[Red-head poking. She sounds like she 'might' have been drinking earlier with friends.]

No apologizing. It's a rule. We agreed?

Oh, hello miss Samantha!

[samantha_grey]

Hey oh eternally apologizing one. Hadn't talked since the world was 'sposed to end. You doing ok?

[She had a plan she was going to set into motion right before the festival. A very embarrassing one for him.]

[trouser_chimp]

I'm all right. I was thinking of making an announcement about the re-opening of Ayami's shop soon. And you?

[Well considering how much he already embarrasses himself...]

[samantha_grey]

[True... but she had said she would try to set him up. What better time than mistletoe time?]

I'm fairly good. Re-opened Pinch a few days ago, after the fighting, and I've been busy getting the stock back in order mostly, checking in with folks. Drinking crappy tea.

[trouser_chimp]

[Any time. Never time. OH GOD-]

It seems like things are slowly getting back to normal.

[samantha_grey]

[Yep. Upside: She's not planning to be anywhere near the mistletoe.]

Yeah, or at least as normal as it ever gets around here.

[trouser_chimp]

Was I insulting the sake of normalcy around here?!

[samantha_grey]

No, wait, what, why?!?

[Yep, that broke her a little.]

[trouser_chimp]

I KNEW IT, I CAN'T EVEN HELP RETURN THINGS TO NORMAL BECAUSE I'M SO ABNORMAL! NO ONE CAN EVER KNOW COMMONPLACE NORMALCY BECAUSE OF MY EXISTAAANCE!

[c'mon, grey, you had to know it happens at least once a conversation.]

[samantha_grey]

[She did. She'd been hoping to escape that just once. Reaching up and pinching her nose, she groaned.]

If anyone's the cause of a lack of normalcy in this room, it's me. You're so normal it's predictable.

No, everything's fine Ritsu. It's ... good to see you're still energetic.

[trouser_chimp]

[Sniffle sniffle.]

Oh... thank you. I suppose spreading misery is my normal way.

[samantha_grey]

Well, really more being miserable than spreading misery. What have you been up to otherwise?

[trouser_chimp]

I have been trying to stay out of everyone's way, though I can only go so far...

[samantha_grey]

Waste of energy. You're not going to hide from them all, so just make do. That's my suggestion here

[trouser_chimp]

If only I could hide away from them all...

[samantha_grey]

Yeah... it won't work here. I found that out when I got here, so you're going to have to get used to being around them, Ritsu.

[trouser_chimp]

I feel so sorry for everyone...

[samantha_grey]

Don't feel sorry for me. I'm coping. It's... awkward at points, but I'm coping.

[trouser_chimp]

I'm sorry for my pity!

[samantha_grey]

... apology accepted. [Trying a new tactic.] Still, there's a lot here who aren't happy to be here at all. Hopefully something good comes for them or they don't have to stay too long.

[trouser_chimp]

Life is indeed difficult... I hope the winter holidays can lift some spirits...

[samantha_grey]

At the very least, folks can play in the snow. I've missed doing that for a bit.

[trouser_chimp]

Oooh, seeing all the children play in the snow, that will be so cute!

[samantha_grey]

Yeah, I suppose we've got a few kids around here. Maybe they can finally have some fun.
