New... ((Open RP, Great Hall))

[mello_n_choco]

Things have settled out, more or less. It's strange being around so many people and so much...holiday weirdness. Though, this really is the first year I've cared about it

"You scandalize them," Near says tonelessly, walking up behind Mello. He'd been ensconced in a corner stacking matchsticks, and had witnessed the exchange before abandoning them in favor of Mello's company. "If you described exactly what you wanted, they'd do it."

[mello_n_choco]

I glance over and Near and make a face. "I've tried. They're bound and determined that hot chocolate must be disgustingly sweet. They've tried to foist sugar off on me after I've made hot chocolate, too."

[cardarchitect]

"They must like you, to be so concerned." Near smirked. "They want you to be well cared for."

[mello_n_choco]

I raise an eyebrow at him. "Please, explain to me how more sugar is benificial, please."

[omg_sunflora]

Sunflora giggled from under the table.

[mello_n_choco]

Under the table? I look under and see a...flower. Right. Why not? "Something funny?"

[omg_sunflora]

"They're angry because you're making hot chocolate. It's funny."

[mello_n_choco]

"They're angry because I don't like their sugar slop and they think that I need to drink their sugar slop and not proper hot chocolate."

Why the hell am I talking to a flower?

"You are an absolute son of a bitch, you know that, right?" Soichiro said from the doorway.

[mello_n_choco]

"What's new?" I ask, glaring at him. "Enjoy your Christmas present?"

[papayagami]

"I'm giving it to Matsuda. He'll have more use of it than I will." Soichiro left the doorway to enter the hall, wanting a bowl of soup.

[mello_n_choco]

"He was more useful than you," I reply, almost sweetly.

"Does your hot chocolate really taste better than theirs?" Rika feels a bit annoyed from being taken away from her final world when everything was falling into place, but she keeps up her innocent and cheerful act. Nothing made her open up that christmas gift that switched that Rika for this one after all.

[mello_n_choco]

I look up. "Yes, it really does. They think hot chocolate should taste like sugar. I prefer chocolate."

[mello_n_choco]

I make a face. "They think hot chocolate should take like sugar. I prefer when it tastes like chocolate."

[fatedjune]

"I understand, I dislike the sickeningly sweet tasting treats," Rika smiles. "I guess others think that making things unnecessarily sweet somehow makes it better."

"What's wrong with silver?" Kurama asked, rapping his knuckles on top of Mello's skull.

[mello_n_choco]

I glare at him. I'm not going to give him the satisfaction of rubbing my head. "Nothing. Just it's showing through," I reply.

[serrulata]

"Silver," Kurama began, with all the haughty air he could muster (which was a large amount, and he was in a playful mood) "is most glorious and dignified color. It invokes a sense of refinement, of debonair, and of something you seem to be severely lacking, which is to say class. To have a youthful face and silver hair is to have wisdom, grace, and beauty beyond most human conception."

[mello_n_choco]

I roll my eyes at him. "And here, I thought it just made you look old."
