Who: Moonybase and YOU
When: 23 December 2009. 8am - 10pm
Where: Moonybase.
Summary: An open invitation to a party never looked so good. Check your weapons and powers at the door.
Warnings: Probably everything. Please see this post for details.
Format: Whatever works. Don't forget to add your tag.

Remus had been to enough Christmas parties in his lifetime to know when one would end disastrously, including those that had been specifically dated to avoided interfering with other Christmas plans that the guests might have. This was one of them. But his tolerance had kept him quiet, the happy act of cleaning and decorating taken to as easily as any other task he did.
The twins had also been enlisted to help, given the important task of stringing a length of bright red ribbon and pine up the staircase to the second floor. The soft white lights that followed were magic. In fact, none of the lights, save for whatever lamps or overhead lights that Miles insisted upon, were run by electricity, and many were candles, kept only from setting anything ablaze by a flame-freezing charm.
By the time the morning of the party rolled around, the house looked as if it had been pulled straight out of a Christmas card, Remus borrowing from what he remembered of Christmases as Hogwarts and the Burrow, including a single bit of mistletoe in the entry. The snow helped, piling nicely (if in an oddly organized fashion) outside thanks to a little help from Miles, adding to the image; if nothing else, Remus was happy with it, the certainty that he would wind up having to transfigure another person into some sort of object nagging at the back of his mind.
Tin whistles, toy rocking horses, and sprigs of mistletoe were likely going to be very common later in the evening, he mused, tapping his wand rhythmically against the palm of his hand in thought as he checked everything over once more, walking through the sitting and dining rooms and out into the backyard where the tree house had been built out of ice and wood into the tree there. The floating green structures that Kyle Rayner had promised to provide were still missing, but they would be there soon enough.
He pocketed his wand and walked back into the house, shaking free the snow from his boots, and glancing at the clock. People who had offered their assistance had been asked to come early, which meant that the kitchen was soon going to turn into a madhouse, the extra stove only offering so much help. It also meant he had best make tea before he was banned from the room.

Cook number 1 reporting for duty!
He wasn't especially dressed up, as he expected to be helping out far more than being social, but his hair was tied back in a green ribbon and the sweater he had on was festive, if cheesy.
He knocked on the door politely, all but bouncing on his toes, pumped up and ready to help!

--and the bitches that live here |D
Early afternoon, though, he reappeared, as the sounds of busy minds was too much to ignore anymore. These sorts of things were quite alien to him on this scale; if he could not be of use, he would observe and learn, so come next time around...
In any case, he had decided it would be appropriate to offer Miles the gift he had found for him early, and that came downstairs with him.

This was a chance to do both. Besides, he'd made a promise.
He rang the doorbell, turning up his collar a little at the chill.

COOK NUMBAH TWO
Clad in a pinstripe shirt and vibrant tie under his wool peacoat, he staggered to the door of the party house under the weight of his parcels. Heaven forbid he should try to carry gifts in addition - the food was more than enough. Without a hand free to knock, he just called out, "Oi! Somebody give me a hand here?"

Cook #3! Cooking assistant might be a more accurate title.
Setting them down - they were heavy, but she didn't mind - Cameron knocked on the door and waited for an answer.

more bitches that live here!
Thus, this was the first time Ruka had ever seen how much work went into just preparing a party, and though she wanted to help, everyone was moving so fast, it seemed like she'd just get in the way.
And so, she lingered around doorways and empty pathways, curiously watching the strangers in her house.
and the parental figures that may or may not publicly admit to adoring them

TIMELY ARRIVALS: CHECK YOUR MOTIVES AT THE DOOR
/runs off to work because I am NOT on time for that
And besides, she remembered that guy as the one who was taking in people when the zombies attacked. She'd dropped off a lot of kids there, as well as all that Halloween candy after the fact. Hopefully the kids got some of it. How bad could it be?
So she showed up at the specified location right on time, seemingly appearing out of nowhere. (Which she hadn't, really, she just had a tendency to do that.) She wasn't wearing anything particularly festive - her usual winter jacket, black knit hat and jeans - except for the red reindeer headband (http://www.amazon.com/Christmas-Holiday-REINDEER-ANTLERS-Headband/dp/B000YDZ8DC) she'd put on top of the knit hat.
So, hi, Phoenix, there's a really nervous, quiet blonde with antlers on her head who just seemed to appear out of nowhere (as usual), clutching a bag of presents and cookies. This interrogation's going to be fun.

