Who: Graces House or anyone who wants to visit
When: Late Evening December 14th

Style: Whatever!
Status: Semi-Open: If you know members of the Graces cast or would be visiting the house jump in

[It's rather late for Malik to return home, even after his normal return time from an evening working the bar at the Golden Victory.

He heads into the living room and starts a fire in the fireplace. It's not clear what he's been up to since his shift was over, but he's carrying a small bag with him. He sets it next to his big leather chair.

He's been wearing a red velvet shirt with a black vest to go with the seasonal decorations up at the host club. Home now, he begins to unwind by unbuttoning the vest. In addition to his more formal attire, he's also taken to wearing a Santa-hat and a big, white, fake moustache while working at the club. He thinks about removing them, but decides not to. To be honest, he's growing a little attached to them. Everyone seems to enjoy this holiday and his accessories tend to make people smile.

As the fire begins to catch he makes his way to the kitchen to prepare himself a nightcap.

He returns to a crackling fire and a warming chair. With a bit of a grunt, he lowers himself into it. He takes a sip of his drink and closes his eyes.

There's an empty chair or two right next to him bathed in a warm and toasty glow from the fire.]

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.

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.

Who: Sophie, Pascal, Malik Caesar, Hubert Ozwell, Asbel Lhant, Cheria Barnes.
When: Thanksgiving Daaaaay! (so, front-dated a little bit)
Where: Grace's House Graces House
Style: I'm starting in brackets, but y'all can do whatever you want ~
Status: Closed

[ Cheria had been extremely busy since the morning, preparing everything they would need for their feast that night. She'd worked so hard on all of this, and it was really starting to become obvious in how tired she was ... it would be worth it, though, right?

When Cheria had heard of this holiday, she immediately knew she wanted to try and do something for it. She and her family had been through a lot in the past year or so, regardless of whether or not it was in Vatheon or in their own world, and she felt that it was only appropriate to celebrate and be thankful for everything they had.

Plus, there was always a good reason to get everybody at the dinner table, right? Cheria tried to stick to the ordinary Thanksgiving traditions she'd read about, food-wise, but she tried to incorporate something that every individual person in their little family liked into the meal as well.

There was a lot of food still in the process of being made. Cheria leaned against a nearby wall, sighing tiredly and wiping her forehead with her sleeve. It was getting there, but there was still quite a bit left to do. ]

Who: Serph and YOU
Where: The Park
When: November 14th, afternoon
Style: [brackets] preferred, but I can adjust
Status: WIDE OPEN

[It's been quite some time since Sera's departure, and since then, there have been others -- both Tribe and friends -- who have left Vatheon and not returned. Serph doesn't know if they'll return. Maybe they will. Maybe they won't. In the end, the decision isn't in his hands.

Before, there hadn't been time for these departures to affect him.

Which is why he's in the park, kicking a hacky sack. Signless had taught him the game when he'd noticed Serph watching him, so many months ago. In some ways, this is an imitation of that time; while Serph's content to play on his own, he's more than happy to play with people passing by.

Will you join in?]

Who: Malik and Zelda/Sheik
Where: Plaza Cafe near the Library
When: 11/11 Noon
Status: Closed

[Malik is sitting at the cafe that Zelda mentioned waiting for her or Sheik to show up. He made the suggestion to Sheik, but it was Zelda who set up the meeting.

He's a little bit earlier than they had set the time for, so he ordered a tall glass of lemonade while he waited. He's leaning all the way back into his chair, relaxing, and casually observing the passersby in the plaza, occasionally sipping his lemonade from a pink bendy straw.]

The theme switch for the Golden Victory this month is virtually non-existent. Gone are the Halloween decorations but nothing's been done to take their place unless the other hosts have taken it upon themselves to decorate. It seems their fearless leader isn't quite so fearless after all and needs some extra time to recover from the most recent curse. He's been absent for almost two weeks now, save to come in and take down the previous month's decor. 

Per usual the rules and employee roster are posted near the door. It seems the staff has thinned a bit.
The staff may make use of the wardrobe upstairs to find whatever they feel like wearing this month, or even simply don their normal attire. Tired as he is, it doesn't seem Zelos cares much what the others wear when he finally makes his appearance.

Who: Pascal, you
When: Thursday, various times around the day
Where: Various locations in both Vatheon and the island
Style: Up to you!
Status: Open



Another day in Vatheon, another new foreigner, it would seem.

Other than the little detail that this one was sleeping under a tree, somewhere in the city. Quite probably not the last place she was seen sleeping. Just exploring the weird new place and going around until she was tired again.

Who would care to bother her?

Another month has passed and it is time for another oppertunity to mingle. Knowing of the curse that haunts the foreigners, Station Master has taken extra care to plan this party and the preparations only during the daylight hours. Wouldn't want to cause a giant panic, right?

Today, the little tucked away part of the plaza has been livened up with a host of spooky decorations, black cats and witches, skeletons and tomb stones, they have all been placed amongst the food tables, allowing for a casual halloween-ish mood. There are also a lot of pumpkins there, freshly prepared especially for this feast.

The tables of food are back too, filled to the brim with pumpkin pies, pumpkin squash, pumpkin cups cakes, honestly, you can put a pumpkin in and it is there. There are also large bowls of candy, free for the taking.

Naturally the two booths are there again, the one belonging to the welcoming committee, for any new (or old) character with a burning question, and the one belonging to the host club. Who knows what theme they have this week. Only way to find out is to check it out!

Finally, part of the plaza has been set up to allow for the talent contest that was to be held here, organized by a few of the foreigners themselves. Maybe it is time to check it out and see if there are any cool talents on display? Or maybe you have your own talent to display. If so, feel free to visit the show.

As every month, an invitation had gone out to all the foreigners in the day leading up to the party, reminding them of the party, the date, the times, and this time, attached had been an invitation to come dressed up. They might not be able to celebrate Halloween during the evening hours, but maybe a slightly late Halloween party would lift the spirits anyway? Station Master has certainly joined in himself too. For a day, he has exchanged his trusty cap for the scariest thing he could possible think of: a familiar white nurse's cap. 2spooky.

Who: Radical Edward and you!
Where: All around the bubble!
When: Halloween night!
Style: I'll follow you!
Status: Open!

( Free candy day! Free candy day! )

Per usual the rules are posted on a clear sign at the door and below it lies the employee roster. There's the addition of a new member of the staff this month! Not to mention a new notice at the bottom.

This month the hosts all are dressed up in costumes of their own choices! Some may be creepy, some funny, and some just might not even try that hard. It doesn't seem like Zelos is policing the outfits all that closely this time around.
