Winter Wonderland - 12th Night Party!

[herr_bookman]

Father Christmas returns from the mountains this 12th night, leading the chained Krampus and his former captives. Some of them are triumphant, some hurt and limping, some are huddled with their friends who have been searching for them.

Those entering the bar today will find one corner of it decked out in a minimalist theme of white, silver, and blue snowflakes. Warm, enchanted snow drifts down from the ceiling, disappearing before it alights on the floor, but piling up on the window sills and mantle of the fire.

Snowmen dance outside on a glassy floor, circling and swaying in lines. Should one want a fancier change of clothes after an ordeal in the labyrinth, it'll magically be provided at the door.

[OOC: Welcome to the Winter Wonderland party! It's officially open through the weekend--hope you enjoy!]

"You'd be surprised, turns out a whole platoon of secret girls can do wonders for diplomacy."

"In what way? Just being more willing to than the men?"

Re: Food + Drink

[shufti]

"I don't really know, but we got it sorted out somehow." Shufti says. "The country was on the verge of starving to death if it hadn't finished."

Re: Food + Drink

[street_sparrow]

"Then it really had to", he says quietly. "One way or another."

Re: Food + Drink

[shufti]

"Jack wants to go back." Shufti says. "I'll have to find out if it's still at peace, whether time has moved on since I went to America."

Re: Food + Drink

[street_sparrow]

"Is there a way to find that out, without actually going back?"

Re: Food + Drink

[shufti]

"No, but I've got my badge, so I can get back at any time." Shufti says.

Re: Food + Drink

[street_sparrow]

He nods.

"At least there's that."

Re: Food + Drink

[shufti]

"And I'm thinking I'm going to be too busy for a long time once the babies are born." Shufti says, with a small sigh. "We'll probably have to go in the next few months."

Re: Food + Drink

[street_sparrow]

"Babies?" His eyebrows shoot up. "Twins?"

Re: Food + Drink

[shufti]

"Apparently I finished my scan a bit too quickly the first time. Guppy told me when he checked me out."

Re: Food + Drink

[street_sparrow]

"That's amazing... but yeah. You're going to be busy, but do you really want to go back now?"

Re: Food + Drink

[shufti]

"No." Shufti admits. "But once I've given birth, it's going to be years before I can. Jack's got a lot of questions."

Re: Food + Drink

[street_sparrow]

"At least take somebody with you. Just in case."

Re: Food + Drink

[shufti]

"Oh there'll be four of us - me, Carl, Jack and Leah. I'll be armed with a crossbow and sword, Carl's got a gun." Shufti says. "It won't take us long to get away if anything kicks off."

Re: Food + Drink

[street_sparrow]

"That's good. And you'll have your badge."

Re: Food + Drink

[shufti]

"Exactly." Shufti says.

"We'll have to talk it through anyway."

She glances over and ticks the last missing person off her list.

"That's the last one accounted for." she says.

Re: Food + Drink

[street_sparrow]

He breathes out at that in relief he wasn't aware of.

"All safe."

Re: Food + Drink

[shufti]

"Yes, all safe." Shufti runs a hand over her tiny bump.

"I think I'd better go upstairs and have a proper sleep, it's been a rough few days."

Re: Food + Drink

[street_sparrow]

"Yeah", he agrees. "You take care of those babies."

Re: Food + Drink

[shufti]

"Thanks for your help." Shufti smiles. "I'll see you later."
