A FEW OTHER SETTING NOTES:

• At the moment, this log spans the entirety of the New Year's Eve plot, so starters may be posted for any time on either day of the event. If things start getting massive and it looks like an overflow log will be necessary, we'll definitely see about putting one up, and will link it to this one if need be.

• The Event Itinerary can be found here! Remember that participating in this course of events is not mandatory, but it's what will be going on in the grand scheme of things over the course of the event.

• All event participants are being housed on the fourth and fifth floors of the hotel. Your bedrooms are laid out like this; if you participated in our IC Rooming Roulette, you can find your buddy on this table here!

• Most activities here will be free! ICly, your characters will use their room cards to "pay" for most things, and the charges will be applied to their room (which of course, they are not paying for personally). Gift shops, parts of the casino, and food not provided as part of the event are not chargeable to your rooms and characters will have to use their own money in those locations.

• Underage characters may use the casino; however, they may be subject to some social scrutiny and side-eyeing in the event that they attempt to get in on one of the high-roller tables.

A NOTE ABOUT USING THREADS ON THIS LOG FOR AC:

Because of how our AC period works (the grace week into January still counting toward December), all threads on this log are valid toward December's AC, regardless of timestamp! However, because the log technically spans two different months and we want to encourage tagging out on it, we have also made this decision:

On this log and this log alone, comment threads timestamped in January (OOCly) that reach AC-length may be used towards January's AC, as well. Therefore, if a thread on this log reaches AC length with 10+ comments timestamped in January, you can use it toward January's AC (assuming the same thread has not already been used to satisfy December's AC).

fireworks

[It is... slightly disconcerting, the way Cynthia is sitting there, staring blankly at the fireworks. Scar has seen her over the past several hours, buzzing around the hotel like a madwoman. Perhaps it's caught up with her.]

Cynthia?

[Scar looms over her with a small frown.]

[ajustcaws]

[...she continues staring for a second before jerking a bit and turning over to Scar quickly.]

Ah! I'm awake! I'm awake!

[envy_the_sinners]

[Scar raises his eyebrows.]

You should go get some sleep.

[ajustcaws]

...but these are awesome! I'm not gonna miss this just because I'm kind of sleepy! I can tough it out or my name isn't Cynthia, Whooper of Behinds!

[SICK

POSE

...at least she seems a little more awake.]

[envy_the_sinners]

[And that is definitely her title, he is certain.]

There is a difference between "kind of sleepy" and nodding off in the middle of a series of explosions...

[He isn't sure why he's mildly debating this, but at least he's stopping to watch with her.]

[ajustcaws]

They're not exploding right here, so it's fine!

[logic]

Besides, I'm not standing near the edge of the balcony or anything! It's just... been a longer day than most days! Why did it take so long for the sun to go down...

[envy_the_sinners]

[Scar opens his mouth to speak, but honestly can't anything to properly respond with.]

It... has been a long day, yes.

[He isn't sure if she's speaking literally or figuratively, but... it may be best to just not ask.]

[ajustcaws]

[WHAT THE FUCK ARE TIMEZONES.]

Really... I don't get it! Does time have no meaning on airplanes?

[envy_the_sinners]

[...Literally it is.]

It's because the plane travels so quickly. We "follow" the sun.

[That's the simplest way he can put his understanding of it. It makes sense, Scar had just never even imagined something like that being possible before coming here.]

[ajustcaws]

Oh!

[She nods.]

Ohhhh. That makes sense. Geez, that is really super incredibly fast....

[envy_the_sinners]

It is. I'm guessing there is nothing like that in your world, either?

[Scar imagines there might be, in his, if Amestrians weren't so obsessively preoccupied with alchemy.

That's what he likes to think, anyway.]

[ajustcaws]

Nope, not at all! I mean, there were different kinds of animals we could fly on, but they didn't go anywhere near as fast.

[because they would probably, idk, die or something]

[envy_the_sinners]

You flew on animals at home, as well?

Did they have abilities like Pokémon?

[ajustcaws]

Nope! They were big enough to fly with people on them, and that's about it.

...well, I mean, there are horse and dragon Pokemon, but they've usually got something else special about them here.

[envy_the_sinners]

Dragons are real, where you're from?

[Scar has come to see this world as some kind of exception to the line between reality and fairy tale.

But then, leave it to Cynthia to come from a place where dragons are real.]
