NEW YEARS EVE FESTIVAL LOG (WOW GUYS, THIS TOTALLY ISN'T LATE OR ANYTHING...)

[asgardmods]

Who: Everyone!
What: New Years Eve! WUTWUT.
When: Err...New Years Eve. Wut...wut? (December 31st, Day 14, etc.)
Where: The Castle Plaza
Rating: Worksafe. If this changes, PLEASE INFORM THE MODS.

[Look down. Now back up! Where are you? You're in the Castle Plaza, with the Gods your Gods could God like.

[Lively, pleasant music hangs in the air around you as fireworks explode in the sky above. There is a tempting aroma teasing at your nostrils. Where is it coming from? Those long tables at the center of the plaza, overflowing with food you love. Craving anything from home? You'll be sure to find it there.

[Look around you. What do you see? Carnival games. Hundreds of Carnival games, including a dunk tank, and all for free! Carnival games not your thing? Why not give the dance floor a try? That music is awfully catchy, and just look at all those stunning lights!

[Enjoy yourselves, travelers. A New Year is upon us.]

[Rikku, that's right. She inclines her head - a bow feels a bit formal in this situation.]

Mako Nakarai, but I go by Nakama. It's nice to meet you properly. [Her blush deepening.] Sorry about our first conversation... I was still a bit in shock about everything.

[metaleyedgirl.livejournal.com]

It's fine. We were all kinda dazed and stuff. Who wouldn't be?

[agoodfamily.livejournal.com]

Yeah... those were a weird few days. It's even weirder how normal some of it feels now, though.

[But she doesn't want to bring this conversation down, too, not when Rikku's stopped dancing just to talk to her.]

Um - you're a really good dancer.

[metaleyedgirl.livejournal.com]

Really? [Rikku giggles] Thanks! Who knew avoiding angry fiends would be so useful? What about you, can you dance?

[agoodfamily.livejournal.com]

Oh, no, I don't think so. [A bit of a blush, and said more seriously than is probably necessary.] I haven't danced very much.

[Wait.]

... angry fiends?

[metaleyedgirl.livejournal.com]

Fiends! Monsters! Ugly nasty critters that attack people. [A pause] Well, flans just look edible, but they still attack people.

[agoodfamily.livejournal.com]

Oh - there weren't really any monsters where I came from. There were some animals that could be vicious, but none that really attacked you no matter what.

[Then she realizes that all of that was in past tense, and she's promised herself that she'll drop that habit. Even if Rikku already knows, other people won't, and it's not something everyone needs to find out. Besdies, it is a lot like giving up hope.]

Where I come from, I mean.

Lucky. It's not safe to travel without a weapon and maybe some friends, if you're gonna walk all over Spira. If you fly, you're pretty good, though.

That sounds like Alternia. Have you talked to any of the trolls here?
