[Happy New Year Event]

[duelacademynpcs]

*Today's the first of the new year. It's pretty chilly outside, but the cold is no excuse to not partake in normal traditions like going to a shrine and praying for a good year.

So, there's a shrine in Domino. Maybe not as extensive as some outside of the city, but it's fairly nice, and it's pretty much bustling given the day. There's some stalls set up serving some Seasonally Appropriate Foods as well. You can go up and give an offering at the shrine itself, or go and pull a fortune from the omikuji.

Also girls and those otherwise who may want to do so might want to wear a kimono, if they have one. It's traditional.*

::Eren meanwhile is checking out seasonally appropriate food, looking rather pleased and content with the Omikuji fortune in hand. She's got on a nice but fairly standard New Year's Kimono.::

*one of your co-workers is nearby, looking around for something-- but through the whole crowd that's going through the shrine, it's hard to tell what he's looking for.

And he really looks like being here, he definitely knows he's out of his element...*

[crimsoncryptid]

::... Toddles over to you.::

Are you looking for something... Yamada-san was it?

[thestudyof]

Yes, sorry. That's me.

*he shakes his head slightly*

I lost track of where my nephew is, thanks to this crowd. I'm sure I'll find him eventually.

[crimsoncryptid]

Hrm, I'm not busy, so maybe I could help you?

[thestudyof]

Are you sure? If it isn't a bother, or anything.

[crimsoncryptid]

All I was considering doing was scooping some Goldfish and trying some snacks, honestly.

So. No biggie?

[thestudyof]

*... ah.*

Fine, then. If you want to help, I don't mind the assistance.

Have you ever met my nephew?

[crimsoncryptid]

Not. Directly.

But I assume he looks like you?

[thestudyof]

Some may say there's a striking similarity.

Only he still looks like he has himself together.

[crimsoncryptid]

As opposed to who?

::It seems she thinks you have yourself together.::

[thestudyof]

Me. Definitely me.

[crimsoncryptid]

::Slaps her forehead.::

Trust me, you have yourself together. At least more than me, Yamada-san.
