[Open] something about lovely weather and sleigh rides together
Who: Ventus + you!
When: December 4-24
Where: Christmas Village, Aqures Ixen, places in between.
What: Spreading cheer and doing Christmas things following his letter and otherwise being a generous cinnamon roll. Whether volunteering or visiting, feel free to start your own threads!
Why: BECAUSE IT'S CHRISTMAAAS
Warnings: overzealous use of capslock on the mun's part but otherwise dude it's Christmas
4-6th - Christmas Village - Preparations
[Ven figured it would be a lot of work, but it turns out to be even more than that. He doesn't know much (anything) about the fine points of running any kind of business, but that's where Rae and his friends come in. As empty as the village is when he arrives on the cold morning of the fourth, it doesn't take long at all to procure a small building for their purposes, and from there both Hero and moogle have their work cut out for them.
The first few days are spent setting up as well as making the empty room more cozy for the volunteers; before long, the fireplace is lit and warming the place, and a few armchairs have been donated for those who want to work on their wares in-shop.
The decorations are still pretty lacking, though, and there are a lot more raw materials on hand than actual products. They do get a sign up out front, however, painted in Rae's girly handwriting:]
Holiday Hearts and Crafts
Decor, fashion, and custom orders kupo!
6-8th - Aqures, Balicea, Esdham - Advertising
[Once the basics are done and left to the other volunteers to manage, Ven and Rae head back to the home continent. They take his Chocobo from town to town, making deals with shop owners, buying more materials, attracting more volunteers (not least of all because Ven is generous with his new Christmas Spirit skill), posting flyers, and otherwise getting the word out about their craft shop. Any help is appreciated!]
9-24th - Christmas Village - Keepin' busy
[It's a slow start, but the business soon attracts a steady stream of customers; by the fifteenth, they have a long list of orders and a longer waiting list. Fortunately, Rae and those who assisted in advertising did manage to recruit a number of crafters from both continents in addition to those Ven initially spoke to, so there's a blend of humans, Bangaa, primal moogles, and others about at any given time (as well as Aqures moogles darting in with letters and materials and back out with packages). Orders have centered mostly around jewelry and warm clothing, but there's always a bit of everything in demand.]

The next time it happened she couldn't do anything before she found herself tripping over, sending the box flying.]
Watch out, flying box of things!
no subject
Huh?
[--and that box hits him square in the chest. On normal footing, he probably would have been alright, but the unexpected collision combined with the snow underfoot puts him flat on his back. On the plus side, he saved the box.]
Ow!
no subject
I'm sorry! You aren't hurt are you? The snow broke your fall right?
[She moved to circle him for a brief moment, just to make sure there was no blood or anything before she eve noticed the box was safe and sound.]
Well... uh... Thank you for rescuing the box. Even if it did hit you.
no subject
He looks up at her, confusion turning briefly into recognition before going back to confusion. He looks down at the box of... something that's slid into his lap.]
It's okay. The fall wasn't bad. [He's been through much worse. After another dazed moment, he manages to give her a reassuring smile.] Really! I'm fine. [He offers the box back to her; at least it's okay!] Here you go. What d'you have in there, anyway?
no subject
[She carefully picks up the box to check that everything was okay and when it was she sighed with relief.]
it's meant to help the village, so I'm doing my bit like I'm positive you are.
no subject
[That's a slight joke, but he's serious, too. The windows are looking pretty good, so he doesn't mind a break.]
no subject
I appreciate the help. thank you. I don't want to break them because I'm being stubborn or something after all.
[She held the box, firmly trying her best to make sure they were safe for the moment.]
I am meant to be going this way if you'll follow me.
no subject
I'm, uh -- Ventus, by the way. Just Ven's fine. [He pauses, his smile shrinking a bit.] I, uh... can't remember if I introduced myself last time.
[You know, during that whole... mess...]
no subject
[She felt like she had gotten better, but at times like this she didn't have the time to really think about it as she walked.]
Though it doesn't matter who introduced ourselves again.
no subject
Nice to meet you, again. So what d'you think of the village so far? I mean, I know it's kind of empty, but... it's looking better each day, I think.
no subject
[She was focused on what it might become instead of what it was like now. It made her smile thinking about it after all.]
no subject
Although... all my Christmases have been pretty small. Just me and a couple others. I'm not sure what all's expected in a whole village dedicated to it.
[Judging by how many decorations his moogle bought, however, he can guess that it's a big part of it.]
no subject
[So this whole thing was huge to someone like her. Even the huge tree in the centre seemed bigger.]
