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!

Jagger could respect that. There were a lot of things about his life that weren't normal, were far from it in fact, and even some that he'd begun to take for granted, such as how prevalent ghosts were, and how often they weren't ghosts at all, nevermind the fact that he just knew things by touching things.

He frowned, thoughtful for a moment before looking back to the guy. He was sure he was going to regret asking, but his curiosity was always stronger than his sense of preservation.

"Hang on, how do you just find out you're a god?"

Jacob let out a low throaty laugh at the question. "You aren't the first person to ask me that. I honestly think my sister is a bit of a ditz." He spoke affectionally but he also had no illusions about his sister. She tried too hard and at times her combination of guilt and self-righteousness was annoying.

"I think it's because she tried to hard to fit in. I can't really relate but maybe it was because she saw herself as odd." He shrugged again. "I don't really know. If she ever shows up here I'll point her in your direction. Maybe she'll have a better answer."

"You know, I look forward to meeting her, on the off chance she ever shows up around here, anyway." The odds of that actually happening weren't as low as he originally thought, considering how many people had arrived here from other places together.

"She'd probably like that." Jacob reflected wistfully before looking back at the bright lights pouring from the lodge windows. "We should probably get back to the party, huh?" He wasn't a big party person but he'd come here to at least show his face.

"I'm not good at big gatherings."
