((OOC: Response to this lovely conversation. I-I'm sorry! XD))

What a truly detestable person.
It's my job to assist civillians, regardless of how unpleasant they may seem, and yet I've never run into one before that was so... entirely unmanageable. It's as if he behaves that way on purpose. Why would anyone?

Someone bothering you, Tear?

I dunno what Easter is... what's this tradition you learned about? Is it fun?

[Filtered]

[a_severed_fate]

Not particularly...

I was trying to assist one of the newer arrivals, but he was set on being difficult. I don't believe that he took me seriously at all. A skeptical attitude towards this place and a disrespectful attitude towards others can only mean trouble; he'll discover that soon enough, I suppose.

Ah, well it's actually quite a simple activity. Apparently in some cultures people will paint eggs for this holiday - that is after you hard boil them so that the shells won't crack.

[catslooklikeme]

I see. Showing up here can be kinda jarring... he'll adapt in time. We all do after a while...

Painting eggs, huh? That sounds kinda fun... something kids would enjoy, at any rate. I'll lend a hand if you still need it!

[a_severed_fate]

I certainly hope he adjusts rapidly...

[Aww, Nall. D: You just had to go and call it "fun for kids". Tear thought they were cute, now she's just kind of embarrassed.]

...ah, yes. I suppose it would. I'm not planning to do a great deal of shopping, I was just concerned that the eggs might break if I tried carrying too many cartons of them at once. It seemed like more hands would save unneccesary trips back and forth.

Did you catch his name? Maybe he just needs some more friends.

[Oh, don't worry, Tear, you'll feel plenty dignified as Nall sits there beaming as he draws smiley faces and whatnot on eggs later... or when someone splashes him with the egg dye and turns his hair pink or purple! >:D]

OK, I can see where you might be concerned there! I'll lend a hand with the carrying! We didn't do anything like this on Lunar! There are some pretty nifty holidays in other worlds, aren't there?

...his name was Nathan. I wish I could believe that it's as you say, but I have certain doubts...

[:D ♥~]

We didn't celebrate anything of this nature on Auldrant either. I could never say that the customs of other worlds are uninteresting, though occasionally they don't follow any logic at all...

I'd appreciate it.

[catslooklikeme]

Nathan. Got it. Well, let's just both hope for the best for now!

[ooc: Pink or purple flying cat... yes, this makes me smile. This must happen. >:D]

Well, Christmas was fun! And we didn't have anything like that back home. I... didn't really get the point of the whole green thing that happened a week ago, but it was pretty harmless.

No problem, glad to help!

[Filtered]

[a_severed_fate]

Yes, you're right. We can always hope.

((OOC: Sure, I support it. Tear might even do the unthinkable: laugh.))

It was. I'd never experienced Christmas before, but the overall atmosphere was very pleasant. I think it reminded me of a few things I'd taken for granted up until then.

The "green day" didn't make a great deal of sense to me either, but I didn't hear of anything else occupying, so I assume there were no negative effects, as you said.

When would be a good time for you? I'm in no particular hurry, although I do have training sessions to attend in the evenings.

((OOC: Tear laughing = WIN. C'mon, she'd get a chuckle out of seeing Nall turn himself pink and looked like this for a day, right? 'Cause I can't stop giggling...))

It was fun having an excuse to get presents for people and getting stuff! I still haven't really gotten very good with the chess set I got, but I'll figure it all out eventually!

I'm free whenever you need! I have nothing planned!

((OOC: It *IS* win because it rarely happens. And that is adorable. I just looked up Lunar and found that clip actually. *hasneverplayeditsoyeah*))

You're right, it was. Although... thinking of presents for everyone was a bit difficult. I've never given or received so many of them before. A chess set, huh? I'm familiar with the game, if you need any help.

I'm not doing anything at the moment, assuming now isn't too soon.

((OOC: Hee hee, I'm going to have to make some icons for this. Lunar is an older game, so it can't be helped, but if you have a PSP, the game Nall originally debuts in was just released in a new, updated, shiny package *_*))

You know chess, Tear? I guess I shouldn't be surprised! I'd appreciate some help whenever you've got some free time!

Now works just fine! I'm anxious to try this tradition out!

((OOC: Ooh, I do have a PSP~ and not enough games for it, lol. *Only has Star Ocean: The First Departure, Tales of the World: Radiant Mythology, and a Darkstalkers game*))

[Imagine a slight smile if you wish.] Sure. I know how to play, but I'm not an expert by any means.

In that case, why don't we meet at the front door of the apartment building? We can head out from there.

((OOC: I highly recommend Lunar Harmony of Silver Star! It's a great old school RPG and if I remember the advertisements correctly, loaded with extra goodies! Lunar games are usually packed with extras. When I got the first game on the PSX, I got a boxing nun toy fashioned after the game's villain!))

Alright, I'll see you there!
