Winter Party Planning Post

[gordianknots]

Hi everyone, Meg/Waver-mun here. As the Calendar of Events indicated, there’s going to be a holiday party over at the Barrel on 19 December.

The long and short of it is that the party will be open to both courts, and amount to an excuse for everyone to hang out around a giant bonfire, have snowball fights, enjoy some excellent food, and hang out.

However, to make sure everyone has a good time, I wanted to ensure that there was a space for everyone to ask questions, make suggestions either in term of decorations, spaces to be made available for activities etc., and plot.

The announcement of the party over the network will be handwaved, and the log itself will go up on Wednesday, December 17th.

A note: Unlike Samhain, where transportation wasn’t a problem, everyone will have to get to the Barrel out in Nihm Gleanne under their own steam. There is a thread here for those who would like to offer taxi services.

Taxi Services

[gordianknots]

For those who'd like to arrange transportation. The Barrel is about five days out from the Station and the Daonna rings.

Questions, Suggestions, Etc.

[gordianknots]

Plotting and otherwise!

Would you still want Jack to play a part with the snow stuff? And if so, are we handwaving him being asked to help out? /o/

caroling of a sort

[waterbearer]

Gotta show off that snazzy new tune of theirs!

Hobbit style, on the table, with mugs if spiked eggnog in hand!

[gordianknots]

Yes, definitely snow it all up! It might be easiest to handwave thought, if that's cool with you?

[gordianknots]

someone please make sure mags shows up

so much egg nog tho

[dragonring]

Is it five days on foot or horse/wagons?

[gordianknots]

Horse/wagons! This is why we're hoping people'll offer to taxi folks on in.

[dragonring]

Gotcha! I'm totally keeping an eye on this thread then. I've noticed that easier travel methods are often requested as boons so it may be a good idea to revise this thread later in the month? After December's boons are delivered we may get some new options.

[gordianknots]

The event's date has already been cleared with the mods, unfortunately, and there's other things going on with the courts later in the month. It really can't be changed.

[dragonring]

Oh, no, I'm not saying that the date should changed, sorry for the bad wording. I'm looking at the calendar and it says the boons are delivered on the 15th, and the party is on the 19th. So I was trying to say that maybe after the boons are done we could say "hey eveyrone, if your character just got something traveling related, remember we're looking for taxis here!" as a quick reminder or something.

[winterwork]

Ye, we can handwave it! Sounds good to me. Jack'll be there then! ♥

[gordianknots]

Oh gosh, my bad! That's a super good point, I'll edit that in right away.

[gordianknots]

Waver'll let Jack in early for Rin room shenanigans.

Promise.

[winterwork]

Yessss.

[gordianknots]

just don't tell her who let you in bud, otherwise waver's getting a gandr to the face

a well earned one, but still

[enthraller]

(but yeah still no idea what this christmas shit is whoops)

[winterwork]

your secret's safe with me

[notyetlegend]

Mer will be heading there on Angus if anyone needs picking up :3

[notyetlegend]

so Jack told Mer about this awesome party :v

Flora

[showmeyourwreath]

Hay sup, heard you guys need a ride.

Flora will be available for taking people to and fro, though I'm not sure if Yule is like Samhain in which everyone stops killing each other, in which case Unseelie might be out unless they're her friends or friends of friends. She's got nothing against you guys, she just doesn't want to die for setting foot too close to your territories.

I know that there are people among the Unseelie who can teleport to places as long as they've been there, so if there are characters who haven't been to the barrel but have been elsewhere, she can help take you the rest of the way, instead!

[showmeyourwreath]

MY LORD, MY LORD, DO YOU NEED HELP

[gordianknots]

sara plz yes come, enjoy a well earned vacation

(an excuse to drink heavily)

[gordianknots]

And Waver's heard awesome things about Mer from Hiccup |D
