vatheon | Deck the halls?

Who: Cielo and the residents of

vatheon
Where: All over the bubble
When: The 16th
Style: Whatever you like
Status: Open!

[For the first week of the month, Cielo was asleep, deep in one of Vatheon's famous sleep comas. It was pretty disorienting to find out you've been unconscious for a week. Especially when you're used to sleeping just a few hours at a time. But he's since moved on from that.

It started when a local asked him for help hanging some Christmas lights on top of a building, a task easily accomplished when your demon has wings. And then another one wanted help. And then another. Suddenly, Cielo found himself as a one demon decorator. The locals started piling decorations on him and sent him on his way.

So right now there is a colorful winged demon loaded up with decorations flying around the bubble, decorating trees and buildings. He has various ornaments (many of them sea themed), garlands, strands of lights, and other decorations clutched with his feet and delicately in his jaws, being careful not to drop any of them as he flies around and sets them up according to instructions.

...one of the locals has even put a wreath around his neck. It looks rather silly.]

Sure! Decorating is always fun.

[She reaches out her arms for any decorations he wants to give her.]

[Excellent! It's nice to be the one unloading things onto someone else for once. Cielo descends and lands in front of Rinoa, and it's clear that there's no shortage of things she can take. In one hand, he has a basket of velvety red bows and he decides to hold it out to her. He's had to be careful to not let any of those things fall!]

[Oh, bows! Rinoa takes those happily, slinging the basket over her arm before looking around.]

So, where should these go, exactly? Or did they say to put them wherever?

They want me to tie them on the lamp posts on this street.

[He leans over so she can climb on.]

Works for me.

[This would be weird if she hadn't already done it before. Climb on his back, anyway. So with little hesitance she hops up, holding onto his shoulder with one arm while the other clutched the ribbons.]

[Excellent! It's been a while since he's carried someone on his back. He lifts off slowly and heads for the nearest bow-less lamp post]

[Always an odd experience, but by no means not fun. When they're close enough to the first lamppost, Rinoa takes a bow and tries to reach out to tie it around the post.

What she ends up doing is dropping the entire thing on Cielo's head.]

[To his credit, Cielo doesn't immediately freak out at the bow landing on his head. It gets caught on his demon's crest, hanging by a loop.]

Hmm?

Gah, sorry Cielo!

[Rinoa carefully picks it up and tries to tie it onto the lamppost again. This time ends much more successfully, with a moderately neat ribbon tied onto it.]

It's okay.

[He would comment on Rinoa's handiwork, but he literally cannot see it at the moment. It does make things a bit tedious with how much he has to switch between human and demon form to see everything.]

You ready to go to the next one?

Yep! Ready when you are!

[And making sure to hold on tight before he goes.]

[The next one is just a short distance away, so Cielo sees no reason to rush. He very gently just sort of floats over there.]

[Rinoa readies the next bow, and once the lamp is within reach, she ties it on without incident.]

How does it look?

[It hasn't occurred to her he can't see.]

[Now, if she had asked if it was crooked or something, he might have been able to tell simply by using his senses to detect its position.]

Dunno.

[And without further ado, it's on to the next one!]

Wha - hey!

[Rinoa has to grab on quick as he moves.]

[Rinoa doesn't have to hold on for long, fortunately. The next streetlight is just a short distance away.]

You were saying something?

Well, I kind of wanted your opinion on how it looked...

[STILL HASN'T OCCURRED TO HER, CIELO. SORRY. Meanwhile, she'll grumpily put on the next bow.]

I can't tell you that, sis.

[He turns his head towards her. See it now?]

But-

[.....

Oh. Well, that would

explain a lot.]

Oh, sorry. Ehehe... never mind then.

I'm sure it looks fine anyway.

[He doesn't care if they're a little crooked.]

Aww, thanks.

[You're so sweet, Cielo, even if you don't mean to be.]

Just a couple more of these to go, ja?

[You done with this one yet?]

That's good, because my arms are starting to get a little tired.

[Yes yes, it's done. She pats him on the shoulder to let him know she's finished.]

[They can finish the rest of the lamps now and do so.]

Thanks for your help.

No problem. It's kind of fun, really.
