It is amazing that, after eight months in the City (it will be nine at the end of January), nothing much has changed. Life as usual, I suppose.

....We really do need to dispose of this tree. There are needles everywhere. Stuck in the carpet. Scattered on the coffee table and the couch and other surrounding furniture. I'm sure I'll be finding

I guess that means we have to put away all the cute decorations, too...

[anti_asymmetry]

They served their purpose. It's no longer the season for them.

[omochikaerii]

We'll clean it up! Kid-kun keeps himself busy with work!

[anti_asymmetry]

Thank you, Rena.

Have you been well?

[omochikaerii]

Rena is always at 100%!

Still working on the root beer challenge!

[anti_asymmetry]

Not always. But I'm glad- it's nice to see you like this.

...you're pacing yourself, I hope.

Of course~ It's a competition, after all.

Are you participating in what the deities asked for? Asked for?

[anti_asymmetry]

Good. The last thing we need is for you to get sick.

...as of now, no.

[omochikaerii]

Be careful. If you make it into a game it's more exciting. And as long as it's not real beer it isn't too bad.

[anti_asymmetry]

I think I'd rather take my chances and forgo the challenge.

[omochikaerii]

Have they ever asked for something like this before? Before?

[anti_asymmetry]

Not in my memory. But I see little reason to give them what they want, when they already have free reign over us.

I don't like the idea of it too much either...the deities just play with people, and it's wrong.

But sometimes disobeying a god can bring consequences...

[anti_asymmetry]

This was my decision, Rena. It does not have to influence yours.
