[dated to Sunday morning! because most of this stuff wouldn't be happening at night. it's an overcast morning, and chilly enough that there could be snow if those clouds get any heavier!

prince_number_7 is heading home with a small bag, having gone out to grab a few things quickly. the bag contains a few things from what looks like a hair salon.

shellsandlight is seated in the park, looking a bit underdressed considering the temperature. he doesn't seem very bothered by the cold (living at the bottom of an ocean means having to deal with it, after all), and is currently enjoying a variety of candies that are likely to make him end up sick, more from the rate at which he is consuming them than for their contents.

fadedsketch is having a bit of difficulty pushing a fair-sized "portable" generator down the street. he's heading for his naga friend's den, wanting to give him something to power the electric heaters he's going to be bringing by as well at a slightly later date. he's already brought no doubt dozens of blankets by now.

paopuspirit is stringing tinsel garlands around the old paopu tree near the beach. it's already had some lights strung around it, all the way up to the leaves. how he managed to get it up so neatly is a mystery however.

cheeryskies has just entered the library, a bag slung over her shoulder. she seems set for a day indoors, just reading!

beforeitburned has found his way to an outdoor ice rink that he's never noticed before. there are cubbies full of skates of every size near it, and he's given into a sudden, overwhelming urge to try skating.

he's not doing very well.]

I thought it was an interesting experience. You had fun at the time.

[She would try to fall on him!!]

Only because I was diseased.

You got better.

[It was hilarious, shut up.]

Maybe I'll infect you if it happens again.

Infect me with what, Christmas?

[lol right.]

Exactly. Turn you into a fucking elf or something.

I don't think you had that ability last year.

Maybe it's a Christmas flavoured sexually transmitted disease.

[Grumble grumble. HE'D FIND A WAY, WOMAN.]

If that's how you think it spreads, then you're free to try.

[Sounds like fun to her!]

[As if.]

No, then you'd be the only one I could infect. That wouldn't be very interesting.

[There's a brief frown on her face - just a flicker. It disappears quicker than it stayed, and she tilts her head up haughtily.]

Gee, thanks.

You're welcome.

[He caught that frown, though he's not asking about it. He has no reason to and all that.]

[Psh, she wouldn't answer anyway.]

... Have you ever skated before?

Not that I can recall.

[Which would explain how horrible he is at it!]

[She nods.]

I figured.

[And she means that in the nicest way possible.]

I tried once last year.

Did it go well?

[He's guessing not so much.]

I'm from an island.

[No. It did not.]

[He'll just be snickering, thanks.]

Then why are you out here again?

[Riku you look positively pissy.]

Why are you?

Random compulsion that returns every time I get to the edge of the ice.

Sounds right.

[Maybe it's the same for her! Maybe it's not. Who knows, she's not saying.]

[Maybe they should use each other as balance and learn to skate that way.]

Would be nice to get off the ice, but if the DR isn't going to let me, at least I've got someone else suffering with me.

[She is still holding on to him...]

Misery loves company, right? I'm hurt.

[He's going to make them move a bit then.]

I don't see why. I wouldn't want someone else's company while I'm suffering.

[She will slip and her grip will tighten!]

Then I'm honored.
