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.

[it took a lot of thinking (one would think that he did that too much,) but Cloud always was the kind of person to arrive late. late but just in time! he’d only just arrived a few minutes ago when he was called upon stage.]
...
(Guess I have to.)
[Cloud didn’t have anything festive for the holidays to wear, but he could at least dress down a little since he wasn’t here for a fight. which is why Cloud’s left his shoulder armor and any extra layers of clothing at home. yes that also meant less belts- which left Cloud sporting dark pants and a nice navy zip-up vest with a high collar. with a shrug and a resigned tinge of rose in his cheeks, Cloud hits the stage. he looked nervous, but at least he wasn’t frowning.]
... Hey. [he waves] Merry Christmas?
[was he saying it right? ... least he wasn’t part of some play or had to do dancing twirls or something.]
no subject
110 on this guy!
no subject
IF he finds out that Yang did this]Huh?
[everyone got 100 tickets by default when they donated, right? ... she was spending all of hers on him? someone was actually picking him? he blinks, surprised as he spots Gwen. well, guess this was how it was supposed to go. a good cause is a good cause. at least he wasn't getting picked as best girl.]
no subject
She gives Cloud a smile and a thumbs up when he looks her way.]
no subject
part of him is curious if there's anyone else that will throw her for a loop and bid. 110 tickets already was hard to beat, after all, especially when there was limited supply per person who bid and donated. wait a sec... was she the so-called 'secret admirer' that Minako talked about?]
no subject
[At least Cloud doesn't seem too upset about it. She'll just wave with an angelic smile that can't possibly be believed.]
Merry Christmas!
no subject
Christmas... kinda contagious.]
no subject
she isn't sure if gwen will spot her in the crowd but. yup.]
no subject
Okay. Well now that it was obvious she was spending all her tickets on one guy...
um...
Yep.
Have an awkward wave, Robin.]
no subject
Going twice!
SOLD -- to Gwen Stacy!
no subject
[WAVES AT HIM!!]
no subject
this guy was in high spirits. no, high spirits really didn't seem to do him justice. he just stares, a little wide-eyed because he's taken aback by how...positive he is. it wasn't a bad thing? but... Cloud's confused. did he thank him?
...he's waving at him.]
.........
[Cloud waves. ...awkwardly.]
no subject
Do your best out there!
