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.

"Enchanted... snow?" she repeats, unable to help herself. Such a thing sounded absurd, especially since Haruka was quite the 'Muggle' and didn't believe magic was real. She'd seen it in movies and books, sure, but never in real life.

"Well, yeah," he says matter-of-factly. "Snow that looks like it's falling but doesn't make a mess, you know?" Par for the course, really, if you've ever been to a Hogwarts Christmas feast. He frowned again, then grinned and said the incantation under his breath, waving his wand quickly.

"Like this, here we go." And hey look, snow's falling from the ceiling! It lands on James' hat and disappears after a few moments, but it's just like snow without the wetness and melting.

Haruka gazes in wonder, unsure if she's actually seeing this or just having a delusion. Which she doubts, since she hasn't tried any alcohol for the night. Not unless someone spiked her drink (which, again, she doubts.) She smiles a little, getting wider as Haruka attempts to catch some with her hand. Though the snow disappearing was also pretty amusing. "I like it."

"I do too. Makes things more festive, I think." HE lowers his wand and offers a hand, smiling. "Hallo, I'm James Potter, by the way."

"I'm Haruka," she replies, shaking his hand a bit awkwardly. "So you're a... wizard?" It's hard to imagine for her, still, but the City was a strange place so maybe this was common.

"I am!" He nods and sticks his wand back in his pocket, looking cheerful. "So're Remus and Sirius. Er, that is, one of the hosts of this party -- and a friend of his, they're my best mates."
