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).

[At that, Red only shakes her head with a slight smile.]

I'm not sure about that. Help is a Pokemon I caught. When I first arrived here, I just had Luna, my Electrike at the time. It was storming as well, but I think that might have just been coincidence.

Well, it is certainly good you caught them, then. I am enjoying speaking with you.

I hope I did not offend you.

It's no problem. [She gives a wave of her hand.] People don't seem to be used to things like that here. I'm used to it.

Though I don't believe I've ever been spoken to telepathically, you are certainly not the first person I've met to have no voice. Honestly, my profession forces me to interact with all sorts.

What is it that you do?

The reaping and assessment of souls that have passed.

[...Well. That's sure a job.]

Where do they go afterwards?

That is handled by an entirely different department. I have no say in the matter.

I see... Oh, I hope you don't mind if I ask some questions. [She gives a sheepish smile as the elevator appears in sight.] It just sounds very interesting.

[ William allows Red to step into the elevator first, before following and touching the correct floor button. ]

Of course not. Though, the job is less interesting and more of a headache, in my opinion.

::Then why did you decide to take it up?::

[ A small frown at that. ]

It wasn't my choice.

::...Sorry if I brought up a difficult subject.::

No. The question was just something I've never been asked before. Or contemplated.

Death Gods are simply that - Death Gods. Our purpose is simply, to reap souls.

::I see... I suppose that is simpler, although I'm not sure how well I'd adapt to existing just for one job in particular. At least I got to choose what my profession was, even if people were a bit surprised.::

Lucky I don't have you as one of my workers, then. I'd have to keep a constant eye on you.

[ He's teasing. Which, coming from William is extremely odd. Take it as a compliment - he's comfortable around you. ]

Do you mind if I ask what you profession was?

::I was a singer.::

[She'll wait for the inevitable questions that brings.]

I take it you weren't always without your voice, then?

::That's right. It got taken from me- it's a long story.::

[One she won't be eager to repeat anytime soon.]

Ah. I apologize. I won't pry.

[ He switches the topic so she won't feel as uncomfortable. ]

Have you been in this world for long?

::Yes, since July. It's a bit strange to think I've been here long enough for New Years to be about to pass.::

Apparently, I have been in this world numerous times already. Or so I've been informed.

:Really? It doesn't sound like you remember any of it.::

That is because I don't. But I've been told by numerous people that they've seen me here previously.

::That's a good thing, at least. People who know you can help you settle in. It can be rough when you're just starting on your own.::
