Meanwhile, outside of the parties...

[chozo_girl]

And while the rest of the Chalice celebrates in loud parties, in the Arboretum, Samus sits, crosslegged and with closed eyes, under the biggest tree. As she usually does, in fact - people may have already started to grow accustomed to seeing her there, really. One wonders when the hell this woman sleeps, given the amount of time she spends there.

Haha I have a icon for him as well

[Here's Ichitaka taking a small break from the insanity that was currently going on. Although he really is in the spirit of things. He's brought a piece of cake for you.]

Hey Samus, I figured I would find you in here.

Re: Haha I have a icon for him as well

[chozo_girl]

[Samus opens her eyes and looks at Ichitaka]

Yes. It is a good place to be.

[thestrayhawk]

I guess being a solo bounty hunter means you aren't used to this sort of thing are you.

[Handing over the plate to Samus Ichitaka seems to be a bit more happy than usual.]

Hope you don't mind but I thought you'd at least want something to eat.

[chozo_girl]

Indeed. I rarely attend festivals. [She then seems to think a bit, and smiles ever so slightly, with a hint of irony] Though they would not have been likely to allow me in, in any case.

[She then looks at the cake with a certain curiosity. But she decides to accept it for what it is, and takes it with a nod]

I ate yesterday, so I did not particularly need it. But thanks. [...wait, what?]

[2hell_weride]

Hey girlie! [[Man enough to still call her girlie, despite who he's talking to!]]

[chozo_girl]

[Samus opens her eyes and nods in acknowledgement, returning the greeting wordlessly.

And thankfully, the "girlie" thing doesn't seem to bother her all that much :P]

[2hell_weride]

'Cha doin out here all by yourself?

Hey, nobody here cares if you're an alien or just from another planet.

Come hang out. I'm runnin all the Christmas episodes I can find.

[chozo_girl]

Thinking. This is a good place to think.

[The last part ofMarKus's words merits a raised eyebrow. Samus does not really parse what "hang out" means, and she doesn't understand Christmas beyond the fact that it's a festival - so she has no idea what "Christmas episodes" means]

[saikyocivrobo]

Not a fan of loud parties, are we?

[chozo_girl]

[Samus opens her eyes to look at Werter. She nods]

Festivals are important for a people to have. But right now I prefer to stay here.

[saikyocivrobo]

I can't argue with that. I don't particularily enjoy crowds stuffing themselves into a small room, being loud and getting drunk either.

[chozo_girl]

[Samus nods]

I am given to understand many humans enjoy alcohol intoxication greatly, so they incorporate it in their celebrations. Different cultures have different standards. [Samus mentions this rather conversationally. Though the way she speaks of humans in sort-of-third person may be a tad telling]

[emorangerpink]

Oh - hello, Samus.

[Quietly, because the setting seems to call for quiet. And since Laura's here to decompress now that Loraine's party has used up her energy for dealing with people, quiet suits her just fine.]

Do you mind if I sit here, too?

[After the party, before the hangar.]

[chozo_girl]

[Samus simply nods and gestures at Laura to sit down. Why would she mind?]

[emorangerpink]

[Laura simply sits. Samus' presence provide a comforting sense of having someone there without any sense of awkwardness or pressure to speak, and she relaxes in to it.]

[chozo_girl]

[Indeed, Samus quickly perceives that what Laura needs right now is peace, and so she doesn't ask questions, simply staying there until Laura decides to speak]

Kensuke walks by, with his camera pressed to his face, running about trying to get as much of the festivities on film as he can. But it's wearing him out. Kensuke's never really participated in Christmas, so he's not really sure what to do. As he wanders past where Samus is sitting, he turns and starts to film here to.

[chozo_girl]

[No reaction for now. Samus may be one of the few females Kensuke has ever met who are not bothered by some guy filming them out of nowhere :P. In a skintight bodysuit no less. She just seems to irradiate peace]

[my_time2_shine]

"Hey, hey smile for the camera! Do you want to say anything to the people of the future?" He was all up in her grill with that stupid camera, through it's eyue peice he found himself checking out just of beautiful was really was.

Now thats a real woman. he thought to himself.

[chozo_girl]

[Samus opens her eyes and looks at Kensuke and his camera. It must be said that from up close and under the gaze of those steel eyes, Samus is kind of pretty damn terrifying, emitting a distressing feeling of danger that goes straight to the lizard brain. But thankfully, right now she seems calm.

She doesn't smile, though. Instead, she shakes her head]

Warriors are not for words. There is not much I can tell to those living in the future, except "Good Luck".
