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!

"That's was exactly my way of thinking. It's definitely helped me feel a bit more comfortable here. There's a ton of difference from where I'm from, but it's helpful somehow to find the similarities. Even if they're not exactly the same." She gave a little shrug.

"It wouldn't really be a trouble, but it's up to you!"

Aerith was making him feel better about being here and Yuki couldn't be sure as to why that was exactly happening. But she reminded him of Miss Honda with her positive outlook on things.

Maybe that was why.

But he nodded. "whenever you have time would be fine."

The sooner he learned, the better but he wasn't going to rush any of this since she was doing him a huge favour.

"Well, I happen to be pretty free right now, so how about it?" Before he could answer though she started just walking off to see if she could find a stool or something like that around. There seemed to be a stepping stool off to the side that was probably used by the people who set all of the decorations up.

"Hey, this looks like it could work, right?" she said grabbing it by it's little handle.

"Uh..yes I think it would work. Where are you? I can get to your location if you give me just a few minutes."

Heavens forbid, he didn't want her starting without him.
