So, what are you wearing to ring out the old and bring in the new?

Sho | Moon Child

[urnotafraid]

Sho would go and somehow take a normal kimono and make it look glammed up. After all, how many people would wear a studded belt over the sash outside of him?

Ichinomiya Kantarou | tactics

Kantarou was wearing more traditional clothes than he normally did. They were rather archaic but what he used to preform exorcisms.

Haruka | Tactics

Haruka traded in his Western clothes for a more traditional kimono.

December 31st - Bell Ringing

[motherofthesun]

The park has been arranged for the festivities despite the lava here and there. A temple has been set up and a bell prepared. While letting what time remains of the year tick away, the bell is rung 108 times.

[kan_chyan]

To ring the bell, he hardly ever got a chance to do that. There were always too many people ahead of him, and sometimes he was just too busy or tired to really get out and about. But this time? This time he was going to ring that bell, he was going wash away the past year and enter the new one cleansed! Or, at leas the was going to tell himself that and feel better about some various choices he made.

[onikui_haruka]

Haruka was standing close behind him, waiting patiently and watching with vague interest. As a youkai, he had enough sense to catch on to the modern New Year's celebration by the Japanese. - In other words, he knew how to go through the motions, but they didn't particularly affect him down to deep or spiritual level.

But he still chose to tag along, keeping his eyes out on the festivities and Kantarou in case the ground suddenly decided to turn on them. He sighed inwardly. What a waste of his power as a tengu...

[kan_chyan]

Not to mention the New year was different than what Haruka was probably used to.

"After I ring the bell we should go and look around. It's a pity you can't see a sunrise on a ship in space," not one he really wanted to see, but maybe the sun coming up around a planet would be interesting when he saw it.
