Mithros, you lot are fair excited for so late at night! What's going on that's got everyone in a fuss?

...no one blew up something again, did they? Or mayhaps, Carthaki invasions or pirate raids?

What's this about a dance, then? I've been hearing about it at that drone-school. All the dances I've ever been to have been fancy affairs, but I would doubt this is anything like this. Especially since Jon and Thayet aren't here ( Read more... )

[Daine sighs into the phone. She's honestly confused.]

I feel like I have to ask this about all holidays here.

What's...Valentine's Day? We didn't have it where I came from. Sometimes I miss the sensible holidays, Samhain and Beltane...things like that.

When did all of these holidays get started? It's fair confusing, in my book.

[So guess what came in the mail today, guys?

I...should get out and about more. Being this close to home is starting to get to me.

[She clears her throat, obviously nervous about asking this.]

Does anyone want to...do something with me? Not, like that, just...like a walk. Or something. I need to get out of the house and meet some more people.

I'm sorry that I'm going to start sounding like a parrot, but Halloween is really Samhain with a different name, isn't it ( Read more... )

[Daine received a package today! If you notice her about town, she's wearing brown breeches and a beige shirt, tucked in. She's also in her sturdy work boots, which suit her much better than those ridiculous shoes she tried to wear earlier ( Read more... )
