Happy Pawlidays (Mayaka)

[holidaygirl1225]

[It's Noelle's favorite time of the year! Unfortunately, creating decorations can be difficult for her without opposable thumbs... but she can at least help set them up! She meets with Mayaka in the low-tier housing.]

Hi again! How are you settling in? Are you ready for a quest?

Happy Pawlidays (Bigby)

[holidaygirl1225]

[Lately, Noelle has a little extra spring in her step. It's certainly a positive upswing from her depressive episode of the last few months... and it doesn't seem forced, either. This is right after Noelle and Shoka spoke, too. How curious.

She also brings along one of his misshapen gingerbread cookies to the baking lesson. It's old and ready to be thrown out. Noelle insists it's there to compare 'before and after'.]

Hey, Bigby! I'm glad you could make it!!

Holiday Baking Special (with Kris)

[ooc: very likely Deltarune spoilers throughout this thread.]

[Noelle has spent more of her time in the kitchen than out of it lately. It makes her happy to work on something productive that other people can enjoy... and she offered cookies as a quest reward for information regarding Dess, so she owes plenty of cookies. She invited Kris over because apparently someone needs to order them to eat now, so after making sure they had some food, she kinda-sorta forced them to stay and help her gather ingredients and watch the cookies in the oven.

At least when they're like this, they probably won't eat all her cookies before they cool like they used to? Still, it's weird, thinking there's someone else in their head. Especially someone who...

... she doesn't need to finish that thought.]

So, Kris, um...

[How does she talk to them now? It's not like they've really worked out the rift between them-- the many years they spent avoiding her, or the fact they 'don't remember' doing all of that awful stuff to her, or the million questions she has. But if she doesn't handle this delicately, they'll just go back to avoiding her.]

... do you still like gingerbread cookies?

Humbug (with Agnes)

[holidaygirl1225]

Noelle has been around ovens so much with her baking that she hasn't felt quite as cold as before-- or maybe it's the surprising amount of support she's received. Or even both. Regardless, she hasn't seen Agnes around lately.

A sudden fear that she may have just disappeared drives Noelle to check on her. She gingerly climbs up the Canopy and taps on Agnes's door with a hoof. "Hi, um, is anyone home? It's Noelle."
