Christmas "Meme"

Jingle Bells! Jingle Bells!

Welcome to the Dinohouse Christmas "meme"! This is going to work a bit differently from most memes, but still free free to do what you want here!

The idea:
Following this post I will be making an assortment of Universe/Location "thread" comments. These will define the specific scene and universe being worked in. Comments by applicable characters will follow under that comment.

Example:
Mushverse; Shiba Mansion; open to Shinkengers

Comments following that would all be set in the Mushverse universe, be by any Shinkengers that want to participate, and take place at the Shiba Mansion Christmas party. Think of it sort of like every "top level" comment is its own post to the community.

Following that example, if your desired AU/Canon/etc isn't there, feel free to make a "thread" for it! Say there's already a Mushverse Go-busters "thread", and you want to do something in Aibouverse, or something more canon, maybe just between two characters? Make one!

Comments following the "thread" headings can be group setting free for all, or between individuals. Say it's a canon GokaiGalleon party, and Gai and Luka want to go off alone, or are on their way to the Galleon together? Their thread can be a separate second level comment thread beneath the main Canon Gokaiger thread.

I know that's a lot of information/qualifiers, but don't let it make you nervous to post, "rules" are fluid, and mainly set for added organization.

HAVE FUN. And enjoy the season!

No Christmas light would shine in on our misery. That's how it should be. I don't even bother to talk to him so much as I just slump, listlessly back against the brick wall. The wall's cold and unyielding, just like the life we face outside.

Everything is cold and the meager comfort of my jacket only persists to remind me just how cold it is. It's better that way, though--my aibou and I don't need the harsh light, the hot warmth, not even a delicious cup of cocoa.

All we have, all we need, is right here with us. The trash of the world. The discarded, useless things.

My aniki is strong. Yaguruma has always been the strong one. The cold reminds me mostly of everything I don't have and don't deserve. If we were to die, freezing to death in the darkness, then that would be the most perfect death.

The air was littered with the faint smell of treats that persisted just to remind us how far a hell we've fallen to. The muffled sounds of joy, cheer and togetherness served as out shackles.

We use to have all of those things back when we were fools.

I walk past the fools, my steps deliberate and my pace measured. I stop long enough to toss packets of instant hot cocoa and a package of cookies that Juka had made at their feet.

I look at each of them in turn, "Grandmother says this: 'Those who are the most undeserving of Christmas cheer are those who need it most.'"

Without awaiting a reply, I turn and walk away, they're on the path of Hell, and even a moment of my light is too good for them.
