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.

"I admit I have a habit of saying things for the sake of politeness, but despite what you may think, it's good to see you too. Any familiar face in such an unfamiliar place is a welcome sight." And she truly meant it. With the exception of certain dark wizards, she'd be glad to see anyone she knew from home.

"A philosophy I wish I could share, but I confess I find myself mostly unable to." It didn't help that most of the familiar faces he had encountered in this place were from a past full of little more than regrets, even the few that were welcomed.

"Yes, well seeing as most of the people you've no doubt run into are people you've never taken a fancy to, I can't say I blame you." She knew he was most likely thinking of James, Sirius, and Remus, and she'd known from the beginning that things between them would never change no matter what the setting.

"Indeed," he mused. "There are some things time does not change, I suppose." And enough that it did, but his reactions to the Marauders were definitely not in that category.

Lily nodded her agreement, idly thinking of the things that time could change. After all, before she'd been brought here, she'd almost hated James, and now he was a relatively close friend, with perhaps more on the horizon.

"I take it you're enjoying yourself at this little gathering thus far?" He'd seen her with James and he knew the eventual implications that that would hold. After all, he'd seem it happen once already.

"Very much so," she said, unconsciously reaching up to lightly touch her earrings. They were a beautiful gift from James, and would go with nearly everything she wore, as green was more than half her wardrobe. "I'd ask the same of you, but you've only just gotten here."

"I could think of worse ways to spend my evening," he mused. He looked at the earrings as she touched them. He was fairly certain of their source, but he commented anyway. "The earrings suit you." He even mostly succeeded in not making it sound grudging.
