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

It was a Christmas miracle: an even tackier, way-too-early ugly sweater party.

With way, way too much alcohol, and a kinda ridiculous number of activities.

There were, of course, the ubiquitous plastic snowmen haunting (almost) every corner of the apartment, and one out on each of the Smokers' Balconies for good measure. There were strings of lights lining the ceiling, as well as tracing the edges of each window. There were cookies to decorate (and eat, because you definitely should eat, and there were moddable snacks aplenty as well.) While there was, of course, Christmas music playing, those with keen eyes (or at least, enough wherewithal to look around an apartment before you started potentially drinking heavily in it) might spot a karaoke machine that would come out later. One particularly tinsel-y corner had an abundance of Santa hats and reindeer antlers and wearable strings of lights to wear while taking photos, and in the guest room -- of course -- there was a much-fabled craft table, where you could make an ornament that didn't have to be in an immature shape, but definitely could be.

There was also, hovering slowly through the party, a drone with mistletoe dangling from it. A Mistle Drone, one might call it, even.

And, because this was the Christmas Rager, there was alcohol. There was so, so, so much alcohol. The kegs of Christmas ale had once been reordered, there was a Make Your Own hot chocolate and coffee bar, and while Annie would never argue that Summer's shot table wasn't the star of every party...this year was a little different. Mostly because of how they'd decided to serve Annie's punch: in a freestanding bathtub, just slightly off-center from the room.

Welcome to the third annual Christmas Rager. Hope you wore a sweater, because the hostesses both have glitter cannons in case you didn't show up festive enough!

"Well, he probably shouldn't," Amaya noted with an amused snort, "but that's good to know."

She then nodded her greeting with an, "Annie," and a brief look around. "Looks like another successful rager under your belts so far. And of course," the nod now toward Annie's own sweater, "I've got to appreciate your own punny contributions."

"Easy how?" asked Amaya, after a moment to look thoroughly impressed with the lighting aspects, and not at all pondering how to rig up something like that for her own sweater for next year.

Even without superpowers, it wouldn't even be difficult. She could just use a potato!

(Or, you know, a battery pack,but what fun was that?)

Amaya took a moment to try and picture what Annie was describing, and very quickly regretted it.

"Yeah," she agreed, "I'd definitely take the yeti, too. "
