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.

"Hmm?" Edna looked up at Seras. "Oh thank you dahling. Is there a place they're supposed to go?"
newbvampire: (I guess)

Seras reached out to pick up the bag, lifting it with ease. "Sorry, I don't, but I'll carry it wherever you need me to. It's no trouble at all."

Edna readily let go of the bag. If a Super wanted to carry it, far be it from her to deny them. "Well lets just set them down out of the way. With presents people tend to congregate around them anyway."
newbvampire: (Talking)

"Right!" Seras did as she was instructed, finding a mostly out of the way place for the bag that was still easily seen by everyone. "There you go ma'am. I'm glad I could help."

"Thank you, dahling, thank you," Edna said, brushing past Seras to get to open the bag.

"Now, what do you want? Everyone gets a gift, dahling."
newbvampire: (Oh really?)

[personal profile] newbvampire 2010-12-20 01:55 am (UTC)(link)
"Really?" Seras was more than a little surprised. She wasn't used to strangers just giving her presents like that. Actually, she wasn't used to receiving gifts at all. "Uh well, I don't know really. I hadn't thought about it."

"Of course 'really'," Edna said, pleased by the reaction.

"Well here," Edna rummaged around in the bag, only her feet sticking out for a bit, and then came back out presenting a candy cane. "You think about it more, then decide what you want Mrs. Claus to get you for Christmas."
newbvampire: (Smiling)

Seras took the candy cane and smiled. She couldn't eat it of course, but it was still a nice gesture. Humming to herself she thought for a few minutes before finally deciding on something. "I know this is going to sound a bit lame. I...I was thinking I might like a new coat for Christmas?"

It wasn't as if she'd freeze to death without it, but it was always nice to have something to keep the snow out.

"A new coat?" Edna said. "Oh too easy dahling."

She went back into the bag and started rummaging around. "I only have seasonal things right now, dahling, but you come by later and we can get you a real coat now where is that...is that? no.. there it is!"

Edna emerged with a fuzzy christmas vest complete with reindeer, snowmen and every other cliche imaginable, still someone fashionable.
newbvampire: (Oh really?)

"It's lovely, thank you!" She took it and slipped it on. It fit perfectly, amazing! Sure it had every cliche ever on it, but it was warm, fuzzy, and fashionable. "Um...what do you mean come by later?"
