Out with the old....

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?

[Ginia's seen a lot of firework displays over the years. Davenport had one ever year that rivaled some of the displays in the big cities, but she's been all around the world.

This? This is easily the best one she's seen. She can't help laughing and applauding at the display in the sky.]
folklorist: (That's wonderful!)

[personal profile] folklorist 2012-01-01 08:53 pm (UTC)(link)
[ The applauds and laughing get the headmaster's attention as he turns to find Ginia there. He smiles as a burst of light erupts from his palm, banks down to almost the floor, and finds it way to circling around Ginia up back into the night sky. ]

Happy new year Ginia!
shadedsunlight: (Smile like you mean it)

[personal profile] shadedsunlight 2012-01-02 12:41 am (UTC)(link)
[Ginis laughs as the light dances around her, following its moves up to the sky. She beams at Helios.]

Happy new year, Helios! This is amazing!
folklorist: (I'm just your average headmaster yep)

[personal profile] folklorist 2012-01-02 03:19 am (UTC)(link)
Happy New Year to you as well! [ Helios has a big derpy smile on his own face. He is enjoying this quite a lot, and it shows. It's been awhile since he's celebrated with friends. Albeit...someone is missing, Frederic. ]

I'm glad that everyone is enjoying themselves.
shadedsunlight: (That woman she's got eyes that shine)

[personal profile] shadedsunlight 2012-01-02 07:35 am (UTC)(link)
I am too. It's such a wonderful way to end and begin a year, don't you think?
folklorist: (Do go on I'm listening)

[personal profile] folklorist 2012-01-03 01:21 am (UTC)(link)
It...it is. [ Though his smile does falter just a bit. The whole thing with Giles acting this way towards him and he only just figuring out why earlier today. Well it's been...an interesting start to the new year to be sure. ]

The ball dropping is usually how they celebrated in America isn't it? Have you ever been to Time Square and seen it before?
shadedsunlight: (Smile like you mean it)

[personal profile] shadedsunlight 2012-01-03 01:25 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, that was one of the most iconic ways. And a few times. I was eight the first time, our family took a trip up to New York City. Freezing out there, but worth it. Seen it a few other times, but the first time is always the most memorable. [And it was with her family. There lay all the difference.]
folklorist: (I suppose that works)

[personal profile] folklorist 2012-01-03 06:02 am (UTC)(link)
It sounds as if it would be something spectacular to see in person. I-I've never been but I hope one day, maybe, that I might be able to. I was...thinking about it once, going there and enjoying the evening but- [ that was something he wanted to do with Elise. Things happen and the dream died along with several others. Helios still is smiling as he looks back up at the night sky. ]

This probably doesn't compare to New York though.
shadedsunlight: (Looking back at sunsets on the eastside)

[personal profile] shadedsunlight 2012-01-03 06:17 am (UTC)(link)
Please. This beats out New York a hundred times over. Less crowded too, and you don't have all the buildings and everything in the way. [Ginia gazes at the sky and gives a happy sigh.]

Though Sydney puts on a beautiful show.
folklorist: (Did I hear you correctly?)

[personal profile] folklorist 2012-01-03 08:04 pm (UTC)(link)
I suppose you're right! Less crowded and certainly a better view than if back home. I-I've never been to the one in Sydney either.

[ Helios ponders for a moment. ] I've only seen small portions of it on the, um, television. [ Which he had no hand in. ]
shadedsunlight: (Smile like you mean it)

[personal profile] shadedsunlight 2012-01-03 09:48 pm (UTC)(link)
It's a beautiful display. Lights up the sky and seems to go on forever. A sight to see. And lots of boozing and revelry too.
folklorist: (I suppose that works)

[personal profile] folklorist 2012-01-03 10:27 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Helios chuckles. Boozing indeed. ] Never was particularly fond of, well, booze as you put it. I guess times of celebration do call for it though, don't they?
shadedsunlight: (When it shines like gold)

