... Hn. So it's New Year's today... Well, at least this time it's something worth celebrating. Seems the island is capable of doing something relatively useful from time to time. Even if the people here are still annoying.

... Hóng bāo? Hm. Makes sense.

[[ooc: ... It's a scary thought, but yeah, Ren's kinda less grumpy than usually. Also, one

Here, have an angry woman accosting you

[vigilante_miko]

You there! Return my memories or face the consequences!

... I'm sure Ren will be delighted.

[king_of_thunder]

Hmph. I'm not the one who stole your memories.

Re: ... I'm sure Ren will be delighted.

[vigilante_miko]

That sounds like something the person who stole my memories would say!

[king_of_thunder]

I'd much rather have my own memories back. I have no interest in yours.

[magicbloomers]

This is a pretty fun holiday, Ren. Do they have it back where you're from?

[king_of_thunder]

Of course. It's a Chinese holiday, after all.

[magicbloomers]

Oooh, wow, that sounds really interesting. What's the holiday about?

[king_of_thunder]

It's the beginning of the New Year, obviously. Its date is determined by the lunisolar Chinese calendar. Important is the year's presiding animal zodiac and its earthly branch. Alongside the 12-year cycle of the animal zodiac there is a 10-year cycle of heavenly stems. Each of the ten heavenly stems is associated with one of the five elements of Chinese astrology: Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water. The elements are rotated every two years while a yin and yang association alternates every year. The elements are thus distinguished: Yang Wood, Yin Wood, Yang Fire, Yin Fire, etc. These produce a combined cycle that repeats every 60 years.

The year that has just begun is the year of Yin Earth Ox, and it's earthly branch is Chou.

*Gin just happens to walk by the open door and can't help but sneak a peek into the other's room.*

My, someone sure is gettin' into the holiday spirit. How clean~

[[ooc: Gin-muse can't help but want to show up and make Ren's day a little worse >_> Does that mean that Ren threw out the fruit Gin gave him? D:...XD]]

[king_of_thunder]

... How many times do I need to repeat myself before you finally start minding your own business?

[[ooc: Meanie. Dunno. But he'll probably have to do it at some point, right? ^^;;]]

[a_mischief_grin]

Repeat yerself? Why, I have no idea what yer talkin' 'bout~

[[He can't help it? Not to mention it's hard not to when they're neighboors >_>; Aw, lol, but of course. Gin would actually be surprised in Ren still had it. XD Also, I don't know if you ever saw it but This was and still is for you XD]]

[king_of_thunder]

... I believe I told you several times to leave me alone.

[[ooc: The guy needs a therapy. =3= *ignores the part about the neighbours* Haha, certainly~ asdfghjkl; *totally saw it but was REALLY busy this week, soo... will reply ASAP. -shame shame-*]]

[lawful_maiden]

I take it that you enjoy Chinese New Year, Ren?

[OOC: Ffft. This is not late.]

[king_of_thunder]

Hmph. It's definitely better than celebrating Thanksgiving.

[[ooc: Never said it was. <3]]

[lawful_maiden]

In a matter of opinions. Are you planning on going to the festival, then?

[king_of_thunder]

... I believe I might go there, yes.
