[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.

[surf-n-makai.livejournal.com]

Yeah, all the way from Hawaii. And now apparently I'm stuck on the mainland in the '50's.

Nice to meet you.

[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.

[surf-n-makai.livejournal.com]

Stark it is then. Awful fast talker, huh?

[thecoolexec.livejournal.com]

Ouch. Okay, we can buff that first impression right out with a little elbow grease...

[Tony extends his hand, bowing slightly in polite deference.] I feel that if I talk quickly, people won't stop to process anything I say too long. Most of it isn't important. Some of it is inappropriate.

[surf-n-makai.livejournal.com]

I'm Kono Kalakaua. Nice to meet you, fast talking aside.

[thecoolexec.livejournal.com]

Charmed. So, you seem awfully full of Christmas cheer. Off to, uh... Spread it around?

[noluckduck]

It'd be nicer just about anywhere else.

[surf-n-makai.livejournal.com]

Yeah you're probably right about that. In fact you're definitely right.

[surf-n-makai.livejournal.com]

Well, yeah. Since Christmas was cold and miserable and people were trying to kill each other. And people were replaced by clones or...


Anyway, yes. Spreading some island cheer.

Mele Kalikimaka.

[noluckduck]

Ya don't even have to tell me that.

[splashpuppy.livejournal.com]

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

[thecoolexec.livejournal.com]

[He takes it, smells it and pretends to swoon slightly.] You sure know how to treat a girl. Helps, when you actually are one, I imagine. And thanks for this.

Speaking of treating girls well, can I treat you to some hot chocolate when you finish up here? I'm new in town, could use a guide.

[surf-n-makai.livejournal.com]

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

[surf-n-makai.livejournal.com]

Sure, if you let me buy my own. It'll be good to warm up after being outside. Just one more flower to deliver a couple houses down to Peter and I'll be done.

[surf-n-makai.livejournal.com]

Clearly.

[noluckduck]

[Sob I'm sorry that's just the way she is ;;]

... So why a snowman, huh?
