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

[defenderofdesmoines]

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!

"Making it even more amusing that they're at a campfire, presumably," Lana said. "But I like to think they're having fun. How is Cassie?"

"Threatening to realize that Santa isn't real this year, so I might have to figure out a new good-behavior bribe for December soon," Scott joked. "But otherwise she's great! Fourth grade's a pretty exciting year, apparently."

"What do they learn in that year?" Lana asked, curious. "And aren't gifts enough of a bribe?"

"You know, you'd think," Scott told her, shaking his head. (Though he was mostly joking. Cassie was a good -- if occasionally sort of morbid -- kid by default.) "Right now she's learning about the water cycle, which is great 'cause it rains pretty much every day in San Francisco and now she knows why."

And helpfully kept the adults in her periphery informed about this phenomenon as well!

Lana chuckled. "It rains nearly always on Dromund Kaas, but that's because too many Force users overtaxed the environment and warped it a bit. Something tells me that's not San Francisco's problem."
