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).

Oh it's almost entirely based on who's there with you. A friend or two can make the entire evening.

[paopuprincess]

Then I'm glad I have my best friends with me.

[She's not usually so sappy, but she's too tired to be witty right now.]

[dressofheaven]

Me too, Kairi.

[She squirms a little closer, the better to put an arm around her.]

Me too.

[paopuprincess]

[Oh, hi Ilya. Kairi rolls onto her side and sets her head in her lap.]

I guess it's kind of bad, for a princess to not like balls and stuff.

[dressofheaven]

Mmmm, you could ask Saber about it, but I think that's actually more common than you might think. Balls are usually about social ladder climbing and such, which is something a princess doesn't really need to worry about most of the time.

[Now, Disney princesses... actually most of them would probably find a ball really boring too. It's mostly just Cinderella who liked it.]

[paopuprincess]

[Oh good, she's normal after all.]

I've just never liked big dresses or acting all snooty. I don't want to be treated special.

[Which is one of the things she likes most about Riku and Sora. She was just part of the gang. Though, she was not immune to being sheltered and protected by them either. Those dorks.]

[dressofheaven]

Oh but you are special. I don't really think it has anything to do with you being a princess though.

[paopuprincess]

[Her cheeks darken.]

Y-yeah, yeah. One of seven, pure from darkness, open the door, blah blah.

[The life of a maguffin.]

[dressofheaven]

I just told you, it doesn't have anything to do with that.

[Pokes her nose playfully.]

You should listen better.

[paopuprincess]

[Her eyes snap open as her nose is poked.]

Hey!

[Pout.]

[dressofheaven]

What? If you're not going to listen properly I have to do something to get you to pay attention to me.

[This is the smile of complete innocence. It is a filthy lie of an expression.]

[paopuprincess]

Sorry, sorry.

[She yawns.]

But... thanks, it's nice having someone to talk to about stuff like this.

[dressofheaven]

You can talk to me about anything. I thought you'd know that by now.

[paopuprincess]

Yeah, I do.

[She shifts, looking for a comfy position.]

It's kinda weird, but I've never really had girl friends before, or at least any I've felt so close to.

[dressofheaven]

Just Riku and Sora? I'd feel bad for you, but to be honest I've never really had any friends at all until I came here.

[She really shouldn't be smiling when she says that... It's a bit more brittle looking than her usual ones.]

[paopuprincess]

Yeah, y'know...

[She loves them, really, but sometimes it's nice to be something other than one of the guys.]

Really? But you're so nice.

[dressofheaven]

[She doesn't respond to that for a moment, considering how to answer.]

I didn't... really have much of a chance. My family always kept me in the castle. I didn't really have anyone around who wasn't a servant or a member of the family.

[paopuprincess]

Well that's dumb. [To be put bluntly.]

I'm glad you got to see the world now, at least.

[dressofheaven]

So am I.

[Really, what else is there to say to that? She smiles fondly.]

There's a lot of stuff out here I'm glad I get to see.

[paopuprincess]

And I got a new best friend. [Said through a yawn.]

Everybody wins.

[dressofheaven]

Yeah.

[She yawns herself, Kairi's tiredness finally proving catching.]

Yeah, we really do.

[paopuprincess]

Don't fall asleep. We still need to find Xion.

[Said as she tightens her hold on Ilya's waist.]

Maybe in the morning we can all go shopping before we go home.

[Maybe she'll even let Ilya pick out some clothes for her. It might not be bad to be a girl every once in a while.]

[dressofheaven]

Ah, you're right... that girl's being a bit of a bother isn't she?

[There's only a little bit of annoyance in her voice though.]

I like that idea, though. There are plenty of things to try. I'm sure I can find something for you and her.

[paopuprincess]

I think Xion would like lots of frills.

[Smile.]

[dressofheaven]

Careful, Kairi. If you keep pushing like that, even she might end up pushing back.

[She's smirking, though.]
