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.

There was one tiny little flaw in Carrie's so-far genius plan to only ever use the network as Robin. It'd worked so far, sure, worked great (except for the rare occasion that it didn't). But rare occasions aside, it'd worked great -- right up until she'd decided to attend a party.

It wasn't really too strange a look, coming dressed for a party and still wearing her oversized green Robin shades. You could say it was just a unique fashion sense, if you were feeling generous. But it was what it was, and she steadfastly slipped into the place with a few wary glances around, sizing people up and looking for whatever real crazies might've taken up the offer of a holiday party.

'Real crazies' was something of a subjective term.

Consider, for example, the man with the giant screw in his head chatting up various and sundry guests. Including Carrie, in short order.

"Merry Christmas," he said pleasantly.

Well. That was an interesting look, wasn't it? She frowned a little, took a second or two to examine the guy, and offered a little wave.

"Yeah, double it." A pause, and she added, "Didn't know it was a costume party."

'Double it' was a new one on Stein, but the meaning was fairly obvious so he didn't give it much thought.

"Oh. Is it?"

The look on Stein's face said that he didn't know it was one either.
