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!

Jacob smiled and decided to try to act as if he believed her. It wasn't that he thought she was lying on purpose but he saw a lot of his past self in Illyana and found it difficult to separate his own preconceived notions with the facts. He made a mental note to work on that. It wasn't fair to her to make those kinds of assumptions and he valved their friendship enough to put in the extra effort.

"I think it's sturdier than wood." He could make a gingerbread house that not even Hanse and Gretal would eat. "I'll make sure to make cookie daggers next time."

Jake glanced back at Illyana and frowned. "Do you have any food in hell? I figured that you wouldn't have to eat there." He was also pretty sure Heaven would have been the same way.

"Perhaps they would be good weapons for my imps. They're about their size," she smirked. In all honesty, she could see herself giving them cookie daggers as actual weapons. It'd be a joke but at the same time it'd probably work for them. Actually, they'd probably like it.

"Of course we have food in hell," she shook her head and made a tsk sound. "Even demons have to eat. Usually each other."
brotherofagod: (Drinking Water.)

"I'd be happy to make you more." He didn't know what he did to make the cookies this hard but he was sure that he could duplicate it and gingerbread could be formed into any shape.

Also little daggers for imps would be adorable and deadly.

"Do they cook it or are they into the tartar thing?" He knew of some creatures that ate raw meat or their prey but most of his family preferred to cook their meat. Eating as wolves made some of them queasy.

"How much would you charge?" she said with a smirk. Would she actually get some for the imps? Yes. She probably actually would. Maybe it'd help them somehow. Or at least distract them from her for a time.

"Some cook it. Some enjoy the screams of their prey as they eat." In a weird way they were individualistic enough to be compared to humans. Some were more primal while others were much more capable.
brotherofagod: (Pure Confusion.)

"Add more syrup?" He suggested with a shrug. Jacob didn't know what he'd do but it sounded fun to make more cookies and attempt to make them intentionally awful. It was the kind of stupid shit he'd get up to in grade school.

Jacob wrinkled his nose when she mentioned the way that imps ate. "While they're alive? That's harsh." Not that he could judge too much but he imagined that it was a crappy way to go.

"Do you expect demons to not be harsh?" she said with a chuckle and a shake of her head. "Because if so you will be very disappointed."
brotherofagod: (Default)

[personal profile] brotherofagod 2022-01-26 07:28 pm (UTC)(link)
"Nah. I expect them to be like humans." He shrugged. "A little of everything. I don't think our races really tell us who we are. We decide that and get to change our minds whenever we want." At least that was his experience.

"What a cute little way of thinking," she said with a scoff. "Demons hold some traits like humans, but at the end of the day they're demons. They crave destruction and power. Chaos. And everything is decided by the one who has the most power."
brotherofagod: (Up to Trouble.)

[personal profile] brotherofagod 2022-02-01 08:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Jacob grinned. "I have been told that I am very cute." Though less so since he had arrived in the city of Aterat.

"Honestly that sounds like a lot of human's I know too. Maybe I just have shitty luck?" He absolutely had shitty luck.

"Have you? How surprising." There wasn't even an attempt to hide her smirk that accompanied that statement. No attempt at all.

"Maybe you do. Or maybe humans are closer to demons than they would like to think."
brotherofagod: (Giggle High.)

ooc: warp up soon?

His palm moved to his heart as if he had been physically wounded by her words. "Ouch." His play-acting didn't stop him from smiling as he met Illyana's gaze. "That's possible. I think stuff like that really depends on your point of view."

Jacob glanced around the party and shook his head, suddenly distracted by a wayward thought. "Ah. That's right. If you do want little weapons for your friends. I can also make them out of wood. It'd be just as hard as cookies."