[personal profile] shadedsunlight 2012-01-04 04:25 am (UTC)(link)
Perhaps. Pairing intoxicating substances and explosives together for a celebration does seem to be quite the common thing. Keeps it all fun.
folklorist: (Er. Um. Don't kill me please)

[personal profile] folklorist 2012-01-04 06:10 am (UTC)(link)
Ah y-yes that's true. I'm not sure how those both became so common, really. But um lets hope nothing happens with said explosives aside from a very good show, hm?
shadedsunlight: (Life is way too short  to be unhappy)

[personal profile] shadedsunlight 2012-01-05 07:10 am (UTC)(link)
Two things fun apart, so why not put them together? [She shrugs.] I agree. Thank you again for helping out.
folklorist: (Peaceful: You wanted to talk?)

[personal profile] folklorist 2012-01-07 05:45 am (UTC)(link)
Oh it's no trouble at all Ginia! I actually quite like doing all of this! The reward is seeing everyone enjoying themselves after all.
shadedsunlight: (That woman she's got eyes that shine)

[personal profile] shadedsunlight 2012-01-09 03:03 am (UTC)(link)
Then well rewarded you are tonight. [Her smile softens.] Here's to a good year.
folklorist: (Ever so curious)

[personal profile] folklorist 2012-01-09 04:14 am (UTC)(link)
Do you have any resolutions? I-I know some people are rather strict when it comes to following them...

[ As for him? He might have one or two. ]
shadedsunlight: (pic#1616629)

[personal profile] shadedsunlight 2012-01-09 04:15 am (UTC)(link)
Resolutions... [Ginia hums softly, head tilting up.] Honestly, I haven't put too much thought into it. Shame on me, I know. But... I think enjoying life and laughing a little more is a good starting place. [Maybe moving on from things and beginning to heal a little more.]

How about you?
folklorist: (Do go on I'm listening)

[personal profile] folklorist 2012-01-09 10:53 pm (UTC)(link)
I like the way you think. [ Helios gives her a wide smile. ] What better way to start off the new year than simply...enjoying it and the people you're around to enjoy it with?

[ Helios pauses though for a moment to think. ] I-I'm not sure, really. I-I know there are things I...I can certainly improve on. But, well, I haven't exactly given it much thought either. [ A laugh. ] Shame on both of us.
shadedsunlight: (pic#1683961)

[personal profile] shadedsunlight 2012-01-09 11:32 pm (UTC)(link)
No better way, I say. And shame on us indeed. [She laughs lightly.] I've never been much of a resolution person, though I always have a long-standing goal of learning at least five new recipes or skills a year.
folklorist: (You make a good point)

[personal profile] folklorist 2012-01-11 02:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Five new recipes or skills a year... [ Helios thinks on that for a moment before smiling. ] That's actually a wonderful idea. It certainly opens you up to newer better things at least! You'll experience so much more too.
shadedsunlight: (pic#1683960)

[personal profile] shadedsunlight 2012-01-12 12:35 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe this will be a good year to learn some English and Romanisn cuisine.
folklorist: (Peaceful: You wanted to talk?)

[personal profile] folklorist 2012-01-12 07:43 am (UTC)(link)
I certainly won't say no to that! I could help you with some of the recipes if you'd like. [ Helios is just sporting the derpiest of smiles right now. Delicious Romanian cuisine how nice it will be to have someone else be able to cook you with him! ]

We should offer up cooking classes. I've always wondered why they haven't been given. With so many wonderful chefs around and all!
shadedsunlight: (My heart is like an open highway)

[personal profile] shadedsunlight 2012-01-12 07:45 am (UTC)(link)
I certainly won't turn down your help. [The more to cook with the merrier! And with matching aprons and all.]</small. I know there are cooking lessons at Seventh Heaven every Sunday and I teach Link how to cook Monday mornings, but you're right, it's surprising there aren't more classes around. I certainly wouldn't mind teaching more people.
