Why Don't You Go Where Fashion Sits?
Who: Participants of the Kalosmas New Year's Event!
Where: The Hotel Richissime, in scenic Lumiose City, Kalos!
When: Wednesday, December 31 - Thursday, January 1!
Summary: After all the shenanigans of Hoennween, it's about time everybody had a chance to relax and unwind, courtesy of some actually benign NPCs. With all the luxuries of the Hotel Richissime waiting at their disposal, that shouldn't be too difficult a prospect!
Rating: PG in general; please mark threads that go higher accordingly!

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).

MAIN EVENT INFOPOST | QUESTIONS FOR MODS
no subject
[They're out on the floor, surrounded by enough people to make them nowhere near the center of attention but not so many that they're pressed in on any side. Ilya's eyes sparkle with amusement, the more so as Labrys was so easily pulled around when she has the strength you'd expect from a twelve year old.]
Come on, this is an easy one. If you can't even do this, what's the point of being at a dance?
no subject
a very good point and one Labrys can't really rebutt, so instead she just continues to splutter in protest in the hopes that might get this frighteningly pushy girl to relent. she's just too swept up in the whole momentum to do any real protesting, and she has a horrible feeling that she's not going to be getting out of this. ]
But I can't dance! If you wanna make an ass outta yourself, fine, but why ya draggin' me into it?!
no subject
[She pulls Labrys into position, and turns to face her with a cheerful grin.]
Just follow along and let me lead you. You can't go wrong!
no subject
yep that's definitely looking like the direction this is going
She sighs, but she sounds more resigned than irritated -- she's not getting out of this so she may as well just go with it. ]
Fine! But if I fall over an' break my ankle, I'm holdin' ya to it!
no subject
[And as the band strikes up, she begins to slowly but firmly guide Labrys through the steps. It's a pretty standard two-step, not hard at all, which is of course why Ilya picked it to snap up a newcomer.]
My name is Ilyasviel, by the way. Ilyasviel von Einzbern. But Ilya is fine.
no subject
thank god for that nickname though because she was pretty clearly rolling the name over in her head and trying to work out how to imitate it. It sounds foreign -- it's pretty. ]
Il-- Ilya-chan, then, yeah?
[ that's such a cute little name whoa ]
Uh-- I'm Labrys.
no subject
Ah, so you are Japanese. Yes, you can go ahead and call me that. It's nice to meet you, Labrys.
[And pivot and backstep and sidestep and twirl...]
See, this isn't so bad, now is it?
no subject
[ and despite her misgivings, this girl is right -- now that they're actually dancing and it's clear that they're not the center of everyone's attention, this... isn't so bad. In fact, it's almost kind of fun.
Of course, it helps that Illya is leading and clearly knows what he's doing, but still. ]
I guess it's not like... as bad as I was expectin' or anythin'. You know what you're doin' at least.
no subject
Of course, that reaction is pretty much the main reason Ilya picked her out in the first place.]
Given how dead set against this you were to begin with, I'll take that as high praise.
no subject
W--well, no, I wasn't dead set or anythin' -- I just-- I didn't wanna look dumb in front of everyone! An' if I'd look dumb in front of everyone, then you would too, right?
no subject
[Well, you can't fault her confidence...]
no subject
... S--so why'd ya pick me out, anyway? For dancin', I mean. There's gotta be a bunch of other people who'd wanna dance with you, so why me?
no subject
[She twirls around and gives her a playful grin.]
But as for "why you"... well, you looked like you could use a little help having a bit of fun.
no subject
... Did I really look that much of a sadsack?
[ yes, labrys, yes you did ]
no subject
[Well, one can't fault her directness.]
At the very least you were clearly out of your element.
no subject
[ sweat sweat ]
I mean -- I ain't a dancer like I said, but-- y--yeah I guess I was really obvious about it.
But-- but you're pretty good...!
no subject
[She doesn't even bother to hide the ego in her smirk, but then, she sees no need to.]
Put in enough time and effort, and you might be able to say the same.
no subject
[ why is this tiny little child making her feel like she's about three inches tall ]
Y--y'really think there's anyone 'n this place who'd teach this kinda thing? I mean, kinda seems like everyone's stuck on Pokemon and not much else, y'know?
no subject
