149th Revolution: This is taking the "holiday spirit" a little too far.

[child_radical]

One more day closer to Christmas and still no sign of one the more memorable curses from last year. This seems like a bit of good fortune actually decided to smile upon us for once. That or it's pretty much waiting in the wings to descend upon us like a flock of vultures onto a freshly fallen corpse.  Waiting around isn't going to do much and I've

Can I help you?

[doctor_tangent]

No. Unlikely. Probably not.

Either you found a friend from your world or you just acclimate to your surroundings quickly.

[He might be lost in thought, but Menolly isn't. She's been busy shopping and is on her way somewhere, but she makes a slight detour when she catches sight of Huey. Of course, she didn't notice the little plant above his head.]

Are you alright?

[child_radical]

[He turns his head towards the older girl once he hears her voice and just gives her a small smile.]

I'm fine, just doing some shopping. What about you, Menolly?

[sings4dragons]

[Chuckling, she shifts her coat a little to show that she's been doing the same thing.]

Finishing up for the upcoming holiday. I just wanted to check on you. You looked a little lost in thought.

[child_radical]

Just wondering about some obscure thing, it's nothing really important.

[He keeps up his calm air if only to keep his friend from fretting over his own displeasure at having to cut down a number of people during the survival game curse and the friends he had leaving over the course of the year.]

[Uni is strolling by with her bags, when she notices Huey and stops to greet him.]

Hello, Huey! Are you done with your Christmas shopping, yet?

action;

[child_radical]

[He looks up and nods his head in greeting towards Uni.]

I actually just started today.

[witheringlily]

Do you think you can finish in a couple of days? I can help you, if you'd like.

[child_radical]

Wouldn't that cut into your shopping? [As he says this he finds himself moving closer to Uni.]

[And as luck would have it Tsubaki happens to be heading back to the apartment after picking the last ingredients she needs for Christmas dinner as she comes back from her job, because yes, she plans to make it all especially scrumptious, it's an extra present from her really.]

Huey, everything okay?

Action

[child_radical]

[He looks up from his thoughts and pushes everything he's been thinking about to the back of his mind.]

Yeah, there's nothing wrong.

Action

[mytechskeeper]

[After all this time spent living with him she is a bit unsure of that answer but doesn't push. Instead she just smiles softly back.]

Are you going to be long? I wouldn't mind waiting and we can walk back together.

Action

[child_radical]

I was about to go and do some shopping but I don't mind escorting you back to the apartment.

action; no regrets

[makinghoscroak]

[What's a guy gotta do to get some sake around here? Shira's ambling down in the direction coming towards Huey. He's got his own style of heavy feudal era coat on but man, the guy is still barefoot in his sandals. Go figure.]

action; Today's mortification is brought to you by the letter 'F' as in Ffffffffffffffffff.

[child_radical]

[And Huey will remain unaware of the creepy man who seemed to get a kick out of harassing his sister figure walking up behind him.]

action; you mean ffffffffffffuuuuuuuuuuuuu

[makinghoscroak]

[Wait a second. Shira stops. He stops so close Huey may already know he's there if not by sheer presence alone then by his breathing.]

Heh. Hey kid, didn't know you were into flowers.

action; Yeah.

[child_radical]

The hell...[Huey narrows his eyes at the man and curses inwardly at having left his nunchucks sitting on his desk.] What do you want?
