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.]

Secret Santa

[itsabelle]

[There's a table for Secret Santa. Of course, it's optional to use. People can of course deliver their gifts directly.]

Mistletoe

[itsabelle]

[Mistletoe, mistletoe, and kisses on the cheek will do for people who randomly find themselves there.]

[mopocalypse]

[Haruka has Meringue out and is bounding around the place, drinking hot chocolate and setting out a fancy Christmas cake. The tacky clothing has returned, and this time it's even Christmas-themed; seems she was right about ugly clothes giving her murderschool nostalgia. Meringue even has a little matching scarf that clashes horribly with the red ribbon on his head.

She might also have snuck around setting up more mistletoe around the place. Haruka's is plastic, though. Hey, she doesn't have that much cash.]

[Those who were expecting Duster to arrive in his suit will be surprised to find him wearing a green sweater and his regular bright red pants. He'll get to the double bass...eventually...but while Tazmily has a winter solstice festival, he wants to experience a Future Foundation Christmas to the fullest.

He helps Isabelle decorate the tree before the party because why have dogmom do all the work when you can reach the highest branches without the use of a stepladder?

Duster leaves Rope Snake to slither off and explore the table of food while he finds a comfy spot to sit and watch the wonderful gathering of people.]

[kurechin]

[ She's a little late (because it's kind of hard to keep track of the time in yuri bear world) but rest assured that come this Christmas party, Kureha is here. She's dressed up all fancy with her hair tied to the side in a neat low ponytail and she's got a big bag dangling from her arm that looks like it's full of presents -- to say nothing of the huge bouquet of purple hyacinths in her arms, but those are for her secret santa.

With that passed off, she's ready to mingle and catch up with everyone -- and probably give out the rest of her gifts, too. ]

[Like Dave would miss Christmas.

While he sometimes has a tendency to pull back to the sidelines at these events, Dave seems more excitable than not today, bursting with cheer in that weird way he somehow manages without straight-up beaming like a lighthouse. He's wearing an ugly Rapidash Christmas sweater that surely he had to order online--no self-respecting shop in Kalos would offer that--and generally wandering between the tables and the tree, warm cider always in hand.]

[washingawaysins]

[Oh right, it is Christmas, isn't it?

Wash is here, power armour and all sans his helmet. Without it he looks, well...he doesn't look worse than he did in murder hotel but it's still clear being back on Chorus has been rough on him after the everything that was what Monaka put them through.

Par the course, he's being the tallest, most heavily protected wallflower around but that doesn't mean he doesn't have a box full of presents sitting by his feet.]
