[Hello Vatheon.

If you wander past the plaza at all today, you will find something a little funny about it.

And by a little, I mean a lot.

For you will see Matthew and Saya piecing together what seems to be...a gingerbread village. Wait, no, that's not entirely right.

It appears to be a gingerbread model of Vatheon (not quite to scale); stray pieces of gingerbread and cartons of frosting lie scattered around, even as Matthew lies on his stomach and carefully puts a roof onto one of the apartments.

What do you mean they're out of season? These two certainly don't seem to care.]

Hey, Saya, can you hand me the blue frosting?

[ravenly]

[Luckily for them, Rue is graceful enough not to step on any part of the mini bubble when she approaches. She even looks mildly amused, observing as she tries to pick out the various parts of the city.]

I like it.

[And she's actually found the blue frosting, too. Or at least that's what it's labeled as. She decides to grab it and hand it over to Matthew, since it looked like Saya was occupied with working on her own part of the city...

But, well, who knows what that girl is up to.]

[redcloakedthief]

[Ahaha, he grins and accepts that, nodding his thanks.]

Thanks, Rue. That helps.

[... And then he looks up at her, arching an eyebrow.]

Oh, you look happier. Did your prince come back?

[ravenly]

[She gives a bit of a smile to say "You're welcome," shrugging like it's no big deal. And then she raises an eyebrow herself, hearing him say that.]

...You could tell, then.

[Surprised for a moment, but. Well, yeah, he is a spy.]

[redcloakedthief]

[Ha.

He just turns his attention back to his masterpiece.]

I saw him on the network.

He seems like a nice guy; he compliments you well.

[The colorschemes. He's just being tongue-in-cheek now.]

[straying]

[She's up to tying up a licorice rope.

Waving Rue over!]

Rue Rue, look at this!

[ravenly]

Hm?

[After speaking with Matthew for a bit, she sees Saya trying to get her attention, and she casually walks over; still being careful not to knock anything over. She peers at the licorice—

What'cha got there?]

[aspiring]

[...]

You guys just can't do something without dragging the entire city into it, can you?

[redcloakedthief]

[...s n e r k.]

That's a good one, Billy!

Come on, help us out here.

[aspiring]

[He eyes the gingerbread.]

Geez, making me stoop down to your level?

[redcloakedthief]

[Ha!]

Oh just come on; you know how to have fun, right?

[straying]

Not dragging the entire sitting- building it!

[aspiring]

Draggin the entire populace, then. Is that better, Saya-chan?

[severing]

[Brb munching on one of those stray pieces of gingerbread—]

What are you guys gonna do with all this afterwards?

[redcloakedthief]

[Caaaarefully lowering that roof onto that gingerbread building.]

I was kind of thinking about seeing how long it'd take for Vatheon to be destroyed.

[severing]

... Wow. Morbid.

[redcloakedthief]

[He just laughs, looking up now that the roof is safely on.]

Actually, it's normal. I've seen Vatheon destroyed enough times by now.

[straying]

... well I think you're already a step ahead of us.

[severing]

Not like you don't have plenty lying around.

[xthecorvus]

[ Funny. No kidding. Judging by the scent, it's no exactly the most high glass gingerbread. But it catches this demon's attention long enough to give it a slight pause and a look see.

Kids. ]

Quite the project that seems to be shaping up here.

[straying]

[Looking over her shoulder from the licorice rope she's making!]

I have to admit that it's highly labor intensive.

[xthecorvus]

Indeed.

[ Still just inspecting their work. Gotta admit, it's not every day you catch sight of a couple of people on a major scale project like this. ]

And if I may ask? Just what possessed you both to undertake such an endeavor?

[redcloakedthief]

[um excuse you, demon, he's an adult.]

Yes yes, that's the plan.

Whatever occupies time is a good enough project.

[xthecorvus]

[ Hey when you're over 400 years old, everyone's a kid. ]

It certainly seems so... though, if I may be so bold as to ask just what inspired such a project?

[straying]

No.

[SO BLUNT-

but she's working on tying together licorice so.

forgiven??]

[redcloakedthief]

[...HE GUESSES SHE CAN BE FORGIVEN though not without the parting shot of--]

Wow you're helpful today, Saya.

[FINDING IT HIMSELF OKAY.]
