Christmas Eve Party!

[whiteas]

WHO: Anyone willing to behave themselves for a nice Christmas party!
WHAT: Weiss's Housewarming/Christmas Eve Party
WHEN: Christmas Eve
WHERE: Team RWBY's new house
WARNINGS: Mistletoe is hung in one of the corners! Avoid it if you don't wanna get smooched! (But seriously if anyone has anything here that needs a warning please tell me.)



It's Christmas Eve and it's cold outside! Perhaps you should come in, enjoy some refreshments, chat, sing a song at the karaoke station, or open up your Secret Santa gifts? There's plenty of room to wander around and plenty of fun to be had! While furniture doesn't seem to be overly plentiful, there's a coat closet near the entrance and plenty of room for party guests in the family room, kitchen (where the food is!) and breakfast nook, and the outside deck. There are Christmasy pine garlands with signs that say "Guests are asked to remain in the party area! Thank you!" cutting off rooms beyond those and classy decorations adorning the designated party area (plus doilies at the dining table). At the center of the family room is a well-lit Christmas tree.

Naturally, if you have another location that you would like to direct your thread, you're welcome to make a thread of your own-- but if it's in an area that's off limits, unless your character is accompanied by one of Team RWBY (or are going to the restroom- which hopefully there won't be any threads for that) your character will get told to go back to the party if your character is caught! If they get caught more than once, they may be asked to leave. :( We don't want that!

The party evening will round out with Weiss and Blake singing a duet of "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" for everyone, so please have a Merry Christmas! (And happy all holidays!)

Comments

Secret Santa

[whiteas]

Those who signed up for the Secret Santa will notice a table in the foyer as they enter the house with a sign that says "Secret Santa" gifts. This is set up so that you can either exchange the gifts in person or leave it for your recipient to pick up.

(Reply to this thread with all Secret Santa gifts! You are welcome to thread out the exchange itself, but at least make sure to drop it off here!)

To Zeref

[mintchip]

[ Emerald leaves him a pair of wireless headphones in an oversized gift bag filled almost completely with tissue paper. It's like 90% tissue paper and 10% wireless headphones. It's not a very well thought-out present but at least it's a nice one! As long as he listens to music with a device that has bluetooth capabilities anyway... ]

To Death the Kid

[whiteas]

[ After... a bit of research, Weiss learned two things about Kid: 1. He liked symmetry and 2. he used guns. Which made gift giving not too difficult of a thing for her since she was his Secret Santa for this little thing.

Kid will receive two crystal model guns (similar to this but as close replicas as she could get to his own without actually being able to get close to them). What better way to represent symmetry than with crystal, something symmetrical all the way down to its molecular structure? Weiss thinks she did pretty well and is just hoping that he thinks the same (even if she herself probably drives him nuts with her intentionally placement of her ponytail off to the side). ]

To Ted

[koishi_komeiji]

Koishi really didn't have money to buy a gift, nor skills to make one, so something had to be found. Fortunately Chireiden was full of strange and wonderful artifacts from when it functioned as hell's capital. And, of course, the ancient city could always provide something interesting...

Wrapped in rather plain brown paper was a pair of somewhat drab looking moderately heavy boots edged with some sort of red metal as well as a decently sized bottle. Along with them was a handwritten note reading:

"The boots protect the user from extreme heat and can be used to cross magma and hellfire unscathed. The bottle is a fine mild sake to enjoy with friends. I hope you have a great holiday!"

[youfool]

Ted made this his first stop, with smiling face and eager hands. When he saw that these were his, he tore it off quickly before reading the note. Footwear! Hefty weight, too. In the bag they went. Then he read the note.

"...how thoughtful!" A gift made 6 months in advance; this would certainly help in the summer to come. As for hellfire...God knows when that journey would have to be made; hopefully never. Adding to the list of things the Omnipotence knew was who his secret Santa even was. He felt compelled to share the drink with him, chiefly because rice wine was strange to Ted, and whomever it was would almost certainly appreciate it more. He looked around to the left and to the right, hoping to catch, say, a mischievous or satisfied look. Secrets were all well and fun, but one wanted to know.

To Ty Lee

[broceanking]

[He'll be putting a very carefully wrapped box containing two artisan chocolates as well as a box of bright macarons. Don't mind him spending a minute in front of the table to make sure it's placed in a spot where it's not likely to get crushed by anyone putting something on top of it.]

To Clow

[ifbymyhands]

[Kano had no idea what to get the guy, so she ended up just giving him a stack of textbooks. Hopefully at least some of them are entertaining?]

To Flonne

[soundmind]

[Well, this isn't something she's done before--secret Santa anyway. Nobody has time for that at the Academy.

Naturally when presented with the option to try it, Maka jumps right in.

She doesn't know Flonne that well, but on the advice of a certain demon overlord Maka tracked down a full box set of the cheesiest power-of-love magical girls she could find.

...It's probably something the former Lord Death would have liked too, come to think of it.]

