Community Event 3: Happy Holidays!

[itsabelle]

Okay, okay, she got volunteers this time. She kind of had to in order to get the lights, tinsel, and various decorations up and around the room. Yes, that massive tree and all the ornaments were not possible to get up by the small dog alone. Not only that, but she asked everyone in Future Foundation, Hope's Army, and other friends to contribute an ornament to this tree.

"It looks great! Now, get that table over there! Oh, make sure the presents are under the tree... not that under! That table goes next to the tree for the Secret Santa gifts. Perfect!"

Bells jingling, she walked over to inspect the food. Looked great with turkey with stuffing, ham, and cinnamon baked apples, but she encouraged people to bring food from home too. For her, she paused at the fruitcake, tail wagging. This was her contribution after learning humans didn't like fruitcake for some reason; she was determined to make one everyone would like. Drinks of coffee, hot chocolate, non-alcoholic cider, and eggnog, she was going to keep this family-friendly... mostly. Again, she tried to accommodate for everyone.

Music? Check. Tables? Check. Laptop to contact Kalos? Check check. Looking up and at several areas in the room, mistletoe was a check. With a smile and nod, she hopped over to the doors and opened them.

"Happy Holidays everyone! Enjoy yourselves!"

[OOC: As said, have fun! Gonna post a few optional thread, but feel free to make your own.]

Harvey and Kureha

[itsabelle]

[I swear this was all random.]

[kurechin]

[ ... you know, if Kureha didn't trust Isabelle enough to know she wouldn't pull a stunt like that, she'd suspect this was on purpose but. Oh well.

So. She's got him a gift. And she's feeling all kinds of awkward but she goes to deliver them in person anyway. She's got something she wants to say. ]

Um. Mister Finevoice...?

[milliondollarpipes]

[Oh. Harvey doesn't tense, exactly, but he definitely looks slightly nervous. His therapy Pokemon Chansey doesn't seem to be around just at the moment - there's no easy buffer between them.]

Oh. Uh, hey kid. Merry Christmas.

[kurechin]

Y--yeah. Merry Christmas.

[ she takes in a shaky breath, fidgeting with the paper wrapped around that bouquet she's carrying. ]

It looks like we got each other for the... Santa thing. Isabelle's gift swap.

[milliondollarpipes]

Yeah, I...I put yours under the tree. Thought we were doin' that different.

[This is a total lie. He did it to avoid this exact scenario.]

C'mon, I'll grab it. [He turns to go towards the tree - it's only in the corner over there.]

[kurechin]

Y--yeah, I-- I would've left it for you somewhere but...

[ well. flowers. she doesn't want them getting squished and droopy.

she follows him, very clearly wishing she'd gotten literally anyone else on Isabelle's little list. she knows she and Harvey have to talk at some point but. is Christmas really the time for it. ]

[milliondollarpipes]

[Honestly, Harvey hasn't quite registered that the flowers are for him. People don't really get him flowers. He'd only given them half a thought, figured they were a gift she got from somebody else and dismissed it.]

Yeeeeeeeah...

[He picks up a rectangular wrapped package from beneath the tree and hands it to her.]

So, uh. Merry Christmas.

[...SHIT HE SAID THAT ALREADY]
