Christmas party ~~~~!

Days passed and winter made its way to San Miguel. What started with a slight cold breeze ended up in a snow storm, covering the town in bright white snow. And even after the hail stopped and the sun rose, the snow did not melt.

Winter was welcome. It was a change not made by any of the players of the board. It had a "natural thing to happen" feeling to it, something that could not be changed. Something normal, perhaps. And after the last game, normality was as welcome as hot chocolate, warm clothes and snowfights.

Had it been already 2 weeks after the Puppeteer's game? Time seemed to fly. The innkeepers did their best to keep the spirits high, and even decorated their building with all kinds of seasonal things. Of course, the magically lit path into the forest wasn't their doing, but they said nothing of it.

The invitations were sent that very morning. It was small, and simply worded.

You are invited to a Christmas party. Follow the lights into the forest. No games, just an evening to celebrate. Kind regards, Beatrice.


Everything was ready. Music, tables, food, everything was in place. And as soon as the sun set, the guests would arrive. Some confused, some wary, but they'd arrive. And they'd find a warm and cozy hall to enjoy no matter their suspicions.

The witch smiled as she lit the last candle in the enormous Christmas tree in the hall. It was time.

Let the party begin.


{Sup guys! Welcome to the party. We have tons of food, comfy chairs, nice wines and a very wide dance hall with incredible music to enjoy. Not enough? Don't worry! Those Jerkass Messengers were reluctant, but allowed visits this day! So feel free to bring someone to enjoy the festivities!

If someone wants to know, in-game date is today, December 18. Random tidbits.

There will be a special surprise for the residents at the end~ and now, without further ado, have fun!}

Good night, and be welcome, guests! Our dearest host Beatrice wanted everyone invited to have some fun tonight, in celebration of Christmas, whether you know what it is about or not.

But that's not why was I invited! This night I have the honor to play a little game with you all, with the deepest hope it will bring happiness to all of you.

[With the Tree at his back, he looks inside his enormous backpack and takes out several items and stuff...]

You were all given a number in your invitation, am I wrong? Please, pay special attention to it!

[Aaaand he's got a small roulette now!]

If you hear your number, please raise your hand!

[Go go go go roulette!]

Twenty-two!

Congratulations, young lady!

[Hands her a small cup, beautifully decorated.]

This is prize number 1, a cup I found during my travels. It was said to be the cup where an old king drank poison for, making it the only witness to his violent death... Truly a terrifying story!

[She takes it gently, careful that it will not break.]

I'll treasure it!

[Mira su invitacion y ve el numerito.

¡Pero que suerte! ¡Haber venido fue una gran idea!]


Esa soy yo!! [se acerca rapido pero con clase]

Tiene mucha suerte, jovencita...

Este es un extraño violín, lo encontré en un bazaar en tierras lejanas. Aun cuando tiene cuerdas y arco, este violín no hace sonido alguno! Es toda una rareza... espero que cuide bien de él!

[¿¡QUE?! ¡¿Un violin viejo que encima de todo no sirve?! ¡¿Qué clase de regalo es este?!

Calma, respira hondo, recuerda los modales, todo mundo la esta mirando y debe comportarse como la dama que es. No va a montar un escandalo aqui, de ninguna manera.

Sonrie con toda lindura y acepta el regalo]


Oh, es muy hermoso, muchas gracias.

[And again!]

We're getting closer to the big prize...

Nineteen!

Excuse me, that'd be me. [Giggle.]

[identity profile] sellhappiness.livejournal.com 2010-12-26 05:18 am (UTC)(link)
Ah, would you look at this!

[Shows a golden vintage pendant, with a deep purple jewel on it.]

I found this while exploring a distant and mysterious palace, in a place forgotten by time. Even as the stones broke and the walls fell, this piece survived. Take good care of it, young lady!

[She takes it with both of her hands.]

Thank you very much, sir!

Only two left~!

[The roulette stops spinning....]

Twenty-nine!

[identity profile] sellhappiness.livejournal.com 2010-12-26 05:28 am (UTC)(link)
Oh dear, it seems the winner isn't here... I wonder why.

Still, fate plays us all, and the choice cannot be changed! Let me explain what he won and what he'll be seeing soon enough in his hands!

[Shows a bright, silver feather. It's almost 30 cms long.]

This magnificent feather from a very rare creature. It is said to hear one's wishes and makes them come true... but it doesn't listen very hard, for what I've seen...

[identity profile] sellhappiness.livejournal.com 2010-12-26 05:32 am (UTC)(link)
I guess it depends on whatever the person making the wish truly has inside...

[identity profile] sellhappiness.livejournal.com 2010-12-26 05:49 am (UTC)(link)
And now, for our final item!

[Spins the roulette, but it doesn't seem to lose speed.]

Our final prize is an extremely rare piece, one I'm deeply hurt to part with.

[Takes out a white mask (http://www.nolaimports.com/store/images/unpainted-mensmask.jpg), and shows it to everyone.]

This is a rare blank mask! Extremely difficult to come by, since the maker decided to retire. A mask ready to be painted, but no one has been able to do it!

Ah, to think it could finally reach such a hand! Someone who could end its misery and give it life with the stroke of a brush and the colors of their hearts!

[The roulette stops abruptly...]
