[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!

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.]

Christmas...?

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?

That... one holiday?

[Luke that isn't very helpful by itself. ^^;]

Someone else I've met here [She's not sure you know Yellow, you see] mentioned Christmas. Is that it?

[She does know you've been here longer than her.]

[He does happen to know Yellow. But hey - ]

Yeah, that's it! Christmas! People put up lights on houses and trees to... to make it more festive, I guess.

[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.]

Yes, they are. I can't really tell where they're coming from though.

[Maybe it's the fontechist in her, but with this much light... there has to be some sort of mechanism, doesn't there...?]

Whatever they are, it's kind of a pain. I can't even figure out where the light is coming from.

From: [personal profile] moehealer
You mean since there aren't any wires or cords or anything?

[From where she is, she actually starts looking around herself to find them. ..yep, none. Weird.]

Well there are lots of strange things that happen here so... this could be one of them! People here can use magic, right?

[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.

So you haven't been able to find the source either?

[Given how she's curious as to how the light is being produced, this is quite relevant to her interests.]

They're just there. The only way to stop them is to break the bulbs.

From: [identity profile] albioreii.livejournal.com
I suppose that's possible...

[Sustaining light like that for so long, though, purely through magic? Perhaps it's something from a different world, then. Even on Auldrant, most lamps were created by heating fonstones until they glowed. You couldn't just make them appear out of nowhere and glow continually like that...]

They have to be drawing power from somewhere...

[Fontech may not be her area of expertise, but it's still something she's somewhat interested in. Family history, and all.]

Do you want them to turn off?

[She thinks they're pretty, but he seems more annoyed by the spectacle.]

They're probably just some kind of Shift, like everything else... [Well, it's not like he hasn't thoroughly studied light bulbs by now.] I guess they're fine. But what good is it if you can't do anything with them, right?

They're pretty, huh... Hold on a second, okay? I'll meet you outside!

[Even though he has no idea where she is. He's still going outside, though, as he reaches over without waiting for her reply to take the journal with him.]

Has anyone tried doing anything? Moving them?

Though I suppose there's not much one can do if you can't find the mechanism that operates them...

[Assuming they're run by technology at all.]

[Noelle realizes that after a split second.]

Wait, Luke-!

[But it's too late, he's already shut the journal. Oh well. She'll just... head in the direction of Community Housing 2, to see if she can meet him somewhere around there.]

[And so he rushes outside! At first, he's too enamored by the lights to really start looking for Noelle. They look like fon stones, tiny and lit up and... everywhere. And it looks so... neat, that he couldn't help grinning. Oh, he hopes Xion comes back in time to see this...

It's after that that he realizes he can't see Noelle anywhere. So, with embarrassment hanging over him, he slowly pulls out his journal again.]


Uh... Where are you right now?

Hm...it's a little early for an experiment. Perhaps they are what they appear to be; decoration.

moehealer: (Aren't these leaves pretty?)
From: [personal profile] moehealer
Yep, it could be! My other guess was candles but... that sounds kinda dangerous, and I don't think they'd be able to glow this brightly if that were the case.

If you're curious, you could always get up close and try to examine them! [Yellow would try this out if it weren't for the fact that she's short. 8|]

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

[It sounds like someone is going to need a bit of the Christmas cheer in the air soon, because she doesn't sound exactly thrilled. She did not enjoy 2010's Halloween.]
