Winter log
Who: Everyone!
What: Open Log
When: December
Where: The Hunter's Lodge
Warnings: N/A
Notes: This is a mingle log, so people are free to set up their own TLs under it. So tag in and tag around!
Snow has fallen outside and while it's not heavy it's set just enough down to gently cover the wooden benches and ground outside. The chairs have been removed but the lanterns are still out and lit (as well as the little lights that have been replaced with more festive ones) if people want to walk around outside and have private chats among the snow, the trees and the lighting.
Potluck - Food is all around. Got a story about how the food you brought is part of a long standing family tradition? So much the better! But Ignis for his part has been researching and working on bringing the foods he's heard about. So here you'll find an appetizer platter along with a cream cheese tree, turkey, ham, his version of the Crown City roast, stuffing balls, roasted potatoes and roasted vegetables, and of course a few different desserts.
So you can find him making sure the table is decked out in christmas colours and full of food. But as he sets the last appetizer tree down on the table, he nods. "Quite glad to see that you could make it."
Trim a tree A small group of freshly cut green trees are sitting in a corner with room to go around the back. Simple lights are already in place, but there are ornaments with hooks sitting in silent invitation to decorate the tree and gather around as well as different coloured garland too.
But there's plenty of supplies and being able to decorate a tree with Nida last year was all sorts of fun as it will be again this year. So the advisor is definitely happy that nature can come inside at least temporarily.
Ignis stands back and takes a look at the trees with a satisfied sort of nod. "I suppose after the holiday, I will see about replanting it outside." Turning to his guest, there's an easy smile. "It won't do to simply throw it away do you think?"
Gift exchange - Gifts aren't required, but people are free to do so. This can be as private or as public as wished! The royal strategist is busy arranging gifts under the tree, trying to make some sense as to how they should be grouped, so he's on his knees trying to keep the order straight. As soon as someone approaches, he acknowledges their presence with a smile. "Would you mind handing me that blue wrapped gift sitting on the chair right next to you?"
Wild card- Dancing? Snowball fights outside? Feel free to make up a thing here!

Of course he hoped he would be here when someone else was married whether that would happen at the lodge itself or not. Several of the hunters had expressed doing their own weddings here, but so far no one had broached the topic to him.
And that's when he stopped and saw a bunch of pinecones in the snow. And as he reached for one to inspect it, an acorn fell right on the top of his head. Looking up there were a few squirrels who seemed to be chattering away and a few more acorns fell. His first thought was to try and give some back, but then again, finders keepers.
He fed the wildlife a lot too, leaving things out for them at random times.

Which meant he saw a pinecone get dropped right on the man’s head, a small gasp and an almost but not quite giggle escaping at the squirrels staring down at the man. “I think they wanna help… Or they want you to go away.” He said as he hurried over, staring up at the squirrels carefully. “You okay, Mr. Ignis?” He asked with at least some concern, being hit in the head with things hurt sometimes. Though acorns were pretty small at least compared to some things.

Mono just was so adorable with his concern and he shook his head again. "I'm quite alright. But here."
Crouching down carefully, he nodded. "Hold out your hands, I've found quite a bit of decorations for your project." And of course Ignis was honoured to be a part of it having not had such joy like this as a child.

At the instructions, he held out both hands carefully together to make it easier for the man to hand over what he collected. “Wow, that’s great. It’ll make some really good snowmen. Thank you, Mr. Ignis!”
Wrap?
He nodded to the boy being excited over such tiny things, but if they were quite suitable for the task at hand, then he was more than happy to have been of service in assisting to collect them. "You're quite welcome. I daresay you should have enough for more than a few of them."
Sure!
Then, at some point, he'd seek Ignis out again to show his handiwork rather proudly. All in all, it was a very nice start to his second winter in this world.
FBT!
