it's the most wonderful time of the year

[ Today's invitations are stupidly glittery. Like, there is an obscene amount of glitter? It is going to get everywhere and also on you and there is almost nothing you can do, so enjoy it. They are also obnoxiously colored, because Aligula has missed having the option of adding colors to all of her creations, and she has decided to rectify this.

Anyway, the message itself is blessedly simple, and written in her usual curly-cute script:

Christmas party in the ballroom at 5pm!!
Don't be late!!!
Lots of treats!!!!
also bring whatever you don't want from whatever you got out of that crappy vending machine because we're doing a
~SUPER SANTA SWAP MEET~
and a super special contest!!!

~ Aligula ♥

...The ballroom is likewise obnoxiously decorated, with cut-out Christmas trees and ornaments and chains of colorful streamers and... and look, we got an art studio. Aligula's determined to make up for lost time here. Her treats are all sorts of sweets, like cookies and cakes and a small parfait bar, but she actually does have some other things available: peanut butter and jelly finger sandwiches, an attempt at curry that's pretty bland, salad. The usual refreshments are there too—water, hot chocolate, milk with various syrups so you can make your own, some tea that's been steeped way too long sorry tea drinkers!!!

The swap meet is more or less relegated to the space by the piano; go dump your unwanted things and trade with other people, or just take it off their hands. Or, if you want to be more Santa-like, go gift someone something you don't want!!! Either to get it off your hands or because you think they'd actually like it, whatever. As for the contest...

There's a table marked "COORDY-J CONTEST" off to the side, with plenty of paper and supplies from the art storage—the rules are there too and also very simple: Draw what you think Jericho looks like, and the winner gets to throw the first doll into the fire. ]

swap meet

[ ... those sure are a lot of cigarettes. He's absolutely eyeing them with interest before coming over to very casually (see: a little awkwardly) ]

D'you want those?

[sleepytimegal]

Noooo way Jose. Smoking and me doesn't really mix, I tend to just...choke. [ ...don't think she doesn't catch that tone- ] Do you?

[paralogical]

[ Jose? That earns her a perplexed look but, eh. Not important. ]

I do, yeah. Doesn't seem like anyone else here does. [ Who knows though. He's willing to share if they do, but as far as he knows nobody else has mentioned wanting them. ]

[sleepytimegal]

[ Then....... ]

So, you want cigarettes for Christmas?

[paralogical]

[ That gets a chuckle out of him. Good job, Alex! You're spoiling him. ]

They're all I want. [ There's a pause here and then: ] What about you, enjoyin' your present?

[sleepytimegal]

Oh, well, I really wanted a horse, but it looks like I didn't get one under the tree. [ She puts on a fake pout and then shrugs with a goodhearted smile. ] I'm not really looking for anything, other than...I don't know, more stuffed animals.
