[An evening stroll for some fresh air outside the apartment reveals something a little bit different than what was expected, for Noelle. Lights, lights everywhere. On the trees, on the houses... it's like the village was suddenly lit up with several thousand fonstone lamps, like part of the Fon Belt itself had come down to illuminate the buildings.

She has to admit, she's a little confused. It seemed innocuous enough, yet so had those things at the top of their journals, a couple weeks ago. She flips open her journal]


Does anyone know what these lights are about? Are they another experiment?

They're Christmas lights! Or just lights for the holidays in general, but yeah!

I guess that must be something from another world.

[Because they don't have anything like that on Auldrant, that she knows of...]

They are beautiful.

Oh, do you not have Christmas where you come from?

It's a holiday and during the time of it, lots of people put out decorations like lights. They are really nice though, aren't they?

Lights...?

[And when Luke looks outside - sure enough, there are lights everywhere, even outside the window. He grins, and his voice might sound a bit far away, as he's busy pulling on a coat.]

No - Well, yeah, they might be some kind of experiment. But it's for that... one holiday! [Someone sure sounds excited about it, at least.]

[The cheer certainly seems to be affecting more than just a few people. Dist, also, had noticed the lights and his spirits seemed to lighten a little as well. The one time of year when the Malnosso showed some form of..."humanity". Or something close to it, at the least. He still has the first gift he ever received on that holiday - what was it called again?

And, strangely, where has he heard that voice before? It seems strangely familiar.]


Ah, yes...somewhat. However, I believe this is for a particular holiday around this year. [He glances at the responses and - there it is.] Christmas, yes. The gift-giving celebration.

[Or something like that. He doesn't know the details.]

[That voice... that voice makes her go quite quiet and still. By this point, she'd been told that Dist was also in Luceti, but she'd still never expected him to... speak to her so openly like this. She'd expected mainly, that she would avoid speaking to him and him to her, and she could get on with what she needed to do.

Her voice is very guarded, almost stiff.]


So I've been told.

[Sorry, Noelle, but Dist doesn't do well to remember less important people. or, you know...random hostages. Though the voice is getting more and more familiar by he second. Where has he heard it before? And the face is...is...

Oh.

Whoops.]

[AHEM. A-Adjusting his tie and glasses and vjvhdry--this is very awkward. Should he just...shut the journal? Maybe? P-Possibly. He already invited conversation though, so...fff. Damn.

Right. Okay! Maybe she...doesn't remember! Yes. He'll just. Pretend he never hit her over the head, held her hostage, stole the key element of her plane's mechanics, and threatened her life.

Yeah. Awesome plan.]


I-I-Indeed! [Dist laughs, nervously.] It's the one time where not very many ill circumstances occur to the population here. ...More or less, of course.

...So that's what's going on. It wouldn't be the first time...this sort of thing started with decorating. Ugh.

I have to say this is the first time I've seen this sort of thing. [The lights. They have a sort of midwinter holiday on Auldrant, though.]

From what I've heard, there supposed to be in celebration of a winter holiday on one of the other worlds.

[And now onto the technical aspects]

There doesn't seem to be any power source, or anything holding the in place either. They're just... there.
