Event || The New Year

[melodiesmods]

Characters: Anyone!
Where: The Enterprise.
When: The Night from December 31st to January 1st.
Summary: A Ball aboard the Enterprise, for well-dressed (mostly) Heroes of Light and their friends who want to dance and (especially) eat for free.
Warning: Nothing.

While the passing from a year to another isn't as big of an event as the Starlight Celebration, it is no reason to pass up an ocasion to celebrate and have fun. There are fireworks in all major cities and various activities to enjoy. Noticeably, there are gatherings of people in Aqures Ixen and Trano Golsaucia in particular, if only to conclude what is one of the most celebrated week in the year, and wish to each other the best possible year to come-- Though most people are worried about what's to come soon. After all, the end might be nigh with the Calamity about to take over the planet...

To celebrate this, the Heroes of Light have all been invited to stay aboard the Enterprise for a particularly prestigious and animated Ball. Indeed, the Enterprise will from Aqures Ixen and go all the way to Mysidia at midnight-- This way, New Year is going to last even longer than normal thanks to the magic of timezones.

There are tables with foods for everyone to eat and of course, music for people to dance together if they so wish. There is also a consequent number of chairs lined up, for all those who refuse to dance or are too awkward to do so.

What would be the best thing to say, with this type of situation? A new hopefulness, to close off the gloom of the conversation?

Hmm.

... Ahh, I'm really not good at this.

"That is..." Minato started, "Probably the best way to show strength too."

He turns to Yugi with a nod, not entirely sure how he got all this philosophical with someone he was meeting for the first time, but might as well end on a good note. "Make your friends proud."

Probably the best way to show strength. As another firework went off he finally could show an actual smile. He could try and do that, try being the correct word anyway.

"I will do... But until we have to again, we can just enjoy all of this, or at least try. Don't you think?"

[silencesfate]

"Hm... I guess so."

Though still having an air of aloofness to it, Minato's tone isn't as cold as it was earlier in the evening. And now the kid was smiling--good, he felt somewhat at ease he wouldn't be The Boy Who Ruined New Year's.

Following that he scratched his cheek, still somewhat sheepish at how close he cut that.

"Ah... don't you want to go find your friends? I'm sure you must have some on board."

"I don't know. The party is pretty huge after all, so I wouldn't know." He kicked his legs a tiny bit, feeling like he needed to move them even for a brief moment.

"Plus parties this huge while I've been to a couple are till pretty much something I can only do for a certain amount of time. What about you? Are your friends here?"
