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.

"Right, right! Catching this ends the game, right?" Sirius had explained this once before. He caught most of it, but these balls all had strange names. Hiruma swats at the snitch, missing once, then manages to snatch it on the second go. "Hah!"

Sirius scoops food into a napkin and starts trying to make his way over to Hiruma, yelling all the while.

"Right! And fifty points, but you still have to be careful! Don't want to catch it unless you'll be ahead, don't want to let the other bloke catch it if he's ahead! Meantime the Chasers- 'scuse me, sorry - the Chasers are scoring ten points at a time with the Quaffle, putting it through the goal hoops while the Keepers try to stop 'em. Then there's the Beaters who hit a third ball, the - hey, are you going to eat that piece of pie? Can I have it? Oh, you're brilliant, bless you! ...where was I? oh, right the Beaters hit Bludgers at absolutely everyone, and if the game ends without at least two people getting knocked out of the sky, the stands start calling for their money back."

He arrives at last, mussed and having lost a hat, but smiling.

"Hullo Coach! Look, someone gave me pie!"

Hiruma snickers as Sirius yells the instructions of the game over to him, rolling his eyes and throwing the snitch up and down.

... Then being fairly surprised when it opens its wings and decides not to come down on one of his throws. Silly thing.

"Nice! What kind is it? And yeah, that sounds like my kind of game! So instead of tackling, like in football, the Beaters hit balls at the opponents. I get it."

"No idea. Involves pecans. Probably pecan pie, but extensive testing will need to be done. I wouldn't want to lie to you about something as important as pie. Not at Christmas!"

Here, Hiruma, have a hug now that he's here.

"There's a fair bit of slamming around into one another, yeah, but no hands. NOT LIKE THIS!"

...At least it isn't the hand with the pie in it, Hiruma. Small blessings.

"Well then, you better fucking get on it, then."

Hiruma quirks a brow, a little... weirded out? Disturbed? ... Personal space invaded? ALL OF THESE THINGS?

"Well, uh, there's not much in the way of hugging in football either."

Are you drunk Sirius.

Or are you always like this.
