Radiant Garden

all over town

[nachtstar.livejournal.com]

Ari let out a breath, childishly sticking out her tongue to catch a snowflake or two. While it wasn't her favorite holiday, Christmas always had brought at least a little joy to her life in the payment of candy canes. And presents. Two of her rather guilty pleasures.
Ari hummed carols under her breath and went to wander aimlessly, vaguely hoping to bump into someone.

[seolearo.livejournal.com]

Somewhere along the line, Ari would find herself the victim of a flying tackle.

Ray laughed, pushed herself back up and offered a hand to her friend. "Merry Christmas," she said with a broad smile. As she looked around, she commented, "Man, there's so much snow! Have you ever seen this much before?!"

It was a stupid question, considering, but that didn't matter. What mattered was that it was there, and it was awesome.

[nachtstar.livejournal.com]

Which created a awkward gurgle of a strangled carol before Ari was introduced to the snow face first.

Aru shook herself off after standing, making a face at Ray. "Merry Christmas to you too." She looked around as well, a grin forming again at just how much of it. "Nope! New York never had this much." She said cheerfully. "And if we did, it was either ice by morning and or icky dirty slush."

And it was awesome. It was so awesome that Ari was using aero to dump more snow on Ray and running for her life.

Rainbow's End

[songbird9.livejournal.com]

The great house of the Refugees was vibrantly decorated (minus mistletoe, since Mabry had been concerned about the babies eating it). Song, for her part, had spent a couple hours the day before running all about with various decorations, spreading them throughout the building, adding to what had already been set up by others.
And when it came to Christmas decorations, Song liked to improvise...
One of her toy horses was set in front of a small ceramic sleigh that held candy. Meanwhile, a stuffed dragon perched among the branches of the tree. Similar things had been done in each public room, and Song was rather proud of herself.

Currently, though, she was curled up on on end of her favorite couch in the front room, nursing a mug of apple cider and waiting patiently for company.

[epauranonavere.livejournal.com]

Josiah looked out the window of an adjoining room as the snow continued to fall outside, barely able to see past the huge front yard. At this rate, Radiant Garden was going to have more of a white Christmas than anyone probably liked. He frowned at the idea of shoveling, wondering if he had a memory of a useful spell to obliterate the snow.

After a moment, he smiled slightly. Well, at least it was still pretty enough. It would be better once the snow would stop falling.

He headed towards the front room, pausing when he saw Song. He then glanced at her improvised decorations and raised an eyebrow. "Been having fun, I see."

[songbird9.livejournal.com]

She gave him an immensely contented and rather smug look, then made a small gesture for him to join her on the sofa.

"You should have seen the 'suspended globs of chaos' I used to make back on Earth. It's all about randomness arranged artfully~"

Ash showed up with Sora on her arm and a plate of home made fudge. Somewhere in her heart was the vain hope she could possibly be a lady as opposed to an academic for once.

Re: Rainbow's End

[a-total-sap.livejournal.com]

Sora looked around, remembering when he had been here just yesterday, attempting to decorate the tree.

"Hello? Anyone here?"

Re: Radiant Garden

[lostscore.livejournal.com]

Being a researcher, Ash's time and space was limited to the quiet of Radiant Garden's epic library.

But it was Christmas. Christmas was a time of peace and joy, beautiful hymns and presents and rum and egg based drinks. Time to go celebrate the season OUTSIDE the library!

Heck, if she didn't see anyone she knew, she could always treat herself to Christmas dinner.

throwing on her coat and hat she headed into town.

Re: Radiant Garden

[a-total-sap.livejournal.com]

Speaking of egg-based drinks, Sora had somehow finally managed to wheedle one from Tifa. Sure, she probably hadn't liked the idea of giving Sora anything with even the slightest traces of alcohol in it, but Sora had been insistent - he wanted to see what all the fuss was about.

So far, so good. He had to take off his mittens to handle the cup properly, and had settled for a straw for pure convenience. He decided about one sip in that he really, really, really liked eggnog and had continued on his way through the snow-covered streets of Radiant Garden.

Around five minutes later, he spotted a familiar figure walking through the ever growing snow drifts.

"Hey Ash!" he called, waving cheerfully.

Re: Radiant Garden

[lostscore.livejournal.com]

Ash smiled and waved. "Sora! Wasn't quite expecting to see you! Enjoying the holiday season, are you then? I was sort of thinking of heading round Rainbow's End for a visit. I don't suppose you'd like to join me in picking a few gifts and such up for the journey? I made fudge for whoever shows up. Not the easiest task over a hotplate but I think I managed alright."

She fished a bit out of her purse and offered it to Sora. "taste tests are always allowed when it comes to sweeties.'

Grumping around town

[thirteenth_brat]

Roxas couldn't place his feeling of unease. It wasn't outright concern that something was definitely going to happen. He already knew something was going to happen, it was just a question of what would happen and when and whether or not they could handle it. Over the top optimism was not his strong point. That was Sora's schtick. Knowing that there was a threat lurking around somewhere made it a little difficult to relax and enjoy the peace and quiet.

Not that this was the only thing on his mind as he wandered around town, but it didn't stay down for long when he tried to think of something else. The only other thing on his mind was whether or not he really wanted to be out and about. He had considered staying in with some tea or hot chocolate and a book, but that made it too easy for people to find him and bother him.

