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!

[ under a bridge, or out by the dumpster, or even out by someone's trash cans in the street sit my partner and I. we drift, it's only right.

there's no place in the light for us, and the light changes direction constantly. its rays are too harsh for losers like us. I have to find some way to spare us.

I hand him a barely-lukewarm styrofoam container of ramen. it's more than we deserve, but better to eat than starve for someone to find us and judge us or laugh at him. I sit down next to him and open my own meager dinner. ]

It had been a while since the RPM Rangers' arrival in Japan and Dillon still didn't have a clue what they were looking for. He knew Ziggy didn't either, despite his claiming otherwise, and he didn't believe anything Scott claimed to know on the matter. Flynn, Tenaya and the twins seemed more open about not having a clue, like him, or they were just better at hiding it. Whatever Dr K had sent them for, they hadn't found it yet.

Ditching the other Rangers, Dillon decided to strike out on his own for awhile. While he was much more used to being around friends now, he still relished being on his own on occasion. It was the lone wolf in him.

And it was because he was alone that he noticed the man having trouble talking to a local. The man was clearly not from here, being as tall if not taller then Dillon, and had the looks of an American poster boy. The uniform was not something he recognized but reminded him vaguely of the military who ran Corinth. It seemed like the man had a device that was supposed to act like a translator but it didn't seem to be helping him much.

Dillon waffled for a moment before giving a sigh and heading over. He might as well save the local the hassle of dealing with this guy. "Can I help you?" He asked the local in Japanese before turning a skeptical look to the annoyed looking Westerner. "You lost?" He asked, much less politely. SPD, said the other man's uniform, now that Dillon could see it up close. Yep, definitely not from around here.

[Simon wanted Dillon, and more Ranger action in Mushverse in general, so have Dillon with bonus Sky! Flynn can be around too, as I think those are the only three of mine introduced so far.]

It's the same all over again... well... sort of. I peek out from behind the curtain as the orchestra files out on stage to take their positions. I don't get a seat, since I was invited as a guest violinist. Instead, there's a microphone and music stand set up for me near the conductor. I don't really need the stand... I'm only playing one song, and it's my father's song that I've been playing for years.

Maybe it's worse that it's only one song... what if I screw up playing the one melody that's nearest to my heart? I can see my friends in the front row - Nago-san, the cafe owner, Megumi-san, Shizuka-chan, and Kengo-kun. I know it's not Kengo-kun's taste in music, but I'm glad he's here. And then there's the rest of the audience. This isn't like the time Shizuka-chan invited the ladies from the neighborhood to hear me play. Aside from my friends, I'm not sure I know anyone else in the room.

I suddenly hear the conductor call my name. I was agonizing so much over my performance, that I didn't notice the orchestra had already played through the pieces leading up to mine. I walk out slowly, trying desperately to mask my nerves and block out the modest applause. I watch the conductor as I make my trek, and he nods when I get to the microphone. "I'm Kurenai Wataru," I carefully say into it.

I bring the violin up to my chin, and ready the bow. I momentarily catch my friends' eyes, and it's the best I can do to keep the feeling of panic off my face. I take a deep breath, close my eyes, and begin to play.

When I finish, the applause is stronger. I smile, relieved that it's finally over, bow to everyone in the hall (including the conductor and the rest of the orchestra), and quickly make my way back to my green room.

After the concert ends, I notice my friends waiting by the exit. They're all full of smiles and hugs and handshakes. But what's surprising is how many other people are also waiting.

I'm thinking maybe it's about time we head back to Japan, Speedor and me. I know something's wrong, even if Hiroto and Miu aren't telling me so over the phone, because our nightly phone calls are much shorter than they used to be, with a sight less, um. Inappropriate overtures.

Plus I just miss them.

I plan on surprising them when I get back (I can keep secrets too!). I make sure I pack everything up properly, especially my gifts for my team. Especially my gifts for Hiroto and Miu.

It'll be nice not to have to be inappropriate over the phone anymore. Being inappropriate in person is a lot more fun, and doors lock. Phones, kind of don't. Really.
