96 - what year is this anyway...?

[sore_feet_man]

The year is coming to an end once again on the island. I realized that I've never done anything special for New Years' celebration, but now I'm curious; what kinds of things do people do, in the worlds we all come from? It's usually a fairly big deal in Japan, where I'm from, though I was always on the road and usually didn't make plans for it

You can patrol better than anyone even with one eye on the sunrise, I bet. Even so, though, you should ask for the time off. I bet you've racked up enough paid time off to last you a few weeks of vacation by now.

*contemplative pause*

...You don't sleep enough, though. Regularly enough.

I really had no idea how bad it was until I started really paying attention after moving in.

[crimeas_hero]

Hey, can't hurt to be too prepared, can it?

Anyway...I showed up in mid-September. Over two years ago now. When did you arrive?

longest buddiessss *A*

[sore_feet_man]

Mm, I remember talking about this before... I showed up one day before you, on the 16th of the month.

[crimeas_hero]

...Oh, right. Slipped my mind.

...So then, if everyone who came here before us really is gone now...

That's...a really weird feeling.

[sore_feet_man]

...It is.

*doesn't want to say what is probably on both their minds, "does that mean we're next"...*

I'm glad to hear you'll put it to use.

And thanks for the telescope. To be honest, I've never studied astronomy, but it's always fun to get into a new field of the sciences.

[sore_feet_man]

The nice thing about astronomy is how easy it is to enjoy even with just a basic knowledge of the skies. I think it'll be worth a look through the lens at least a few times, when you have a quiet evening and nothing particular to do.

[ashadyguy]

Huh? You're from Japan, too? And wait- just how long have you been here?

[sore_feet_man]

My hair hasn't always been this color; at one point, it used to be black.

It's been a little over 2 years and 3 months now.

[ashadyguy]

I see...

T-two years? Seriously?

[sore_feet_man]

I'm one of a small handful of people left who can boast that, yup.

[hunterxofxrare]

I'd be happy to! I'll have to make a note to wake up early, though~

I'm glad you liked the brownies!

[sore_feet_man]

Hmmm... I wonder where would be best to view it. Would the top of Ari apartments be out of the question, you think?

They hit the spot. Do you cook often, Mistral?

[hunterxofxrare]

People have gone up there before, so I don't see why not!

Ever since I took the job as prep cook, I've been trying out some stuff on my own. Plus, from what I remember, I cooked at home, too~

[sore_feet_man]

Sounds like a plan, then. Maybe we can scare up some hot tea to drink and keep warm while we wait. Sun-up has been...just before 8 o'clock, recently, so maybe we'll gather around 7 in the morning?

Hnn... In between playing that electronic game, I assume. *smirk*
