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.

"They suit me perfectly," she said, looking up at him with a bright smile. "I really love them."

Her rapid acceptance of James had her reeling as well. Though, now that she thought about it, she'd never properly spoken to him before she arrive, so how could she have possibly known how wonderful he was?

"Well, good," he said to the DVD. He was turning even redder, he knew it, and he hoped Lily didn't notice. Her ignoring him and even yelling at him was all well and good, but it was still hard to get used to the fact that she actually liked him here. He thought he was doing a pretty good job of it so far.

Lily took a brief look around and noticed Severus had just slunk in. She sighed lightly, looking back at James.

"I should probably wish him a happy Christmas," she said, the part of her that missed Severus taking over just a bit.

"Oh, well. Alright." He gave Lily a bit of a sheepish grin. "I s'pose I'll go see what Sirius is up to, then. Good luck and don't get your head bit off," he added, looking a bit amused. He figured even if Snape was there, there were enough people here that he could safely ignore the other man. He and Sirius had come to an agreement about this a few days before the party, just in case.

Lily gave him a smile.

"I'll see you soon," she promised before cutting her way through the crowd over to Severus.
