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.

"Damn right they are." Toph was scowling, but she was intrigued. It was clear that at least a few of the balls had hit, so she knew her aim was right, but based on the sounds, the person was now pretty much right in front of her.

It was hard to resist the temptation to whip off her spacemetal armband and do something about her newest friend. For some definitions of friend.

"You always fly?"

She gave another burst of cackling--lighter, this time around--and shrugged. Toph wouldn't be able to notice the gesture, of course, but she had no way of realizing that.

"Only sometimes," she said, surprisingly amicable for someone who had just totally messed with her hair. "It depends on what I feel like, you know? But flying works out pretty well most of the time."
tinybutdeadly: (Hmph)

No, she certainly couldn't see the gesture, though the cackling made her wrinkle her nose.

"Huh. Well. It's annoying. Can you like, land for a minute?"

One foot (she is wearing boots this detail is totally extraneous) tapped the floor for a second, then immediately withdrew back into the air, as if she'd just touched a hot stove.

"What are you, jealous?" She tipped her head to the side, whipping shifting her hair in that direction. "I can't blame you for that--it is pretty awesome. But it looks like your deal isn't too shabby either, so what's your damage? You know, so I can laugh at it."
tinybutdeadly: (blind 2)

HI LEAH HOW ARE YOU

That second was enough for Toph to get a picture of her new frenemy, at least. She tilted her head and snorted at the questions. Either this chick was going to be awesome or she'd end up on the List. Could've been entertaining either way, right?

"Jealous? Pfff, yeah right. I just wanted to see you."

Now she'd have to see if whoever this was with that sweet hair could figure out what she meant by that. Tilting her head back a little as if looking up at her, Toph let some of her hair fall out of her face.
