thirty-sixth breath ✧ voice

[musubi]

So I know not everyone is from a place that celebrates Christmas and all - hell, I hardly celebrated it - but I was just thinking that it might be nice to have some sorta big decorated tree in the center of town like they have in some cities, you know? Have everyone add their own little decoration and it could be just a general holiday thing.

Of course someone who's not as lazy as me would have to organize it, because there's no way I'd be able to pull it off.

[musubi]

Do you have to put it that way?

[Action]

[ledbythewind]

I supposed I could have softened the blow...

[Action]

[musubi]

You could have, but you wouldn't have.

[Action]

[ledbythewind]

Am I that obvious?

[Action]

[musubi]

You are super obvious. Always.

[ledbythewind]

[Richard will just take the pom-pom on the end of the Santa hat and bop Isamu in the face with it, like a mature adult.]

[Action]

[musubi]

[Isamu blows at it, but it just falls back onto his face again.]

[Action]

[ledbythewind]

[Which draws a laugh from Richard, though he finally has mercy on his friend and reaches out to move it out of the way.]

There are worse people I could end up stuck under the mistletoe with.

[Action]

[musubi]

Of course there are!

... Doesn't mean it has to be us again, all the same.

[Action]

[ledbythewind]

You would prefer a cute girl, of course. Maybe a redhead?

[He knows you, Isamu. He also knows that's exactly why the Malnosso will make sure that Isamu only ends up under the mistletoe with other guys.]

[Action]

[musubi]

[A redhead... Does he know??

... No, there's no way. He hasn't used that disguise in some time.]

Always. But you know how this place is.

[Sigh.]

[Action]

[ledbythewind]

Yes, unfortunately for us. I wonder how many girls I'll have to kiss this year...

[He got lucky and was spared that fate last year, but he sure as heck doesn't expect his luck to hold for two years in a row.]

[Action]

[musubi]

[Isamu snorts.]

I'm sure they'll be forming a line.

[Action]

[ledbythewind]

I could always try having you stand next to me so that the two of us could switch partners.

[Action]

[musubi]

Do you really think that would work?

[Action]

[ledbythewind]

I didn't think it mattered who kissed whom just as long as kissing occurred underneath the mistletoe. It would at least be worth a try, if nothing else.

[Action]

[musubi]

Duping the mistletoe...

You know, I think they might just curse us twice as hard for that.

[Action]

[ledbythewind]

You're assuming that their primary objective is something more than just entertainment.

[Action]

[musubi]

You don't think extra punishment would be entertainment for them?

[Action]

[ledbythewind]

That would depend on the type of punishment.

[Action]

[musubi]

Do you know something about their tastes I don't?

[Action]

[ledbythewind]

[Richard shakes his head, grinning.]

Merely conjecture based on their past habits where mistletoe is concerned.

[Action]

[musubi]

I must not pay enough attention to their habits, then. Better work on that.

[Action]

[ledbythewind]

Either that or resign yourself to not leaving our room for a week, give or take a few days.

[Action]

[musubi]

Well... It wouldn't be the first time.
