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
NOT X BECAUSE HE IS NOT OLD
He's heard something about having a roommate. Maybe it'll be a good-looking lady. Worst comes to worst, he doesn't have to spend much time in the room anyway. Plenty of other shit to do.
He figures he'll go hit the casino once he feels like it. For now he's just flipping through channels while Steve tries on jewelry in the mirror.
The door handle clicks, and as it opens, he looks up.] Evenin'-
[He gets a good look at who it is.]
You?
[Worst has come to even fucking worse.]
You gotta be fuckin' kidding me.
[He points at the door.]
You got the wrong room, punk.
[Steve barks and waves. Hi, Yusuke!]
HE IS *SO OLD*
The hell I do, old man. Maybe you just read the number on the door wrong. I hear eyesight's one of the first things to go at your age.
[Yusuke's tone is nasty. Meanwhile, Puu gives up on trying to make his grievances heard and flies over to check out the empty bed. What a comfortable pillow!]
OLDER THAN YOU'RE EVER GONNA GET IF YOU DON'T SHUT YOUR FACE
[Of course getting rid of wouldn't be that easy. Since when has Blake ever been that lucky?]
You're gonna have to ask a hell of a lot nicer than that if you wanna come in.
[He rises up on one elbow so he can gesture emphatically.]
No fuckin' smoking, either. And keep quiet and stay on your side, and I might put up with you.
And no turning your damn cloudbird giant again. [He doesn't know how you did that, but there ain't enough room in here for that shit.]
NEENER NEENER NEENER
[Yusuke tosses his bag onto the floor for emphasis, staring at Blake pointedly as it hits the carpet with a satisfyingly loud THUNK. He's not even gonna bother trying to explain to Blake that he hadn't done anything to make Puu swell up like the world's stupidest balloon - in fact, he's not gonna respond to any of Blake's demands. What he will do is kick his shoes off and remove his coat. Screw you, Blake. HE IS GETTING COMFORTABLE WHETHER YOU DAMN WELL LIKE IT OR NOT.
As cranky as he is right now (being tired and burdened with the knowledge that you'll be stuck in the same room as a cantankerous old pain in the ass'll do that to you), there is at least one individual in this room he has a smile for. 'SUP, STEVE. He's just gonna dump his coat onto his bed and come give you some ear rubs. Surely you will not mind.]
Hey, Steve. You have a good flight?
STOP THAT
[He glares at the bag.] Pick that up.
[Steve, meanwhile, is going over to say hello and lean bliddfully into the earrub. She says yes, the flight was quite a new experience, she wasn't afraid though, but she thinks she prefers good old traditional batback. this comes out as Bull snub snub snubbull bull bull.
When it's clear the kid ain't leaving, Blake flops back on the bed, puts his arm over his eyes, and groans.]
It coulda been anybody. Why couldn't it've been some pretty, lonely lady?
MAKE ME
What, you think a pretty lady'd wanna spend the night with a crusty old guy like you? Heh.
[Yusuke snorts and looks away, the corner of his mouth tugging up into a smirk.]
Have to be pretty damn lonely for that.
[Or equally as old and crusty. Gross.]
no subject
Blake, though, is affronted.] Hey, I'll have you know I've gotten plenty of offers.
[He thinks about it and adds,] Sure, a lot were hookers during prostitution stings, but still.
[He sits up and gives Yusuke the surly look of a woken bear.]
You shut your mouth or I'm dumping all your shit out the window.
no subject
[HE SAYS, WITH A SHIT-EATING GRIN THAT MAKES IT BLATANTLY OBVIOUS THAT HE WAS THINKING SOMETHING. Fortunately for Yusuke, all of this attention he's giving Steve has given him a thought, so rather than endanger his belongings by giving Blake crap about the hookers like he probably would've done otherwise, he just changes the subject.]
So uh, hey. Did you get that stuff I sent you?
[He tries to ask this as casually as possible. Maybe if he tries not to sound sheepish as hell about having actually sent Blake halfway decent Christmas gifts this year, he won't catch on to how sheepish he actually is and hassle him about it.]
no subject
Actually, yeah. Those weren't half bad.
[He's been using that mug and those coasters a bunch. The corner of his mouth twitches up.]
Except for the book, you little asshole.
[His posture relaxes some.] You get the movie?
no subject
Yup. "Raging Granbull", right?
[What a stupid title. Still, he grins a little as he folds his arms over his chest and says:]
It was pretty good. I liked all the fight scenes.
[Of course he did.]
no subject
[Steve's happy that they sound like they're getting along. Maybe they'll even behave themselves.
Blake stretches back out on the bed. Screw it, why fight?]
Good to know even a brat can appreciate the classics.
