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.

... Okay, that she refused to open her eyes this whole time was starting to get a little unnerving. Yuugi gave her a funny look (which, obviously, he didn't think she would notice with her eyes closed) as he tried to figure out how she was doing... whatever she was doing that made it seem like she could see him.

She was going to open her eyes to read her communicator, wasn't she?

"I'm Yuugi," he greeted in return after checking his comm again. "It's nice to meet you, too," he added, pausing for a second before shrugging to himself and inclining his head in a small bow because it was the polite thing to do.

Actually, no, she's not going to open them to read her communicator. In fact, she turns her gaze down to it for a moment as if to read it, without opening her eyes. Then lifts her head to face Yuugi again and inclines her head graciously in return for his bow.

"Might I ask where you are from, Yuugi? I am unfamiliar with your language..."

She's sorry if she's unnerving you, Yuugi, but she has a feeling opening her eyes would be even more unnerving.

Wait, what.

Yuugi drew back and nearly dropped his communicator in surprise, shooting a few quick glances to his left and right as though someone might appear and tell him what was going on. Which of course did not happen.

Okay then...

Uh.

Giving Ysera a rather wary look now, he checked his comm for the translation again and then swallowed once before answering. "I'm-- from Japan. I speak Japanese." A pause and then he went on, sounding not entirely sure of himself. "Uh... Where are you from?"

Ysera paused at his reaction, and then dipped her head apologetically. "Forgive me. I did not mean to upset you. I am from a world known as Azeroth. My home is the Emerald Dream."
