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).

[And then there's this little shit coming along with a Houndoom. Maka notices Scar first and raises her hand in greeting.]

Mr. Scar! [She's way too comfortable with approaching a giant man stuffed like a sausage into a suit.] How are you? This place is easy to get swept up in, isn't it?

[envy_the_sinners]

Hence my staying back here.

[It's the most talkative he's been all night, but it's always easiest, with Maka. He doesn't know why he's never told her simply to call him Scar, but... he doesn't mind the Mr.]

Miriam is bound to tear someone's dress or get stepped on, otherwise.

[He reaches for the Skitty, gently patting the top of her head.]

[soundmind]

Oh?

[That doesn't seem true, Miriam looks like a very well-behaved little Skitty. But questioning adults openly isn't reeeeeally a habit Maka wants to get into, besides--Scar's never done anything to annoy her or make life difficult, he doesn't deserve getting called out.]

Do you mind if I stay for a little while, too? Kali and I were just looking for a place to chill out while my Sylveon takes the Pokemon I hatched up to my room.

[She has an incredibly active life for someone that just wants to be left along a lot.]

[envy_the_sinners]

[Oh sure, she's behaved now. Scar shakes his head.]

I don't mind.

[Parties aren't exactly his thing. He's spent the majority of the night just off to the side. At least he tried.]

[soundmind]

[Kali takes the cue, circling around and curling up in an appropriate space close to Maka while she settles in herself.

Both are probably uncomfortably close to Scar, like he's a friend or something.]

You look nice all dressed up, Mr. Scar, I bet a lot of people have been asking you to dance.

[envy_the_sinners]

[He can handle uncomfortably close Pokémon. Just not people.

He also doesn't know how to handle complements.]

They haven't.

[Which he is glad for.]

[soundmind]

Ah.

[A pause.]

I don't like dancing or putting myself out there much either.

[Maka, you just assumed that, you can't assume things accurately from a person's demeanor anymore, you don't have soul perception!]

[envy_the_sinners]

It hardly has a point, anyway.

[At least Maka assumed correctly. Scar picks up Miriam and rests her in his lap, where she happily curls up.]

The change of atmosphere is welcome, though.

[soundmind]

It's very pretty here, too bad we can't come to this place more often.

[Kali looks up at her and Maka realizes "this place" sounds a little vague, so--]

I mean Kalos in general, not this hotel. I doubt any of us would be able to afford staying at this hotel in a million years.

[envy_the_sinners]

Hm. For such a lax world, one would think that they would be more lenient about when people traveled and where.

[Scar doesn't understand how Pokeworld functions. Al all.]
