Christmas Party & Cheer

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!]

Ho ho ho! Hello there Jade!

[Cloud waves as he finds the military man. He'd been giving out gifts to everyone all evening, but a few people like Jade had been avoiding the main crush of the crowds. That meant Cloud had to come to him.

Finishing in his bag, Cloud pulls out a small wrapped box and holds it out in offering.

I hope you're enjoying the party, and all the work we've been doing prepping this village for the Celebration!

[Well.

He has heard about the effects of the Santa Job, but this is the first time he's seen it in action. This is interesting.]


I see you've been getting in the spirit of things, Cloud. Or is it Santa Cloud now?

[He raises an eyebrow when offered a gift, and after a beat picks up the small box.]

Oh? What's this?
neverfirstclass: (Laughing)

Something small to keep you warm this winter. And a thanks for all you've been doing as a Hero and for this Village.

[Inside the box is a simple scarf. Nothing terribly personalized since he doesn't know Jade that well, but Cloud did make a point of making sure everyone would get something at least.]

You can call me Santa Cloud if you want, for a few more days at least ho ho ho!
jadethenecromancer: (shall we be on our way?)

Is that so? Well, thank you.

[Nevermind that Jade didn't actually lift a finger for the Santa Village. A free scarf is a free scarf.]

I'm rather curious now. Does the Job actually change your personality, or do you just enjoy getting in character?

[Cloud rolls his neck and shoots Jade a half smirk and half smile. The man is sharp. Dangerously so.]

A bit of both. It's making me happier, but I also know it is. It's not taking away my ability to choose. I can feel that. But I do want everyone else to be happy. That's never been untrue.
jadethenecromancer: (I'm hilarious.)

I see... So it does influence your mood to an extent. I could imagine a number of battlefield applications for such an effect...

[...Is he talking about raising morale, or something more sinister? The world may (hopefully) never know.]

[Cloud's no stranger to Jade's line of thinking though, and the other military man gets a brief look as Cloud wonders if perhaps this man should have gotten coal instead.

But this is a celebration of good cheer so he pushes it off for the moment.

I don't think it would work the way you're hoping it would. Still, it has its time and place. And this time of year happens to be it. Bringing happiness and joy in the middle of those darkest nights of the year.
