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.

[well- it wouldn't be right to deprive her of it! If Sika does decide she wants one of her own- well, she can ask for where they got it, and then go there herself! Right?]

Maybe we should get a few more and see what they all sound like together!

[…this is something that can't possibly go wrong.

K'pandolu nods, ears flicking forward for a moment.]

I suppose, if matters were that terrible there… people's spirits would be rather dimmed. [certainly that was the case with All Saint's Wake.] Limited how? [she tilts her head, disconcerted. He seems the right age for the Starlight Celebration…]

Prepared- ah! Yes. One moment…

[she rummages through her inventory pockets for a moment, and produces a box.]

For you.

[and inside is a pair of garnet earrings, with a note in careful handwriting that says simply 'For strength'.]

[no1]

[ She's clearly speaking Hana's language, and that is endless optimism in the face of failure. ]

I've tried wearing two at once, but it didn't work out, kupo.... [ Really. ] Who knows, maybe you would have more luck than me! Hopefully, they'll keep their business open for when we can pay them a visit, kupo.

[ Surely, there would always be an endless demand for useless Christmas hats, even long after another year has rolled around!

Meanwhile, Ace calmly proceeds with an explanation. ]

It was just me and my siblings when I was growing up, and we never really had an opportunity to see other people. As you can see... I am hardly an expert.

[ And, as if that's the easiest thing in the world, he completes his answer with a smile. For somebody who has spent the majority of his life in isolation, there isn't any regret to be detected in his voice, or any trace of sadness, at all; it's just the way it is.

The reaction that follows is somewhat less controlled, though the smile stays where it has been. Yes, she's managed to take him aback slightly, but at least he has the means to return the kindness. ]

... Ah, I meant in general, since you seemed to be in your spirit. [ Well, it is a bit awkward. Timidly, he bows his head. ] But thank you. If it's all right, I will retrieve yours in a moment, it's still under the tree.

[ And since she's been so eager about handing it over, he figures he shouldn't make her wait for too long, carefully opening the box. Now he can look like a true jrpg character. It felt... unusual, to see jewelry within, but he greatly appreciates the gesture, wondering whether the choice of crimson was random, or perhaps....

His eyes catch the sight of the little note, and he nods at K'pandolu, his expression bright. ]
