Hello, everyone! [ comes a chipper greeting. This is Rosie's first time addressing the collective of displaced individuals like herself, so... She wants to make a good impression!
As she talks though, her hands are busy working beneath the framed screen on something. It sounds like paper being folded, maybe, but she's able to look away from it to smile into the lens. ]
The end of the year usually means lots of holidays where I'm from, which got me thinking what other worlds might celebrate. I figured it might be fun to talk about and, like, compare notes in a way!
Specifically: What are your New Year's traditions? Mine always involved lots of special food and it's the only day of the year you'll catch me awake at sunrise, but- I'd like to know what other people do! [ She pauses briefly as something occurs to her- ] Even if your New Year isn't the first too! Some cultures on my world could also be using different calendars so their new year wasn't until later.
[ That seems to be it, maybe, as she pauses again. She promised (herself, mostly) she'd try to let people in a little more so... ]
I'm also, uh, not used to doing a New Year's celebration by myself anymore, so- If anyone wants to do anything together, like, you can just. Let me know!
[ Before she can embarrass herself any further, the blond reaches out to end the video hastily. ]

people do that where I'm from, too!
actually that was my ex's preferred way to spend the holiday, I think
but he humored me doing other traditions too
I can definitely provide people the food!
Japanese food though
ever had soba?
no subject
You've been to Japan?
And won't it be kinda hard? Getting food from Japan in a place like this?
no subject
you're cute
I'm from Japan, actually!!
and I know how to make the important things, like New Year soba
and mochi!
no subject
And that all sounds pretty good.
Good way to kick off a party.
Think you'll need help with anything?
no subject
oh, huh,
actually, a new year's party would be fun...
I've never hosted one myself! usually just showed up to other people's
hm
I was going to make mochi ice cream too
and won't say no to a man good with his hands to help!!
no subject
Yeah, I'll stop by to help.
How hard can it be?
no subject
I appreciate it
mochi is honestly easier
but if you want a challenge I'm sure I can find something
