WHAT Christmas in July
WHERE Every-fucking-where
WHEN Day 141 & 142

[IT'S THAT TIME OF YEAR. It's . . . well, time doesn't really work well here anyway, but it's been 'a while' since the last 'festive activities' so that's what's happening, right here, right now.

It's still warm enough for shorts and t-shirts, but there's also big fat snowflakes falling from the sunny sky, making piles of it that are pleasantly cool and don't seem to melt. Skating rinks! Palm trees and cacti decorated with pretty sparkly lights! Do we even have those? We do today.

Besides that, you can do whatever you want to, to get into the #mood:

• Mistletoe? Mistletoe for kissing, for cuddling, for whatever?
  
• Mysterious gifts with your name on them that turn out to be a long-lost item from your childhood?
  
• Blankets that you get trapped under until someone joins you in there to cuddle?
  
• [insert your fun here]

What's your favorite?

[coldhand]

Will you laugh if I said I liked the lindy hop?

[thismightaswellhappen]

[grins]

Maybe, but in a charmed way. I sort of know how to lindy.

[coldhand]

I could learn something new.

[thismightaswellhappen]

Or you could teach me. I'd like that.

[coldhand]

I could teach you.

[thismightaswellhappen]

You don't mind leading, do you?

[coldhand]

I like leading.

[thismightaswellhappen]

Then we have a date.

[coldhand]

Yeah? So when should I put this date on my calendar?

[thismightaswellhappen]

I think you have a busier schedule than I do, you tell me.

[coldhand]

What gives you that impression?

[thismightaswellhappen]

Well—you have things going on with Steve, right...? And I know he got engaged, so I imagine you have, I'm trying to figure out a way to end this sentence with something other than "a social life" for the sake of my pride.

[coldhand]

He is... and I'm sort of seeing his fiance too...

My life's got pretty weird.

[thismightaswellhappen]

...

Wow.

[a little gleefully teasing maybe]

[coldhand]

Why don't I get the feeling you're sympathetic?

[amused]

[thismightaswellhappen]

I didn't realize this was a situation that called for sympathy.

[coldhand]

Well. Maybe it doesn't.

[thismightaswellhappen]

But I can see how it'd be weird.

[coldhand]

Very weird. Maybe not bad weird, but weird.

[thismightaswellhappen]

What's his fiance like?

[coldhand]

Vasya? Nice. He's... I don't know. More like me than I realized at first.

In some ways.

Not like me at all in others.

[thismightaswellhappen]

Oh, yeah...?

[coldhand]

I think we both have a hard time figuring out what we're doing.

[thismightaswellhappen]

In what sense?
