Second Flight - [Voice]

Dec 10, 2011 00:27

[An evening stroll for some fresh air outside the apartment reveals something a little bit different than what was expected, for Noelle. Lights, lights everywhere. On the trees, on the houses... it's like the village was suddenly lit up with several thousand fonstone lamps, like part of the Fon Belt itself had come down to illuminate the buildings ( Read more... )

what's with all the lights, what holidays does auldrant have anyway, what is christmas, something strange going on, inquiring minds

They're Christmas lights! Or just lights for the holidays in general, but yeah!

[Voice] albioreii December 10 2011, 06:50:32 UTC

Christmas...?

I guess that must be something from another world.

[Because they don't have anything like that on Auldrant, that she knows of...]

They are beautiful.

[Voice] moehealer December 10 2011, 06:54:17 UTC

Oh, do you not have Christmas where you come from?

It's a holiday and during the time of it, lots of people put out decorations like lights. They are really nice though, aren't they?

[Voice] albioreii December 10 2011, 07:30:09 UTC

Yes, they are. I can't really tell where they're coming from though.

[Maybe it's the fontechist in her, but with this much light... there has to be some sort of mechanism, doesn't there...?]

Lights...?

[And when Luke looks outside - sure enough, there are lights everywhere, even outside the window. He grins, and his voice might sound a bit far away, as he's busy pulling on a coat.]

No - Well, yeah, they might be some kind of experiment. But it's for that... one holiday! [Someone sure sounds excited about it, at least.]

[Voice] albioreii December 10 2011, 07:06:07 UTC

That... one holiday?

[Luke that isn't very helpful by itself. ^^;]

Someone else I've met here [She's not sure you know Yellow, you see] mentioned Christmas. Is that it?

[She does know you've been here longer than her.]

[Voice] cakeblocked December 10 2011, 07:07:43 UTC

[He does happen to know Yellow. But hey - ]

Yeah, that's it! Christmas! People put up lights on houses and trees to... to make it more festive, I guess.

[Voice] albioreii December 10 2011, 07:36:40 UTC

[She giggles a little at that.]

Well, it certainly does look festive.

[The cheer certainly seems to be affecting more than just a few people. Dist, also, had noticed the lights and his spirits seemed to lighten a little as well. The one time of year when the Malnosso showed some form of..."humanity". Or something close to it, at the least. He still has the first gift he ever received on that holiday - what was it called again?

And, strangely, where has he heard that voice before? It seems strangely familiar.]

Ah, yes...somewhat. However, I believe this is for a particular holiday around this year. [He glances at the responses and - there it is.] Christmas, yes. The gift-giving celebration.

[Or something like that. He doesn't know the details.]

[Voice] albioreii December 10 2011, 07:46:30 UTC

[That voice... that voice makes her go quite quiet and still. By this point, she'd been told that Dist was also in Luceti, but she'd still never expected him to... speak to her so openly like this. She'd expected mainly, that she would avoid speaking to him and him to her, and she could get on with what she needed to do.

Her voice is very guarded, almost stiff.]

So I've been told.

[Voice] - 1/2 its_rose_damnit December 11 2011, 17:57:42 UTC

[Sorry, Noelle, but Dist doesn't do well to remember less important people. or, you know...random hostages. Though the voice is getting more and more familiar by he second. Where has he heard it before? And the face is...is...

Oh.

Whoops.]

[Voice] its_rose_damnit December 11 2011, 18:02:56 UTC

[AHEM. A-Adjusting his tie and glasses and vjvhdry--this is very awkward. Should he just...shut the journal? Maybe? P-Possibly. He already invited conversation though, so...fff. Damn.

Right. Okay! Maybe she...doesn't remember! Yes. He'll just. Pretend he never hit her over the head, held her hostage, stole the key element of her plane's mechanics, and threatened her life.

Yeah. Awesome plan.]

I-I-Indeed! [Dist laughs, nervously.] It's the one time where not very many ill circumstances occur to the population here. ...More or less, of course.

[Voice] markofthewise December 10 2011, 07:36:17 UTC

Whatever they are, it's kind of a pain. I can't even figure out where the light is coming from.

[Voice] albioreii December 10 2011, 07:48:27 UTC

So you haven't been able to find the source either?

[Given how she's curious as to how the light is being produced, this is quite relevant to her interests.]

[Voice] markofthewise December 10 2011, 07:54:08 UTC

They're just there. The only way to stop them is to break the bulbs.

[Voice] albioreii December 10 2011, 08:04:27 UTC

They have to be drawing power from somewhere...

[Fontech may not be her area of expertise, but it's still something she's somewhat interested in. Family history, and all.]

Do you want them to turn off?

[She thinks they're pretty, but he seems more annoyed by the spectacle.]

Hm...it's a little early for an experiment. Perhaps they are what they appear to be; decoration.

[Voice] albioreii December 11 2011, 01:34:38 UTC

[Good, so there was generally some sort of break between them... She wasn't sure, given that she's been here around a month (less than a month by Auldrant standards)]

Right... for Christmas, someone else said.

[Voice] mistlegacy December 11 2011, 02:23:31 UTC

Yes. It's a common winter festival across some worlds. I don't mind it; at least we get something of a break around this time, as much as we can in Luceti.
