Who: Cypress, Tequila Sunrise, and you!!
Where: hotel lobby
When: forward dated 313 night


[ when the live goes off this time, it's...! A local flower and a shady guy in a suit, perhaps.

One or two of the lobby tables has been commandeered for the live and totally covered in all sorts of crafty bits and bobs: coils strings, wires, and rope in one corner, craft paper, glitter, and glue in another; markers, paints, brushes, and pens in neat piles; festive stationary, ribbons, and clear plastic ornaments carefully piled in boxes... just about anything you can us to make something special is here. Even elbow macaronis.

At the other table is Sunny of Baritones, setting up a variety of glasses for seasonal drinks-- he looks slightly groggy, but mostly just long-suffering as usual. Cypress stands near him, waving a disposable camera. ]

Good evening! I know some people here aren't very familiar with Christmas or the other holidays from our earth, though I've heard some people talk about the gift-giving portions of it...

But I thought maybe it would be nice to decorate some trees for our dorms-- that's another tradition, where I'm from. I can grow a small tree for you, if you bring me a pot, and then you can join us to make some decorations. Or grab a few drinks, if you'd rather-- Tequila Sunrise is kindly supplying. Crafts aren't exactly a Lilis live, so... I'll be taking pictures of the finished work for whoever wants it.

Aw, cute. Really getting into the spirit of the thing!

[ helping himself to a glass of whatever-that-is ]

[mourningson]

[holiday drinks galore]

She certainly has energy for something that occurs once a year.

[vitainmorte]

Mm. I think I like this holiday a lot.

[mourningson]

[very long-suffering, finishing up with the drinks—things like eggnog, hot cider, hot buttered rum— spiked (and some not spiked)]

At least my Live is simple. I'm practically done already.

[tradesecret]

[ taking photos of him ]

Look at you, doing a live with a cute girl~ I'm so proud!!

[vitainmorte]

So you can make things with me in between serving.

[failedsafe]

Oooooh lookit you!

[liarliarliar]

[SMOL POT]

Tree tree tree!

[vitainmorte]

Just a tiny one?

[mourningson]

I take it you either likes trees or celebrate this holiday?

[adorabilities]

Oh, you know what Kriss-mass is?

[she's curious and, well, time to look at all the crafty bits with wide eyes]

[vitainmorte]

Mhm, it's a major holiday where I'm from.

[mourningson]

Did you miss the times Lucifel and the others went over it in that phone game?

[crossmyheartandhope]

Sure. It's a holiday. People do presents, and you eat a bunch of food with your friends and family and have a good time.

[He holds up a spring of mistletoe]

And there's a kissing tradition thing. You playing?

[nohalation]

[She's gonna grab some random crafty stuff and sit. far. away. from whatever table Sunny is sitting at.

She's just gonna do these crafts very serious BY HERSELF!! THANKS!!]

[vitainmorte]

[ frowns...

But goes over to her with a drink. ]

Is something wrong?

[mourningson]

[okay plan e (a, b, c, d failed): try to be nice to angel

again





but after he's given himself some time to reorganize the glasses again]

COUNTERLIVE: Self Care

[bondsofsuffering]

Nice, a relaxing Live. Got any hard cider?

[He's poking at some of the craft supplies, too, seeing what all he has to work with.]

Re: COUNTERLIVE: Self Care

[mourningson]

[slides it towards him]

This is cider with alcohol in it. Is that what you were looking for?

[runawayprince]

I don't really get what Christmas actually is... we don't celebrate anything called that where I'm from.

[mourningson]

Neither do I. That is why I'm learning.

[mind_blown]

Y'ever think about how this is a power move for Hell to push the whole Christmas angle.

[vitainmorte]

I'm going to enjoy my favorite holiday regardless.

[dumbjockenergy]

I'm starting to get really confused about what this holiday is about.

[ presents, ugly clothes, kissing, and now alcohol and plastic balls? ]

[mind_blown]

And they haven't even gotten to the flying fat man in a red suit who climbs down the chimney.

Or that it's s'posed to be because a baby was born.

[crossmyheartandhope]

[Showing up, a little sheepish, with a bucket in his hands]

You guys really mean it, like... about the tree?

[vitainmorte]

Yes, of course. It's one of our powers, after all.

[beautifulend]

Are you two friends now?!

[vitainmorte]

Oh...

[ glances at Sunny, but. back to silfda, ]

I'm his friend, yes. But perhaps not the other way around.

[worldlyafflictions]

[Ah, that cagey guy... got tamed, huh.]

I guess most people probably have some place ta plant a tree after they're done with it these days...

[vitainmorte]

[ you're next kid ]

Well, nothing's stopping anyone from just planting it in the park, or a bigger pot outside in the spring. I'm sure some dorms have gardens like ours too...

[nihilmancy]

Oh, what unusual customs. I think I would like to try, as well.

[ Sipping mulled wine as she peers at all the different decorations. ]

[vitainmorte]

Of course, anything you want to try.
