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!

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?

[floweryoukai.livejournal.com]

[No, she did not, in fact, know, but-] I can imagine. [she said with a smile, sipping on the tea.

The warmth has already started to leave the container and the liquid, so she now held the cup in both hands, to channel whatever energy she could get out of it to warm her body up.]

Were you really in love back then, at this rate, I wonder~ Some do seem to believe that what is true for a person, is true in general, even if only when it applies to the believer itself~ [Her eyes glinted playfully.]

[prettycatalyst.livejournal.com]

It hardly matters now, in any case. Being stuck in the past doesn't do anyone any good.

[floweryoukai.livejournal.com]

Well said~ [She barely remembered much of her past herself.]

That way, once can live freely~

[prettycatalyst.livejournal.com]

[Martel nodded in agreement.]

It's best to just be thankful for what I have now.

[floweryoukai.livejournal.com]

Are you, then? [She sent her a lingering glance.]

Thankful for what you have now, that is~

[prettycatalyst.livejournal.com]

... Definitely. [She gave a soft smile.] Aselia is at peace and I couldn't ask for a better friend at my side.

[floweryoukai.livejournal.com]

Aselia? Mind reminding me what was that again? [She wasn't even sheepish about it. It was pretty much common knowledge Yuka tended to not care much for names - be it those of people, of places, or of events.

But huh, a friend...] Friend, you say? I suppose many treasure that kind of bonds. I'm guessing you're feeling lucky to have one, as well~

[prettycatalyst.livejournal.com]

Ah, remember how I mentioned that my world was split into two for the longest time? That's what the joined world is called.

[Martel nodded.] I treasure it all the more after the 4000 years that I was imprisoned within the Great Seed.

[floweryoukai.livejournal.com]

Oh, that~ I recall now. [Yuka beamed a smile at Martel.] Names like that sure are hard to memorise~ [Not like she did any better of a job with names in her native tongue, though.]

4000 years sure is a long time~ Were you awake all that while? Or did you just sleep? [She recalled her own habit of retreating into the Dream World for years, sometimes decades.]

[prettycatalyst.livejournal.com]

I was awake the entire time. [She looked down at her tea again.]

[floweryoukai.livejournal.com]

....I'm sorry. That must have been awful, a dull existence like that.

[prettycatalyst.livejournal.com]

I couldn't move, I couldn't speak... I could only watch. I'm just glad that's over with now.

[floweryoukai.livejournal.com]

...that's- [Surprise, surprise - the great Kazami Yuka rendered speechless.

She stared into her cup for a lingering moment before shifting her eyes towards the fire. She still remained uncharacteristically silent, though, a tiniest of frowns even appearing on her face, smile fading away as she tried to imagine the feeling.

The feeling of a flower, or a tree, that could do nothing but watch as everything around it gets trampled- She clicked her tongue, frustrated. She did not like unlocking memories of such feelings.]

[prettycatalyst.livejournal.com]

[Martel merely shrugged.] My brother was a fool for doing what he did, but that's all in the past now, thanks to Kratos's son and his companions.

[floweryoukai.livejournal.com]

_{You wouldn't mind being trapped like that forever?}

[prettycatalyst.livejournal.com]

... I would. The way they were, the worlds were dying... And I could do nothing but watch as everything began to fall to ruin.

Thanks to Lloyd and his friends... the seed that had been my prison was finally allowed to germinate... and I was freed as a result.

[floweryoukai.livejournal.com]

[The flower youkai could merely give a nod to that, taking a sip of now nearly-cold tea in silence, mulling something over in her thoughts.]

[prettycatalyst.livejournal.com]

[Martel looked over at Yuka, a little concerned.] ... What are you thinking about?

[floweryoukai.livejournal.com]

Things~ [Yuka replied lightly, looking over at Martel with a smile.] Like how awful it must be to feel grateful towards humans.

[prettycatalyst.livejournal.com]

Humans and half-elves. [There wasn't much difference, true, but Martel still felt the need to add in the part about half-elves. After all, previous to her life (if you could call it that) in the Great Seed, she had been a half-elf as well. She chuckled nonetheless.] It wasn't completely terrible. They had good hearts, I'll say that much. [She looked up in thought.] It hardly matters anymore. They're all dead now.

[floweryoukai.livejournal.com]

Which would be half-humans~ [Yuka pointed out idly, returning her gaze to the fireplace.] Do you feel sad? That they're dead already~
