*with another Erumas out of the way, has put all of his focus toward the next big holiday on the docket*
*arrives into the Fountain proper at 3:30am on New Year's Eve, dressed in solid, somber black from head to toe, and meets an equally funereal Nico (wow, the veil is a nice touch) in the conference room* *goes over the plans and supplies with her for the umpteenth time (All three shifts know the dress code today, check. Pete's changing the hold message when he comes in, check. Grounds crew is running the banners down to half-mast, check. Cake being delivered at 9am, check.)*
*satisfied that everything external is in order for the moment, gets to work on the House itself* *hauls out a ladder and strings the black and white streamers in the lobby and around the conference room, while his 3IC sets up all of the little tombstones and ties off the balloons* *as a finishing touch, posts a notice on the front doors requesting that visitors observe a moment of silence to commemorate the Lord of the Fountain's passing (out of the realm of youth, that is)*
*when all is ready, stands back with Nico and takes a last look around* *trades a (mock-)solemn nod with her* Uh-huh. Ecthelion's going to skin us both. |

*having survived the Erumas season with his mother's hospitality to thank and possibly other familial distractions?, recovers feeling all the more focused about the year to come*
*invites Erendis for a conversation, some time after most of the gathering settles down*
*might have one or two tiny things on his mind* |

*has had a pretty happy holiday, all told*
*holiday being really very similar to non-holidays, except it comes with a pile of presents and chocolates and paper things that go pop*
*plays works in her mom's study, getting started on all the thank you cards she has to write*
(*so really, colouring*) |

*goes out into town to make the most of the post-Erumas sales (and to collect the present she got for Ecthelion's birthday)* *gets quickly distracted when she passes a bookstore ... oh, and that shoestore ... and her favourite camera shop ... ah, and that great department store on Royal*
*by mid-morning, has accumulated quite a large number of shopping bags and contemplates going for coffee before she goes to work (what? it's only 10.30; there's no way Glorfindel is at the Flower yet)* |
