HAPPY NEW YEAR'S AND A MERRY CHRISTMAS

[trollingismagic.insanejournal.com]

[ Best wishes from Bermuda Isle!



A number of booths have sprung up near the shoreline, enticing you to don yourself in the colorful festive garb of a true Bermuda native! Unwind from your day and come out to see what's offered. ♥ There are all sorts of delicious foods and snacks, and plenty of souvenirs. It's time to ring in the New Year of 2012! Lanterns have been strung up, and the snow seems to have stopped. In fact, no snow is to be seen near the site of the festival itself. Oddly, the booths are all run by strange black goatlike creatures in finely tailored suits...

The catch is, unless you sneak in, you have to come with a friend or a date! So find someone to go in with you! ♥ You may even catch a glimpse of Eureka as she wanders the festival... ]

It doesn't seem like that kind of stuff is right for you, Kukaku.

I'm sorry you had to endure that.

[She smiles and reaches over, mussing his hair.]

It's okay. It sucked, but... It's part of who I am. I wouldn't be me if I hadn't gone through it.

Doing things you don't like is part of growing up. It makes you stronger.

[watersprout.insanejournal.com]

[Those words were very insightful, and without realizing it he was learning a lot from her.]

Is that part of being mature? In that case, I want to grow up strong however I can.

[upsideyourhead.insanejournal.com]

Yup... I mean, don't go looking for trouble or going out of your way to do things you don't like, and all that. Being happy is real important. But sometimes ya gotta roll with what comes.

[watersprout.insanejournal.com]

Oh, no I won't cause any unnessessary trouble or anything like that. You don't have to worry.

I don't think Lady Eureka wouldn't allow trouble on her island.

[upsideyourhead.insanejournal.com]

Heh... If she didn't allow trouble, she wouldn't have brought me.

[watersprout.insanejournal.com]

[Good point. But, he likes to see the point out the good in people so~]

[nervously] Ah--yeah, but you have good reason for it. [He was gonna add, 'most of the time', but that would be impolite, given his nature.]

[upsideyourhead.insanejournal.com]

[Kukaku laughs a bit and musses his hair again.]

I am who I am. I'm trouble but at least my intentions are usually pretty okay.

[watersprout.insanejournal.com]

[He smiles at her.]

[He's full now, so he'll just gently push away any more food near him and groan a little.]

[upsideyourhead.insanejournal.com]

[Kukaku eats a bit more and then gathers up their trash.]

For a festival run by a bunch'a goat things, this wasn't half bad!

[watersprout.insanejournal.com]

Yes, it was nice.

Ah--those strange things looked a little scary.

[upsideyourhead.insanejournal.com]

You think so? I mean, they ain't that big or anything...

Guess I'm just too used to hollows. But don't worry. If they try anything I'll just punch 'em or something.

[watersprout.insanejournal.com]

I've just...never seen anything like them before.

Oh--um, t-thank you. But, I hope it doesn't come to that. [softly~] I don't like people getting hurt.

[upsideyourhead.insanejournal.com]

Me either honestly, but they don't got skulls for faces, so I ain't too worried.

Heh... Don't you worry about me. I already told you, I can handle it. I was a Vice-Captain remember? I didn't get that post just sitting around on my ass!

[watersprout.insanejournal.com]

[Oh, Kukaku~] I haven't forgotten.

[tugging at one of his flaps again~] I'm not sure I could transmute anything helpful, so I don't think I'd be useful. I know you can handle it, but just don't push yourself.

[upsideyourhead.insanejournal.com]

Well, I doubt we gotta worry. They don't seem hostile at all. So long as we don't make any trouble, I doubt there'll be anything to worry about.

We just came to have fun right? we should get back to that.

[watersprout.insanejournal.com]

Ah--r-right. I'm sorry!

[He quickly stands up and out of habit, if she doesn't mind, he'll take his place close by her.]

Oh, do you think there would be any souvenirs at the festival?

[upsideyourhead.insanejournal.com]

[She just takes his hand and leads him back toward the stands.]

Sure, probably. You want to see if we can get some?

[watersprout.insanejournal.com]

[Nods.] Yeah!

I was hoping to find something to give you in return for helping me before.

[upsideyourhead.insanejournal.com]

...That's real sweet and all, but you don't need to feel like you owe me anything. We're friends.

[watersprout.insanejournal.com]

I know! That's why I wanted to get you something.

[upsideyourhead.insanejournal.com]

...You're a good kid.

[watersprout.insanejournal.com]

[Smiling] I've got my friends to thank for that.

[He spots a few active booths as they walk] I wonder which one you should pick? Maybe they have more games and some nice souvenirs.

[upsideyourhead.insanejournal.com]

[She laughs a bit.] I guess my friends are to thank for the fact that I'm a troublemaker.

[She looks around and shrugs.]

Dunno.. Let's see what we can find.

[watersprout.insanejournal.com]

I guess friends are part of what makes us the people we are.

Okay. The first one was fun, so the others should be too.
