Winter Wonderland Holiday Party
The weather outside is frightful, but the fire is so delightful.
And since we've no place to go, let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.
The song is playing in the elevator on the way up to what is normally the meeting hall floor, which has been cleared out so that they could "deck the hall" for the party. It's a Winter Wonderland theme, with white, blue, and silver being the main colors. Which, granted, tends to be a Schnee theme- but it's at least in season this time around. Crystal chandeliers and lights hang from the ceiling, looking like icicles, and there's a frosted tree in the center of the room. Upon closer inspection, it's a croquembouche that's been coated with white chocolate and sprayed with edible glitter, pulled sugar ribbons streaming down the sides of the edible 'tree.'
At each of the tables, there are small gift bags for each of the guests- nothing big, just little samplings of sweets from Cat's Meow Cafes. These are in addition, of course, to the family-style servings at each table of meals. Both chestnut waffles with blackberry-orange syrup and crown roasts were available as main dishes at each of the tables, along with a colorful medley of roasted vegetables and an assortment of different types of freshly baked breads in a basket at each dinner table. Every table also seems to have carefully poached and sliced apples and pears with vanilla or caramel sauce as a dessert. The center of the hall is, of course, cleared out for dancing surrounding a round stage where a live performance from Sonico Super is being performed. Individual orders for drinks (coffee, tea, egg nog for those over 18 only, water, or cider available).
Along the edge of the hall are many gifts lined up with bid tickets and boxes for a silent auction. All proceeds from the auction and ticket sales will, of course, go toward the Genessia Scientific Research Foundation's budget for the next year. Almost strategically, there seems to be a bar located toward the start of the auction traffic manned by After Life staff.
At 9:30pm as the evening winds down, guests will be asked to gather near the windows of the hall to watch the Nova City tree lighting. The view from up above in the tower is amazing, the gigantic tree wholly visible as it lights up on the ground below. The only obstruction of view is the lightly falling snow. If at any point it looked like it would stop snowing, you can bet that Weiss's Castform was up on the roof making sure that didn't happen.
Just as 10pm hits and the party is meant to end, all sides of the hall's glass walls light up with fireworks at once. A beautiful fireworks show finishes off the night.

You'd go out to eat with friends and watch movies, but would you do it with just one friend, spending time with just them and yearning to get closer?
no subject
[She figured she should really ask him later to spend time.]
no subject
Huh. Well how about a kiss?
no subject
No. I don't think I'd go that far.
no subject
And that right there is the difference between friendship and love!
...At least in the romantic sense. I confess it's kinda complicated.
[ Way to possibly sink her own point. ]
no subject
[Nor was she exactly the best at them either.]
no subject
Love can form the same way friendships do. You can make friends playing games, right?
no subject
[Way before shit really went downhill.]
no subject
Good to know! I hope you're a little closer to understanding love.
[ The path was never easy, but she could at least try? ]
no subject
[At least in her mind she had other things she wanted to do first really.]
But what about you? I assume it's something you want for yourself?
no subject
I do. It's a bit ways off for me, though.
[ Konoka looked just a bit wistful and sad, despite her smile remaining. Her personal life was a bit complicated on Genessia. ]
I need more time to find the right person.
no subject
[She seems pretty determined about that one at least for others, not necessarily for herself.]
no subject
[ Konoka looked like she wanted to believe it. Not cynically so much as believing it would happen if she could put in the effort. ]
no subject
Even if it takes a while because people here seem to be more focused on getting home.
no subject
[ She'd like to get home too. Maybe she was a little comfy here, but getting home should have been a little more important, and she wished she had put more time in getting leads. ]
no subject
[She knew full well that she couldn't now, so this place was the only place she had left.]
no subject
I know people like that too.
[ Konoka remembered Pidonus. It was likely there were more like her. ]
Well, it'll be complicated, but we'll find a way. Maybe the way home can help everyone, including making it possible for others to stay.
no subject
[But she knew that with friends she made, some of those would choose to go home and it deep down inside made her a little sad. But yet at the same time she understood.]
I should go look around some more, but it was nice talking to you.
no subject
You too!
[ They had their own things to do. But it was nice meeting someone new! ]
