[GV] - 6 - Festive

[relinquishing]

Golden Victory isn't about to go two months without a proper change in decor! Their fearless leader hasn't seemed to be in the best of spirits (falling into a coma can do that to a guy), so things aren't quite as extravagant as normal. Instead of playful, things seem a bit more ambient - warm golden lights, rich red tablecloths, holly, garland, maybe even a sprig of mistletoe here and there for the mischievous heart that may wander. And... well, it's a bit of a mystery how they managed to get it through the front door, but there's a well-lit tree taking up one corner of the main floor.

Per usual the rules and employee roster are posted near the door. It seems a bit quieter around here than usual.

Hosts:
Angelo
Asbel Lhant
Duke Pantarei
Fai D. Flourite (assistant chef and appointments)
Guy Cecil (bartender)
Ioder
Jade Curtiss (bartender)
Malik Caesar (bartender)
Peony Malkuth IX
Rin Okumura (chef)
Serph
Sora and Roxas
Zelos Wilder (Only takes appointments with women.)
Please note that some hosts may be unavailable due to coma.


The staff are free to their normal wardrobes this month... well, for the most part. Red, white, green and gold seem to be all over the place, encouraging to fit in with the Christmas spirit. There may even be some fur or a little more ~*sparkle*~ than the hosts might be used to. A certain emperor may have taken the liberty of making sure there's at least one spectacular outfit front and center for them to wear.

Comments

[mysterious_groper]

*The door to the Golden Victory opens... And a girl leans in, as if just kind of looking around. She's being kinda quiet, but is totally curious as to the nature of this place.*

[malik_caesar]

[Malik eyes her from the bar and walks over. He's dressed for the occasion with some seasonal head accessories and a stylish red shirt and black vest. Certainly a change from his normal outfits.]

Welcome to the Golden Victory Pascal.

[mysterious_groper]

Oh, so this is where you work!

Fai D. Flourite - Appointments only

[behind_my_smile]

[Fai looks to be in a pretty festive mood and has decked himself out in a cute little outfit that probably attracts a little attention. He has decided to leave the halo off for now but he couldn't resist the cute little wings when he saw them.

He's doing his usually fluttering around the club, passing out cute Christmas cookies and warm festive drinks.]

[thelastgallifreyan]

[He didn't exactly have an appointment, but Fai had told him to stop by the Golden Victory to see him a week or two ago.

The Doctor smiles when he sees him.]

You're looking very festive.

[behind_my_smile]

[Fai smiles brightly when he sees the other man.]

Hello Doctor~ Do you like it? Dressing in fun stuff is part of being in the host club.

GENERAL BAR THREAD

[malik_caesar]

{All bartenders available}

Santa Malik

[malik_caesar]

[Malik is getting into the festive mood with his Santa hat and fake moustache. He's also sporting a velvet red dress shirt with a black vest. He waits, polishing some glasses with his bar towel.]

[relinquishing]

Hahah, what's with the crazy facial hair?

[It's hit a bit of a lull when Guy finally bothers to pipe up in the other man's direction. The previous month had been a whirlwind and Guy hadn't been incredibly talkative. But it's calmed down enough now, at least. Might as well make some proper introductions.

Well, after he's figured out a reason for that moustache.]

Guy - Open!

[relinquishing]

[It's basic black for Guy this time around, sticking with a satin button-up framed by an emerald green vest for that little pop of color. He keeps his conversations from a polite distance as per his usual. Don't mind him if he's slightly jumpy during conversations. For the most part he's keeping himself busy, stocking when he can and keeping things clean otherwise. Looking a little lonely? Hey, cheer up, come here he'll make you something special.

It also seems that someone (aka: Peony) was... kind enough to put small, golden jingle bells along both the cuffs of his shirt and certain elements of his vest. So even if one can't particularly see the blonde at any given moment, the quiet ring of bells will probably give his location away soon enough.

He doesn't seem too thrilled about it.]

Duke - OPEN

[radiantwingedone]

[ Duke has carefully cleared his corner of anything resembling mistletoe, and for dressing up? It looks a little like he threw a blanket over his head and called it done. Although that un-named emperor may have added some bells here and there.

He'll just be sitting over here, possibly playing with small flames of magic, and seeing if he can change their colors.. ]

[malik_caesar]

[Departing his position from the bar, Malik walks over and offers Duke a drink. There are no words, only silence - the truest form of manly discussion.]

[radiantwingedone]

..... ? [ Malik..

What did you just give him?

How high does curiosity rank today, oh, rather high-

Duke sniffs it, then takes a sip. ]

[livingvessel]

[Ilya peeks her head into the strange building. The Host Club table at the Plaza got her curious, and it sounded like a place to meet people. At least, Serph said people socialize and have fun here.

