Gyaaah, I'm really sorry that they're so late! But...

[He holds a batch of cupcakes to the camera.]

I finally made them! I tried another batch earlier but, they were... They kind of tasted funny, and when I went to throw them out, a group of homeless people sort of, kind of... Well, at least they didn't hurt me?A-ah! Anyway, happy new year to

They tasted funny? Did you use the wrong ingredients?

Those ones look all right to me - what kind are they? [ .. he's scared of a grocery store line - well okay, she will grant. It's a little unnerving the way they mob the place. ]

I've never heard of the New Years Resolution as a holiday, but I don't see why it wouldn't be okay to have more than one.

Um, I might of spilled and b-broken a few things...

Oh! That's good! Because I have a lot.

[ A brief wince. A little bit of a butterfingers, Hanatarou? ]

You didn't hurt yourself did you?

[ And a small laugh. ] Do you really? What sort of things are they?

[be_gentlexx]

Not r-really! Maybe a little bit...

Well... I think I need to gain more confidence, and I also want to learn how to make sweets better! But those are only a few things.

[There were a couple of other resolutions he wanted to keep to himself.]

[The familiar face caught her attention, as the shinigami looked over the open network. She knew him, the young medic from the Fourth Division.]

You are here as well, Hanatarou-kun.

[be_gentlexx]

[So many shinigami! He... He needed to go out and see how many there actually were. Was her captain with her?]

D'oh!

[Strange. Most people forgot his name.]

Um... Yes? I-It's nice to meet you!

[Pause.]

I... I really meant "see you..." Sorry.

[nemu_doll]

[She did not speak much, but she remembered well those she observed from behind Mayuri.

Quietly, she watched him fumble with his words--a familiar sight.]

When were you taken by the Core?

[be_gentlexx]

Oh! Um, a couple of months ago! Before there was snow and cold.

[thelittlestbub]

Hey, Hanatarou? I'm going out in a bit, but need to have a list.

Re: [Voice]

[be_gentlexx]

Uwah! I'm so sorry! Are we out of flour? That's probably m-my fault...

Re: [Voice]

[thelittlestbub]

Hanatarou... [She's sounding rough and like she's spent a good part of the day crying. She just sighs.]

Hanatarou, if you want to bake, that's fine. I'm just going out shopping. Do we need anything?

Re: [Voice]

[be_gentlexx]

...

[There's a heavy pause, but Hanatarou finally asks.]

Jubilee-san, it's okay! You know, I can go shopping today! You don't have to tax yourself! Did... Did something happen?

[He's totally clueless.]

[holeheart]

Oh look. The little healer brat Shinigami!

Re: voice; 1/2

[be_gentlexx]

[There is just silence, and Hanatarou is paralyzed with fear.]

Re: voice;

[be_gentlexx]

[Very, very faintly:]

...Err, e-e-excuse me?

voice;

[holeheart]

Hanatarou... right? I'm no good with names, hehehe. Do you know who I am~?

[escapedpandora]

I think it's okay to have more than one new year resolution? I mean, they're good things, so having more than one should be okay!

Re: [voice]

[be_gentlexx]

Oh! That's good! I'm relieved! This place has so many fun traditions!

[escapedpandora]

Hmm, fun is one way of putting it, I guess. Christmas was nice! I'm not so sure about Halloween, though...

[be_gentlexx]

Y-you're right! Halloween was not fun! Just really scary...
