❄ 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 [plurk.com profile] altarianite! ]

Thanks! [And immediately tearing off the wrapping paper like the impatient jerk he is.]

[He delicately takes the hat out of the box to look at it, his smile widening. After a moment of looking at it, he immediately puts it on.]

I love it. Thank you, Nanako.

[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.]

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

NO ICONS YET YOLO

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

[Well, what's the Charizard going for? Charizard are kinda tall, maybe it'll help if Red lifts the plate over his head so Charizard can reach without bending so much.]

[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!

[... And then suddenly a ribbon! That actually gets him to pause and set his plate down.

... And, of course, pull on the darn thing. Tug, tug.]

[personal profile] ajustworld 2015-12-24 10:25 pm (UTC)(link)
[The ribbon shortens pretty violently in response, dragging someone else's hand over.]

Hey!
makajamaon: (10)

[personal profile] makajamaon 2015-12-24 10:27 pm (UTC)(link)
...!! [HE WASN'T EXPECTING THAT...]

Sorry, sor--Keisuke? I didn't know you were here too! [Yes, let's NOT address the ribbon tying their wrists together.]

[It looks like the big guy's going for a couple of the platters--a fruit platter and a meat and cheese one...

One platter at a time, though. The Charizard rumbles his thanks to Red as he hands one of the platters off to a waiting Espurr, who hefts it up with telekinesis and runs it over to a small crowd of waiting Pokemon. None of them look wild, especially if the Christmas-y gear each one has is any indication, but the trainer seems to be nowhere in sight...]

[personal profile] ajustworld 2015-12-24 11:05 pm (UTC)(link)
...Yeah. [Oh, it's just Ryuuji.] I thought it might be alright, since it's for Christmas.

[Nobody would bully someone on Christmas, right?]

[personal profile] makajamaon 2015-12-24 11:20 pm (UTC)(link)
[Ryuuji beams.] I'm glad to see you. The party's pretty nice!

... Could do without about half this mistletoe, though. [His smile turns a little sheepish.]

[It's a melty clock like the ones in Salvador Dali's painting and thankfully not a bomb]

Be glad it's not a bomb.

O--Oh...!

[of all things he was paranoid about, man-sized dragon was not one of them]

Hello. I don't think I've ever met a dragon before.

I needed to get away from the crowd before Rey decided to ruin it.

... Well, Dragon-types are fairly rare... Although Poivron isn't exactly a Dragon-type! He's Fire and Flying-typed.

[Honestly, it doesn't even occur to Serena that Pat's never seen any Pokémon at all before...]

[personal profile] atomicflare 2015-12-25 01:07 am (UTC)(link)
[Okay yes thank goodness it's not a bomb]

You wouldn't have. [Burn are you sure] ... But seriously though, thanks.

... Oh. [Quietly sipping at his hot chocolate]

Maybe I should've grabbed your present before I came out here.

[personal profile] ajustworld 2015-12-25 05:15 am (UTC)(link)
-Mistletoe? [Glancing upward, and...oh. Oh goodness.]
makajamaon: (02)

[personal profile] makajamaon 2015-12-25 05:18 am (UTC)(link)
[Following Keisuke's gaze upward and-- oh.

Well then.]
... Looks like we were caught without either of us realizing...

[personal profile] ajustworld 2015-12-25 05:27 am (UTC)(link)
[The ribbon connecting them shortens again, insistently.]

You don't think this ribbon is connected, do you?
makajamaon: (09)

[personal profile] makajamaon 2015-12-25 05:33 am (UTC)(link)
... It would explain why it keeps shortening.

[D-did it just shorten again for emphasis--]

[personal profile] ajustworld 2015-12-25 05:35 am (UTC)(link)
[It sure did. ...While Keisuke isn't opposed to kissing people under mistletoe (it's tradition, and it's not like it means anything), and while he's grateful he didn't get caught with a stranger...

...With another guy, though?!]

What do we do?
makajamaon: (01)

[personal profile] makajamaon 2015-12-25 05:47 am (UTC)(link)
[Honestly, Ryuuji's more bothered by the apparently magic ribbon than by the fact that he's caught under the mistletoe with a guy.]

... I'm not opposed to it if you're not? [AND HE JUST SAYS IT WITH A STRAIGHT FACE...]
