I'm starting to think I'm the only one coming up with resolutions for the New Year, around here...

If you hear anyone singing off-tune in the next few days, I'm sorry. From the looks of it, my best friend started giving out caroling lessons, even if he knows he's tone-deaf.

Just throw a snowball at his head, he'll knock it off.

[The video opens on a young man adjusting his hat with a dark indoor wall as backdrop, but it seems it was turned on a bit early, as after he notices the video's on he makes a surprised noise and whacks at it until the feed turns off.

Ten seconds later, the video comes back on, and he clears his throat, tipping the hat kind of counterproductively.

Hello. Name's Shotaro Hidari, hardboiled private detective, of the Narumi Detective Agency. I've been spending the past month and half getting the lay of this place, but I think my partner and I are about ready to open up shop again, so here I am.

Back home we’re something like specialists. There’s a lotta monsters back in Fuuto. Obviously around here that ain’t quite how it goes, but if you’ve got need of something that needs.. [He pauses dramatically.] A special touch, let us know. Hell, I’ll even off--ahhh!

[He looks up in the middle of whatever he was going on about... only to yell, and run right off the feed. The feed bobs and turns to show him being chased around the room by one of the fluffy wet sled dogs any of the Earthside Transports might be familiar with. There’s some yelling and then he goes right over a bench.

Trained professionals, everybody.

[A hand reaches out to the camera, and it whirls around to show Philip, who is looking incredibly amused.]

Ah, it looks as if Mrs. Darrow has received our weekly provisions. As Shotaro has said, we are private detectives. Feel free to contact either of us on the network if you wish to become a client.

[The dog runs by and Philip gives it a cursory pat on the head and points it to where Shotaro is hiding.]

If you don’t mind that your detective is not quite as hard-boiled as he claims to be.


ooc: replies will come from both shotaro and philip!

[Kili is pink cheeked and grinning, practically bursting with excitement as he greets the network.]

Fili, I found a forge!

It needs...um...a lot of help. [He turns the screen to the forge, which has clearly been abandoned for some time, half buried in snow and ice and burnt out rafters, before turning it back to himself.] But I've asked around and no one's claimed it. It's just been sitting here. Can't believe we didn't see it earlier!

And for everyone else -- this is going to be a bit of a project. Any help you could offer would be great. We'll give you a discount on your first purchase with us! [Yes, Kili did just wink. Clearly he's in a good mood.] Trust me, once you have seen dwarvish metalwork, you won't want anything else. Very high quality, and Fi and I have been doing this since we were old enough to work a bellows. The sooner we get this running, the sooner we can start making anything you need -- weapons, tools, jewelry, even.

[The video feed shakes, and it seems like Kili's done some kind of little dance of excitement.] Fi, get over here!

To help you get in the party spirit, I have also put together accompanying Birthday EP, downloadable for your convenience. It would be longer, but I am limited to what I can "rip" off my iPod, since my full library is on a harddrive on a ship which isn't here.

3- Candle on The Cake - Quincy Jones
4- Happy Birthday, Baby- Elvis Presley

Hello everyone.

[ Video feed opens up with Sophie sitting in the room of her cabin. Behind her is her stuffed rabbit and her fluffy pet cat Lion Carnival taking a nap on her pillow. She holds her arm up high, waving to all the viewers. ]

So my friend Sora told me more about Christmas. Not only does Santa come by to give presents, but you can sing carols on this holiday too.

[ She stands up. ]

He taught me a lot of great songs. There's this one called Jingle Bells and it goes like this:

[ Clearing her throat, she starts singing (more like parroting) in the exact horrible tone-deaf way that Sora taught her. The singing causes Lion Carnival to wake up, hop off the bed and run off screen...

As she sings, she dances side to side, swinging her arm. ]


Jingle bells, jingle bells- jingle all the way! ♫

Oh! What fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh.


[ The tone deafness ends here. Aren't there more words to this...? Well, Sora didn't even know. For the rest of the song, she starts to sing "la la la" to the rest of the Jingle Bells tune. Strangely, her "la la"-ing is more in tune than what Sora taught her... ]

La la la, la la la~♪