In her arms she balanced parcels and packages, all neatly wrapped (see: professionally wrapped ) and each with its own carefully written tags attached by silver ribbon. Just behind her, looking as cheerful as Scrooge himself, stood Koltira in a fine tuxedo.
Offering a pleasant grin to Phoenix, the elf pulled a small box from the pile clutched to her chest and passed it to him. "Good Evening and happy Winter Veil."

But it also meant he would have to pass whoever had been placed at the door. He wasn't worried for himself, but Trowa's inclination to keep his business as private as possible might prove difficult if the person was telepathic or had some other way to judge a person's intentions.
He knocked once on the door and waited.

...Strangely enough, however, nobody got out of it. Nobody walked up to the door, and nobody rang the bell to be interrogated before entry.
Instead, it just sat there like a demented taxicab waiting on some equally mad passenger to come out and jump inside.
Of course, anyone attempting to lay a hand on it would probably find the defense systems rather--well, let's call them 'offputting' and leave them at that.

Her journey over had been surprisingly uneventful. For once the humans didn't approach her.
The femme arrived at the door, knocked, then promptly wrapped her arms around herself. She was wearing the coat she'd been ported in with. A coat that was too thin to keep her warm in this cold weather. Cold weather she loathed. Her outfit beneath the coat was mostly black and purple. She had no intentions of wearing anything to represent this silly holiday.
As she waited she wondered again why she was doing this. Food had been a factor but otherwise she wasn't sure.

She arrived on time, but hung back, watching people enter the huge house for a while, weighing her options in her hands. Well, it wasn't as if she had anything to lose...
So about fifteen minutes after the party starts, there's a tiny slip of a woman at the door, looking vaguely nervous and speaking in carefully enunciated English.
"This is the party?"

His knocking on the door was in superspeed, causing it to vibrate. He realized what he was doing after a moment, and dropped the hand to his side to wait for it to be opened.

He was dressed in clothing he had distressingly had to purchase from a nearby thrift store. imagine that, Artemis Fowl II reduced to buying clothes from thrift stores. Before coming here, he would have found the idea repulsive. Now it was normal, as he only had the one suit that he arrived in. Armani suits, as it were, seemed to be available nowhere for cheap. He didn't look too festive, but Artemis and festive never seemed to belong in the same sentance. he had a long black coat on, some slightly worn black dress pants, and if the coat was open one could see the plain white oxford shirt. Artemis had neglected a tie, as there had been nothing sufficient in the thrift store. At any rate, no tie would certainly be a bonus as far as looking the part of a vaguely normal teenager went.
Artemis knocked on the door, arms firmly at his sides despite the cold.
Because Phoenix can't always be at the door; I am not sorry for this

I'M GOING TO PISTOL-WHIP THE NEXT GUY WHO SAYS 'SHENANIGANS'
Non-violent naughtiness also encouraged! Games of impromptu football, riotous song-singing, displays of power and pie-eating contests--if you can have fun doing it, you damn well better do so!

Trowa frowned a little deeper, for a number of reasons--for one thing, Arsenal was still down for another 14 minutes, and he wasn't sure he had enough shingles to occupy Starscream that long. Besides which, causing a leak in the host's roof would probably be considered bad manners. It annoyed him even more that his shot hadn't connected--how long since THAT had last happened?
Doubly so that his conversation with Quatre--which had turned out to end fairly pleasantly compared to the way it had begun--was thoroughly interrupted by the ex-bot's inability to leave well enough alone for four straight hours. If that was Starscream's idea of revenge, it was pretty successful.
Trowa tugged a second shingle loose, brandishing it, and called out, "You're breaking the rules. The host said to be civil to other guests."
