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 won't be able to read all of it now, but he'd definitely interested in doing so later.] How'd it all go, by the way?

[not_most_days]

[Mary's face sinks at the question, making the answer clear.]

Not as I would have liked. We nearly had our quarry, and it would have been easier to capture him than I worried, but then he became alerted to our presence and ran. By the time we caught him he must have found a way to signal for help, and this was after blocking our Job powers.

[Her eyes narrow and her tone lowers.]

Palitutu showed up and threatened to bring the Ultima Weapon to bear upon the city. We had to let him go. Also, it seems that there's more to this Weapon than we knew before. I've left the information in the report.

[She sighs and looks around. She doesn't want to ruin the party mood any more than she has.]

[Sparks's expression flattens as he snaps the report closed.]

Blockin' Job powers, huh. Just like Kalki could do. 'N Palitutu, huh. No luck with her gettin' eaten alive by her own Weapon or anything yet. Too bad.

So yer sayin' that the Weapon is more that just a living, breathing weapon of mass destruction?

[not_most_days]

[The fact that Palitutu had picked up some of Kalki's tricks had troubled Mary as well.]

I'm saying that it wasn't the only one. We don't know much; just where they think it is and that they haven't found it yet.

[red_planet_blues]

There's... there's more. [He lets that sink in for a moment, rubbing the bridge of his nose.]

But we at least got an idea of where they might be? Then we need to get a move on before someone beats us to the punch.

[not_most_days]

I can't say how many but given there's more than one I doubt it stops at two. All we know is what's here. That it's somewhere in the north of the Lost Continent but they haven't been able to find it.

My worry is that if we go looking for it we'll wind up handing it over to them. It's because of us they were able to get control of the Ultima Weapon rather than merely having it.

[Sparks sighs, knowing she's right about that.] Ugh, right. Don't wanna do that again. But I don't wanna just sit around and not do anything about it, either. Maybe not a huge search party, but a small team. Cover it up with a story about travellin' for... I dunno, somethin' else. Try to throw off the scent.

[not_most_days]

I was thinking the same. It would have to be something plausible. The other problem is who else to tell. I trust all of the people here as allies, but as you said a smaller response is best. But I don't want to simply hide this either.
