day 226
[ And here is one (1) Roxy Lalonde, a little hung over and a little disheveled, but in one piece. She switches the camera on the moment she wanders out of the apartment building and is totally not dressed properly for the weather but like she gives a fuck. She is positively beaming. ]

I slept the whole day long, and I am real regretful. Look at this shit. It's fluffy, it's white, it's wet and cold, it's the snow, the for reals Jack Frost, the goddamn Old Man Winter, would you take a fuckin' look at this??

Never saw snow before. And there's no way anyone else missed this, unless they also decided on the fly that sleepin' all day's the way to go, so I'm just sayin' shit you already noticed. But I don't care. It's diamond sparkle brilliance, ice queen beauty, off the handle prettiness, and this shit needs to be admired, you get it.

Pass on the eggnog and holiday cheer, and someone's gotta build a snowman with me. Anyone. Everyone.

	Yes! They should be. There's plenty of gifts in the shops, and it's still not TOO late. [She hurries in, muttering a thanks for the door being held open.] Do you even have winter clothes, dear? You can borrow mine, if you need to. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh. Yeah, I probably don't got a coat. If you have an oversized one maybe I could fit in it... a little bit... [ But she shrugs and follows Calliope up. ] We could just run there and keep warm that way if nothing fits. I don't mind-- it's just so fuckin neat to see snow like this.

	That is true. [Calliope slips into the cherubs' apartment, where on the coffee table are a bottle of grey sand and a jpg-artifacted miniature of the Statue of Liberty are perched.] [In a calm but matter-of-fact manner, Calliope tucks the statue under the couch cushions.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ What... Roxy decides not to comment, and instead busies herself looking around at the various games set up. It's good to be back in the proper dome. ] Soooooooo... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Calliope leans into a room, keeping the door squeezed around herself enough that it's pretty much impossible to see inside. She leans right back out with a folder.] Sooooo, here is your present! I hope you like it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ Roxy considers peeking in over her shoulder, because damn if she isn't curious. But Calliope is tiny and the room is dark so after giving in to that peeking impulse, she can't actually see anything. She grins over at Calliope before taking the folder and opening it up. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Calliope makes a face at her trying to peek into her room, but she expected it, so she doesn't say anything.] [Especially since she wants to allow Roxy to bask in the glory of her drawing, which has her posing dramatically on a rooftop, wearing her mother's scarf. There are a few of her neighbors also drawn in, for effect.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[ Roxy takes the drawing, grin slowly getting bigger and bigger. When she finally turns to look at Calliope again, she slings an arm around her neck and pulls her in for a hug. ]

You are mega talented, girl. Guess where this is going?? Right next to the other one, over my bed. God, I don't know what to get you. I can't really make much.

... I'll write you something. I mean. My writing's not so great, but I'm gonna do it anyways.

	Only if you think it's necessary! [Calliope's smile turns both sheepish and nervous as she decides to come clean.] Having you back is enough. You sort of... disappeared for a few days. (Reply to this) (Parent)
