[Open] something about lovely weather and sleigh rides together
Who: Ventus + you!
When: December 4-24
Where: Christmas Village, Aqures Ixen, places in between.
What: Spreading cheer and doing Christmas things following his letter and otherwise being a generous cinnamon roll. Whether volunteering or visiting, feel free to start your own threads!
Why: BECAUSE IT'S CHRISTMAAAS
Warnings: overzealous use of capslock on the mun's part but otherwise dude it's Christmas
4-6th - Christmas Village - Preparations
[Ven figured it would be a lot of work, but it turns out to be even more than that. He doesn't know much (anything) about the fine points of running any kind of business, but that's where Rae and his friends come in. As empty as the village is when he arrives on the cold morning of the fourth, it doesn't take long at all to procure a small building for their purposes, and from there both Hero and moogle have their work cut out for them.
The first few days are spent setting up as well as making the empty room more cozy for the volunteers; before long, the fireplace is lit and warming the place, and a few armchairs have been donated for those who want to work on their wares in-shop.
The decorations are still pretty lacking, though, and there are a lot more raw materials on hand than actual products. They do get a sign up out front, however, painted in Rae's girly handwriting:]
Holiday Hearts and Crafts
Decor, fashion, and custom orders kupo!
6-8th - Aqures, Balicea, Esdham - Advertising
[Once the basics are done and left to the other volunteers to manage, Ven and Rae head back to the home continent. They take his Chocobo from town to town, making deals with shop owners, buying more materials, attracting more volunteers (not least of all because Ven is generous with his new Christmas Spirit skill), posting flyers, and otherwise getting the word out about their craft shop. Any help is appreciated!]
9-24th - Christmas Village - Keepin' busy
[It's a slow start, but the business soon attracts a steady stream of customers; by the fifteenth, they have a long list of orders and a longer waiting list. Fortunately, Rae and those who assisted in advertising did manage to recruit a number of crafters from both continents in addition to those Ven initially spoke to, so there's a blend of humans, Bangaa, primal moogles, and others about at any given time (as well as Aqures moogles darting in with letters and materials and back out with packages). Orders have centered mostly around jewelry and warm clothing, but there's always a bit of everything in demand.]

Surprise, also open - Aqures
[She smiles at their approval and then sets it down on the counter.]
I think you should bring them with you. [Family should stay together.]
I'm going to be heading out soon as well if you need help.
Surprise, also open - Aqures
Yeah! Why not? I'm gonna be there for a while, anyway. [If he has to buy them some little sweaters or something, he will.
But that aside--]
I think I can handle it! But if you're going anyway, we can make the trip together.
[Company always rocks.]
Surprise, also open - Aqures
[Terra nods her head and then looks back towards the right corner of the store where piles of flowers stack high against the back wall. They are placed neatly in boxes but in Terra’s attempts to keep them separated and fresh looking there are at least 3 large filled boxes.]
What I have is light but it’s big. I wanted to make sure the flowers made it.
[She’s worked really hard hoping that this might help out.]
I need to load them onto my cart.
Surprise, also open - Aqures
Well, hey, I'm here! I can give you a hand with it. Is there anything else you're packing?
Surprise, also open - Aqures
I've already been there once and I have things I left in town last.
[Mostly clothes and things like that.]
Tempest and Tinker will be here to watch the shop.
[Tink is one of Tempest's friends from Flence, here for the holidays.]
