Does this place celebrate holidays? Like Christmas and stuff?

What kind of gifts do you give usually?

['Have you seen Sato Ma-'

delete, delete.]

Did you arrive here alone or with someone you know?

None of us have been here long enough to know about any holidays. We’ll just have to wait and see.

Shouldn’t stop you from giving people gifts though, if that’s what you want to do.

What kind of gift? Dude, that depends on the person and what they even want to Christmas! Ask them.

Yeah, some of my friends arrived with me. One of my teammates and some other players from a couple other schools.

[uenosama]

I will- if I get enough money here. The money I came with doesn't really count. I'm working at the music store right now so maybe.

Hey! It's not always that easy, okay!? Don't you just get stuck sometimes not knowing what to get people even if you know what they like!?

I see. Were they with you all the time? Or did you look for them?

Christmas? I never heard of Christmas before but in Lucis, we typically celebrate the coming of the Winter Solstice in the form of the Starlight Festival.

The gift-giving aspect of the Solstice typically ranges from food in celebration of a good harvest to more expensive gifts such as precious stones and well, more contemporary gifts. Fragrances are quite popular during this season as well, along with incense.

It really depends on the person in terms of the gift. I'm certain you'll be able to find something that catches your eye in Camelot. There's much to see at the bazaar.

As for myself, I was quite fortunate not to arrive in this realm alone. I have both family and friends here.

[uenosama]

Starlight Festival? That sounds nice. Like, watching stars in the night or something? Christmas and Christmas eve are two days and people just exchange gifts, give well wishes and spend time with each other.

Food is a great idea for a gift, especially if home cooked

[Too bad that the most nutritious thing Ue can make is frozen pizza]

Yeah, I'll go browse through it. I'm not sure how much money I'll have by that time, which is why I asked. I'm working but still...

I see. That must be quite reassuring. Did they arrive well? As in, not injured?

I didn't arrive with anyone from my world, again, but there are quite a few from Lunatia that's for sure.

As for gifts, you just need to follow your heart.

[uenosama]

Lunatia, that weird place with three moons and shapeshifting. I remember it, although I didn't spend a lot of time there. Memories feel fuzzy a little.

Well, I am trying but
you know
sometimes you don't have ideas

[rustyhonesty]

Oh, right, it's that time of the year.

Something you made yourself is always a good way to go with presents.

I arrived with someone from my world who was also with me in another world before this one. Which I'm really grateful for.

[uenosama]

Yeah. I don't know how people here celebrate it, if they celebrate at all.

Well, a guy offered to teach me to make some food as a gift, but I wonder if it's enough.

From another world? Lunatia maybe?

I came here alone, but it's fine. I can't slack off no matter who's here or not.

[Crow's putting on a brave face, but he does miss his bros.]

[uenosama]

Are you sure? Do you want me to help you look?

[Now that he's found Mafuyu and made sure he's safe, he can help.]

Holydays?

I don't think I ever heard of Christmas, but when I have to gift anything it's usually a random wooden animal or item I carved myself.

To answer your second question: I arrived here alone, even if there's someone who seems to be from my same place.

[uenosama]

Wooden animal? Like a figurine? I can't make those but I guess I can look around and maybe buy one.

But there are others that are from your world, right?

No idea about this place, but I didn't back home either.

Alone.

Re: text; un: ems

[uenosama]

No Christmas seems to be a thing, but you didn't have any similar holiday? During winter when you exchange gifts?

Oh. Sorry about that.
I can keep an eye out for people for you if you want?

I arrived alone but people I know are also here, so I guess that makes me pretty lucky huh!!!

[uenosama]

[What the hell is with that username!? Who goes around flaunting that!? Don't worry, Ue's just vanilla at stuff]

Yeah there are few people I know here too, I reunited with them. It's weird wanting them to be around even though this place doesn't let anyone go home

[alchemists]

I just arrived myself so I don't know if people here celebrate any holidays but, I celebrate Christmas. For gifts I would just give whatever someone has mentioned they wanted?

[uenosama]

Are you all by yourself here? No one you know?

[Ue's softie with rough edges sometimes]

Thing is I'm not sure if I can get such stuff here. It's a bit, well, rustic

un: azfell

[temptationaccomplished]

I forgot all about the winter holidays! I don't know if they celebrate them here, but I really ought to find a little something for gifts.

I was blessed to arrive with two others I know. I was lucky in that regard.

[uenosama]

From what I heard at my workplace, they have holidays but they are not called Christmas. It was a bit busy so I didn't get to ask for the details.

I was lucky too. My bandmates arrived with me so I think we can manage. It's good that people are not arriving here all by their lonesome.

Do you think Father Christmas will be able to come to Avalon? [The seven-year-old doesn't want to miss Santa.]

[Oh crap! Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhh-]

W-Well! If he can't I'm sure someone will instead of him. Y-You know! If he's running late with other places. But I'm sure everything will be fine!

[He did NOT expect this.]

[mysophobic]

I arrived here by myself. But it seems like there are people who came from another world aside from their own before here!

It's really crazy, right? Also...Christmas doesn't exist in my world. What do you normally do for it?

[uenosama]

Yes, I have been in such a world before. That's why I asked. I had someone I know there, but I hadn't seen them around, I don't know if they also came here.

For Christmas? We exchange gifts, have a nice meal, and spend time with friends and family. Couples love to make a special date night out of it too.

un: kingfisher | text | i tried not to make it like his dad's but... well.

I've never heard of this "Christmas" before. We have the Starlight Festival back home where I'm from, in Lucis. We do give out gifts, though. Things like clothing and video games, or books, food and cologne. There's usually a massive feast too, at some point. The cost of the gifts isn't the big deal, it's the thought put into it.

And I did arrive here with people from my home. My friends, my fiance, and my dad and his Marshal.

<3

[uenosama]

I think someone already mentioned Starlight Festival earlier. And yeah, I know that it's the thought that counts but sometimes you draw blank. For example- you've known this person for YEARS and got them all the things you could think of and now what? Sometimes you're just out of ideas. That's why I asked.

Wow a lot of people arrived here with you. I suppose it's better than coming here by yourself.

[Does he or does he not ask about this 'his' thing...?]