That's good! She likes fun.

Looking around, she spots a person with long white hair sitting in a corner, with something like a Christmas blanket over their head. She can't see too closely who it is right now, though, so she decides to walk up.]

Are you practising?

[She gestures at the little flames. It looks like something a magus could do.]

[radiantwingedone]

... [ ... This is the first time someone he doesn't know has actually come up to talk to him while he's been here.

But he nods. ]

New at this sort of... more decorative magic. [ If she was confused, that voice is definitely a mans. ]

Angelo | open

[beauchevalier]

[Arriving in style, Angelo is sporting a white mink coat which he strips off as he enters the club at the door. Removing the coat reveals a red suit he was wearing underneath with his usual gold hop earrings and a pair of sleek black dress shoes on top of it. He then sits in his usual spot, waiting for some customers as he skipped out work last time to go ice skating.]

Sora and Roxas - open!

[coolerthansora]

[Despite the recent arrival of a Certain Individual, the holiday ambiance has a cheering effect on Roxas. He has good memories of Christmas from Sora, and this is the first one he'll really get to experience himself. He's dressed nicely, but not overly so, with a scarf draped around his neck and a fir-trimmed Santa hat atop his head. He's seated so that he has a view of the giant tree, because that thing is pretty impressive.]

[flared]

[Axel's always known Roxas has been a part of this place, but he's never had a chance to check things out, so he figures he might as well stop by just to have a peek. So here he is, casually strolling about with his hands folded behind his head and eyes glancing about at the decorations... particularly the large tree at the main floor.

Huh. This is really decked out, isn't it. When was the last time he ever got to celebrate the holidays? He's leaning in to observe the ornaments and the ribbons before he catches sight of a familiar face out of the corner of his eyes.

Watch out, Roxas, he's going to be creeping up to try and put his hands around your eyes from behind.]

this is going to be delightful

[overashadow]

[ Sora had briefly told him about the place, and Riku figures - since he's still learning his way around - that now's as good a time as any to check it out. The tree catches his attention right off, hands in his pockets as he walks toward it. But the boy distracts him more than the tree, hesitating and stepping back to put a little more space between them. ]

...what are you doing here? [ Since he obviously didn't check the roster. Or did and hadn't figured Roxas would show up. ]

[runbysmiles]

[ Sora is grinning away as usual. He's sporting a pair of reindeer horns and a red nose to add to the ensemble. Sadly the look works for him. ]

Excited for Christmas?

Rin - Open!

[keepsthefire]

[The holidays had become a strange time for Rin in the past two years. It was difficult to kill the infectious joy and general happiness for him completely, because really Christmas and his birthday was the biggest event for him every year and he always looked forward to it no matter what.

But it had become somewhat of a double edged sword, because it was also a reminder. A reminder of what he didn't have anymore, and just how much he missed his father.

He was doing everything he could to not let that keep him down, though. He knew that if Father Fujimoto could tell him anything it probably would have been to cheer up, and remember the good times instead of the bad.

Or something like that.

He never could speak for the old man very well.

But the holidays were in full swing at both the Villa and his work, so he happily donned a goofy Christmas hat on top of a red version of his usual chef's jacket with a white apron underneath. He didn't get to be as sparkly as everyone else, but that was the hazard of working with food that could ruin the nicer costumes.

For the moment, if anyone was looking for him (or chancing running in to him on accident) he was on his break from the kitchen, either taking a seat outside of it, or just wandering around and saying hi to some familiar faces.]

/bothers bothers

[halfhearted]

[He waited until the other had settled down in a seat before he will help himself to plopping on down right next to him. Someone was actually sort of dressed for the season and perhaps the snow up on the island.

Attention was going to be directed to the chef's hat that Rin was wearing.]

Where did you pick that up from? [Whether he was interested for mocking purposes or actually interested was a mystery. He kept his tone of voice even as he placed an elbow on the table.]

[fortheempire]

[Just in time for the festivities of the holidays, there would be something new added to the atmosphere of the club. Music! Well, more like live music.

After getting a brand new flute and giving himself some weeks of practice to shake off the proverbial cobwebs of having not played for some time, Ioder could be found either at his table or wandering about, playing both classical songs and proper holiday music.

He might even play a request for you, if he knows it!]

OPEN

[bufudine]

[Serph still has only a vague concept of Christmas, and though the staff was supposedly free to wear their normal wardrobe, apparently his is not good enough for Host Club this month. So after getting harassed into a Christmas themed outfit (with a fur lined mantle over it) by a certain emperor, Serph's ready for for his appointments!]

[dontsaymyname]

[ Barry had wandered into Golden Victory not sure what to expect. He was pleasantly surprised by what he found, even more so by Serph being on the list of available hosts. ]

I didn't think I'd see you here.
