Monthly Mingle Log

Is it that time of the month already?

...No, today is not the start of shark week.

The Station Master's taken precautions to make this month's mingle party nice and laid back, after that rather magnetic week. Today, locals are all over the Plaza starting to put up the decorations for this strange holiday known as "Christmas", and they're more than happy to cheerfully rope any foreigner who doesn't look too busy into helping them.

The food tables are back, albeit with more drink than food. Hot chocolate, gluhwein mulled wine, a huge bowl of fruit punch, you name it, it's there. Foodwise, there's snowflake shaped crackers with cheese and meats, shrimp cocktails, cups filled with green or red jelly, and plenty of cookies to go around.

Near the food tables are the two usual booths, one belonging to the Welcoming Committee, armed with all the information a newbie would want to know, and the other belonging to the Host Club, manned by all the male eyecandy you could ever need. Have they done something special for their booths this festive season? Better sashay their way and find out!

Walking around all the tables and booths is what looks to be a giant lobster(???) in a Santa suit handing out candy to anyone and everyone nearby. It seems the locals don't understand that it's "Santa Claus", not "Sandy Claws."

Finally, it looks like there's been a new addition to the plaza. Was that ice skating rink over there last night?? It certainly fits the theme, and the locals don't seem to be surprised. They'll even help you lace up those skates and take them for a spin. Bundle up and try not to fall too much!

[Shulk shakes his head.]

It's... probably not a good idea.

[It was okay to leave the Monado back in the Colony 9 lab; everyone knew each other and everyone knew about the Monado and what it had done to Dunban. It was safe to leave the Monado there. In Vatheon, though...]

Things could get dangerous if someone else handled it.

Oh, really?

[What kind of weapon is it...?]

I don't think anyone would take it, but, it's your weapon so I guess you know.
monadont: (what's the matter?)

[Shulk shakes his head again, before smiling.]

Everyone I've met has been a great help. I'm not worried about people taking it. It's just...

[He thinks about the time just recently, when Reyn had picked up the sword and had destroyed a good portion of his lab equipment. Shulk blinks, and turns his attention back to Rinoa, not realising his thoughts had wandered.]

The Monado isn't a normal weapon.
sorcery_fledgling: (oh?)

[personal profile] sorcery_fledgling 2012-12-28 09:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Not normal? How?

[It... looked a little weird, sure, but she's seen some strange weapons.]

Is it that dangerous?
monadont: (sounds great!)

[personal profile] monadont 2012-12-29 01:39 am (UTC)(link)
[Shulk shakes his head. It's a bit complicated.]

It can't cut people, if that's what you're worried about.

[The blade is perfectly capable of cutting through steel with ease though.]

It's just that most people can't control the Monado. I don't want any more accidents to happen.

[He gives Rinoa a sheepish shrug and says his next words in good humour.]

Last time, half the equipment in my lab got broken.

...Oh.

[A part of her is morbidly curious as to how that happened, but perhaps she shouldn't delve in too much. If he's not offering it up front, there may be a reason for that. Besides, if it can't hurt anyone, no big deal, right?]

Whoops?
monadont: (we'll be okay)

[personal profile] monadont 2012-12-31 09:41 am (UTC)(link)
[Shulk gives a small chuckle.]

Whoops is right.

[But hey they've been standing around chatting more than skating, sooooo... He taps the ice with one of his skates.]

So how do you change direction without falling over?
