'Tis the Christmas Log

Where: Rainbow's End
When: 12/24/08-...
What: Christmas; we're celebrating!
Who: Anyone who wants to show up.

Rainbow's End was glittering with Christmas lights, which Mabry had supervised being put up, without lifting a finger to help with. Candles burned in the windows, there was a wreath on the door, and inside was as thoroughly decorated as outside. This was to say nothing of the various pieces of mistletoe hung in improbable places. an enormous tree had been set-up with a veritable mountain of presents beneath it.

As always, an absurd amount of cooking had been done. With the number of friends coming to dinner, no fewer than two turkeys and four ducks had been introduced to the oven. Mabry had lost count of the pies, cheesecakes, and cookies. The pans of dressing and casseroles were almost large enough to bathe in. The midnight chowder for Christmas Eve occupied a vat that could have fed all the residents of some of the smaller worlds.

But at last it was here. the sun had set on Christmas Eve and the time to celebrate the holiday had come.

Robin had felt a twinge of awkwardness upon returning to Radiant Garden so soon after her dramatic exit, but it was nice to be in Rainbow's End again rather than the cramped little gummi ship she'd acquired and learned to fly in record time.

She was wrapped in a well-used red velvet cloak, and currently she was lurking between rooms, returning to the kitchen at semi-regular intervals to stealthily retrieve handfuls of snackable food which she nibbled while she lurked. Mabry had said long ago that Robin ate like a bird; enormous amounts of food in tiny bites.

She hadn't come back because of a need for company. She could do just as well with contact over long distances. She was only here because she'd promised Mabry, so she lurked quietly and kept moving, not sure if she really wanted to be caught and dragged into random conversations.

She did, however, make a point of memorizing the locations of every sprig of mistletoe.

Between helping in the kitchen, chatting with any other Refs present and avoiding the improbably placed Mistletoe, Fox was just mostly hanging around... and possibly bored. It was peaceful, there was good food...

Why did that make Fox feel antsy?

Emmy wandered around Rainbow's End, singing softly(and off key) a pop folk song she'd found online a while ago when investigating youtube during a writing moment (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U_Xdk4PujOE). She didn't really care about the well-placed mistletoe, while she was a wallflower, mistletoe and kissing balls were her favorite holiday tricks. "Five berries for five kisses." she'd announced when she'd been watching people put them up as she helped with decorations elsewhere.

She also helped with greeting the guests and doing her best to be social and entertaining, hoping at some point to bump into the elusive DreamSeeker, who Mabry had said was required to come on the community.

Ari mostly stuck to the kitchen, humming to herself softly. While she was on a bit of a happy daze seeing everyone again, some part of her was shying again. Apparently even after the past year and a half she was still occasionally shy as ever.

'Once this next batch is done, I'll go socialize' She thought to herself, and nodding to nothing. 'Gotta stop being such a shy wallflower'

Amy checked her latest batch of cookies and grinned. Cool enough to be frosted, yay. She glanced over at Jalen, who was sulking at the kitchen table as he frosted the remaining cookies from the previous batch. A smirk danced across her lips for a second before she noticed Ari trying to be invisible.

"Hey, Ari, want a cookie? These ones aren't frosted yet but they should be pretty good." She held up a cookie-tree and waved it slightly.

"Promise it's not poisoned."

Ray grinned.

"Well, I guess I can sing, but it probably won't be carols."

Sometime after helping in the kitchen some, Aria had fallen asleep in a chair somewhere.
