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).

_{[--a notepad? ... OH WELL it's better than nothing, now to esc--]}

--whoah!

_{[Between the bone-club knocking his feet out from under him and the hand grabbing his wrist, Wrath is successfully thrown off-balance and down he goes.]}

Ow!

[wing_attack]

Riley!

[The Cubone huffs and steps back. Tobias looks down and... hasn't he seen this kid before? Somewhere?]

Sorry. Did he hurt you? ... And I'd like it if you gave me my notebook back.

[garbagechild]

<sub>[HE HAS. But where?]

[Wrath gives his head a frantic shake before opening his eyes to peer up at Tobias.]

[Oh. Oh no.]

[BUSTED.]

[He swallows visibly, clutching the notebook like a life raft.]

[Wrath, you don't need that thing. YOU CAN'T EVEN READ.]</sub>

[wing_attack]

[On the one hand, the kid seems distressed. On the other hand...]

Come on. I can give you one if you want, but that one's already got drawings in it. And I worked for a really long time on some of those.

[garbagechild]

_{[Wrath blinks.]}

... Drawings?

_{[Slowly, he sits up.]}

There's not any money in it?

_{[Wrath appears to be dramatically misinformed about what things might contain money and what don't.]}

[wing_attack]

['They're not giving you any money, so what's the point?' He lets out a slow breath, trying not to let pain show on his face, and shakes his head.]

Not really. I don't think you could sell those for much. It's just a hobby.

;-; oh tobias

[garbagechild]

<sub>[Wrath isn't particularly in-tune with the subtleties of human emotion, so how much that question nailed the older boy right in the heart is completely lost on the little Homunculus.]

[He looks down at the notepad.]</sub>

... Oh.... sorry, then...

_{[<8I He's obviously not above stealing but he's not just going to take things that Team Rocket probably wouldn't even want.]}

Can I see the drawings?

_{[Yes, he just TOOK THAT OUT OF TOBIAS'S POCKET and is STILL HOLDING IT and he's asking permission to look at the drawings.]}

[wing_attack]

[Well... at least he apologized...]

... Sure. Open it up.

[When he does, he'll find some sketches of his Pokemon, mostly his Braviary. If he keeps flipping through he'll find some of Jake, Marco, Cassie, and Rachel. A lot of Rachel. There's a few of Ax, too - both in human morph and in Andalite form.]

[garbagechild]

<sub>[Still seated RIGHT THERE ON THE FLOOR where the Cubone knocked him, Wrath proceeds to flip through the book, looking fascinated.]

[Less with the people and more with the animals.]

[The first drawing of Ax he stumbles across gets a gasp and then a laugh. Wrath points to it.]</sub>

That one's funny!

[wing_attack]

[You know what. Sure. He crouches down and grins a little bit.]

Yeah. That's one of my friends back home.

[garbagechild]

Really?

Is he a chimera?

_{[Wrath... really has not quite wrapped his head around the fact that not everybody is from the same world he is.]}

[wing_attack]

He's an Andalite. He's from another planet.

[garbagechild]

Another planet?

_{[Wrath's mind sounds... kind of blown by that. He sort of vaguely knows what planets are but doesn't... really think about them much.]}

[wing_attack]

Yep. Pretty cool, huh?

[The expression on Wrath's face is pretty great to watch.]

[garbagechild]

How'd he GET to where you lived?

Was he really, really small?

_{[... Yeah, at some point someone pointed at the sky and told him 'THOSE BRIGHT LIGHTS UP THERE ARE STARS AND PLANETS' and that's basically all he knows. Those lights are pretty small.]}

[wing_attack]

[To be fair, he'd be correct if he were talking about a different species, but no.]

He's about the size I am. Probably a little taller if you count his eye stalks. But he was on a space ship, which is kind of like an airplane or a ship, but instead of flying in the air or in water, it flies through space.

[garbagechild]

I've seen ships.

I don't know what airplanes are, though.

_{[He tilts his head, puzzling over how something from one of the little lights in the sky could possibly be that big. :I It doesn't make sense.]}

[wing_attack]

Airplanes... they're kind of like ships in the sky. They look kind of like...

[He pulls a pencil out of his pocket and flips to a blank page, drawing a quick outline of a plane. It's not very detailed, but it's at least the basic shape.]

That.

[garbagechild]

Oh.

I've never seen anything like that before.

[wing_attack]

They're the things we came here on.

[garbagechild]

Oh.

... But the one we came on was smooth and not bumpy.

_{[... Wrath, don't insult Tobias's line quality, that's rude.]}

[wing_attack]

... Yeah. I drew that one fast.
