❄ HOLIDAY BASH ❄



Welcome to the totally rad holiday-themed party happening in a pretty sweet castle in the middle of nowhere! You were invited here by someone who was invited by someone else and--actually you have no idea who's hosting. You know how these things work. You think you saw Leonardo DiCaprio on a balcony when you were walking up the driveway, but it was probably just your imagination. Or a ghost. Spooky.

Whether you end up running into familiar faces or not, there seems to be plenty going on!

There's a food table covered with all sorts of sweet and savoury delights alike next to an open bar for all your rum and eggnog needs.

There's a piano trio playing jazzy holiday music in the corner who are also willing to provide karaoke instrumentals if you're feeling up to it.

Near the windows is a big Christmas tree with countless gifts beneath--you'll probably find at least a few with your name on them!

Need a break, or looking for some privacy? There are several small rooms branching off from the main room with comfy couches available for a quick nap. (Or other things, but keep in mind that a place as nice as this probably has security cameras everywhere.) Fresh air can be found easily out on one of the various balconies! What a romantic view.

Oh, and don't forget about the mistletoe! If you're found under one with someone else, you might find your wrist tied to theirs with a length of pretty red ribbon that'll stay there until you smooch. (What kind of castle is this?)

Anyway, the party seems to be carrying on 'til at least New Year's, so remember to sleep, eat, and stay hydrated, and most of all, have fun!

[ Threads have been set up for general areas of interest, but please feel free to post a new top comment if you have other ideas! Also, the mistletoe is literally everywhere so you have total freedom with when and where you happen to get tied up.

Lovingly yoinked from altarianite! ]

❄ FOOD TABLE / BAR

[twistingkage]

[unblazedtrail]

[The fuck am I doing here, I am a hermit???]

[braveredrose]

[Sorry Red, you may or may not have a small child underfoot.

Or, if not underfoot, at least in the immediate vicinity, making suspicious faces at various things on the food table.]

[entrainement]

[Sorry, Red, there's a Charizard that's not yours reaching over to get at the food.]

[paradoxist]

[Please excuse him he is loading a plate full of food while trying really, really hard to avoid any of the mistletoe.

... He'll make an exception for someone but...]

[onlythankyou]

[Well...there's a red ribbon tied around your pinky, leading way across the room somewhere. Nobody is under this mistletoe with you - maybe it has someone in specific in mind for you?]

[bravian]

[ yosuke's at one end of the food table, tugging in mild discomfort at the tie around his neck. he was tempted to take it off entirely, but a certain someone had made him promise to wear it (along with the rest of the incredibly crisp but admittedly sharp black suit he was currently donning) if he was going to attend the upscale party. he had to admit -- the food was so good it was almost worth feeling like he was locked in a permanent choke-hold by the length of golden fabric. he's reaching for a sixth dainty (some kind of... chocolate fudge thing? maybe?) when he notices the red ribbon that has suddenly appeared around his wrist. what? when did that get there?

looks like you've been mistletoe'd, yosuke! not that he has any idea what that means yet. now, who's got the other end of that ribbon...? ]

[foglifting]

[Well, he's not going to have to look too far at least. Souji was just helping himself to a drink (after having made sure it was non-alcoholic) when he noticed the ribbon that was suddenly around his wrist.

... So of course the first thing he does, once he sets down his drink, is give it a tug.]

[justiceinheaven]

[She probably isn't who Yosuke expected to be on the other end of that ribbon. Nanako was just innocently reaching for a plate of cookies, but it wasn't her short arms that stopped her -- it was a ribbon stubbornly tied around an arm going for a different plate. That wasn't there before...]

Yosuke? [Did you do this?]

[healthepot]

[... But what even is a Christmas?????

at least the food's good though]

[herolikedad]

[Food is indeed good and is being disgustingly devoured by a wannabe hero]

Wow! [munch] This food [munch munch] is soo [munch munch] good!!

[soccerwhisperer]

[guess who's probably sticking his face in the chocolate fountain]

[doingthemistything]

T-Tenma! I don't think you're supposed to stick your whole face in the chocolate fountain--

[makajamaon]

[He is trying so, so hard to not load up his plate with ridiculous amounts of food but everything looks so good...

Hopefully he'll be excused if he bumps into anyone, although at this rate he may end up tied to someone under the mistletoe without realizing it.]

NO ICONS YET YOLO

[ajustworld]

[Well uh. That sure is a red ribbon around your wrist, buddy.]

❄ KARAOKE STAGE

[twistingkage]

[entrainement]

[So maybe she's not actually on the karaoke stage, but!! With all this lovely music, someone can't help but dance.

If you're looking particularly bored or grumpy, you might find yourself accosted by her--] Hey, c'mon, the music's lively, come dance with me!

❄ GIFT EXCHANGE

[twistingkage]

[foglifting]

[Well, isn't this familiar

He's contributing a couple gifts of his own to the bunch under the tree, but also keeping an eye out for anyone he recognizes.]

[justiceinheaven]

[You have at least one gift that isn't actually under the tree. Incoming: one hug from your favorite little sister.]

Big bro~! Merry Christmas!

[northernimpact]

[Gazelle has a mysteriously wrapped box that's making worrisome ticking noises]

Now where is he.

[atomicflare]

[While Gazelle has that package, there's a very big one some distance away, wrapped with snowflake-patterned wrapping paper and... is that duct tape?

... It's also moving occasionally, and while the voice coming from the package is muffled, it's also probably familiar :U]

❄ PRIVATE ROOMS / BALCONIES

[twistingkage]

[avalanched]

[The noise of the party is fun, but Fubuki was always one for calmer environments like the stillness of mountain air. He's out here on the balcony enjoying the snow.

There's no soccer to be had right now, but maybe he could drag someone out to be like the wind anyway?]

[dreamisland]

[He's on one of the balconies, pensively gazing at the stars]
