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, yeah, I'm not wearing anything under this thing and it's cold." Eddie had been smarter than Buck, but they still walked over like this. For reasons.

Adorable reasons?

"That would help with keeping warm," Stark said thoughtfully. "Something to think about when it gets very cold."

He'd just cocoon himself in blankets instead though. That was easier.

"Body heat is the best kind of heat," Buck said. "Peeing on people to keep warm in a survival situation is a myth."

So, you know. Enjoy that fun fact, Stark.

"... do people really think that helps?" Stark asked, looking slightly horrified. "Why?"

"I guess because it's warm if you're, like, in a cold situation?" Buck said. "But staying dry is important, so. Not helpful."

"That's... people are very strange," Stark said, shaking his head. "That doesn't make sense."

And if it was a kink thing he did not want to know about it.

"A sweater is a much, much better idea."
