happy holidays { open }
I. Arrival
There were postings around town, and fliers going out around the end of November. The holiday party starts early evening, December 1, thanks to the help of several hands. They had worked for a couple of days prior to the start to get the large ballroom decorated to everyone's liking. He had rented out a large ballroom, and started decorating the day before, adding finishing touches early on the day of. Everyone was invited - and while there's no real dress code posted, everyone is invited to dress their best for the sake of the party.
When one approaches the building, there's a clear set of rules posted outside written in neat script:
There's only a few easy rules to ensure everyone enjoys their night:
One, no fighting - if you have to - please take it outside.
Two, no weapons on the premises.
Three, all children under the age of sixteen must leave before nine in the evening.
Welcome in. Grab a mask if you want - or don't - and join the party.

II. Welcome In
When walking through the entrance, the first thing that is easy to notice is how it is decorated. It has the colors of the holidays - red, green, blue, white. It’s mostly deeper shades with pops of brighter shades of the color. On the right of the entryway there is a table with a dark blue cloth over it. On top of it is a wide array of masks - different styles, shapes, sizes. Whatever their heart may desire, you can find here. Masks are, of course, optional! But who doesn’t love a great masquerade?
Above it is a sign that says Yours to Keep - so they may keep whatever masks they pick up.
Next to it is a large book with lined paper where people can drop a short message about the winter holiday they celebrate at home - their favorite part, how they celebrate, anything they'd like to share with other people! This will be picked up at the end of the party.
Not much further ahead is a dancefloor to the left - spacious as ever. To the right is catering - set up as an elaborate display of food and tables arranged so people can sit and eat. There’s food from a variety of places, including Golden Silence. They’ll find not only savory foods, but sweet desserts. In the back corner, not far from the food is a bartender, who is happily serving free drinks for anyone of drinking age.
Past the bar is a hallway with a couple of private rooms. These rooms are quiet - with none of the noise of the party being able to reach them. They're perfect for stepping away from the party for just a few moments of peace and quiet. In this rooms, there's decks of cards and a few simple board games. Each room can hold up to four people and can be locked from the inside.
Don't worry - there's signs posted everywhere so they'll will be able to find what they're looking for.

III. With So Much To Do
A. Dance the Night Away
The music at the party is provided by a variety of individuals. Various talents have been invited through the night, even! If no one is set to perform, there's a playlist set to play. The music goes on non-stop and the styles that will be played will vary. Most of the songs will be fairly upbeat through the night. Some of them are slower paced - so pick a partner and dance.
B. Mistletoe
Throughout the venue there's going to be mistletoe set up in a few spots throughout the building. The spots they're hanging are easy to identify. Most doorways have mistletoe hanging from them. There's also a few prime spots where there's some hanging - such as the corner not far from the bar. It's a perfect place to steal a kiss.
B. Charity Raffle
Near the food, there's a sign directing people to participate and purchase tickets for the charity raffle for a few prizes for people. There's donations (or things purchased) from a few businesses around Camelot. All funds raised from the Charity will go towards helping everyone who lost things during the events with Celliwig/Lestari. There's a variety of things: brunch for two, a date package, opportunities to learn a new skill, and other experiences. Several prizes will be raffled off, and people may purchase as many tickets as they want.
IV. Late at Night
After 9 in the evening, the entire feeling of the party changes. The lights get lower and glowsticks become available just off of the dance floor where they weren't earlier in the night. The music remains upbeat, though there's no performers for this part of the evening - only a playlist cycling through a variety of songs. This is a perfect time to grab a partner for a dance, or grab a drink. There's no real end of the night in sight, people are welcome to stay as long they'd like - even into the next morning if they should want.
Just be sure they're out by lunch the next day when clean-up starts.

