[i_themagician]

If I have one complaint about the new year, it's that it's difficult to account for this month or so which falls between the start of Solar and Lunar New Years. The Solar New Year represents a fresh start, but it's seldom as advertised - all of the merry-making of December puts off the necessary change until the first few days of January. So, I

Quite a philosophical approach for the gap between the two dates. Personally, I could never stand to live with such emptiness for long, but the concept on New Years is to create fresh starts.

[i_themagician]

Indeed. Timing is everything, I suppose.

[seeking_heat]

Then the Deities have poor timing, for demanding this current task. Not much cleaning can be done when one can barely control himself.

Not that it matters to me.

[i_themagician]

Nor to me.

[inbetrayal]

Well, it's hardly fitting to have a party alone.

[i_themagician]

That's not a party; that's called, "drinking yourself silly." And I already have the intention of doing some of that.

[inbetrayal]

Touché. Though, the deities seem intent on having everybody do that in any case.

[i_themagician]

Four beers a day isn't even a start. Yes, I've taken note of the mandatory blood-alcohol levels. Will they present a problem for you?

[bright_shield]

It'd be a nice celebration to the opening of your new store as well. Which I've been meaning to swing by, sometime.

[i_themagician]

It would, wouldn't it? I didn't really plan things that way, but I suppose it does kind of work out.

Ah, I'd like to see you!

[bright_shield]

It's nice when things click together like that. So how has business been so far?

I don't feel much like partying, but-- I'll try to make it, barring any odd citywide occurances like my suddenly reappearing in the city for the first time for the fourth time in a row.

[i_themagician]

A bit slow, but not too much so. I wasn't expecting it to pick up quickly, to be honest.

Well, I think we can rule out seeing that curse again for at least a month.

[ooc: I meant to say earlier, but you guys can continue the thread. >> I just didn't have much of a way to SAY that. But, yeah, if Clow becomes actually relevant again I'll have him jump in or something idk. ]

[rockstar_otouto]

.. That's pretty deep. But I'm totally in for the other celebration.

[i_themagician]

Eheh. Well, good! Bring as many people as you can, as well. And I'll try and figure out where this is happening.

[rockstar_otouto]

I was talking to Yuuki-chan about a new years party and suggested the hot springs. Maybe we could have it there?

[i_themagician]

That might work.

[lyra_of_dust]

I will?

[i_themagician]

Will you?

[lyra_of_dust]

Yeah. Just don't expect me to drink any beer.

[i_themagician]

I won't.
