Christmas Party & Cheer

[goddessofthesky]

WHO: OPEN
WHEN: FORWARD DATED: December 22nd
WHERE: Christmas Town
WHAT: Celebrating the snow, the holidays, good cheery, warm fires and friends.
WARNING: Mistletoe?



With Rukia's help they were able to find a large enough hall in Christmas Town to throw the party. Zelda had set it for this day since a group of brave heroes were going to set out on the 24th. She had made sure that everything was perfect and of course everyone was invited. There were at least six decorated trees with polished silver and gold ornaments hanging from their branches. Scarlet red ribbons decorated the trees and tables with large bows tying the streaming trails together.

There was one very large tree at the halls center and there were a few presents around the bottom for those who needed a place to put gifts. At it's top was a large pointed star.

Champagne and small finger snacks were set on the tables and a part of the room was cleared for those who wanted to dance. Zelda was even able to hire a few people to play Christmas songs throughout the night. There was a table dedicated to sweets with cookies, cakes, small pies and other wonderful treats spread out for people to try.

Among the decorations was mistletoe. This little plant hung above the doorways waiting for any pair who happens to be caught in their hold. Most of the mistletoe was thanks to Minako but Zelda might have put up one sprig at the entrance to the party; it's all in good fun and kisses on the hand or cheek are perfectly acceptable.

[ooc: feel free to make open posts and tag around! It's a party!]

[Zelda removes the mistletoe from her lips with a surprised gasp at Rukia's suggestion. She knows that it's poisonous and she has no intention of eating it but she has a habit of bringing her fingers to her lips. In this case the mistletoe happened to be there as well.

There is a noticeable blush spreading across Zelda's cheeks as her fingers tug at her dress.]

I'm sure that there isn't anyone who wants that.

[She sounds a little sad about it, not that she wants to go around kissing people but because she wants to be with those she cares about and she knows they might not all be here tonight.]

[damn_juicebox]

I can think of a few.

[But she really doubts Zelda would want to kiss Graham. That seems like it would end up badly for everyone involved.]

We're not going to have to play truth or dare again, are we?

[Rukia grins with a light nudge from her elbow. She'd honestly like to see her friend have a good time tonight, since she worked so hard to host all of this.]

Enjoying the Village so far? Your recipes have been popular with the children.

[Zelda's cheeks flush brightly at the thought though she tries to play it off. Rukia knows better than most the sort of romantic that Zelda is. While her heart is completely ensnared it also worries and there are more than a few men who have the ability to get her flustered.]

No truth or dare needed.

[It was fun but also a bit of a dangerous game.]

I've really been enjoying it. I've always loved baking and being able to do so in large quantities is fantastic. I love seeing everyone's smiles as they bite into a cookie.

[damn_juicebox]

It does have a certain appeal.

[Rukia inclines her head in agreement, smiling. She's liked the little visitors who showed up at the office. They're actually at eye level with the tiny shinigami.]

I put your present under the tree. Feel free to open it tonight, or on Christmas day itself.

[Zelda nods with a smile.]

I will. Thank you.

[She hadn't been expecting so many presents but then there are a lot more heroes here this year.]

I hope you didn't spend too much.

[damn_juicebox]

Tch.

[Rukia scoffs at that, smirking as she turns away.]

Don't worry about that. We make too much money in our jobs as it stands. It doesn't do any good to keep giving it to O'aka. I may as well boost the local economy while showing my gratitude to dear friends.

[But she got the book in Mysidia. That's not local at all!]

[goddessofthesky]

[Zelda looks at the gift, her lips curling into a wide happy smile.]

It's wonderful.

[She turns the small book over in her hand and then inspects the ribbons that had come with it.]

Thank you.
