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.

Sirius walks up, wearing...this, only with more velvet (he even silvered his hair), and gives Nico an assessing look.

"Hmm. Needs something."

Like a hat (http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h7/tsukechick/RPG/Christmas%202010/punksantahat.jpg). Sirius is going to try to put it on your head, Nico.

"What are you-" Huff. Nico makes a face but lets Sirius get away with it because it's Sirius, and that's What He Does.

He pulls it off right afterward though, examining it. ... The skulls are cool. Sirius gets a pass.... this time. Not that Nico is gonna stick it back on his head.

He does glance back towards Crane over his shoulder, though. "I guess I lied about not bringing Dr. Crane." That's kinda like saying 'sorry,' right?

"Nico, you're failing at hats. How does someone fail at hats? How is that possible? There's only one step in hats: put it on your head."

KIDS THESE DAYS: WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO WITH THEM?

"I suppose you can be excused on account of actually managing to get Doc here, o lord of persuasion!"

Nico just rolls his eyes at that. Sirius, you are ridiculous, sir. Speaking of which: "Why are you dressed like that?"

The better question is probably: did Edgeworth try to strangle you for it yet? But he'll get to that in due time.

Meanwhile, he shrugs sheepishly. "I just asked him."

"Because I promised to be on my best behavior and thus can only prank Bluffles obliquely, from afar. I MEAN, UH, I'm Jack Frost of course! Beloved holiday figure. Obviously."

He grins a grin all wickedness and teeth.

"Good job anyway, we need all the help we can get with this food. Go on in and have a seat. Anywhere you'd like!"
