As December kicked off, decorations seemed to have been put up just about everywhere around the Dojo. Nothing too crazy, just simple lights, wreaths, and other festive things. The decorations seem to have been put up overnight, as they weren't there yesterday. The sound of a wooden ladder being moved across cobblestone could be heard in a secondary courtyard. Snow was stepping up the ladder and finishing the decorations, trying to string up some lights on a lamppost. She finished with a gleeful smile and clapped her hands.
"The entire Dojo, decked out for the holidays in a single night!"
she clapped a few times, excited at the accomplishment. She figured there might be a few others who could do it in a day, maybe less, but still. She climbed down the ladder and stacked up a few empty boxes. She was planning on going to the Starbucks and getting some coffee before returning to store the boxes again. She planned on heading to the shooting range afterwards to continue practicing her aim and follow-through.

Cannon wonders by, looking at the decorations. "What are these for?"
-
Snow turns to look at him. "Christmas of course! And other holidays too, and stuff."
-
Cannon cocks his head. "Never heard of it. Some sort of celebration?"
-
"I guess so. Its an earth holiday that i guess people around here also celebrate. Only thing that would make me smile way back when."
-
"Sounds fun. I've never really celebrated a holiday before. What kinds of things do people do?"
-
"I dont really remember. Might be more fun to explore it for yourself!"
-
"I guess research it. What are the lights and wreaths for?"
-
"The wreaths make it look pretty in the day, and the lights at night!" she replies happily.
-
Cannon nods. "And you did this all yourself?"
-
She nods energetically. "Yup, and im tired as heck but i literally can't sleep! I accidentally mistook a needle of adrenaline for a needle of glucose!"
-
Cannon laughs slightly at that. "Well, maybe I should decorate my ship. What do you think? String some of these lights across it?" He seems serious.
-
She smiles. "I think that's a really cool idea! Go for it! I have some extra lights!"
-
"Thanks vod. Hopefully this won't explode in my face..."
-
"Hopefully. They're just lightbulbs, they shouldnt blow up!" she says, kind of bubbly, like she went blonde, or was hyper. Probably the latter. She picks up a box and gives it to him.
-
"Thanks. Any tips on how to decorate?"
-
Bump because i dont feel like making more december posts.))

[i]Moving down the street was someone large, their footfalls heavy and metallic. From further down the road, a hulking figure seemed to be tearing through the Christmas decorum, looking for stuff. Upon finding a wreath, he ripped it from its post, throwing it over his helmet and around his neck. Taking a red ribbon tied into a bow from someone's window, he pinned it to his bandolier. Finding som random civilian wearing a Santa hat, he shot them in the back, taking the hat from their still warm corpse, and tossing it on his head. Continuing on, he saw the decorations and lights, and he ripped down an entire segment of the hanging lights, wrapping them around the massive machine gun that sat atop his shoulder. Clearly, he did not care about the work that went into everything. He had what he wanted.[/i]

Fortunately, by the power of a tiny lack of detail, the man was on the other side of the Dojo. (this IS within Dojo boundaries. Whoever it is just killed a civvie on dojo grounds.)
-
[spoiler]Oh don't puss out he's not going to kill you[/spoiler]
-
[spoiler]Kk.[/spoiler] Ok..i take it back. By the magic power of writing, he is now somewhere near Snow.
-
[i]Paying no attention to the individual putting up decorations, he continued to tear down what was there, taking what he wanted for himself and decorating his armor.[/i]
-
Snow looked toward him, rather disappointed. "Hey! If you want some decorations, you could've just asked!" she shouts toward him. Not in an angry way, more of a "attention! you should listen!" voice.
-
[i]The armored titan looked up, clearly not caring about her complaint.[/i] I think I'm good now, thanks! [i]He replied, almost mocking her with his friendly tone.[/i]
-
She shrugged. "If you say so." She starts walking to the Starbucks.
-
[i]As she walked away, he called out to her.[/i] You're one of them animal things?! God d*mn how many of you f*cks are there?!
