[Not really a tune you associate with ice picks, jigs, dremels and hand saws, right? Relax, Christmas is one of Rikka's favorite times of year. In fact, he's very pleased to have found in one of the more popular "forests" a twenty-one foot vertical slab of ice to practice carving into a tree. He's dressed plenty warm in a (you-guessed-it) black sweater and hot pink pants, though his cheeks, nose and ears are bright pink from the twinkling frost nipping at his skin, and even has the company of some very random Christmas tunes and of course, an assortment of adorable forest animals. The sparkling shards of ice and slush are melting into his silver hair and crunching under his sneakers, but he doesn't seem to notice. The tree he's carving is... lacking for sure, but it's starting to have branches here and there. He's trying, okay ;; It's a performance piece. He might even have some hot coffee or chocolate nearby.]

I would say this world is officialy insane.

[Rikka is definatly adorable, yes.]

[maverick-blades.livejournal.com]

Why?

*he looks a little confused, tipping his head to the side*

[ticklemeelfo.livejournal.com]

Something tells me it's all perfectly normal for you. But to me it seems that it throws all common sense right out the window...

[maverick-blades.livejournal.com]

What, my parents?

[ticklemeelfo.livejournal.com]

No. [She shakes her head--sorry, she was thinking about everything she's seen thus far as a whole.] The world itself. Everything in it. I would have never believed it if I weren't seeing it for myself.

I was born here. It doesn't really bother me. It was really scary though, when I was little. Mom talks about how he wishes we lived somewhere safer.

So you must be new, huh?

[ticklemeelfo.livejournal.com]

Fairly new, yes. I guess if you lived here your whole life it makes sense why you don't view it as strange.

[maverick-blades.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I have. But... I'm from the future, too. So I've seen even more. My mom here still has the three year old version of me, and my little sister and brothers.

[ticklemeelfo.livejournal.com]

[The future? She's not going to ask how that works.] Sounds like a large family...

[maverick-blades.livejournal.com]

Yup. Too many, if you ask me.

*he wishes he were an only child sometimes ;; those were the good old days*

[ticklemeelfo.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't know. I'm an only child. My family is tiny.

[At least her blood relatives. She considers some of her friends an extention of her family though.]

[maverick-blades.livejournal.com]

Lucky.

*smirks*

Any of 'em here?

[ticklemeelfo.livejournal.com]

If so, I haven't seen them. But it seems to be a big place so who knows?

[maverick-blades.livejournal.com]

It really is. My sister is here, but my baby brothers aren't.
