[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.]

Your... name... is Canada...?

[Another nervous laugh.]

I know it may seem odd to some but, yes that is my name.

I'm...not really sure of how to explain this.

....sorry

[When she realizes how uncomfortable she's made him, she rushes to be of some comfort.]

No, no, you don't have to apologise! We've probably all got things that sound weird to other people here. Canada isn't a bad name.

[maplesandmoose.livejournal.com]

Oh, why thank you.

Nakama is a rather pretty name too.

[He can feel his cheeks reddening a little.]

[agoodfamily.livejournal.com]

[And now she's blushing.]

Oh, it's - just a nickname. My full name's Nakarai Mako, so you just take Naka- and -ma and stick them together. A lot of Japanese nicknames are made that way.

[maplesandmoose.livejournal.com]

A nickname, eh? I see then. [He smiles a little.]

How interesting.

[agoodfamily.livejournal.com]

[Interesting? Really? Well, she can talk more about it, then!]

It makes a real word, though. Nakama means... like, your closest friends and allies. People who are almost like a second family to you.

[maplesandmoose.livejournal.com]

Allies? A second family? Oh.

[Canada takes a moment to think about his own 'family'.]

Those are nice things to have. Do you have anyone you consider that close?

[He really hopes that the question doesn't upset her at all.]

[agoodfamily.livejournal.com]

[Unfortunately, it's a very sensitive question for her. The pilots are complicated - most of them didn't like her much, but she treasured them. She also barely got to know them before her death, so are they really nakama?]

Maybe not that close, but that important. Does that make sense?
