!

[subsultive]

[tbh all i can think of now is pikachu's goodbye i hate you]

They're pretty cute and small too, aren't they? They taste really good with honey on them.

[rollypolyclover]

[That's what I was going for yes good.]

With honey? [Madness.] The stuff from bees that's all sweet and gooey? You can put that on cream puffs?

[subsultive]

[I hate you a lot okok ):]

Uh huh. It tastes really good if you drizzle it on.

[rollypolyclover]

[You don't mean that.]

Where did you get the idea for that, it sounds really good!! Why didn't Yotsuba ever do that, everything is awful and Yotsuba feels bad!

[subsultive]

[Yes I do.]

Don't feel bad. It's just something I picked up from my mother.

[rollypolyclover]

[... O^O]

Did you pick up a lot of stuff from your mom, like how to eat other things with honey and play windmill?

[subsultive]

[...No I don't. 'n']

Does... a love of books and reading count as something I picked up from my mother?
