Countdown to Countdown!

[At around noon on the 31st, the following announcement goes out over the network.]

Hello, everyone!  It's New Year's Eve, and I hope you'll join me tonight in counting down the end of one year and ringing in the new!  I'll be in the Virgo Ward at the Statue of Frost all day handing out some things to help everyone celebrate, so I look forward to seeing you all there!

[Action; all day; Statue of Frost]

[Anyone who stops by the statue at any point in the day on New Year's Eve will indeed see Isabelle standing there next to a big digital countdown clock adorned with balloons and other festive decorations.  There's also a small stand set up nearby with glasses of sparkling cider, party hats, and poppers for the big night.  She greets passersby with a big wave and a happy smile, and will gladly chat a bit with anyone who approaches.]

More cheerful?

[She doesn't seem to have thought of this before.]

I'm not really sure how cheerful a city that fills with demons every night can get. Maybe we can use more yellow in our color schemes.

More yellow...

[She pulls out a small pad of paper, jotting that down.]

[phantom_envoy]

T-That was...

[...Oh never mind. She tried so hard it was just wrong to discourage her.]

While we're at it, I think we could use our own city font, too. Something with a lot of curlicues.

[worked_through_labor_day]

Good idea! I've never designed anything like that before, though.

I feel like you're the type of person who doesn't need practice to know how to make writing look bright and cheerful, so. You're probably already good.

[worked_through_labor_day]

You might be right. Sometimes I dot my i's with smiley faces!

[phantom_envoy]

[ugh really uh wait she means how adorable]

Doesn't it get a little cramped on the page? That's three dots when you only need one.

[worked_through_labor_day]

And a circle around the dots.

[phantom_envoy]

You can just save time by using stationery cut out into the shape of a smiley face.

[worked_through_labor_day]

Oh! Good idea!

[What have you started, Phantom Girl.]

[phantom_envoy]

[a thing of beauty]

I know, right? ...I guess I'll leave you to your cutting and redecorating, then.

Thanks for the drinks - and the info.

[worked_through_labor_day]

Of course! Happy New Year!
