Teja is sitting by the fireplace with his harp, playing a harsh old song about iron and smithcraft that he may have heard somewhere.

It's on the very edge of what one may do with a harp, but this is Teja playing and singing, so he manages to keep the grim spirit of the song, even though he may not cause that much noise all by himself.

The cats, though, have temporarily deserted him.

Jo is eying her new T-Minus device.
Half-alive liquidy slime-thing that it is.

She's been tilting and turning, looking it over.



Which means it's about time she turned it on.

The Alternia sweep ends with a twelve day holiday interstice; the last day, Twelfth Perigee's Eve, is their least terrible holiday, and marks the culmination of a three hundred hour celebration of the most repulsive and dangerously heart-warming sentiments.

It is 12 day until the dawn of a new year here at Milliways, and Karkat has been prevailed upon to honor the season that it, technically, isn't. And deep down he has a sentimental streak of his own. Which is why he is set up at a table with a freshly-butchered and roasted-in-carapace giant scorpion carcass, and some doughy stuffed pastries. There is also a sign.

Karkat is having his beast with cider; there is no rule against multiculturalism.

Going through the contracts she was considering with Sam helped Cata narrow down the possibilities - and since then, she's been able to find out a bit more about the circumstances behind the lot of them. While she still thinks it's worth her time to take one...
Well. Let's just say she's got reason to be glad she proposed taking some backup.
To that end, she's at her usual table, keeping an eye on both the crowd and her T-Minus thing (mephiticConflagration); while she's looking for one person in particular in both cases, she's open to being bothered in either medium in the meantime.
