Home for the Holidays

[sweetcandygirl]

Over the weekend, Harley was busy decorating her Nexus apartment, stylizing everything in soft whites and a few bright splashes of reds.

In the middle of the apartment, where her aerial silks normally hang from the cathedral ceilings, and several pinwheel decorations. And soft Christmas music is playing on the stereos, filling the open areas of her apartment.

The smells of several delicious foods waft from the kitchen. Everything is made with a vegetarian-friendly flare, that is still respectful to the season itself. And to supplement the fact there may not be any meat on the menu -- there is a large keg of ale on a countertop nearby. There is also plenty of wine, cocktails, and eggnog available.

Harley has invited a few people over to her apartment for a small pre-Christmas party. Mostly, those who already live or stay in her apartment.

"He don't talk too much to anyone, but that's just how he is. Both he and Katsuya are the strong silent types. I can go half a day and not hear more than a mouthful from either of them if they're not helping customers."

It's definitely just something Josh says. People are pretty divided if it makes Joshua annoying or endearing though. The Brospeak is strong with this one, but he doesn't have his partner in crime to riff off of so it's toned down a lot during his time in the Nexus.

"I'm from 2015 ish. Not sure where home's at timewise these days. But it's not all it's cracked up to be."

"Well, bears don't talk at all where I come from, so I guess anything he has to say is more than I'd hear back home."

He chuckles softly and shakes his head. "Still a long way ahead of me. It was 1931 when I left. Can't go back, either, on account of dyin'."

"Fair point. They never did where I was from either. Unless you count guttural growls as words. I mean I understood the meaning just fine either way but not literally."

It's a pretty easy to understand message. GTFO or become dinner. Though the Canadian's expression clouds somewhat when Cricket speaks of death.

"I can't, either." He's not entirely sure if he died or not before he ended up here in the Nexus. At the end there he was completely out of his mind with grief and hunger. What he'd been willing to do in those last moments...Josh only thinks about now in his deepest nightmares. "I"ve been here for a couple'a years now."
