WHAT TO DO...

1. comment!!
2. when someone comments to you OR when you reply to them go to the RNG! roll 1-20!
3. match the number with the option below
4. shenanigans!

1 - Snowmageddon - you are snowed in thanks to a freak blizzard. no power, no heat… fuck. now what?
2 - Deck the Halls - nothing is more depressing than a tree/abode/cat/sleeping roommate/insert something else here that isn't covered in Christmas decorations. so whatever it is, decorate that shit!
3 - Night Before - whatever you do on Christmas Eve night? you're doing that now, i guess.
4 - The Good Kind of Snowmageddon - so there's TONS OF SNOW but you aren't snowed in! yay! it's time for fun time in the snow. ice skating, snowman building, snowball fights, sledding, you name it!
5 - Last Minute Gift - good job waiting until the last minute. fight those mall crowds with your trusty stick and keep your fingers crossed that you'll get your hands on anything decent for that special someone.
6 - Mistletoe - NOW KISS. or else you'll never know freedom ever again.
7 - Too Much Eggnog - insert character name here, you are drunk. and you want everyone to know it.
8 - Fancy Pants - you're at a high society Christmas party for some reason, dressed up all pretty and strutin' your style. swag. careful, the punch is spiked. probably.
9 - Fa-La-La-La-La - somehow you've been forced into going Christmas caroling. just hope that no one who opens there door has a shotgun ready.
10 - Cookies - you are making delicious Christmas cookies! or not so delicious Christmas cookies, depending on your ability to bake.
11 - Gift Exchange - time to give that special someone you hate/love the gift you got them.
12 - Silver Bells - dashing through the snoooow in a one horse open slleeiiigggh~
13 - Bah Humbug! - fuck Christmas and everyone who likes it, because suddenly you HATE it! and no one can convince you otherwise! well… maybe.
14 - Kiss Me Under The Mistletoe - Usually there's a choice when it comes to mistletoe, but not this time. Any two people caught under a sprig will find themselves compelled to lock lips with the other. Who will be the lucky one? Is it good luck or bad?
15 - Snowman Apocalypse! - Okay, not really, but there seem to be a lot of snowmen coming to life lately, and all of them throw snowballs. Some hit with these will find it impossible to stay warm short of the body heat of another, while others will find it's their disposition that has frosted over. Then again, maybe it really is a snowman apocalypse...
16 - Mug o' Warmth - Free cocoa and cider? Yes, please, it's freezing outside! One drink will warm the body, but also the heart. It's a good feeling, isn't it? Aren't you glad you decided to have some?
17 - Cookies From Santa - Isn't Santa usually the one eating the cookies? Not this time. There are Santas everywhere, passing out treats. Eat one and you may find yourself in a giving mood as well! Or maybe you'll have the urge to do some baking of your own.
18 - The Best Way To Spread Christmas Cheer Is Singing Loud For All To Hear - You heard someone singing carols on the street, or maybe it was just on the radio. You started to sing along. Now you can't stop, or even lower your volume. Maybe it's not such a problem. Maybe it gets you in the spirit. If not, you'd better hope someone starts to sing along with you and helps you finish the song or you might go on like this forever.
19 - Let It Snow - Well, you won't be going anywhere for a while. The snow is so high you can't see out the windows, at least on the first floor. As you and whoever you're stuck with gather around the fire, you both have the irresistible urge to get emotionally intimate. Maybe you want to share when you stopped believing in Santa, or how you are so very Charlie Brown around this time of year. Whatever it is, it probably has something to do with the season. Alternately, you tried to get away from the snow by going somewhere warmer, but Jack Frost would have none of that. Discuss this unnatural phenomenon with someone else who just had their vacation ruined.
20 - Winter Wonderland - There's a lot more magic to go around, it's just a matter of finding it! Essentially, the wild card option. Blend together the choices above or come up with your own!

[Martel walked up behind Yuka, pausing to glance out the window as well.] It's a little barren during the winter, isn't it?

[floweryoukai.livejournal.com]

[The girl stired slightly, tilting her head to look over her shoulder at the other female, a delicate smile automatically appearing on her face.]

Indeed, it is~ It's not a bad thing, it's necessary so that the flowers can bloom even more splendidly later... it's a little bit sad, though. A state of pure whiteness, without any life to it.

[prettycatalyst.livejournal.com]

[Martel simply nodded.] Even without snow, it's a sad sight.

But let's not dwell on that, hm? It's warmer by the fire; you should sit down. Would you care for anything to eat or drink?

[floweryoukai.livejournal.com]

True. But snow gives it that... surreal kind of feeling~ It becomes, how to say it, more metaphorical? In a way, at least. [She laughed lightly, nodding to Martel and following her away from the window.]

