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).

<sub>[WHY THANK YOU, HE WILL!]

[Unable to wipe the giddy grin of I'm being sneaky and IT'S GREAT off his face, Wrath slips up out of the crowd and up to Kayneth's elbow. 'Expertly' would be a little presumptuous to describe how the kid slips his hand into the man's pocket, but he has caught onto the whole pickpocketing thing pretty quick.]

[YOINK. Hand-crafted doohickeys, you have been commandeered in the name of Team Rocket!]</sub>

[enjoymyatelier]

[HE TOTALLY HASN'T NOTICED YET. man you would think that someone who'd had his shit stolen multiple times would have a little more self awareness, but no, he's still BSing. Even his Serperior hasn't noticed yet, although that's probably because he's sipping a glass of champagne instead of paying attention... maybe he'll notice it out of his peripheral vision when Wrath tries to make an escape, but he's too busy being a snooty, fancy snake at the moment.]

[garbagechild]

<sub>[EHHHHH, who can blame him? It's a hoppin' party and there's champagne and music and lots of people stuffed into alarmingly fancy outfits. This place is full of distractions, and that's why Wrath is having his first mission here as opposed to... who knows, the underground Marketplace in Goldenrod or something.]

[Hands full of pilfered goodies, Wrath proceeds to make his SNEAKY GETAWAY, creeping back into the crowd and stepping over the Serperior's tail...]</sub>

[enjoymyatelier]

[THANKS FOR BEING A SCRUB, WRATH

...fortunately for Kayneth and unfortunately for Wrath, the Serperior moves his tail at just that exact second because he's considering slithering over for more fancy champagne... and it's now more of a tripping hazard!

...or a stepping on hazard.

Either way this is very likely to get stupid within the next couple of seconds.]

[garbagechild]

<sub>[It turns out it's a stepping-on-AND-tripping-on hazard, because when you're looking around to make sure nobody's watching you, you're not looking at the GROUND to see where your feet might be going.]

[Wrath's foot, clad in a shiny black dress shoe that he's not used to wearing at ALL, comes straight down on the Serperior's tail. And in the shock of stepping on something he thought he'd stepped over... yeah. Down he goes.]</sub>

W-whOA!!

[enjoymyatelier]

[The Serperior lets out an undignified half hiss, half squawk, flailing a bit and getting champagne all over everything, including Kayneth as he turns around...]

Oh, really?!

[...Cezanne can do no wrong in Kayneth's eyes, so he turns his glare to the boy.]

Are you blind? He's bright green and not particularly difficult to miss.

[garbagechild]

_{[Letting out a gasp, Wrath cringes there on the floor, immediately putting his trinket-laden hands behind him and out of view.]}

--I... sorry, I...

[enjoymyatelier]

[GOOD THING KAYNETH HASN'T NOTICED! ...and neither has the Serperior, who is also turned around to give a very judgmental glare.]

...Right, well, keep it in mind going forward. If it happens again, I'm going to be even more cross.

[garbagechild]

<sub>[Wrath at least has the decency to quail before the twin glares. If nothing else, it's sort of a survival mechanism. If he looks SUPER PITIFUL, he probably totally didn't steal anything.]

[He nods fiercely, gulping.]</sub>

Y- ... yes mister-- I mean, sir-- I mean...!

[enjoymyatelier]

...yes, well, whatever.

[...deciding that was enough of a talking to, he turns a bit.]

Off you go, then, I suppose.

[garbagechild]

<sub>[Wrath needs no further urging.]

[He scampers off, only stopping once safely out of view to take a closer look at what trinkets he was able to obtain.]</sub>
