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.

"How do you contain a storm?" James asked, and he was about to keep talking when he noticed someone else approaching. He stared for a moment, but after the guy with the screw through his head, not much else was distressing.

"We're trapped," James said.
professorlionface: (I'll explain this slowly.)

[Whoops, missed this one. Sorry!]

Hank nodded to Ysera as she approached, then proceeded to answer James' question while appending his statement to her at the same time. "There is, beyond one of the worst blizzards I've seen, especially in a city like this, some kind of barrier containing the storm, the hotel, and us with it. I have yet to determine its exact nature and properties."

"A storm, so suddenly?" She stepped to the door and laid a hand on it, gazing ahead as if she could see through it. "...I do not believe it is natural either. There is too much magic active tonight, I was coming to investigate." She shook her head. "But it is not taking the shape of a proper spell beyond these walls. I cannot place it yet."
