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.

[Calvin looks with distaste at all the green stuff on the vegetarian table, then back to him] Nah, it's all gross stuff. I guess you'd have to be an alien or a grown-up to like it. Hey, can I ask you a question? What are your mouth things for? Do they help you with eating?
crabulous: (hello!)

[personal profile] crabulous 2010-12-23 08:01 am (UTC)(link)
You mean my mouth frills? [They wriggle, on cue.] My species has them instead of... [He scratches his head with a claw.] What do they call them? Ah yes! Lips! [They wriggle again, this time, picking up a loose piece of lettuce from Zoidberg's shirt.] They're good for lots of things, you see.
magicalworld: (yay)

[personal profile] magicalworld 2010-12-23 04:24 pm (UTC)(link)
So they're sort of like hands for your mouth? [Calvin doesn't know why that sounds so great he just knows that it does]
crabulous: (Default)

[personal profile] crabulous 2010-12-25 11:36 am (UTC)(link)
[He pauses, considering this.] Why yes, I suppose they are! [Zoidberg looks very excited at this realization.] I never thought of them that way before. What a clever way of thinking, my friend!
magicalworld: (cerebral)

[personal profile] magicalworld 2010-12-25 04:50 pm (UTC)(link)
[Beaming because YAY THE ALIEN APPROVES] What can I say, I'm a really clever guy. It makes sense that you'd have extra appendages, since you don't have opposable thumbs. [Looks at those claws]
crabulous: (good listening)

[personal profile] crabulous 2010-12-26 07:17 am (UTC)(link)
[He snaps his claws, to show them off.]

They're quite strong! They can cut through metal, they can!
magicalworld: (destroy)

[personal profile] magicalworld 2010-12-26 05:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Really?!

[And in an instant he's snatched up a fork from the table and is holding it out for cutting]

Show me, show me!
crabulous: (so buff)

[personal profile] crabulous 2010-12-27 11:01 am (UTC)(link)
[With a bold snap of the claw, the fork is now in two pieces! Zoidberg bows.]
magicalworld: (stupendous2)

[personal profile] magicalworld 2010-12-28 02:41 am (UTC)(link)
Wow! What else can you cut? Can you cut anything?

crabulous: (innocent little zoidberg)

[personal profile] crabulous 2010-12-28 05:40 am (UTC)(link)
I cut through a fossilized taco once. What a day that was!
magicalworld: (spiff)

[personal profile] magicalworld 2010-12-29 01:01 am (UTC)(link)
I'll bet! I wish I'd been there.

Hey, I didn't know tacos could be fossilized. I thought that was just bones and stuff.
crabulous: (Default)

[personal profile] crabulous 2011-01-01 03:36 am (UTC)(link)
Oh no, friend. Lots of things can become fossilized. Like leafs and tacos and tree saps.

[Oh wow how is he saying anything even remotely intelligent. Something must be wrong...]
magicalworld: (yay)

[personal profile] magicalworld 2011-01-02 02:10 am (UTC)(link)
Or bugs in amber!

[He saw that movie!]
crabulous: (hello!)

[personal profile] crabulous 2011-01-02 05:26 am (UTC)(link)
That's right! [Zoidberg nods, jowls flopping about.] You're very clever for such a little human.
magicalworld: (Default)

[personal profile] magicalworld 2011-01-04 02:05 am (UTC)(link)
Well of course. [Calvin puts his hand on his chest and closes his eyes smugly] I'm a super-genius. Most people aren't as smart as me, let alone kids my age!
crabulous: (nude)

[personal profile] crabulous 2011-01-04 10:26 am (UTC)(link)
A genius, you say? What other knowledge do you possess?
magicalworld: (cerebral)

[personal profile] magicalworld 2011-01-04 03:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, I wouldn't know where to start. It would take an encyclopedia to record and organize it all.

But I can build a time machine, for one thing!
crabulous: (hello!)

[personal profile] crabulous 2011-01-05 12:47 pm (UTC)(link)
A time machine?! [MAGIC WORDS! Zoidberg stares at him, soooo excited looking.] Have you ever been to the future?
magicalworld: (tweaked)

[personal profile] magicalworld 2011-01-06 12:18 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I have! [Frowns] My future selves were both lazy jerks, though.
crabulous: (good listening)

[personal profile] crabulous 2011-01-06 01:02 am (UTC)(link)
Perhaps you would be willing to try again? I have many friends in the future. We could bring them back here!
magicalworld: (cerebral)

[personal profile] magicalworld 2011-01-06 03:00 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe... but aren't they in the future and in another dimension now? I don't know how to do interdimensional time displacement!

...yet.
crabulous: (Default)

[personal profile] crabulous 2011-01-06 11:46 am (UTC)(link)
I believe in you, friend! If there's a way, you will be the one to find it!
magicalworld: (yay)

[personal profile] magicalworld 2011-01-06 10:11 pm (UTC)(link)
[Eeee the space alien is praising him this means so much to him]

Thanks Zoidberg!
