Summary; Flonne wants a Christmas party with her friends! ♥ But when her not-so-bff Envy is involved, will it all go just as planned or not as planned?
Log; Flonne was so excited just for today! Ever since she had learned of the holiday, she'd been rushing around in excitement to prepare that one special holiday of the year. Christmas! ...Well, sure, she didn't really know what it all meant. She did know of the fat man in red who rode around delivering presents while driving a flying sleigh lead by reindeer. Apparently he squeezed himself into chimenys too!

Even if it didn't make sense, Flonne came from the Netherworld, where making sense was optional and not a requirement for day-to-day life. She had just finished setting out the fried shrimp--which was catered instead of made, thanks to the last incident with her preparing the meal. She thought Laharl might be playing video games in the other room, hoping maybe he'd stop for a while to talk to people. It was idealistic, but perhaps a bit much to hope for.

"Laharl!" She shouted cheerily from the other room. "They're gonna be here any minute, so make sure you're ready!" She clapped her hands, waiting for a guest or two to arrive.

"Ah...will your little brother be arriving soon?" She asked, wondering where Wrath would be. She'd spoken to him once, and he wasn't very happy to talk to her--but he was confused! All little kids are upset when they can't find their moms.

The little train of thought went to Envy's family in general. She couldn't fathom having a family made up entirely of sins! Virtues, maybe. She'd only met three so far. And yes, Greed was greedy, Wrath was...from her expirience, very angry, and Envy...well, she hadn't seen him jealous of anything yet, but having green hair might count for that. So would Pride be vain, would Gluttony eat everything, and would Lust--well, no. Let's not think about that one.

She realized she'd been standing there with a blank expression on her face moments afterward. "Ah...! Sorry, I was...thinking. About stuff." She plastered another grin on her face.

"More like siblings than actual brothers." he commented before answering her question properly. "No idea, told him where I'd be so he might turn up at some point." He was tired of looking after the brat and if he went off and caused damage somewhere it wasn't Envy's fault that he wouldn't stay put.

He noticed Flonne spacing out for a couple of minutes...Flonne thinking about anything was a scary idea. If it was even possible.

"Of course you were." he answered when she snapped out of it. "Is Laharl here?" Poking fun at Flonne with someone else might brighten his day. Or at least stop her from smiling so damn much all the time.

She lead him into the living room, where Laharl was busily playing a video game. "Well, in any case, I hope he shows up eventually!" He obviously had very little affection for Wrath, but she'd be surprised if he showed affection at all anyway. Proud, yes, but surprised. She'd always fancied herself as being a good big sister, albeit being an only child.

She took a seat on the couch next to Laharl. "Have you ever played video games?"

Envy wanted to bang his head against the wall at anyone hoping to spend time with Wrath. "Do you really hate your apartment enough to want him in it?" he asked her. He nodded vaguely in Laharl's direction. Saying hello was obviously too much effort for him to make. Besides, the demon seemed too engrossed in his game to notice.

"Not really. The City is the first time I've seen them." he said while taking a seat on the opposite side of the couch, curling one leg up under the other. "Arion just gave me one as a present."

Laharl had actually noticed Flonne had let someone in and he vaguely also noted when Flonne sat down next to him. While the demon was very engrossed in his game, tapping busily on the controller's buttons, he was, in fact, half listening, especially when video games came up.

The demon arched a brow, glancing a bare second from the screen, "You hadn't till here? Geez, that sucks..." Video games were high on Laharl's favorite pasttimes, he couldn't imagine not having them. It was probably one of the few things keeping him SANE here, in fact.

"Hate my...?" Oh, so Wrath was destructive? It figures, she thought. But she lived in the Overlord's castle, destruction came as a normal there. But still, she would be happy to meet him in person, she thought as Laharl murdered another NPC onscreen.

Flonne clapped her hands together. "Mind-numbing RPGs and racing games are nearly a national sport in the Netherworld!" She cheered. "Laharl's really good at them, and so is Miss Etna. Would you like to try--?"

"Nah, we don't." He wasn't really bothered about it. Techonology which didn't involve alchemy didn't interest him too much beyond stuff he needed to use, like the network. He figured he wasn't going to have it if he ever went home again anyway.

Flonne's enthusiasm at videogames was almost enough to put him off them completely. But Laharl seemed to be enjoying his game enough and maybe if he tried it out Flonne would shut up for a while. Maybe.

"Alright. I'll try it."

Oh good, now Flonne had set it up so he was going to lose his one distraction from all this. Well, it was pretty sad though this guy hadn't ever played a video game. So after a moment Laharl, somewhat relucantly, handed over his controller.

Slumping even lower on the couch, he folded his arms to his chest, ready to watch.

Envy stared at the controller in his hands, not quite sure how to get it to work. Well, when in doubt, press everything.

He was sure he'd manage to get it right eventually.

"Uhm--It's a combat RPG!" She said, looking at the controls on the booklet that came with the game. "The arrow pad makes the character move, the A button makes your character attack..."

Laharl, does this one have multiplayer?" She asked hopefully.

"How many RPG's do you know that have multiplayer?" Laharl muttered, looking slightly exasperated. The answer was 'not many' of course, but chances of Flonne knowing that were probably pretty slim he figured so he answered for her. "Next to none, so... no, no it doesn't."

That cleared up, he sat up for a moment to snag a couple cookies from the plate on the coffee table before promptly slumping back once more.
