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.

[He has to think it over for just a moment, and then he nods his head.]

Yes, yes I do.

[scriptrix]

Okay. Here, then.

[Levy once again thrusts the gift forward. If and when Graham opens it, he'll find that it's a primer on the construction of Ancient technology from Mysidia.]

[Graham looks at it with awe for a moment.]

L-Let me tell you a-- a happy story! This is perfect! You got this from the Lost Continent? I never thought they'd have anything like this there.

[He was more distracted by the Enterprise than he was with anything else in Mysidia, really.]

[scriptrix]

Yeah. I know you like machines and stuff, so I thought this would be good. I don't know much about them myself.

[He starts to leaf through the book as he talks.]

I'm totally unprepared to reciprocate such generosity. "Reciprocate" is a great word, isn't it? I had no idea anyone would have gifts for me. My heart has been both filled with the spirits of generosity and guilt. But I'm grateful for this! I'll have to make it up, somehow. Mark my words.

[Is that a promise or a threat?]

[scriptrix]

Somehow?

[Levy blinks, her eyes going wide very briefly before she waves her hands in front of her face.]

You don't have to do that!

[bright_and_blue]

I don't? Isn't the point of all this to give and receive? It wouldn't be very much in the spirit of the season, and so far I hadn't cared to participate. Then people showed up with gifts for me. It's only right that I do the same!

But I suppose if you really don't want somethin', that's your decision. But you can't say I didn't offer.

[He shakes his head in disappointment.]

[scriptrix]

W-Wait! I didn't say I didn't want anything either!
