I feel like going out to town tonight. It's been a while since I went out, by myself or a group of people. After all, most of the time I'm busy, selling flowers, things like that.

I wonder if there's a karaoke bar around here...? That'd be fun, I think. ♥

If anybody needs flowers for Valentine's Day... I have plenty! ♥ I can even arrange a bouquet for you, if you like.

[A wistful sigh, and Aerith moves to plop herself --quite the queen-- on the floor again, looking up at the sky dreamily.]

It's a nice holiday, I think~.

[ Aerith seems a tad confused; she's dressed in some gauzy dress, wandering around without much thought. Her hair is left unbraided, and it reaches to her knees. ]

Well... this is certainly interesting. Does anyone really know what's goin--

[ Suddenly Aerith reaches into her pocket and pulls out a white orb, though its surface reflects blue sometimes. She moves it in her hand before smiling slowly. ]

Oh, look. Holy materia. ♥

[ Though normally upright, Aerith is laying down in the middle of the floor, staring up. She seems utterly relaxed and prone, without much of a care on who stumbles on her looking like this or not. ]

Mm... It's nice just to relax here, isn't it? No obligations, no worries, no people in suits chasing me...

If I could, I think I'd just lay here and stare up forever. But that might get a little dull, and I'd miss talking to people...

I've been hearing about a fortuneteller lately. [ Smiles slightly, as if amused. ] Everyone's always curious to hear about their future, aren't they?

I... don't think I want to know mine. It'd ruin the surprise.

Happy New Year!

Let's hope this year will be just as good (or better) than the last! I still haven't made my New Year's resolution, but I'll get around to that soon...

[ It is now obvious Aerith is holding something in her hand, and it appears to be an empty beer bottle. She knocks it thoughtfully against her thigh as she thinks. Thunk, thunk, thunk... ]

It's too bad I didn't get to know anyone that well last night. Now, tell me: who wants a flower for good luck this year?

Oh, it's real festive around here, isn't it? Everyone's showing off their gifts. ♥ Now all I have to do is decide how to spend my evening. [ Aerith taps her chin thoughtfully as she continues to speak. ]

I mean, all I did yesterday was some knitting and then today I worked in my garden. I think I'm twenty-two going on fifty. I need to go out and do something fun. Even if there's nothing wrong with knitting and/or gardening, in my opinion.

Well, I guess this is home sweet home. [ Looking particularly proud with her hands on her hips. ] It took all day, but it isn't bad at all! Now all I have to do is plant some flowers around here...

Now, tell me: who's excited for Christmas? I know I am! Minus all the expenses of presents. I made cookies to celebrate!
