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!

Mono definitely liked them, it was pretty easy to tell as the kid continued to eat it eagerly while they talked.

“Yeah? If it’s got tasty stuff like this, I bet it’s a really neat place!” The kid wasn’t sure what a Wall Market was, but he didn’t have any reason to doubt Aerith’s word on that. “What’s it like?” He asked with a curious tone after another bite of the bun. Mono couldn’t help but wonder if it was like a wall to wall food market, or if there were other things too.

"A lot of it is good and super unique! There's so much of it too!" She moved back and forth on the balls of her feet as she thought about Wall Market. "It's..it's own place I guess," she said with a laugh. "That doesn't explain much, huh? It's basically a big market that's kind of left to run all on it's own in it's own way. Which isn't necessarily a great way, the main guy in charge is pretty scummy." Pretty scummy is a vast understatement about that disgusting guy, but she didn't really want to get into it with someone as young as Mono.

"But it's basically a market with a ton of stalls and restaurants and some clubs too. There's all kinds of different food that you can try as you walk through it."

Mono was listening rather eagerly. It was interesting to learn about other worlds. Munching away on the bun, he nodded when Aerith admitted that ‘It’s its own place’ didn’t really explain much. He wanted to hear more about it! “When you say it’s a big market, it’s bigger than the one here?” He asked curiously, finishing off the bun and then eyeing the red bean buns again… probably wondering if he could take some for later.

At the description of of the guy who ran the Wall Market, he frowned a little. “If he’s scummy, how come they don’t get someone else to run it?” It sounded kind of neat if it had all sorts of food. Wouldn’t you want someone good to run a place like that? Well… Things were rarely that simple, he knew. His world wasn’t so easy a fix as getting rid of one bad egg.

"Much! It's also a lot more crowded." Whether or not that was a good thing was completely up in the air though. Aerith often liked how busy it felt and how everyone had their own story and goals that they were trying to make into reality. They all had hopes and dreams that they wanted to accomplish. It felt alive and that was really nice. But there was no denying Wall Market in particular had a lot of unscrupulous types. A lot of them, actually. None more so than Don himself.

"Because Wall Market is run in it's...own way," she tilted her head to the side and gave a little shrug. "At least until recently. We kiiiiinda may have changed that." It was too bad Don Corneo seemed to have gotten away.

A lot more crowded was a bit scary to imagine, but it also probably had a lot more stuff to hide and sneak around behind if it was even more full than the marketplace here. That might make for an interesting game, certainly… “I bet it’s really fun to watch people in a place like that! Lots of different stuff to see.”

Mono tilted his head slightly, not quite understand what she meant by the place being run in its ‘own way,’ other than the fact that it was run differently from other places… But his knowledge of things being run at all were a bit skewed between his world and this own, so he supposed it would probably be hard to understand even if she did say more. But he perked up a little as she continued, “So you might’ve fixed it, anyway! Like heroes, getting rid of the bad person in charge.”
