...The weather's been kind of bad, hasn't it?

[Namine sighs. Since get stuck inside to hide from the storm and portaling her way home, she feels a little restless, and a lot of cold. Her first time experiencing winter and she feels frozen inside.]

I heard at school, before the snow came, that there's another New Years. It's different though, and

I never heard of anything like that! What other animals are there?

[linkings]

Um, there's a dog, a rooster, tiger... [Continuing on.]

[quackery]

Wow, that's a lot! That's really interesting.

[linkings]

Yeah. It's kind of interesting that they're all different.

You're talking about the big thing down at the mall tonight?

It's like a new-new year. So many the luck's just starting up late, in this one.

Hey...you're not getting sick, are you?

[Voice]

[linkings]

Mmm. Some girls were talking about it and getting ready for it at school. But maybe that's what they were talking about.

Maybe. I think a lot of people could use more luck right now though, with everything that's been going on...

[She's got no sniffles, but definitely is huddled under the covers of her bed and still feels a little cold.]

I-I don't think so. I don't even know if I can get sick...

If we can get down to the stadium station- if they've dug out that far... I could take you to the mall tonight? We could find something there for good luck?

[Voice]

[linkings]

Ah! W-we don't have to, if you don't want to. It's still kind of cold out and... it might snow again...

[Even though the thought of going out does sound like fun.]

[Voice]

[summing_it_up]

Huh. That's interesting. Dragons and luck don't really mesh so well together in my experience. And I find this and the most recent stuff going on highly coincidental now that you mention it.

[Voice]

[linkings]

You're... used to dragons? [The only one at home was Mushu, and... he's more like a lizard. Or compact-sized.]

What kind of recent stuff? Or do you mean things like the buildings and the storm?

[Voice]

[summing_it_up]

Yeah. Had to deal with them almost every day back at home, but that was normal.

[He says this almost nonchalantly, but he tries easing up on that.]

I meant the buildings and the storm. And honestly not the best 'welcome back' surprises I've experienced.

[Voice]

[linkings]

That... must have been scary.

Ah, no, it's hasn't been. Usually, it's not this bad, so...

Hopefully, it'll get better.

[pullsheavendown]

It'll get luckier.

You feeling okay?

[Brainsis, you need a thicker sweater.]

[linkings]

I hope so, but I don't know. It's not a good start.

I'm okay... just cold.

[She needs a thicker everything. This stick of a girl isn't ready for super cold weather.]

[pullsheavendown]

Joe's got some extra sweatshirts in our room. You should go borrow one.

[It'll definitely be big enough.]

[linkings]

Would that be okay?

[She's so unaware that dating gives her 'wearing your bf's clothing' privileges.

Definitely big enough. She'll be swimming in it.]

[mirroredmemory]

You know what'll warm you right up? Hot chocolate. I think we've got some cocoa powder in the cupboard.

How do you suppose they go around choosing what animals to make the years into?

[voice]

[linkings]

Hmm, I'll look in the kitchen in a little bit for it. Thank you, Xion.

I'm not sure. I don't know much about it, just overheard some people talking about it. There must be some reason they were chosen though.