For Weiss

[hemoeroticism]

{ Hagire wasn't sure what to get Weiss, but she looked like Shiro, to him. So... have a Shiro cosplay outfit. }

For Kano

[deathsought]

{ Zeref was bad at this. He had no choice but to ask Suigintou for an idea, and she suggested 'gothic lolita.' He had no idea what that meant, so he had to ask around Genessia City, and was pointed in the direction ofthis dress. Hope it fits, Kano! }

For Wei-- I mean, Zuko

[umadrobin]

{ The tag on this gift has the words "For Weiss Zuko" written rather conspicuously on the wrapping paper. Inside is, indeed, a gift for Weiss more than Zuko. }

To Emerald

[reedfate]

{ Have a fancy book full of haikus wrapped in old-fashioned wrapping paper. }

For Luke

[observingly]

{ Hey Luke! You know what Yukki's favorite game is? Darts! Have your very own darts set. Plastic-tipped, of course, so as not to hurt himself. }

To Mayu

[weavemyownfate]

[Satsuki hasn't seem Mayu much outside of the dojo, but he looks like someone who's focused and trains hard but doesn't have an easy way to relax. The perfect gift, then, would be a neck pillow for those power naps while keeping his neck posture and avoiding pains. It can be also be heated or chilled. Since she's never done this before it's simply wrapped in a box with his name tagged (written by someone else) on it. Secret after all.]

For RWBY

[weavemyownfate]

[Satsuki got a housewarming gift for the girls and since all the gifts were on the table anyway she set theirs on it, tagged with everyone's name. Considering their relationship to Ozpin she can't help but feel a little wary, but she's appreciative enough to Weiss and Yang to attend and gift.

It is a small box wrapped in festive, silver paper that makes a metallic rattling sound if shaken. Inside are several sets of silverware as well as four gift cards for an Ikea-style store in Genessia City worth one hundred red bills each.]

To Rikku

[lookprofessor]

[Luke spent a long time pondering what to get Rikku. He's only seen her in passing, and he's personally more fond of giving gifts with more personal significance.

But since that isn't an option, he's decided to get her something warm, since honestly that outfit she wore most days didn't seem particularly warm and it's getting chilly. Neatly folded in a small box will be a scarf, mittens and hat, all in a shade of orange similar to her outfit. Tucked into the box is also a small tin of tea that's labelled "Dream Spice", with a note that says it is warming and calming and thusly appropriate for the colder weather.

Hope she enjoys!]

For the Household!

[lookprofessor]

[Secret Santa was hard. Housewarming gifts, in Luke's opinion, were far easier. Especially since he's spent ages lately collecting various bits of china for the tea shop. The cups are similar but not exactly matching and are sort of like this, and are in four different colors: red, white, black and yellow. Figure that one out for yourselves, guys. The tea pot is white, and the sugar bowl is blue. It's almost a rainbow. Though the items are from different sets, they look similar enough that they will look nice together on the table.

Inside is a little note: Congratulations on your new home! I hope you enjoy the tea set. They aren't all matching but you all wear the same colors every day and I thought it this would be better than a plain set. -Luke.

Are you supposed to sign housewarming gift cards? He's not sure, but he did anyway. Hm.]

To Satsuki

[youfool]

In rectangular wrapping paper, he left the frownster a copy of The Abolition of Man. He'd heard tell of her plans to head a school, and knew of no other book more germane. There's a note.

"Merry Christmas, and please to enjoy the book. Should you wish to unveil this holiday secret, my radio ID is on the back of this note. Should you wish it to remain, burn it at once."

To Joruk

[sarcaskick]

[ Okay, look, Mercury isn't a gift-giver. That's just not something he excels at. But in the spirit of not blowing his cover the season even he manages to put a modicum of thought into this. He may not know a goddamn thing about the person he's buying for, but hey... everyone likes cake, right? Right! So he got Joruk a cake! How thoughtful! How very

oh god

oh god no ]

To Red X

[nrgsvr]

[If Mayu were more social, it would probably be obvious that this set of shoujo manga volumes ("Let's Love" by Sakiko Yumeno, if he can find it) came from him. He thinks this generic, clichéd highschool romance is interesting and unique. His idea of wrapping is taping over a paper bag. ]

For The Household

[nrgsvr]

[ He figures they could all share the volumes of shoujo manga. "Let's Love" by Sakiko Yumeno is really popular with teenage girls in his world. There is also a fire extinguisher.]

To Ruby

[filchedfruit]

[ Joruk thinks food is the best kind of present. Since he's not sure when she'll open the gift, he's picking something that will last long. Ruby is getting some packages of jerky in a variety of flavors.]

For RWBY

[filchedfruit]

[ They get a rug. Even if they already had some, there can never be too many.]

for neptune

[banishment]

Neptune gets a pair of red-tinted goggles from his Secret Santa. He may have a tough time figuring out the neatly wrapped package is his, since his name is written as "海王星" instead of "Neptune" on the tag tucked into one of the folds of the wrapping. Which probably gives the identity of his gift-giver away...

To Hagire Rinichiro

[monkeystowaway]

[Since Sun doesn't really know the person, he gets them a safe gift of a candy gift basket. Because really, who doesn't like baskets filled with sweets?]
