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.

Re: James T. Kirk | OPEN
[Great. NOW she's getting shy. She's not used to this and feels back to her first date with the Doctor at the end of the Earth, overwhelmed by so many alien people and just --]
[He's human! Relax Rose.]
[Even if he is a celebrity and gorgeous to boot, she's got this.] So you're a Captain?
[... She's mentally facepalming. This is worse than when she was first flirting with Jack. At least then he'd rescued her from barrage balloon. WAY less weird.]
no subject
[He turns away from the darts and smiles once he recognizes the lady who bid on him. He can justify taking a brief break. Very brief. He'll probably buy her a few in case she's a better shot than he is.]
That's right. Finest starship and crew in the galaxy.
[He pays for two sets of darts and passes her one of the bundles.]
But rank doesn't hold much weight here, so you can call me Jim. And if you help me win this prize...
[He takes aim...throws... mmmmmmmmmmISS.]
...I'll call you my laser partner.
no subject
[But she grins at the darts and hefts one or two.] Okay I'll try! [A laugh.] But if I hit a person instead I'm pinnin' the blame all you.
[TOSS!!]
no subject
[Just good-natured teasing/flirting, of course. So far, he likes her. She's energetic, perky, and just plain fun. He's going to enjoy getting to know her better. He tosses too, but comes just shy of hitting the little gold balloon. He laughs at her playful threat.]
Only if you're prepared to return the favor should my throw goes horribly wrong. So what's this other ship? What's so great about it?
no subject
Mm... The TARDIS?
[A blink. Even in the fifth dimension it wasn't something she could talk about much, but here... was there any threat to it? Nothing she couldn't defend against, Rose was pretty sure.]
She's infinitely huge! She has an entire room just for waterfalls! And she sings to me when I sleep, and changes rooms around and makes mazes for people she doesn't like -- [Another giggle] Oh right! She's alive, and sentient, [Taps a finger to her temple] psychic, so I'm completely in love with her. She's gorgeous and saved my life more times than I can count, and my sanity way more than that. [CHEEKY GRIN as she throws another dart.] Do you know of any other ship that can do that?
no subject
[And he's out of darts, so he's buying them both another round.]
Second of all? ...Actually that does sound pretty amazing, I can't argue that. So let's say your ship is the best sentient ship, and my ship is the best non-sentient ship. Agreed?
no subject
She's not mine though. I can't even pilot her. Not that I'm entirely sure her pilot does either as much as makes it look good.
But tell me more about yours, yeah?
[Bounces on her heels and toes and toss!]
no subject
[While he knows the more technical specs, he's not sure anyone who isn't from his world would understand the jargon, so he keeps to civilian mode.]
No waterfalls, though. We're on a five-year exploration mission at the moment. You might have seen my first officer Spock, too. Pointy ears, bowl haircut, deadpan love for logic?
no subject
[Nod nod! She knows of Spock. Though she won't say how.] Well that's 3 three things on the TARDIS, no teleportin', she has to land wherever, and since she has no shields either, that's nevar good. No weapons either, because she's more an ambulance, yeah? Ambulance meets science-expedition.
[BOUNCES AND TOSS!]
So you've traveled a lot too then?
no subject
[They're definitely more efficient than the kind with water, but he's starting to get partial to having a hot shower in the morning to start his day.]
Anyway, if you're not expecting to blast asteroids or Klingon war cruisers, then there's probably no reason you'd need a weapons defense system.
[He watches her toss the dart, then throws another himself.]
For the past five years, nothing but. You'd think you'd miss things on Earth, but so far? Nothing else has ever felt more like home.
[They're really not getting anywhere with these darts, are they?]
You want to give up the gold and just check out the VR suite when it opens for our date? Or are you looking for something sooner than that?
no subject
[And nods!] Yeah, we try not to blast anythin'. Just land on asteroids. Never know what life might already be hidin' there, right?
[And she grins, nods, and shrugs.] UM! Either/or! [Another laugh and a headshake.] I hadn't made up my mind beyond arcade and um. Food. Guess now's a good time to ask yer favorite, yeah?
