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).

[exeggutorhead]

Ha, if he actually goes under the bed, you should follow him under.

[He laughs, too.]

Inamorato? [He knows what the word means but still. Still, Lust.]

I might just take that advice though, I'm pretty sure your guess is right.

[a_sin_for_him]

Well, 'boyfriend' sounds too juvenile and casual, and you aren't actually married. It seemed the most suiting word.

[She pauses, distracted by her own comments, and curious all of a sudden.]

Would you ever? Get married, I mean.

[exeggutorhead]

Oh, hmm, then I guess it works...

[But oh look at that, she seems to have made him have a miniature heart attack. And nearly choke on his cookie.]

[AT LEAST THE COUGHING GIVES HIM A LITTLE RECOVERY TIME.]

I don't...I haven't really thought about it.

[a_sin_for_him]

That's what people do, isn't it, when they're in love and want a permanent arrangement? Forgive me if I'm overstepping, but the pair of you seem particularly permanent.

[As strange as she'd considered the relationship at first, France was good for Envy. She simply nibbles at her pastry, her expression mildly curious.]

[exeggutorhead]

Well yeah we're permanent, of course we are.

[So long as Johto's disappearing act didn't strike, and Envy hoped that it never would.]

But I mean, it's just a ceremony. You don't need to get married for things to be a permanent arrangement.

And marriage doesn't...seem like my kind of thing.

[a_sin_for_him]

No, it really doesn't. That's why I was curious. I know it's just a ceremony, but it's the symbolism of it all. A public acknowledgement of what's there. It seems...oh, I don't know. Charming.

[She paused.]

Do you know how he feels about marriage?

[exeggutorhead]

[Envy makes, if possible, an even better face than he did when the subject first came up. And then he just looks mildly panicked.]

I don't know.

...do you think I should ask him? What if that makes him think I'm trying to get married?

[a_sin_for_him]

You should make sure you're on the same page. Bring it up in some other context - someone else getting married. See how he reacts and go from there. Or just admit you have no idea what he thinks of it, explain how you feel, that it came up in conversation, and you figured you should find out how you both feel.

[She hadn't meant to distress Envy, but really. If you're with someone that long, in this manner, it's best to cover these things.]

You know, I really can't see any of us married.

['Us' meaning any of the homunculi. Even with human lives now.]

[exeggutorhead]

I...guess I could try that.

[Damn it Lust why do you have to make so much sense. He drops one elbow to the table, resting his chin on it.]

Me either. One time I did have to, but it was the stupidest thing and it wasn't actually real anyway, so I don't think it counts.

[a_sin_for_him]

I was proposed to, once. An honest proposal. Sometimes, I wonder....

[Of course, her mind was too realistic to ever be anything but honest. If she'd done anything differently, the end results would have been the same. Pointless, unfair death.]

But a stupid little part of me still wants all that ridiculous nonsense anyway.

[exeggutorhead]

If you want to, then do it.

[Although if she wants to get married to Scar it might TAKE A GOOD LONG WHILE.]

[a_sin_for_him]

It's not exactly like getting a haircut. For god's sake, who would I even marry? The one man I'm interested in has all the emotional expression and apparent interest of a granite slab.

[exeggutorhead]

That's his problem.

But I didn't mean right now. Just...if you ever get the chance, you should have the most ridiculous nonsense wedding you want.

[a_sin_for_him]

Also mine, all things considered, but I'm sick of this relationship limbo. He's getting an ultimatum and that will be that. Do you think it would be in terrible taste to wear all black, if I ever got married?

[At least she can joke about it. And she'd rather make jokes about some hypothetical fantasy wedding than talk about Scar any more.]

I certainly can't wear white.

[exeggutorhead]

[He nods in approval at the idea of an ultimatum, because really, Scar? But then he accepts the subject change with a smirk.]

Since when have we ever cared about what's in terrible taste?
