MHA #2 | Friday Evening and probably onwards - the SECOND ANNUAL Christmas Rager!!

[defenderofdesmoines]

You know, they'd really outdone themselves. It had hardly seemed possible, and yet, here it was: an even tackier Christmas party, somehow.

There were plastic, glowing snowmen in every corner of the apartment, along with small Christmas trees pre-strung with lights and tinsel but accompanied by little boxes of ornaments so guests could decorate themselves, should they so choose. There was an arts and crafts corner set up in the guest room, just below a yarn wall of time-travel craziness. There was music playing for the moment, but a karaoke machine set up for later, after drinking. There was a table of presents, with little, 'FOR ANYONE, LOVE SANTA' tags attached. There was a small platter of cookies in the kitchen with nearby icing and sprinkles for guests to decorate as they choose, because let's just mash all the Christmas party themes into one, okay? Let's just do it.

And there was alcohol. There was so, so much alcohol. There were several kegs (filled, of course, with Christmas ale), Annie's extremely alcoholic wassail, and every extremely moddable mixer and liquor under the sun. And, most importantly -- like, so important that they literally had a spotlight -- there was a table of Summer's jello shots.

As if that were not enough, there was snow falling indoors, thanks to a certain neighbor with an affinity for red, and a drone circling the party with a big, unmistakable sprig of mistletoe suspended from it. The Drone Mistle. Because Christmas puns.

[it's all up! open to ALL adults, and students are welcome to try to crash if they'd like!]

"I have some lovely floral ties," Hannibal said, nodding. "I've yet to find the floral print I would enjoy on an entire suit, though. You enjoy contrasting waistcoats, don't you? A good brocade works well, and there are some good florals there."

Hannibal wasn't exactly wanting wooing, either, but he would absolutely discuss fashion until the end of time.

"You should see some of my royal suits back in Fillory," Eliot said, shaking his head. "But yes. In modern dress, I stick with playing with contrasts in my shift, vest, and tie."

"I'm guessing you don't have pictures of those suits. Unless you were able to bring your phone with you?" Hannibal asked hopefully.

"I generally wear a three-piece, and leave the contrast to my accessories and shirt." He thought about it, humming. "Admittedly, that is somewhat of a holdover from Baltimore society and teaching. I could probably get somewhat more creative here."

"No bars in Fillory," Eliot said, shaking his head. "I was wearing one when I got here, but then I kept wearing it for so long it might as well be burned."

Hannibal grimaced in sympathy. "A shame. You should get a phone here," he suggested. "They apparently work in any world without regard to such things as actual cellular coverage."

“I already have a —“ Eliot started, then blinked. “Wait, what? We’ve been trying to call our friends back home for ages!”

Hannibal nodded. "Phones in this place seem to work in other galaxies and in worlds with no technology at all. It's one of those things I enjoy and have given up entirely on understanding. Often devices acquired in other worlds will do it simply from having been here long enough."