No matter where he went, though, he took care to avoid all the damned sprigs of mistletoe some weirdo had placed all over town. Honestly, where had such a weird tradition come from? Not that he would have complained if Kairi cornered him under one of the sprigs, but that was a little beside the point.

No grumping when Sora's around

[a-total-sap.livejournal.com]

"Roxas!" a cheerful voice called from less than a block away. A heavily-clothed figure was waving at him somewhat clumsily before making its way towards him. To be fair, Sora had learned his lesson from the snowball fight a few weeks previous and was dressed in exactly one less layer than he had been that day.

But he still looked like a walking Gap commercial. With zippers. Lots and lots of zippers.

He'll grump no matter who's around if he's in the mood to grump.

[thirteenth_brat]

However grumpy or generally antisocial Roxas was feeling, Sora dressed in winter clothing remained a hilarious sight since he tended to over do it on the layers. In fact, if Sora was wearing one less layer, Roxas probably couldn't tell. He simply waved back, stifling a snicker and wishing he had a camera.

"It can't be that cold," he remarked as Sora drew closer.

On the way to Rainbow's End

[rox-chan.livejournal.com]

The streets were quiet, and Rox was taking her time walking down the street toward Rainbow's End. Everyone was inside; most of the shops in the Marketplace were closed. Once, it would have felt scary. Now, though, it was nice. She felt comfortable, felt...at home.

It made her glad that she had decided to stay for Christmas, even though she felt a pang at the thought of her real home. She had let them down - her grandparents, mother, sister, friends, but...going back wouldn't make things better. Not now.

She shivered for a moment, trying to wrap her coat tighter around her (which was useless, since it was already zipped) before continuing, trying to pay at least a little bit of attention to where she was going.

whereever Sora is idk

[rikugasmic.livejournal.com]

Not too far from where Sora had found Roxas, Riku was leaning against a wall, thinking about nothing in particular. The cup of hot cocoa in his hands was getting very cold very fast, but he didn't mind too much - it was almost gone, anyway.

He liked Christmas, really. Though he would've been even happier if they could have stayed on the Islands, he was thankful enough that things were quiet for the moment. He was content with being able to spend the the holiday with his friends.

After gulping down the last of his cocoa, he looked at Sora and Roxas once again, deciding to leave them alone for now.

[le-king.livejournal.com]

King Mickey came walking along with a red sack of gifts tossed over his shoulder, cheerfully humming "We Wish You a Merry Christmas." He paused when someone crossed his path, glancing up to see who it was. He immediately broke into a bright smile.

"Merry Christmas, Riku! I've got something for ya!" He set down the sack and dug for a minute, finally producing two small boxes, both wrapped in green paper and silver ribbon. The mouse held them up for Riku. "Here ya go!"

SOMEWHERE IN TOWN

[harpie-siren.livejournal.com]

[Greta was wandering around the town looking at how it was decorated for Christmas. Whatever odd looks she got from the locals she just ignored. They just didn't seem to get the idea of a Santa hat with mouse ears attached]

[le-king.livejournal.com]

Mickey had kept on strolling through town, humming his song, until he saw Greta, one of the last people on his list. He chuckled at her hat and walked up to her.

"Hiya, Greta," he greeted. "Nice hat!"

He put down the sack he'd been carrying and dug through it a bit, finally pulling out two good-sized presents wrapped in gold with red ribbons and handing them to her.

"Merry Christmas!"

Seventh Heaven

[preminumheart.livejournal.com]

Tifa hummed as she mixed the latest batch of Eggnog - something a lot of her usual's had been enjoying lately. She eyed the rest of the bar, the minimum decorations adding a slight festive touch to the space.

Glancing up to the mistletoe hidden in the dimly lit rafters, she smiled slightly to herself and went to open the bar for the day.

Rainbow's End- kitchen

[ariakitsune.livejournal.com]

Aria was just hidingsitting with a hot cup of tea. She felt a bit guilty that she hadn't thought to get anyone gifts.

So, she was just avoiding everyone else for the moment and trying not to bring anyone down with her moping.

[Kairi wandered, no real goal in mind. She was enjoying the snow, smiling at everyone who was as well. It was cold, but her jacket was warm and she had a container of hot chocolate with her.]

/visits everyone lalala

[le-king.livejournal.com]

Mickey wandered along her path, stopping when he saw her. He pulled two small boxes wrapped in red paper with thin green ribbons and held them up for her, saying, "Merry Christmas, Kairi!"

Middle of the Night, Christmas Eve, Rainbow's End

[belegwen.livejournal.com]

It was now uncommon for Mabry to be up at three a.m. For the past several months, Ashlyn had been in the habit of sleeping through the night and so, blessedly, had Mabry. But tonight, she was up at dead of night, tiptoeing through the dark hallways of Rainbow's End.

She giggled quietly, as she made her way to the main living room and thence to the the many stockings that hung all around the enormous fireplace. Finding the correct stocking--Josiah's, she began to fill it, stuffing it completely with feathers of all shapes, sizes, and colors.

Then, her mischief accomplished, she slipped back up the stairs to bed, an impish smile still on her face.
