Well, the weather outside is frightful

Characters: Everyone!
Date: Midnight the 16th of December
Summary: The inhabitants of the Garden get their reward for making out beneath the mistletoe, in the form of a lights show in the sky.
Warnings: N/A

In the dead of night, the Garden is dead silent. Without the sound of the city or urban life, only the noises of nature pervade the air. Crickets. Rustling leaves. The occasional footsteps of an animal.

However, tonight, at midnight, the silence is broken by a loud pealing of bells, rousing the people of the garden from their sleep. The bells continue ringing for nearly half a minute before falling silent. For a moment, the peacefulness of night returns to the Gardens.

Then the enormous mistletoe plant begins glowing, with a brilliant white light bright enough to be seen from all corners of the Garden. It fizzes, shooting off heatless sparks, and then bursts, shooting up into the sky and breaking into pieces of glowing light, forming various shapes. Above the Orchard, a series of hearts form, burst like fireworks, and reform. Over the Necessities, nymphs made of sparkling light kiss and dance through the sky, winking down at the people below. Over the ruins, flowers of multicolored light pop into existence and disperse. And above the Viridian Pavilion, fiery red phoenixes swoop through the air, burn out dramatically, and are reborn in a new cascade of light.

The show will continue until morning. Fortunately, now that the mistletoe's light has dispersed, it's not so bright that it should keep people awake.

"It couldn't hurt." Tsukasa managed a smile as she spoke.

"C'mere," Jolyne said, wrapping her arms around Tsukasa. "It'll be alright. Dunno how, but things'll work out."

"Thanks, I needed that." Tsukasa's tears abated for a moment, if anything, it was nice to be assured things would be alright.

Jolyne slowly released her, but she left one hand on her shoulder. "Here, why don't we go get some hot chocolate or something? You can tell me all about home...or we can just watch the show. How's that sound?"

Tsukasa looked like she needed someone to talk to.

"That would be nice, actually. Oh, my name is Tsukasa, by the way."
soapscent: (hey what)

"Jolyne Kujo." She holds out a hand for a shake. "I got some magic dirt on me, I can cook some of the good stuff up."

She removed a few twigs of Wild Stuff. A moment's concentration later, she's holding two mugs of steaming hot chocolate, topped with a layer of marshmallows. "Hope you like marshmallows, I did think to ask until it was too late."

"I don't mind them." Tsukasa gently took one of the mugs from Jolyne's hand. A moment later she takes a small sip of the hot beverage. "Its good~."

"I tried to make it taste like my mom would make," Jolyne said, taking a sip of her own. "Never can quite get it right, but it's a close enough imitation."

"This brings back some memories..." Tsukasa said in a wistful manner. "The boy I like back home would make hot chocolate for me when I was cold to."

"Oh?" Jolyne said, taking this as a cue for conversation. "Did he like you back, or...?"

"...I actually haven't worked up the courage to ask him yet." Tsukasa sighed. "I'm not sure if it would work out either, he's 7 years older then me."
soapscent: (huh)

Jolyne nodded. "I remember when I was your age, I had a crush on a teacher or two. Thing is...well, it might not seem that way right now, but that sort of thing's usually a bad idea. You'll probably agree when you're older."

She instantly stuck out her tongue in disgust. "Oh, gross, I sound like my mom."

Tsukasa giggles for a moment before returning to the subject at hand. "I know. But I still want to give it a shot. I have the nagging feeling I'll regret it later if I don't tell him how I feel."

Jolyne nodded. "Yeah, I understand that. Plus, I guess it's kind of a moot point now, isn't it?"

"Yeah, I decided I would confess to him quite awhile ago."

Jolyne took a sip of her hot chocolate while she tried to think of something else to say.

"So, who else you got? Family, friends, whatever?"
