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).

Scar finally stood up slowly.

"What kind of Pokémon is Pipsqueak?" He thought he heard the name right, at least. He could tell Wrath was trying to find an excuse to leave, but he was going to avoid that, if he could. He would just get grabbed, again.

[garbagechild]

"He's, um, blue and has wings and big ears, but no eyes."

Not making eye contact with either of them, Wrath lifted his hands to indicate the size of something only a few inches long.

"And he's small."


Wrath is describing a Zubat.

Wrath apparently has not been learning much about Pokemon species names.

[a_sin_for_him]

"He's a Zubat," Lust cleared up, just in case. "I'm sure he's not far."

She paused a moment, eyeing Wrath and very pointedly ignoring Scar. He'd been going through coat pockets, the guard said. Looking for money, she supposed. He was a barely socialized small child, it wasn't as though he had many money making opportunities.

With a faint frown, she reached into her clutch and withdrew her wallet. She'd only had money at first because of Envy and France, after all. She thrust a wad of bills amounting to P5000 at Wrath. That should take care of him for a little while.

"Here. Don't go stealing out of coat pockets anymore, alright?"

[envy_the_sinners]

Scar raised his eyebrows when Lust handed Wrath a chunk of money. He wasn't certain that that was the best idea, but he was also still largely ignorant of the situation. That boy needed somebody looking after him, and he somehow doubted that that person would be Lust or any of the other homunculi.

Instead, he wandered a short distance, looking under the balconies and wall trimmings for a hiding Zubat.

[garbagechild]

When Lust shoved the money at him, Wrath actually just blinked, staring at it like he had no idea what it was.

"... I-.... I don't want your money!" he stammered after a second.

The very concept of money was so foreign to him that he had no personal investment in it (even if Ralph's warning that he'd need it here occasionally surfaced in the back of his mind)-- all the stealing he'd done tonight had been for one thing and one thing only: to prove to his NEW team that he could be useful.

It didn't occur to him that Lust might REASONABLY ASSUME that he was stealing out of desperation to stay fed or something, so he just stared up at her in total confusion, not daring to reach out and take the wad of bills.

HE HADN'T TRIED TO PICK HER POCKETS TONIGHT FOR A REASON. He was scared it might backfire. He was scared any face-to-face confrontation with her might backfire, although he hadn't done a very good job of avoiding those tonight.


As for Pipsqueak, there was no sign of him-- he was probably inside somewhere, maybe even in the coatroom where Wrath had been caught by the guards.
