December 16th

Having convinced everyone to go caroling, Mayura was extremely hyper. She'd dressed in an old Victorian dress for the occasion and made sure the others did likewise. She trotted over to Loki's house, full of excitement and happiness. She loved this time of year and couldn't wait to experience it with her friends.

A hand rested on her shoulder and she came out of her thoughts. "Ready to go, Mayura?"

"Hai!" she turned and then promptly became speechless at the sight before her.

Loki winked at her from behind his wire-rimmed glasses, his period costume making him look even more handsome than usual. The flowing cape and lion's head cane gave him the appearance of royalty and she was hard pressed not to drool at the sight.

Someone cleared their throat and Mayura shook herself out of her thoughts. She flushed and giggled. "Kazumi-san!"

Heimdall scowled at them all, particularly Loki, who didn't bother to hide his smirk. Mayura had insisted on them dressing up, and thus, he was stuck in a Victorian boy's play outfit. Loki had made a comment about how it showed off his legs handsomely and had been kicked in the leg for his remark.

Mayura, Freya and the Norns were dressed in exquisite dresses, Mayura's a deep burgundy while Freya's was a soft sapphire. The Norns had alternating colors, one green, yellow and purple.

Each of the men, save for Heimdall, were dressed in long flowing garments with capes. It was almost like they'd all stepped back into time and were now in Victorian England.

This idea greatly excited Mayura, since that was some of her favorite time periods. So many wonderful mysteries had come out of that era or were made for it. It was like being in London, seeing and hearing all about Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson and the adventures they had together in solving cases.

Grinning at the group, Mayura linked her arm in Loki's and lead the way. This was going to be so much fun!
