Winter is not a season
Who; Everyone (don't forget to tag in & tag around!)
What; The Winter Festival
Where; The circus complex and the park
When; Today & lasting for 1 week
Warnings; None, but if something needs a warning, please label as such!
Back in November, Ignis petitioned Halcyn for a Winter Festival. He requested snow, lots of lights, and an in ground hot tub or two or more.
Train/moogles/horses - There's also a small train to go ride around the city, and horses will again appear for sleigh rides. Moogles will be appearing/on hand to give directions to where things are if people get lost. They are also serving as sources of information in case someone doesn't know anything about a festival or activity. Just ask the moogle kupo!
Food/shopping - Ignis also learned of and requested that European style christmas markets (including Japanese ones) so all of the foods for those countries and all of the things/traditions that they are associated with will be available. Whatever country has what, feel free to learn about it, or whatever different world. Recipe books will be available for whatever place too so pick one up while you can because you might want to learn to cook it for yourself! (Sorry folks, Remy not included) Enjoy all the shopping and fooding even if you've never heard of that place, world or food before. So eat, drink and be merry!
Activities/things to do - Skiing, sledding, skating and tobogganing will be available and if you're really tough, maybe archery hunting in skis may appeal. Riding on a ski lift can be a relaxing thing to do as well. Snowboarding is available as well, but a few words of caution on that. There may be sledding moogles as you go, lots of trees to run into, balloons, and if you hit an igloo, there may be an angry moogle that throws a table at you. There are also snow chocobos and snow moogles along that path.
For those not so daring to go snowboarding, the snow moogles and snow chocobos will be around town in different spots so that they're not missed. And while they won't throw snowballs at you, your friends just might! And you can ride a horse to go see a model of a royal library. A word of caution however, as there may be monsters even if they're mostly slimecicles. There may be some Luminous Lamplings or Bongo Fandangos lurking about too.
Other activities/happenings - There will also be events and things for the Chinese New Year, such as lion dances, all sorts of traditional foods, decorations, fire works, firecrackers and kids might get red envelopes. Since it is now the Year of the Rabbit, adorable rabbit decorations of all sorts are everywhere. On the last day of this Winter event will be the Lantern Festival.
Something else to note - If you're feeling adventurous there's a place or two to get married! The Hunting Lodge is always open so you could married there too! Take a walk through some Christmas illuminations for romance, or just because they're pretty.
Other notes - People from home will appear this week too as it's a fourth wall event, so be on the lookout for them! And if all of this stuff doesn't work, feel free to choose your own wintry adventure!

He plucks up one of his purchases from the mound being packaged into a large bag, and holds the rabbit out to Leon.
"There, now you're alright. You don't have to convince yourself that it's worth it to invest in the bunny you Clearly want."
no subject
His blue eyes blinked at the unexpected offer of a Rabbit and he wasn't sure whether or not to take it although he did after a few seconds.
And even if he believed in giving back, he still was so confused as to why he was given a gift.
Leon didn't need gifts. But he was going to keep it no matter what.
"Thanks..I think."
Seriously, what was this guy's deal?
no subject
Because Leon should clearly be happy. This is a party.
no subject
He didn't need anybody to do that for him.
Why was this guy concerned about that or why would he even mention it?
no subject

no subject
"Yeah, well, it doesn't hurt, so there. If you're going to toss it, wait until I'm not around. It's more polite."

His hand then engulfed the little thing as if to protect it. He couldn't even recall last time anyone got him anything? Well he couldn't remember other than Yuffie and Aerith because they didn't buy into his scowling. Heck even got a grudging gift from Cloud. Cid just didn't dare nor did anyone else.
So he looked back down at the thing. "I don't..usually get gifts."
indeed
"Maybe you should. Maybe more people should get gifts more often."
Because he can't say 'I don't get gifts often either' without sounding pathetic.
no subject
"So says the guy carrying gifts. But you realize that this means you should get presents too. It isn't going to be one sided."
Since Tommy was acting like Santa Claus here.
no subject
"Dude, it's fine that it's one sided. I've got plenty of funds."
no subject
He made a mental note of that.
"That's not the point and you know it."
Stubborn lion was stubborn even if he made his point in a gentle tone.
no subject
"Yeah it sorta is. And if someone gives a gift with the intention of getting something back, that's not a gift. It's a bribe. I don't bribe."
no subject
There was something in the other, but Leon wasn't going to try and analyze it at the moment. He had plenty of time to do that later. "But thanks for the gift all the same, I appreciate it."
no subject
There's a totally teasing grin there. Tommy's not going to do that, but he wants to see the reaction.
Wrap?
But then he remembered the other's words at the Ball so he smirked before turning away.
"If that's what works for you handsome."
And he walked out the door.
indeed
Was that flirting? Was that flirting back? Was that just mocking? Tommy sort of just doesn't know what to do with that. And it's hard to think of an answer to. Because it might be fun to think of something like this, to flirt and play. But at the same time... Fuck, his heart hurt to even consider it.
If he got attached, the guy would disappear, and that would hurt. It always hurt. So he doesn't chase, even after he's paid. Better not to chase.
