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.

Stein was actually a surprisingly good example of how to act in such a social situation. He was mingling, at the moment, and soon enough he headed in Terra's direction.

"Hey," he said with an appropriate amount of seasonal cheer.

Oh, that was hallway-chair-and-laundry guy. Had she ever learned his name? Er...

"Hey," she replied, attempting to match cheer.

"I didn't expect to see you here," he continued. "You look--" the same as ever... "--nice."

Hey it's not the exact same dress. Just. Very very similar.

"You too," though she didn't specify which statement she meant. Aaaand that's all she says because wow, socially inept much.
screwmeister: sinspire @ lj (what does awkward mean again)

"Yeah." There was no way that was the appropriate response to that, but. It was Stein, what did anyone expect.

"Sure are a lot of people here."
