2017 Winter Holiday Party!

WHO: OPEN TO ALL!
WHAT: Holiday party! Date auction! Shenanigans.
WHEN: December 15th, 2017 - Evening
WHERE: Fairy Tale HQ - Fayren
NOTES: The auction and the kissing contest are time sensitive! Bids close and the last kiss will be accepted on Friday, December 22nd, at midnight PST!

Fayren didn't have electricity, but it had something even better.

MAGIC!


There were twinkling colored lights that burned, flickered, and floated in an ethereal way, enchanting the building in a way that fluorescent lights never could. Branches of evergreen were hung here and there to give the air a fresh pine scent. There were also pinecones doused with cinnamon and nutmeg near the doorways.

Except near the kitchens, because the food smells were more than enough to entice the senses. There were mini-sausages swimming in a thick and spicy sauce, sweet and tangy meatballs on toothpicks, vegetables and dip, bite-sized cream puffs, iced sugar cookies, cheese and crackers, mulled cider, and eggnog in alcoholic and non-alcoholic varieties.

The main room, expansive as it was, had plenty of room for music, dancing, and mingling. There were some tables and several chairs set up, and a small stage where musicians were welcome to perform to their heart's content. To the side was an even smaller stage where a sprig of mistletoe was suspended on a loop of scarlet ribbon, with a sign that reads: "Test Your Passion! Win This Arcade Game!" And next to that was a full-sized arcade game version of Alley Brawlers. Might be worth checking out!

But there were more games than that, and more than a few maps set up on easels of the headquarters and where to go to play certain games. A single lane bowling alley (with manual set-up of the pins), a "fishing" booth where people toss a clothespin on a fishing line over a curtain to have a little prize attached by someone hidden on the other side, a ring toss for cans of soda, a cake walk (with full-sized cakes for the winners and cupcakes for the losers), ornament decorating, pin-the-tail-on-the-unicorn, face painting, a pool of rubber ducks with numbers corresponding to prizes on the bottom, goldfish scooping... Almost anything one would find at a carnival was sure to be found here.

As for the auction? Step right up, right past the gauzy white curtains into a big room lit with twinkling golden lights. Anyone was welcome to come in, but if someone wanted to participate as a bidder, they'd have to make a donation at the door. In return, each donor would receive a packet of 100 red tickets with the same number assigned to the bidder name: one roll of tickets with 101 for the first donor, a roll of tickets with 102 for the second donor, and so on.

Cookies and punch were available in this room, with several tables and chairs set up before a large stage with a microphone. Along the wall was a line of clear plastic boxes, with slots on top, set in front of each auction date's face. A card that indicated the name of each person, their age, and a brief description of what they were all about was pasted onto the front of the boxes. People were welcome to look at the line-up if they wanted, or even use some of their tickets prematurely if they wanted, as they were clearly for a drawing. Until the auction starts, soft piano music plays from a stereo running on batteries.

[Mobius had only shown up to this place at all just in case someone decided to be cheeky and throw Sonico's name into the hat. If that happened, he would gallantly bail her out (and potentially try to find who did it so he could maim them and get thrown back in jail for it), because that sure wasn't anything he was going to stand for.

Then, much to his horror, he heard his name called. And as far as he knew, he was the only guy in this world who went by the Mobius name.

Speaking of not standing for it, Mobius hurries to the stage with a burning determination in his eyes. He doesn't know who did this, but he was going to set one thing straight right now.]


Okay, I don't have any idea who put me up for this, but I'm making one thing clear:

I am in a very loving relationship to the most gorgeous and perfect woman in this place, and I am very much staying devoted to her.

So assuming any of you bother with me, let it be known that it will be nothing more than a platonic hangout and there's no "date" about it. The only woman who has dating privileges with me is the lovely Sonico, and nothing is changing that.

Thank you.

[He pauses.]

And no, I am not interested in men in that way.

[That was one time in Flight Academy. ONE TIME.]

Do not fret! This is also a place to make more friends! A friend-date, if you will! I admire your loyalty! It is an amazing trait! I believe in you!!

*She's just happening by when she hears that Mobius is up for auction. Standing nearby, she watches with utter terror, suddenly feeling quite sick. But after that speech? She's all butterflies and flushed with pride - he wants to keep her, and only her! All Sonico can do is applaud loudly!*
