[It's not a bad day out, Xeha's thinking, as he ambles through the Radiant Garden district with a cup of spiced hot chocolate in his hands and a couple of rolls of wrapping paper under one arm. Hopefully that'll be enough: he went a bit crazy with the present collection, but better safe than sorry!

Suddenly, though, he slips. The chocolate goes flying, melting a nicely scented puddle in a patch of snow. It wasn't that the ground was icy, either...

He stares up, dazed, in no hurry to move. It's like he's walked into a brick wall, and his head's spinning. Disconnected. He knows what he's seeing, but at the same time, it's all wrong... There's no Radiant Garden. But this isn't. He wasn't here before, but he was. But it looks like... but everything's changed.

A whole chunk of memories. A whole slice of a life he'd lived elsewhere. New experiences, new worlds, new sights, new perspectives.

How's that for an early Christmas present?]

((A quick note! Subject lines contain references to the latest Jump Festa trailer; if you're really trying to keep unspoiled for 3D it may be wise to stay clear. If trailers count as spoilers. I don't know. Sorry about that!))

[pfft, that gets a laugh out of her. don't worry, Xeha, talking about Xigbars and Braigs doesn't really get her down anymore.]

At least I'd definitely be able to tell if I got socks that were too big!

[lower-case-x.livejournal.com]

[He grins, but it fades pretty quickly. Must not think about what happened to the intended owner of those socks. Must hope for the best...]

Well, for what it's worth, I tried to find something a bit more interesting?

[skybright]

I just hope what I got you ends up being okay.

[except the mun has no idea what she could get him OOPS.]

[lower-case-x.livejournal.com]

[same here]

I'm sure it'll be great.

[skybright]

Well if you don't like it, don't be afraid to say so. It's not like I can't just go find something else.

[I mean, she'd still put a ton of thought into it! but money's not exactly an issue here and all.]

[lower-case-x.livejournal.com]

You too. But let's wait until we actually give the presents before we start worrying about them, okay?

[skybright]

[she laughs.]

Right, probably a good idea.

[lower-case-x.livejournal.com]

Right.

[His note-taking turns into idle doodling - just loose spirals and the likes.]

[skybright]

Oh, right. D'you want to get a new drink?

[she's considering it herself! they're here, after all, might as well.]

[lower-case-x.livejournal.com]

... Yeah. Think I could use it.

[skybright]

I can get it for you, if you want.

[do they order at the moogle or what. is there a board like a coffee shop, or menus?]

[lower-case-x.livejournal.com]

[Paopubucks, anyone? There'll be somewhere to order. He nods -] Thanks.

[skybright]

I don't suppose you remember what you got? Or should I just get you what looks good?

[lower-case-x.livejournal.com]

Not a clue. [He laughs.] It was chocolate with something in it.

[skybright]

I'll see what I can get you.

[she is just up and down today! time to get drinks for the both of them.]
