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).

Miriam.

[Who immediately begins nuzzling the outstretched hand with a quiet purr.

Scar, meanwhile, doesn't know what else to do. So he just continues to sit there.]

[aufsassig]

How precious. Hey, honey.

[It's not that he's a cat person per se, but there's always something about cats in particular that seems to amuse him inexplicably; Miriam is reaping the rewards of that, being the recipient of chin scratches and ear rubbings for her efforts.]

Is that why you're back here? She doesn't like crowds?

[envy_the_sinners]

I prefer the quiet.

[No, no, it's not the cat that's an antisocial grump. She's the one who's more likely to run off and make a friend.]

[aufsassig]

That's no reason to spoil her fun, though. Isn't that right, Miriam?

[WHO'S A FRIENDLY LITTLE PRINCESS YOU ARE]

[envy_the_sinners]

[Miriam shoots Scar a look that clearly says See??]

She'll run off on her own and chase down people if she wants.

[And he'll chase her down, hopefully before she does something embarrassing. That doesn't always work, though.]

[aufsassig]

And you just let her run wild like that? Not that I'm saying she can't take care of herself, but that seems pretty irresponsible to me, as a trainer.

[This guy is clearly on the side of the cat here, what even.]

[envy_the_sinners]

[Scar frowns, his expression actively engaged in this conversation for the first time.]

No, I follow her closely. She isn't a fighter.

[Do not insult his Pokédad abilities.]

[aufsassig]

You say that like you expect her to get into trouble.

[Oh, there we go, now the stranger's taking the bait.

...LET'S THROW SOME MORE OUT THERE AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS]

[envy_the_sinners]

She's only a few months old and she's curious. It's bound to happen at some point.

[Oh god why this]

[aufsassig]

Haha, well, I can understand that. Just be careful you don't start smothering her, though, or she'll never grow up to learn how to take care of herself.

[Why this, indeed.]

[envy_the_sinners]

I'm not smothering her, I'm making sure she doesn't knock glasses off tables or scratch at any ankles.

[So defensive...]
