- forty-third year waiting -

How does everyone plan on celebrating Christmas here? Has the castle ever had a, uh--a normal one?

Last year--the only one I've spent here--it was mental. Literally. Everyone had these really... vivid dreams, and I think we could, you know, dream-hop or something. Visit other peoples' dreams. And then--[sigh]--the castle turned into a Jane Austen novel or something, and it all ended when everyone turned into these tiny toy versions of ourselves inside a dollhouse or something, and we all got chased out by giant rats. I think. I just remember a lot of running.

Is something nice and normal and, well... normal too much to ask for? Just a plain regular Christmas?

[Rory is currently in the library looking at picture books, trying to get ideas for Christmas decorations and tree trimmings for his and Amy's room to wish for. A half-forgotten mug of hot coca is sitting on a nearby table. Come join him!]

I guess it depends on what you mean by normal. Even back home, I'm not unused to strange occurrences around the holidays.

is LJ done being a jerk now? -_-

[nurse-boy.livejournal.com]

Well, just... normal. You know. Nothing bad happening, just family and presents and having a good time.

[luthored.livejournal.com]

Then no. Well, kissing happens every year at least.

That sounds like it was scary...

>((I hate LJ.))

It was bloody annoying, is what is was.

[hard-talker.livejournal.com]

Heh, you forgot about the giant living game of Candy Land.

((sorry for the delay, LJ's been acting like crap))

Oh. Right, yeah. Maybe I just... blocked that part from my memory.

[Some shuffling. Sniffing. And then, an alarmed yelp and a clatter. If Rory turns around, he'll find a little black dragon on the table, smacking his lips and giving a grumbly sort of noise of complaint. Also, hot chocolate is spilled all over the table and all over the ground as well.

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to put two and two together.]

((sorry for the late tag! LJ's been acting up for me))

[Rory yelps too at the clatter, and spins around, dropping the book he's holding. When he sees the tiny dragon next to his spilled cocoa, his shoulders sag and he makes an annoyed-sounding whine]

Oh come on now, what did you do that for?

Normal is overrated. [Suddenly a little red-head on the other side of the table! She's holding a book that looks way too thick for someone her age.]

Though I'd rather the castle keep it's nose out of other people's business. Like mine.

((sorry for the late reply! LJ was acting up for me))

[Rory jumps a little at the unexpected voice, and turns to face the table. Oh, hello small ginger thing. He frowns at what she says]

Er. Well... yeah, everyone does, probably.

I heard there are kissing birds. [ This is just a fact. ]

Kissing birds?

[he doesn't exactly sound excited]

...You mean like, literal kissing birds? Birds that kiss you.
