Monthly Mingle Log

[thalassino]

Is it that time of the month already?

...No, today is not the start of shark week.

The Station Master's taken precautions to make this month's mingle party nice and laid back, after that rather magnetic week. Today, locals are all over the Plaza starting to put up the decorations for this strange holiday known as "Christmas", and they're more than happy to cheerfully rope any foreigner who doesn't look too busy into helping them.

The food tables are back, albeit with more drink than food. Hot chocolate, gluhwein mulled wine, a huge bowl of fruit punch, you name it, it's there. Foodwise, there's snowflake shaped crackers with cheese and meats, shrimp cocktails, cups filled with green or red jelly, and plenty of cookies to go around.

Near the food tables are the two usual booths, one belonging to the Welcoming Committee, armed with all the information a newbie would want to know, and the other belonging to the Host Club, manned by all the male eyecandy you could ever need. Have they done something special for their booths this festive season? Better sashay their way and find out!

Walking around all the tables and booths is what looks to be a giant lobster(???) in a Santa suit handing out candy to anyone and everyone nearby. It seems the locals don't understand that it's "Santa Claus", not "Sandy Claws."

Finally, it looks like there's been a new addition to the plaza. Was that ice skating rink over there last night?? It certainly fits the theme, and the locals don't seem to be surprised. They'll even help you lace up those skates and take them for a spin. Bundle up and try not to fall too much!

Questions? [It was a rather odd offer, Berserker imagined--even more odd given the situation he was in. He was underwater, presumably at levels that would crush most people with pressure alone. He knew there was an elevator leading to the surface so he wasn't fully enclosed and in constant danger if he didn't want to be, but even then, he didn't feel any concern for his life or for his well-being.

If anything, he was resigned to his new, questionable fate though he wasn't sure what he should have been doing with it.]

I suppose I have many, though I'm certain they will be answered with time. To spend idle conversation discussing the city would lend you a rather boring time, I imagine.

I do not mind.

[Something as simple as listening to the questions people ask when arriving here tells Serph a lot about what peoples' concerns are. Whether they have something important to return to in their own world, or whether they would prefer to stay.]

I enjoy the company of others, regardless of the topic.
