[Action A - Around Mayfield, December 26th]
[It's been a rough couple of weeks for everyone, but at least things seem to have settled down now.  Kono's hoping to never spend another Christmas in Mayfield, not if she has something to do about it.

Today, though, she's spreading a little bit of cheer.  In her stocking she got a few sweets, but also two small leis.  One she's keeping for herself, and she's wearing it around her neck.  The other she has taken apart to bring flowers to the people she knows around Mayfield. 

If you've met Kono during her stay so far, she's coming to your door with a smile and a flower, just for you.]


[Action B - 463 Stone Street, later on December 26th]
[Now that it's not freezing to the point of being unbearably cold, Kono's finally venturing outside to play a bit with the snow.  On the snow day she had a chance to make a snow angel, but now she's taking time to build a snowman in her front yard.  She hasn't gotten very far yet, but feel free to stop to talk or help.]

Action B

[This neighbour was just passing by... until she saw the snowman.]

I don't get it. How's everyone just so fuckin' okay with everything?

[surf-n-makai.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't say ok, exactly. Maybe the snowman is a distraction? I don't have snow back where I'm from except way up on the mountains.

Are you new to the street? I haven't seen you around.

[noluckduck]

Still, we all just had a really fucked up week.

... Yeah, I guess I am. I've been here since... [She brings a hand to her face.] Shit, it's been like three weeks already?

[surf-n-makai.livejournal.com]

Yeah, time flies pretty fast. I've been here since October.



I'm Kono, by the way. Kono Kalakaua.

[noluckduck]

Sounds like ya really wouldn't have much snow wherever you're from, with a name like that. I'm Clover.

[Tony can't help but notice the pretty Hawaiian with the lei strolling by, heading to different houses, from what he can tell. Never one to waste an opportunity, he calls out to her from the other side of the street.]

Aloha kakahiaka!

[surf-n-makai.livejournal.com]

Back at you, brah. Been to the islands?

[thecoolexec.livejournal.com]

Only a few times, really. But I make it a point to pick up a few select phrases wherever I go.
[He has yet to use that phrase in it's proper context yet, but at least it's shelved and waiting for the right time...]

I should get to know someone with a sunnier perspective, though. You, for example.

[surf-n-makai.livejournal.com]

Oh really. You new in town, Mr....?

[thecoolexec.livejournal.com]

Stark. Anthony Stark. Friends call me Tony. Non-friends call me Stark. Though I'm sometimes called "Delightful". You can use any of the above, at this point.

Oh, hi! How's your pond working out? It didn't freeze over when it got really cold, did it?

[surf-n-makai.livejournal.com]

Nah, it was good. I love having it, thank you.

[splashpuppy.livejournal.com]

((That's fine, busy time of year))

Oh, good! I didn't think it was cold enough, but I wasn't sure exactly.

[surf-n-makai.livejournal.com]

Hey, with as cold as it got, I wouldn't have been surprised. I hope none of that hit you too hard.

[splashpuppy.livejournal.com]

Ms. Ukraine made sure we all stayed warm enough. She's real good at taking care of people.

[Action A

opens the door]

Hey, Kono. Merry belated Christmas.

[surf-n-makai.livejournal.com]

Mele Kalikimaka, Al.

[Peter trumps home from another weird, pointless day at work. He comes home to find a package on his doorstep. He grins, then cautiously prods it with his foot before picking it up and opening it up. What he sees makes him arch an eyebrow, then experimentally flex a muscle.]

[surf-n-makai.livejournal.com]

Hey, you trying out for Mr. Universe over there?

[webball.livejournal.com]

That's Captain Universe to you. Ex... Captain Universe, but still counts...

Top o' th' mornin' to ya, Kono! Check it out -- I was a good boy this year.

[He tosses Kono the box, which has another photograph in it: ]

[surf-n-makai.livejournal.com]

So you got your spider strength back? Cool. That'll definitely come in handy around here.

[photonicfighter]

((Hope a very late tag is alright? :) ))

[Back from a walk around town, Dakki slows her pace as she passes Kono's yard. And then stops and peers closer, grinning brightly.] Aah! You're making a snowman, aren't you?

[Her codename ought to be Captain Obvious.]

[surf-n-makai.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Home doesn't get snow, and now that it's warmed up a little bit I figured I'd actually enjoy it before I'm sick of it.

[photonicfighter]

Ah, that's a good idea. Snow's kind of fun to play in, when you're not risking frostbite.

[She gives her head a curious tilt.] Where are you from, that there's no snow? A tropical planet?

[surf-n-makai.livejournal.com]

No, not a tropical planet, just a tropical island here on Earth. I'm guessing you're not from Earth then?
