Why Don't You Go Where Fashion Sits?
Who: Participants of the Kalosmas New Year's Event!
Where: The Hotel Richissime, in scenic Lumiose City, Kalos!
When: Wednesday, December 31 - Thursday, January 1!
Summary: After all the shenanigans of Hoennween, it's about time everybody had a chance to relax and unwind, courtesy of some actually benign NPCs. With all the luxuries of the Hotel Richissime waiting at their disposal, that shouldn't be too difficult a prospect!
Rating: PG in general; please mark threads that go higher accordingly!

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).

MAIN EVENT INFOPOST | QUESTIONS FOR MODS
no subject
We...we can, if you want to.
[...and if he doesn't mind that he can't really dance, either...]
no subject
For real?! Then let's go!
[Rin could care less if Chihiro had two left feet. He just wants to have fun. For a moment it looks like he's about to grab Chihiro's arm and pull him into the gaggle of dancers.
But he holds out his hand for Chihiro instead.]
You ready? We gotta show those rich guys what real dancing's like~.
[Did that sound cool? Yeah. That sounded cool.]
no subject
[He takes Rin's hand carefully, listening as the more up-tempo song that had been playing shifts into a slower one. That will be a bit easier to dance to, at least.]
no subject
[The change in tune barely makes a bit of difference to him. It's a little too obvious that Rin isn't sure how to hold on to Chihiro's hand as he leads them further away from that safe little niche. Rin makes sure not to wander too far from it, in case Chihiro became nervous or something.
After all, Chihiro didn't want to dance at first, if at all. He'd do whatever he could to make sure his companion wasn't too distraught. ...Even if his dancing was pretty hazardous. Rin pulls Chihiro along in a huge circle and spins around to get some momentum going. Slow song or not, Rin was certain that dancing had to do with spinning.
Eventually he does find some semblance of a rhythm, swaying occasionally in time to the music. He doesn't say much, partially out of embarrassment, partially because there wasn't much he could think to say. Should he watch out for where he steps? Should he be careful of that dress when he tugs Chihiro in for another spin?
It... It really was a nice looking dress. And yeah, if a person wore nice clothes they would look nice too. But that was a given.
He continues to lead the way, a goofy smile firmly planted on his face.]
no subject
I thought you said you couldn't dance?
[He teases lightly after a while as Rin spins him again, still trying to be mindful of where his feet are landing, lest he trip or stumble.]
no subject
Yeah? [How does one graciously accept teasing? Rin looks at an indiscernible spot above Chihiro's head, anywhere other than his face. The poor guy tries not to laugh too much at that little comment.]
What about you, Fujisaki? All your people watching is paying off!
no subject
O-oh, I don't know. I'm just glad I haven't stepped on your foot.
no subject
[-- Whoa, wait, can he take that back? He stutters through his words and does his best to look at anyone and anything other than Chihiro.]
N-Not that being small is bad or anything! My brother is bigger than I am so it's not like I'm -- ... Y-You know...
no subject
N-no....no, it's okay. I understand what you meant.
[And he knows you didn't mean it maliciously. There's...a difference.]
no subject
[If Chihiro was making an effort to look at him and reassure him that all was well, then maybe it was okay to look back. Rin makes eye contact for just a second before quickly looking away again.
The song changes to another easy beat.]
...You wanna dance to this one too?
no subject
[That was a bit awkward, he'll admit...so maybe this would give room for them both to loosen back up again.]
no subject
Really?! [Chihiro, you just might end up regretting this... Rin's far too happy to hear that. It wasn't really a yes, but it wasn't a no either! There's an extra bounce in his step with this dance. He's a little more careful this time as he swings Chihiro around with him. It wouldn't do to accidentally swing his dance partner into a wall.]
I don't mind either - but if you want to stop that's okay too. 'm not gonna hold it against you or anything.
no subject
[And it is very enjoyable, to be honest. Getting past the inevitable awkwardness of it all, they really are just dancing for fun, after all. And it isn't like the other couples are scrutinizing what they are doing...right?]
no subject
It is! You - You really make it look super easy~. Probably 'cause you're wearing a dress and all.
[Since. You know. Dresses don't have pant legs. . . . And pant legs get in the way of dancing . . . ?
Oh yeah there are other people here. Probably watching. Not that Rin is going to notice, right? It's not like it's all that weird for two people to dance together, r-right? Right??!]
no subject
[He looks down at his feet again, blushing a bit more deeply than he had been in the first place.]
no subject
[OH MY GOSH NO. CHIHIRO, DON'T DO THAT!! Rin leans a little closer to Chihiro to try and catch his gaze.]
...hey, what's wrong?
no subject
N-nothing. It's nothing. I, um...I'm getting a bit tired, I guess. That's all.
no subject
Hey, no problem~. We could take a break here, if you aren't feeling too good. It would suck if you got too tired before the fireworks started!
no subject
Mhm. This was fun, though. I'm glad we did it.
[He probably would have just remained a wallflower for the remainder of the dance otherwise, after all.]
no subject
[See, a smile looks much better than a frown. Rin backs up a little more, a silly grin plastered on his face.]
I should go find my brother. He's probably hiding in a corner like you were. ...But -
[that grin of his seems to grow just a little wider] - if there's another dance, we should partner up again!
no subject
[He reaches up to tuck his hair behind his ear again, if only just to give his hands something to do.]
And I...I would like that, Okumura-san.
no subject
You don't have to be so polite, Fujisaki.
[. . . Usually it was super cool to have a respectable honorific follow his name but... --Okay, maybe he was asking for too much. Forget it. He turns on his heel and starts walking away, sparing only a single backward glance.]
I'll see you around!
no subject
Goodbye.
