[occulthymns]

As much as I dislike the gods... the snow has been around for a while. Back home it only ever lasted a couple days. Usually the trees didn't even drop their leaves.

That's one thing I miss. This place is nowhere near as green in the winter. I think it might be because the trees are smaller - a lot smaller - and there isn't nearly as much moss. Not that the trees here aren't nice, but Fuggum has trees bigger than entire human houses, and they're absolutely covered in moss and lichen and mushrooms. Now that I think of it, even the ground and giant mushrooms were covered in moss, too.

So... when is winter supposed to end in a place like this, anyway? Is the snow supposed to start melting soon or is it supposed to stick around for another month?

- Oh, and everyone better come to the concert Luka is organizing! It's coming up in a couple days at Draupnir, and it'll be really fun so no one has an excuse to not show up!

((Concert details are over here!))

So you're just too sociable for your own good? Or do you have an attention span that's too short for you to be able to keep yourself entertained?

[audio]

[vigilanteup]

Nope, just dealing with someone too thick to pick up I'm inviting them.

[Good job Euri A+.]

[audio]

[occulthymns]

I - I knew that! Acknowledging it would just be - too forward! Not subtle at all!

[Fucking smooth.]

[audio]

[vigilanteup]

[ He chuckles. ]

So is that a 'fine, I guess' or a 'no way, jerk'?

[audio]

[occulthymns]

[She can't exactly back down here, that would hurt her pride and this is public and oh god how stupid is she for not noticing?? And she calls herself a Witch...!]

... It's a fine, since I have nothing better to do.

[audio]

[vigilanteup]

So we have something in common. I'll pull up a map and meet you there.

[audio]

[occulthymns]

Sure, sure. I'll be waiting.

[audio]

[vigilanteup]

See you soon.

[ He clicks the audio off. To action? ]

[occulthymns]

[Sure!

It won't take too long for Euri to get out there, since she already lives in the park and works nearby. She's near the park entrance, damn fidgety because damnit she doesn't even know this guy's name or what he looks like or who he is and she's still entirely confused from the situations with Alastair and Pyro and oh god relationships are hard.]

[vigilanteup]

[ And here he comes; he left Repede at home, who was content to have a dognap while he ventured out to meet the locals! Since she's near the entrance, he'll go ahead and assume... ]

Sorry. I forgot to introduce myself before I hung up. Yuri Lowell.

[occulthymns]

... Um.

[Did he seriously just say Yuri?]

I'm... Euri. Taverna.

[And now she can't help wondering if her nickname is actually a guy's name (though it helps that this guy is surprisingly pretty for a guy).]

[vigilanteup]

Name twins.

[ He laughs! Yuri isn't the most common boy's name, anyway. ]

Nice to meet you.

[occulthymns]

[She rubs the back of her head awkwardly.]

Nice to meet you, too.

Mine's... just a nickname, but it's better than my full name.

[vigilanteup]

Yeah? So what is your full name? Not that I think anyone's gonna mix us up, but...

[occulthymns]

........ Euridice.

[That's said with a healthy amount of loathing. Ugh, she can't stand how old-fashioned it sounds.]

[vigilanteup]

Euridice isn't that bad. I know an Estellise.

[occulthymns]

Estellise? [Hmm, not a name she's heard before.]

That one sounds nice. [Cute and feminine.]

[vigilanteup]

She preferred Estelle anyway. Besides, Euri isn't a bad nickname... [ says the man named Yuri. ]

[occulthymns]

[She snorts lightly.] You can't really say otherwise, can you?

So what did you want to check out first?

[vigilanteup]

What do you consider the most fun?

[occulthymns]

... The plants, actually. Seeing what's growing and taking cuttings.

[vigilanteup]

Then lead the way, Euri.

[occulthymns]

Really...? That wouldn't be too boring for you?
