a message from the Holiday Lights

[futureofdata]

I was attacked by the lights today. I was headed to the Forge and they suddenly all came at me. This has never happened before. They tied me up and they wouldn't let go until I listened to them. They say that they had a message for everyone. They said you need to be kinder to them. They say this is the one time of year that they actually get to

You should listen to Yuuta, Sada. You're tasking yourself way too much and not taking any breaks like you should be. It'll end up just getting worse for you if you continue working like that. So please, for your own health, just rest for a while. You can go back to working on your gifts after you do.

[futureofdata]

I suppose, since both you and Yuuta insist, I will. But only for an hour or so. I want to get finished before the Holiday Eve

[jachon]

I suppose that's better than nothing, though I really do wish you would give yourself more time to recoup. Just as Yuuta did, I'm more than willing to offer my help with the gifts if you are concerned about getting everything done on time. Three people working together is a lot better and more productive than just you by your overworked self, and that way, you will also have time to spare that you can then use to rest.

[futureofdata]

But if you did that, you would know what gift I have planned for you two. I can't have that I want it to be a surprise, 100%

[ooc: as stated in a previous few posts, Inui is renovating the Forge to be a miniature version of Hephaestus' actual forge. That is the gift for his siblings]

[jachon]

Which you can save for last if you're finished with everyone else. Are you finished yet with everyone else? Otherwise I will assume you still need help and you and your claims of revolting tools won't make me leave.

[OOC: Jackal knows, and he finds it funny that Inui thought that excuse would get rid of him and Yuuta, at the very least. ^^; They constantly back each other up for a reason. A threat from tools is just more of a reason to stay and help. >>;]

[futureofdata]

Almost. I'm almost done. So, it's all right. You can go and make sure the other Hephaestus children are away from the cabin as well. Just in case.

The younger ones are taken care of, don't worry. They're upset that they can't be in the forge, and they didn't really believe the revolting tool story, so I told them that the fires were getting out of control and that we need to put it back as a safe place for them to be at. They're only going to believe that for so long, though, Sada. You need to hurry before they get curious and start trying to go over there despite our efforts to stop them.

[futureofdata]

It will only be for the one day. I swear it. So please be patient and believe in me. I can do this and you'll all be back inside before you know it.

[jachon]

Alright. I will try to distract the others until you are done, then. Please let me know once you're finished so I can tell all of them that they're free to roam again.

[futureofdata]

Thank you, Jackal. You will be the first to know.

[jachon]

You're welcome. Try to remember to pace yourself and take your time with your work, though. If it seems like it's going to take longer than expected, just tell me so I know what's going on. I don't want you rushing yourself and ending up with subpar results for it at all.

[futureofdata]

No. This. This is only something I can do. I promise you it will be worth it.

[ooc: and on the morning of the surprise, Jackal might just find inui asleep outside the forge, because he wants to see their expressions]

[jachon]

Then I'll look forward to seeing what awaits us in that case. Good luck with your work, Sada. I have faith you'll create something wonderful for everyone~

[futureofdata]

Thank you. I will do my best.
