[ Closed action, Helix ]

[ He's nervous as they head down to the beach, backpack filled not only with presents but with a few choice items as well. Ritualistic. A ceremony he hasn't been a part of for years and that normally requires a month of preparations but here they are in the land of last-minute-surprises and Aidan can't pass up this opportunity. It's as close as he'll ever get to a Winter Solstice celebration ever again and although it isn't a pig being slaughtered and there's no designated boulder here, he'll do what he can with what he's got.

Hands bare and reddened by the cold, he reaches out to grab Helix's hand as they walk. Nervous. Excited. ]

[Video; open ]

Hey, y'all. Happy holidays and uh... and all that. [ Unsure if he did that right. They don't do Christmas where he's from and that's very much the point of this transmission. ] I was thinkin', I bet there's plenty of us that don't celebrate th' way the Wardens've set this up. We've got people from all over the worlds after all, it'd be weird if everyone did it just like this.

How do you do it back where you're from? Do you celebrate... Christmas or is it somethin' else?

Oh, and uh... I'll be doin' a little celebration type thing of my own down at th' beach, if anyone wants to join. Just a little somethin' from back home... bring a cup, if you're comin' down.

[ Action; open. Aidan can be found down at the beach together with Helix. They've set up a fire in one of the fire pits and anyone interested will get an introduction to the godless earth-worshipping religion that Aidan is a surprisingly devout follower of. He can also be found scurrying over the dome throughout the day, delivering GIFTS to friend and foe alike! If your character isn't on the list but has some kind of CR with Aidan, feel free to assume they got something useful and generic like a pair of gloves or a scarf! ]

[ While Helix is busy slicing himself up, Aidan takes the opportunity to haphazardly wrap his bleeding hand. He'll need some help tying it off, but this should hold the trickling bloodflow at bay for the time being. Long enough so he can wrap up his boyfriend, which he does. ]

And that's it. Now we just put th' rock in th' bottom of th' fire pit and have ourselves a bonfire. [ Oddly happy for a guy who just committed synchronized self-mutilation. ]

[He'll obediently keep still and let Aidan tend to his hand before stopping and helping Aidan to tie his bandage a little better. He nods to the instructions and stands, happy to get out of the snow.]

Well, lets go. [Kind of a little excited about the bonfire part. And you can bet he's going to smooch and snug his boyfriend by the fire before the crowd starts wandering in for festivities.]

	[ And off to the firepit they go, backpack slung over his shoulder and bloody rock securely cradled against his chest. His heart may be a little heavy with homesickness, but it's the good kind of heavy. ] (Reply to this) (Parent)
