C&C HOLIDAY JAMJAR ICE HOTEL HELL: PARTY

WHO: AHAHAHAHA. Just... just tag yourselves in.
WHERE: The Gorsewick Hotel
WHEN: December 19th. 5PM-7PM for setup, 7PM onward for dinner.
WARNINGS: Let's just cover for your basics unless something more specific comes up.
SUMMARY: Miles Edgeworth and Remus Lupin are hosting the second comm-wide holiday party and have rented out the dining hall in the Gorsewick for the night. Everyone comes in for food, warmth, and (relatively... hopefully...) civil company. Whether or not they can leave is another story.
FORMAT: IF IT FEELS GOOD, DO IT! Long prose, action brackets, rapidfire dialogue, present tense, past tense--whatever floats your narrative boat!



The Gorsewick is not all that large a hotel, although it would very much like to grow up to be one someday, a mere five stories tall and having only a small parking garage to its name. The owner is clearly an optimistic sort of fellow, building a place like this in the City despite the risk the existence of imPorts poses to it and the hits the tourism industry has taken from their antics; bigger places than this have been smashed to pieces by enormous grey lizards with bad cases of heartburn.

Sadly, it just isn't paying off. At a time when people should be on vacation, packing his rooms to the max, the Gorsewick is... really, really empty. The groups renting out the dining hall are pretty much the only things keeping it afloat this month.

Still, appearances must be upheld, and although it is mildly understaffed, it is currently no less well-cared for. The handful of people on duty that night are friendly and the place is clean as a whistle--no bugs, no rats, no dust, nothing like that. He may be running a sinking ship, but the owner is damned determined to keep it a tidy one on the way down.

Come on in.

If there's one thing that someone who tries not to stand out too much in a crowd can do, it's recognize someone else trying not to stand out too much in a crowd.

Trowa waited until her gaze passed over in his general direction before raising a hand up and giving a wordless nod.

He'd smelled someone new on the floor when he'd woken up earlier that day, and remembered her face from when she'd arrived (again). Good to see her out and about, at least, whoever she was.

Himuro had just been adjusting her tie when she realized that someone was looking right at her. Someone she didn't recognize right away. She hesitated, but it was a party, after all. She should probably be a little social.

"Do I know you?" She asked as she approached. Probably she should have phrased that better, but her curiosity was getting the better of her.

It surprised him to see her coming up to talk, considering the mutual avoidance of attention-gathering, but over the space of two years he'd become used to people he'd never really met before coming up out of the blue to speak with him. As such, she gets a mildly warmer reception than she might have if they'd met back in his own world instead.

"Probably not," Trowa replies, favoring the blunt truth. "I live there too, though. The tenth floor."