Some quick ooc notes:
no subject
Won't say no. ( hm, but in that case... hold on, what was that wine she tried when helping Louis find drinks for this. AH.
one bottle, two glasses please, bartender. )
You alright with white?
no subject
So long as I get a buzz from it, I'm not gonna complain.
[ And again, someone else's tab. ]
no subject
It's good.
( by good she mostly means "high percentage". but it does taste nice, almost citrusy, as it goes down. )
no subject
Sucked in a breath.
And then downed the whole thing in what was maybe three gulps, at most, as if she was somehow being challenged to drink it as fast as she could, though done with the casual air of someone who is just used to this kind of thing.
A sniff, once she her glass down, and she rubbed at her lips. ]
Yeah. Good.
no subject
That kind of night?
( c'mon, Baiken, you're not even the one wearing the dress, do you really need to chug like that? )
no subject
[ Though for the time they'd known each other, it wouldn't be a stretch for Kate to think that nothing was Baiken's kind of party, but a formal event like this was especially awkward for her. To say she was a fish out of water was an understatement... more like a bear out of the woods. ]
no subject
What is?
( that's a genuine question as she takes another drink of wine. everyone has some kind of party, right? even if it's just in the figure of speech way. )
no subject
[ Hell, Kate probably remembered Baiken insisted on being a wallflower at her birthday party, too. ]
Crowds bother me because I don't like the possibility of my right side being brushed by. High society like this bothers me because I feel like I don't belong. Rowdy parties get too loud...
I guess I'm just not a party person...
no subject
Quiet pub person?
( though, if there's alcohol, it sounds like party enough for Kate.
speaking of: more wine? she needs more wine. )
no subject
[ Baiken did too, extending her glass out for a refill. ]
Either way, it's definitely not a scene like this.
no subject
Hear there's rooms in th' back if you want summat quiet.
( or private, she supposes. )
no subject
Mostly. ]
no subject
Can't say I'd complain.
( depending on certain factors, like how willing Baiken was to let her be dictating the pace. )
no subject
Cut out that weak shit. If you're actually gonna proposition me, do it with guts or not at all.
no subject
but very well.
she's not so good with words, unless Baiken is looking for the poetry of "nice suit, wanna fuck?", but there's an easy and more practical way to ask that question:
Kate shifts out of her seat, leans forward, and curls her fingers into the collar of Baiken's suit, tugging her forward into a kiss. )
no subject
Somewhere, in the back of her mind, she was aware Claude was probably somewhere within eyesight of this. He probably had some smugly satisfied remark about how "see? aren't you glad you showed up" prepared, and she also knew he had the self-restraint to hold it back until later.
Whatever. That was gonna be future!Baiken's problem. In the moment, she just let herself enjoy the kiss, and the taste of Kate's lips.
... Good wine, indeed. ]
no subject
whether or not anyone is watching doesn't matter in the moment. this is easy and natural. it feels good, and a low rolling noise escapes Kate as she pulls away. it's not quite a laugh, but it certainly seems amused. pleased.
distracted. )
That better?
no subject
[ Which was probably as good an answer as Kate could expect. Especially with the way Baiken's arm scooped low, holding tight around the other woman's backside. It seemed at first Baiken was securing Kate in her lap, but... she instead slipped out of the stool entirely, arm plenty to hold the other woman up and keep her close. ]
no subject
( that's new. Baiken is short, and being lifted by someone her height isn't something that happens to Kate. ever.
usually she's the one doing the lifting, but it only takes a moment to adapt to it, legs lifting up to wrap around Baiken, one hand lazily finding its way to pink hair that, for once, isn't her own. )
Past th' bar, I think.
( she hasn't actually been to them, so they better hope they're not all occupied or anything.
though, there are always corners. )
no subject
Thankfully, she didn't have to tell any bitches to leave in the room, basically kicking the door open and dropping Kate gently to her feet once she was inside. There was a self-serve bar inside... Nice. Another tab to run up for Claude. ]
Definitely prefer this...
no subject
'E thought of everything.
( nice job, Louis. she's just going to open that bar, thank you. one bottle of tequila, GET. )
Want some?
( she's close to Baiken again quickly enough, opening the bottle and holding it up, ready to pour right into... well. someone's mouth. Baiken's or her own. doesn't really matter. )
no subject
But Kate would get her taste soon enough, with the way Baiken also stole away a kiss, her lips still very much wet with the tequila. ]
cw: they're horny and stupid
it might look like a waste of alcohol, but it won't be for much longer as Kate's tongue flicks against Baiken's lips, her free hand curling into her lapel as the kiss breaks and Kate follows the trail of dripping tequila down the side of Baiken's chin to her throat with chaste, teasing pecks. )
Ruined that shirt... ( oh dear. it'll have to go, won't it? )
Re: cw: they're horny and stupid
Should get rid of all of it, before I spill any more...
no subject
it's fine. they'll still be there when this is all over. she's much more interested in skimming fingers over bare skin, learning the curves and muscles of Baiken's torso as she speaks. )
Tell me what you like.
( there are rare times, perhaps only ever with women, where that question is meant with the utmost seriousness. where the word like replaces want and she actually wants to hear an answer while she continues to pepper teasing kisses and dancing touches of fingers across Baiken's chest. )
