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.

Ten got dragged with Sarah, as he's styling something rather Christmasy but still with red sandshoes. To be honest he doesn't exactly want this. A bit complicated enough with those from his own universe and does wonder why Sarah thinks that someone needed this.

Still, gives a big smile and a, "Hallo."

Mirajane was one of the hostesses of the event but her and the doctor? Well they always seemed to be at odds with one another given how protective Mirajane felt about Rose. So when he's introduced on stage? She can't quite resist the urge to heckle him.

"I'll tell you what! I'll bid five tickets if you let me throw a custard pie in his face on stage!" He seemed like a custard kind of guy anyways.

Rose giggles in spite of herself, but shakes her head. "What? Come on! How can you be mean to that cute of a puppy face?"

Bad doggy forever.
mira_strauss: (Smile)

"The cuter the individual, the more I want to throw a custard pie in their face. Cute people look absolutely adorable trying to get whipped cream and custard out of their face." There's also the fact that Mirajane's got a bit of a sadistic side to her, but she manages to hide it well... most of the time.

"He'll be fine, Miss Smith bid more than me anyways."
bigbadrose: (wry grin)

[personal profile] bigbadrose 2017-12-18 06:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Rose put in a bid herself and smirked quietly to her friend, "If I win, I might let you custard him all the same."
borntolove: (No way)

Ten watches the exchange between the two - and pretends to be appalled. Even if getting custard pie in his face doesn't sound awful. He could do an awful lot of licking and not get asked why.

And a hello to you too good sir! What a great outfit! I believe in you!

[waves right back!]

[personal profile] borntolove 2017-12-31 07:23 pm (UTC)(link)
[How very, very curious. Oh yes. The Doctor really wonders and wants to know everything about your species and grins, gives a sexy eye wink and waves back]

Thank you.

I don't believe we've met.

We have not! I simply wanted to cheer you on! So good luck with the bids!

Oh this was class. She smiled sweetly up at him and gave a little wave. She knew he was pouting about it but she couldn't help it. This was the sort of silly things they'd do before and she was not about to let him wallow about in his deeep, daaark Timelord existential crisis during Christmas!

"Ten tickets!" She could have said four or three but that felt a bit to raw even for her.

"Twenty," a gentle grin. She's expecting Martha and/or Jack to swoop in and rescue her. Otherwise this is going to get messy fast.
bigbadrose: (whut now?)

[MENTALLY SHE IS FREAKING OUT AND SWEARING UP A STORM.]

[Jack and Martha weren't there to outbid her.]

[If she tries to make the date with either of them he might get upset that it wasn't her, that she was pushing him away again which she'd promised not to do -- not that it had ever stopped him from doing it but --]


[THIS WAS NOT AS PLANNED AND IT'S REALLY OBVIOUS ON HER FACE!!!]

Why are you doing this to him, Sarah? Don't you know that he's going out with Martha, Rose and Jack?

He knows he'll have to turn down anyone that isn't one of those three.

... Or Sarah. Inward sigh.
