Elf Tails [Event | Kumiko]

"Clean, clean, clean." Kumiko hummed to herself while busy wiping down the guild hall's floor with a mop and her trusty bucket, assisting the cleaning staff in their duty of sanitizing the place from top to bottom every week or so. They enjoyed the girl's willingness to help and her even quicker pace at racing around from room to room. What took her mind off of it would be the many kind of decorations lining the walls for the holidays here. There were trees with shining, shimmering lights and decorations of all kinds of colors. Kumiko had been confused at first and asked around before receiving her answer in the form of confused stares and general disbelief. "Christmas?" she repeated, her irises only showcasing her confusion. Back in Midi, they never celebrated such types of events and typically only did birthdays and potentially especially important midian holidays. It was one of the unfortunate realities of growing up in a traditional family such as theirs. "What's a Christmas?" She was given the briefest of explanations before the doors to the guild hall would be thrown wide open as a merry looking Mura would walk through. Her orange furred ears twitched as she spun around and waved towards the guildmaster.

"Ohaiyou, Guildmaster, sir!" she smiled while Mura would ask her to come out to the festival outside. Was this like some sort of secret mission?! She didn't want to leave Mura all high and dry! "Wow! Sure, let's go!~" The child ran towards the guildmaster and hopped down the stairs outside, where the people and events would be in high spirits. Kumi would scatter off in search of fun and food before spinning around to Mura with a single question. "Oh, Guildmaster, sir? What's Christmas? And where are the peppermints? And food?"

Her yellow tails swayed in all directions as the girl's head would swivel around like a cat who was ever so eagerly searching for some kind of stimulation to seek her answers from. The myriad of lights and falling snow was enough to capture the girl's interest away from the crowd of people who had come to look down at her many questions about the season. She was somewhat distracted to really pay attention to any of their concealed opinions about her preferences with the holidays. Her smaller hand would lie comfortably in Mura's, squeezing as her tails bobbed along. "Wow, everything's all cold and snowy. I've never seen Midi like this. Usually it's all plain." The youth commented up until Kyuken, the ever eccentric and possibly perverted samurai spirit had been screaming about some of the trees nearby or other. Her head turned to face the onslaught of trees and Kyun's evident bed wetting fear towards their leafy brethren. She shot the guild master of Fairy Tail a confused look while trying to gently coax the spirit out of his terrified gaze. "What's wrong, Kyuken? Did a tree say something bad about you?" Regardless of his answer,  the barren and snow covered trees of Magnolia would be lit up, with some being surrounded by eager festive dwellers with boxes full of decorations to be hung up. Kumi watched with a great interest as a woman would climb the stage and welcome all the festival attendees, carrying with her some kind of strange wireless microphone of some kind. So they were dressing up trees? Was it because they were naked? If you were supposed to dress up all trees, then how come the trees in the forests weren't done up the same way? This Christmas thing seemed very confusing, but Kumiko would see it through so Mura and Kyuken would be super proud of her!

"We can do it!" Kumiko said, puffing her chest out proud with her five tails brushing against one another as she followed Mura up towards one of the trees. The announcer was surprised like always, mostly on the account of the guild master of Fairy Tail (and beyond what Kumi knew, one of the Saints) would participate in the festivities. The younger mage stood besides while gazing up at the tree to see what work they had cut out for them. She retrieved one of the many boxes that had ornaments and lights inside. Or at least that's what the two would assume would be inside of their box. Instead, a mass of broken decorations awaited them inside. The lights were hopelessly tangled, ornaments broken with the best looking ones housing some pretty nasty looking cracks. "Hey, no fair. Everything's broken." Kumiko pouted, holding the box for Mura to see and then the presenter in a huff. She offered a sorrowful shrug but motioned for the child and Mura to begin. Although her mood have been altered somewhat, the young wizard of Fairy Tail must continue onwards for the tree decorations! She raced along the tree with Mura and Kyuken, placing what lights she could on trees, dishing out some shoddy ornaments and looking back to them for approval. Sure this tree looked about as dapper as a dumpster sock, but that wasn't the point of the season...or something. When Kumi finished, she spun back around for the presenter to judge their worth. "Well...Uh, it's a tree with lights at least." She chuckled to herself, diving into her pocket and dug out three peppermints for the girl. "It might not be first place, but here's a complimentary prize, our ever gracious protectors~"

Excited about her (somewhat) victory, the kitsune kid accepted the treats and spun around to the next thing that stuck out in her mind: this time being a small stand surrounded by a small crowd of people as a podium in the middle would be raised for the person standing to see over the crowd. On there currently, a young girl about Kumiko's (apparent) age would be singing. As she finished, the crowd erupted into applause as Kumiko herself would bound towards the stage as the other girl would exit. Once on top, the tailed girl would reach the podium and find a little booklet of lyrics in a song. Kumiko flipped to a random page and cleared her throat as she began to sing.

"Uh, We wish you a merry Christmas! We wish you a merry Christmas. We wish you a merry Christmas, and a happy new year!"
