Like thunder screaming out for a flash of lightning

[Cor's not great at this whole party thing, especially as this time it's not just a family gathering but intended for the friends they'd made here as well. The video starts with Cor sitting in a cushy white and grey striped armchair, a stone fireplace beside him glowing warmly. It's a classy set up and far above the townhouses they've been in.]

It's New Years, celebrations are in order. His Majesty, Ignis, and I have obtained a larger space and we'd like to offer our home for the festivities. Feel free to stop in, have some snacks, and await midnight with us.

[Locked from Regis]
[He looks a little paranoid at first, double, then triple checking that he's done this right.]

It's also his Majesty's birthday. He's always eager to sweep it under the New Years celebrations but he has no reason to shy away from any such celebrations here. Don't let him.

[Action - Party Start~]
[The new house is really very nice. It's nothing compared to the Citadel but it is very nice. Clean and homey with the accents of warm wood that, if Cor didn't know better, he'd have thought was reclaimed.

There's a fire in the hearth, hor d'ouerve trays laid out on the kitchen counters. The replicator is of course available to anyone who wants something specific, though you might be surprised to find she responds to voice commands and is distressingly cheerful to talk to. The house is open for examination! Go on, explore folks, mingle away.]

[Action - Midnight]
[As chill as the night is Cor makes a point of slipping through the crowd throughout the evening. There's a number of Lucis Caelums and other magic users as well. So when the time comes near he does his best to usher everyone into the backyard, or at least onto the back porch.

He's certainly not the one to lead the countdown, no someone more energetic can do that, but at the final count a series of spells get fired into the night sky. They may not be traditional fireworks but a few Flares, Thundaras, and spells he has no names for will work well enough, don't you think?]

[ She hums a note of agreement, presses another kiss to his lips, quick as a flash, then turns to her FLUID and has Ardbert snap the picture.

Era allows herself to sink back into a less strenuous position, both arms linking around his neck again, and resting her head near his (with care not to knock him with her horns). ]

It is worth a try, is it not?

[unsunderworld]

Nothing lost for the attempt, surely.

[Smiling, he leans his head into hers, long neck bending a bit more than one of more Hyuran proportions would.]

What but the memories separates who we might be now from any other incarnation?

[astralera]

[ His words hit a bit too deeply, and while not cruel or painful they do cause Era some discomfort when she thinks on them. Her tail shifts, moving to curl around his nearest arm, and she sighs against his skin. ]

Memories are important. These memories are important... I am grateful for the chance to photograph such moments, lest I forget.

[ The 'again' goes unsaid, though with Hades there is no need to voice it. ]
