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.

Leo! Matsuka's reply was pleased, but quickly shaded into apprehension. Surely Leo had seen the accidental transmission, too - Matsuka could only imagine what he thought about it, but surely there was no way the Mu could trust him after hearing something like that. Ducking his head, he peeked cautiously through the other people around him.

...I'm well, he ventured more hesitantly. But - what about you? Are you all right?

I'm quite well, Leo assured him, and a moment later he gently touched the back of Matsuka's arm to announce his presence.

I wouldn't have expected to see you at an event like this. Did Keith Anyan not come with you?

His tone isn't accusing as it could have been, but rather cautious with a shade of concern underneath. He had garnered quite a bit of information from the network that week, but not enough to accurately determine the state of Matsuka's affairs.

Matsuka didn't quite start at the touch to his arm, but he came close, looking up quickly towards the other Mu. No... With Leo right beside him, there was no real reason for him to answer to telepathically, but some sense of awkwardness made him slow to actually speak aloud.

"He's not interested in something like this," he added after a moment, in further explanation. "I promised I'd come, though, so..."