Ah, a cup of tea would be nice, in a cold weather like that~♥

[prettycatalyst.livejournal.com]

[Martel smiled and made her way towards the kitchen.] I'll be right back then.

[floweryoukai.livejournal.com]

[Yuka nodded gratefully.] Would you like me to help you out with it?

[prettycatalyst.livejournal.com]

That's okay, I can do it myself~

[floweryoukai.livejournal.com]

Hmm... if you say so~ [Yuka smiled and turned towards the fireplace, watching the flames consuming wood instead.]

[prettycatalyst.livejournal.com]

[After a few minutes, Martel returned with two cups of tea for Yuka and herself, smiling.] Here.

[floweryoukai.livejournal.com]

Ah, thank you~ [She took the cup with a grateful smile, turning it in her hands a few times to get used to its warmth. Closing her eyes, she breathed in the tea's smell, and the smile on her face turned into a content one.]

I can't believe I'm spending this winter like a human would.

[prettycatalyst.livejournal.com]

[Martel laughed a little and smiled warmly.]

I do appreciate your company, though.

[floweryoukai.livejournal.com]

Better than that of your brother, for sure, isn't it? ♥ [The smile never changed, polite but cheerful as she took a sip of the hot liquid and hummed in delight.]

I must admit it's hard to find better company than yourself for a day like this, though~ In fact, I must admit being trapped like this with almost about anyone else would sooner or later end up with this house getting blown up~ [She chuckled lightly at the thought, not seeming to hate it in the slightest.]

[prettycatalyst.livejournal.com]

[Martel merely gave a soft laugh at the first question. Mithos was indeed her brother, and she did love him, but there were times when he got... well.]

I.. can only imagine... [Martel scratched her cheek, trying to not imagine what state the house would be in had Yuka been stuck with anyone else.]

[floweryoukai.livejournal.com]

[Yuka gave a slow nod to that, the smile almost turning into a smirk as she took another sip. She had that... awful tendency of rubbing most people the wrong way. Whether it was her attitude or things she'd sometimes end up saying, people would usually either get afraid of her, angry with her, or weirded out. The rare cases like a certain Tengu Reporter rarely ended up without battles over this or that as well.

Martel was... different, for as far as Yuka could tell from the short time they spent together. She glanced sideways at the other female and let her eyes linger on her for a longer moment before turning towards the fire once more.]

Better to only imagine than to get caught up in the middle of it~

[prettycatalyst.livejournal.com]

I suppose that's true. [Martel laughed again, taking a sip of her tea.]

[floweryoukai.livejournal.com]

[Yuka observed her out of the corner of her eye discreetly once more.]

What do you normally do? On winters, that is- especially, with a weather like that~?

[prettycatalyst.livejournal.com]

Stay inside, mostly. [She gave a wry smile.] There isn't really much for me to do, you know?

[floweryoukai.livejournal.com]

Really? How so~? I would have thought you'd be spending this time with those you hold dear, in depiction of one of those human ideals of a winter evening- by a fireplace, under a warm blanket, with a cup of cocoa. [An amused smile played on her lips]

[prettycatalyst.livejournal.com]

I really don't have anyone left to do that with anymore.

[floweryoukai.livejournal.com]

Ah, have you really lived that long? I would have thought those related to you would have lived for a similar amount of time, though. Could it be I was wrong? [The youkai mused out loud over her cup of tea.]

[prettycatalyst.livejournal.com]

Mithos is dead, Kratos is long gone, and Yuan... ... well, it's complicated.

[floweryoukai.livejournal.com]

Complicated? [She watched the other female curiously over the rim of her cup now, part of her mind focused more on wondering over how the steam from the warm liquid blurred Martel's features while the other part was listening to her every word, waiting answers.]

[prettycatalyst.livejournal.com]

We'd been engaged for a while, however... [She shrugged.] I didn't quite lose interest, however, I thought that, after all this time, it would be prudent of us both to move on.

[floweryoukai.livejournal.com]

[Engaged- the piece of information shook Yuka slightly, though she hoped it did not show - a mere stir on her part that was quickly hid as she blew on the tea to help it cool off. The usual peace settled on her face, spiked with just a bit of curiosity reflecting in red eyes.]

Engaged for a while, you say~ So you had a chance to experience what people seem so proud of? The feeling called "love"~

[prettycatalyst.livejournal.com]

[She held up a finger, as if to correct the other.] I thought I was in love, and back then, I truly believed I was. But, looking back, I just don't think it was meant to be. Four thousand years gives one a lot of time to put things in perspective, you know?
