C&C HOLIDAY JAMJAR ICE HOTEL HELL: PARTY

[bluffing-ruffle.livejournal.com]

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.

"And what did you find out about your 'surroundings'?" While Bella has already dismissed him as a threat. She has a nasty habit of underestimating her opponents.

Well in this situation, that's probably for the best as Sanji would kill Zoro for 1)picking a fight during the party and 2) picking a fight with a woman. Not that Sanji's wishes really matter. But still. It's complicating a night of free booze.

"Some people hold potential." He meets her eyes.

[curses]

Hmm. That gaze is...interesting. Bella likely won't start a fight here, mainly to honor her cousin's wishes. Family is important, after all. "Potential for what?"

[mrbleedsalot.livejournal.com]

He drains the last of his sake, placing the cup back down on the table as he leans back and closes his eyes. "An interesting fight."

[curses]

"A duel with me would certainly be interesting." A pause as she gives him a closer look. He doesn't look like a wizard to her. "Though I don't think you can handle it."

He's not a wizard, but a swordsman. One who's been hit by 30,000 bolts of lightning and still managed to stand, let alone fight. If there was one thing Zoro was proud of, it was his own durability and while he may not live through a mafic attack, he certainly wouldn't die on the ground.

He smirks at Bellatrix's words, once again laughing softly. "I've managed to defeat everyone who's had that thought."

"There's a first time for everything." Bellatrix smirks. She always loves how confident people are before facing her, and how their annoying little smiles fall the moment she casts the Cruciatus Curse on them. Zoro will be writhing on the ground before he even gets a chance to touch her. She's already learned her lesson about letting enemies get too close with Tyler.

you didn't see that

Zoro is blissfully unaware that Cruciatus Curse means instadeath and will therefore continue smirking. "We'll see."

i saw nothing 8D

[curses]

Well, it's definitely not instadeath. Bella likes playing with her food before she eats it, after all. "Oh, you'll definitely see."
