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!

“So you’re not nice to everyone… I haven’t seen you be mean to anyone, though.” He responded with a curious tone in his voice. Not that the kid knew anything about her time without a soul or had seen her in her own world. Mono was a bit innocent of that, and hadn’t happened upon seeing her do anything particularly bad or mean here.

“Yeah? I’m glad you got away…” He mumbled quietly, still thinking about that rather seriously. The fact that it was a common problem for people to have happen to them? He didn’t like it, not one bit.

Mono blinked at the idea that the imps should move in with him for a bit. “I don’t mind. My apartment’s kinda weird and empty most of the time, since it’s just me in it. Maybe they can learn to do stuff if they see me!” He had gotten a few things, like clothing and a music box, but he really wasn’t sure what to do with the space. It was kind of weird having a place to live and not moving around every so often for safety.

"Do you watch me specifically often?" she said with a little upturn of her lips. "I'm only cruel if the situation calls for it. Most of the time I'm just dismissive." Which was actually pretty accurate, at least in regards to how she saw herself. "Besides, you've never known me in Limbo or at war." And a part of her hoped he never did see either of those things.

"From that. Only into another situation of being used." But that was the way of her kind.

Well, that was definitely not the reaction she expected. She tilted her head curiously. "Well, perhaps I will send them to you then."

“Um…” He fussed with a button on his coat, “Yeah, I Kinda do, I guess. At first it was ‘cause I was following everyone to make sure they weren’t like people in my world. Now I just like to check on people and make sure things are okay.” He could always ask, but Mono didn’t always think about that. Since he didn’t have much to do most of the time, the kid just randomly picked a person to follow and check on to see if they needed any help.

There were a few people, of course, who he found actually needed the help… But most of the time it was just him curiously following someone until he got distracted or something came up.

“Oh… That sucks.” He responded, having learned the term more recently. It seemed fitting for her situation, after all. Going from one bad spot to another, that just didn’t seem right.

Mono nodded quickly at her response. “Okay! I’ll make sure I got some extra snacks for them.” That was what you did if you had guests, right? Especially guests that needed to learn to not be bad at things. Treats were… rewards…? No, Mono had no idea what he was doing here.

"You should be careful who you watch. You never know what unpleasantness you may accidentally see." Especially if he was watching her. "Should I be offended you don't think I can take care of myself?" It was actually kind of sweet in a weird way to think he'd watch her for her safety.

"Sucks describes it accurately." It seemed like a good word to describe things that couldn't really be changed.

"Don't spoil them too much."

“So far I haven’t seen anything unpleasant, at least not compared to home.” The boy shrugged a little at the warning. No, he wouldn’t be taking that seriously… The foolishness of youth, perhaps. “And I know you can take care of yourself! Um… But I kinda like to make sure, you know? If you ever needed help or a warning, I could!” He added clumsily, words coming out a bit hastily.

At the request to not spoil them, Mono tilted his head thoughtfully. “I dunno what would be spoiling them, but I’ll try my best?” The kid was absolutely going to spoil them, Illyana. He wouldn’t know any better…

"It seems as though you don't know," she said with a little smirk. "I hope I'll never need a warning like that. This place is hardly that dangerous. At least not compared to Limbo." And she'd survived there. For the most part.

"Well, I do hope you enjoy their company."

“Yeah… Weird stuff happens here, but it always seems to get taken care of before it gets too bad.” Mono responded with a little nod, it definitely was less dangerous than his world, at least it was as long as you stayed away from dangerous areas. “But if I do see anything, I promise to make sure you know before anything bad happens!”

Mono thought he would, though perhaps that would change if they turned out to be more than he could handle having around. “It’ll be fun, and you can visit too. Then I can tell you if they got any better at stuff or if they learned something.”
