*is in the great hall needed a bit of help from the Lady*

Miss Lady of the house could I have some assistance please?

*sets the last plate on the long dining room table and steps back to admire the table full of food from meat to vegetables to cookies and cake* There~ Food is done.

*looks around the room and smiles at the festive decorations, the lighted Christmas tree in the corner with small presents under it, stockings along the fireplace where a warm fire is heating the room which has been thawed for the occasion. Festive music is playing over some speakers around the room.*

Now we just need some guests.

*walks to the doors which have been kept shut while the preparations were being made and pushes them open* The house sent the invitations and it's about time to start. I hope everyone likes it.


((It's a mingle thread! Thread-hop and jump around to everyone that is at the party. Everyone is invited and we hope you come. Everyone got an invitation from the house and the party is being put on by Fai and Kurogane to celebrate the season. Under the tree and in the stockings are presents for everyone from the house. You get to decide what it is in the thread if you want. So come in, mingle, and enjoy!))

As if the ice skates weren't enough...

[clinging to the wall of the Great Hall looking really displeased.  He's not going anywhere one because he can't skate and two because there is a nice thing of mistletoe over his head that's keeping him there... I'm sure you know why :)]

[skates down the halls looking around] I can live with this. Cold but not too cold-- [stops when he sees a table in the hall with several balloons, a bundle of flowers and a cake that says 'Happy Birthday Jack']

........ [looks around before slashing the balloons, the flowers and throwing the cake against the wall] I'll just take the ice as my gift. I don't want anything else. [frowns and continues to skate on]

There's nothing to celebrate--I'm supposed to be completely mortal by now but instead I have to deal with another year...

[ooc; It's Jack's 'birthday'--I chose a day that would fit him best and WHY NOT THE FIRST DAY OF WINTER? :D though he's not too happy about it...]

*is in better spirits than he's been in weeks; sitting in the great hall, bundled up in a couple of blankets; talking to self* Fai-san's project is complete. Now, what to do for everyone myself? I haven't even thought about it and I'm running out of time.

*waltzes through the Great hall doors swishing his hair behind him with his chainsaw over his shoulder. stops when he notices the scenery change*

What?! Not again. Why did I come back to this place?

*pouts a bit as he looks around the familiar halls*

Now I will never see my beloved Sebas chan. He wasn’t here last time, so why would he be here now. *flicks hair back again, sighs*

And I even got my hair done just to see him. Sebas chan will never get to see my beauty again and he’ll forever want for it and never be able to satisfy that craving. It’s not fair.

[doesn't really mind the skates or the cold; IS A WALKING HEATER, but he has on his regular jacket, gloves and mask just in case] Ice. I can't even melt it. Maybe I'll go look for Sasuke... I haven't seen him since I got here and I heard there was huge drama. That's why I felt that the other day in the garden. [turns around and just sort of coasts through the hall] Sasuke? Hey. Where are you?

Uwaaaaaaah!

[slides past you, bumps into the wall, and tries to run back, but it's basically the icon happening.]

So slippy! Too cold! Chi doesn't like slippy cold thing!

You have to be fucking KIDDING ME!

[the only reason she's barely upright is because Stone Free is holding her up, otherwise she would be flat on her ass right now]

To hell to this, I'm going to go live outside until this is over.
Where the hell is my jacket.

*sitting on a sofa, touching the arm of it with her fingers* It is wet. *leans forward to touch the floor* The floor is also wet. Chii cannot walk. Chii has also never seen the shoes. *sits back up, looking at the pink ice-skates next to her* Chiii?

*giggles as she skates down the hallway, doing pirouettes, axels and all sort of ice skating folly* Oh my gosh, this is so awesome! I wish my palace would do this! Wheee!!!!

*was quite surprised to find the house iced over once recovered from his injuries from the maze* Oh my...this is quite a predicament. Hmm...well, it's been a while since I've done this...*looks down* Oh! *laughs* Well I guess I won't have to worry about those...*starts to skate down the hallway* it's unusual for a whole house to be like a ice skating rink, hmm....

*is on a mission... but the ice is making things difficult DX* Ryuichiiii! Ooof! *slips and falls*

...well, at least it's pretty. Kind of annoying, though. *dramatic sigh* It's gonna be hard to find him like this.

((She's looking for Ryu, but feel free to pester. ^^))

*has been harnessed to a little dogsled* You gotta be kiddin' me....

ah-KYU! *only has traction because of his claws* >A< This sucks!

ooc: If you want him to pull you anywhere, you'd better have a whip...or know the 'magic word'...

*skates through the halls easily, an excited expression on face*

I remember this! This was my favorite part of last year. *does a little pirouette and continues on*

Weeeee~ The house should do this more often.


((Please ignore the fact that the icon as two eyes..just seemed the most appropriate expression))

*on his back, against a wall, feet up in the air, having fallen on the ice*

You'd think I'd remember how to do this thanks to last year...

*a very grumpy black kitty with an eyepatch (tho' it's not in the icon) is curled up in a chair in the library; every now and then, he sneezes* I wonder what I did to anger the House.
