New Year's Day

[answerer_sword]

1. Basement of 1130 Taylor Road

[3...2...1...]

[The clock strikes 12:00. Nothing happens except for the annoying video broadcast over the TV. Bazett lets out a sigh of relief. She had been on edge for much of December 31st, preparing for whatever disaster Mayfield would throw at them. Now, it seems that at least this holiday would be allowed to pass

[ Firo's strolling by when he notices the odd scene. He stops and stares for a moment, wondering if she needs help. ]

Hey, lady, you alright?

Re: 2

[answerer_sword]

Yes. I am alright. I am just celebrating New Years.

[She stops banging the bread and turns to him.]

Have you never seen an Irish New Year before?

[justdumbluck]

...Celebratin'?

[ He shakes his head, blinking in confusion. ]

Uh... No. Where I come from we don't celebrate by attackin' our doors with bread.

[answerer_sword]

It is not an attack. It is a good luck charm.

[Though she might have been a little overzealous in banging at her door.]

Don't hold your breath. I bet it's only a matter of time.

Re: [Phone]

[answerer_sword]

I believe I will be well prepared when that time comes.

[Now that he mentioned it, the Thanksgiving apocalypse has also only come after the holiday was over.]

[fineinthefire]

Good for you then. Hopefully you're not the only one.

[That's a lie. You should see his basement. Ever since the Thanksgiving attack he's been preparing for the worst every day.]

Re: [Phone]

[answerer_sword]

[Bazett also has some supplies in the basement, but not enough to prepare for the worst every day.]

I am sure that enough of the other residents have made preparations. There seem to be many people experienced in dealing with chaotic events here.

I am simply ensuring good luck for the new year. However, it seems I lack the proper bread.

[From the sound of her accent, the woman is Scottish. So she should at least have heard to the ritual, if not seen it.]
