Who: Juliet O'Hara + You
Where: Juliet's room
When: December 1st-4th
Rating: PG
Summary: Juliet is getting into the Christmas spirit early by hosting a little get-together at her place. Network video and party post below the cut!
The Story:

[ ✹ .002 [ video ] ]

Happy December, Wonderland!

[ Juliet offers a brilliant, if somewhat strained, smile to the network. The camera isn't directly aimed at her face at first--she's still getting used to video chatting--but she reaches out to adjust it quickly before continuing. ]

I know not everyone here celebrates Christmas or... Even knows what Christmas is, but! In the O'Hara household, Christmas is a big deal. I mean, I really big deal. All my family comes in and there are games, and arts and crafts, and a ton of food...

[ People probably get the idea, Juliet. ]

So! I know things always get really crazy during the holidays anyway and I wanted to get on top of things so I'm having a little pre-Christmas get together at my place. So whether or I know you or not, come by room three on the seventh floor anytime over the next few days and I promise we'll have a lot of fun. Open door policy.

[ She pauses. ]

Not literally. Knock first.

[ room 3, level 7 ]

Juliet has gone all-out for the holidays, as an O'Hara is wont to do. With no financial limits and no job to distract her, she's put everything into decorating her place. Anyone walking past room three on the seventh floor will be greeted immediately with an timely wreath and equally festive doormat.

The decorations don't stop there. Juliet has decked the halls to the point that they are bursting, having even extended her living room quite a bit to accommodate food, fun, and hopefully a lot of guests. Every wall is decorated with some kind of garland, wreath, or lights. She's even got a sprig of mistletoe hanging in the corner for any couples who visit that might be so inclined.

And, of course, there is the the Christmas tree in the corner of the living room.

Anyone who visits will also be greeted by an unimaginable spread of food from cookies, cakes, and various snacks to some traditional Scottish fare like mince pies. There's another corner table dedicated to just Christmas crafts, from cutting out paper snowflakes to sewing Holiday themed pajamas.

Maybe it's a little early to go full out, but Juliet couldn't wait. Christmas is her favorite time of year and she hopes that getting to it early will help her miss her family less - and maybe help her find a new family in Wonderland.

[ This is a party/mingle post! Feel free to top level and tag out with other people, or just thread with Juliet, or just respond to her network post if you so desire. Have fun and get into the holiday spirit before shit goes down! ]

[Gren's here because underneath it all he has a good heart and his friends want him here- so he comes, for them. He's not really enjoying himself though. He rolls his eyes at this display because wow, Shawn, but a smirk crosses his face all the same.]

You're gonna make her cry, Shawn, don't do that. It'd be like kicking a puppy.

[And, because knowing Gren leads to strange new things:]

You know Santa's one of us? A Fable, I mean.
soupcansam: (don't have any proof)

Good tears are okay though, right?

[ Right??? What does he even know and also what does Grendel even know? Blind leading the blind, here. He's reaching into his bag to get a present for Gren that isn't a pineapple and then pauses. ]

Wait, seriously? I thought he was a fake dude made up to get children to not act like hellions for one month a year.
oneagainstall: (Their grass is getting greener each day)

[personal profile] oneagainstall 2018-12-05 11:07 pm (UTC)(link)
I guess those are okay.

[He nods. Dead serious.]

Exactly. That's what we all are, y'know, people who's stories get told to kids in the mundy, hell, it's the stories that give us power. Just about every kid ever knows who the fuck Santa is, no matter if they celebrate Christmas or not. He's one of the most powerful Fables there is. He's a nice guy. Give a shit about people.

Maybe my dad's originally from your world.

[ Because every kid he knows avoided him to avoid Henry. Except Gus. Gus was the only one willing to stand by Shawn. ]

At least Santa really does use his powers or whatever for good. I always believed in him, totally.

[ Shawn did not. ]
oneagainstall: (To keep us trapped in greed)

[personal profile] oneagainstall 2018-12-07 11:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah? That bad, huh?

[Shawn doesn't talk about his past a lot, and Gren's never been one to pry. He figures if people want to tell him about themselves, they'll chose to do it themselves, or not at all.]

Uh huh. And yeah. Personally, I think he does it for all the fuckin' cookies, but it's probably for the whole...happiness of children thing or whatever.

Not great.

[ And so he'll leave it at that because no, he really doesn't want to talk about his dad right now. ]

I never got the whole kids come first deal, personally. Especially when it comes to food. Thanksgiving? 'Let the kids eat first.' For what? Are we on a sinking ship and the food is going down? Sure, okay, kids first.
oneagainstall: (They got all the right friends)

[personal profile] oneagainstall 2018-12-14 12:31 am (UTC)(link)
Well, shit.

[Which is, of course, a heartfelt offer of sympathy. Sorry you had a shitty time of it, buddy.]

I don't fuckin' know. Pretty sure it wasn't always that way, but I didn't pay a lotta attention to it, so I might be wrong. It was one of those weird fuckin' mundy holidays and we didn't really involve ourselves. We had Remembrance Day and that's all we gave a shit about.

But I guess they put kids first because they're the next generation or...some shit.

That's honestly the dumbest thing I've ever heard in my life.

[ Shawn stands by it. But moving on. ]

What'd you get Misty for Christmas?
oneagainstall: (Gentlemen time please)

[personal profile] oneagainstall 2018-12-18 02:42 am (UTC)(link)
[FUCK THE KIDS.

He wasn't expecting the question and it gives him enough time to pause.
]

Um. Shit. I don't know? Maybe a new shawl? She lost her favourite one when the fuckin' acid rats showed up.
soupcansam: (42)

[personal profile] soupcansam 2018-12-18 07:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Ooooh, she does love shawls. I got a Stevie Nicks thing. Art or something. Oh, and a hoodie thing since it's cold now.

[ His gifts weren't thoughtless; at least he knows what she likes. ]
oneagainstall: (That need to be loved)

[personal profile] oneagainstall 2018-12-18 10:32 pm (UTC)(link)
She does, she likes to do the whole...twirly thing with them.

[He waves his hand in a slow circle. To show the twirling. He's not actually going to twirl himself.]

Huh, that's pretty nice. I'm sure she'll love 'em.
soupcansam: (to the same)

[personal profile] soupcansam 2018-12-24 03:20 pm (UTC)(link)
[ That's okay, he's got this, and Shawn does his best loving impression of Misty. ]

Oh! Get her a top hat! I'm pretty sure she likes those too? Maybe with a flower on it.
oneagainstall: (Of beautiful hearts)

[personal profile] oneagainstall 2018-12-25 12:31 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah...just like that.

[Shawn, you are a gentleman and a scholar, you get the most unenthusiastic of thumbs-up.]

...You know, that ain't a bad idea. I can probably like...get one outta the closet or some shit.
