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! ]

[ Jessica initially tenses at the contact, half from still being jumpy in general, half because she didn't expect it. But gradually, she relaxes, shutting her eyes. ]

I'm sorry for bein' so dumb. About a lot of things.

[ For so long, she's wanted to deny that Claire could ever care about her, truly love her. Seventeen fucked up years with her parents had tainted her mind--something she figured would continue for an actual eternity, considering how her surrogate dead dad turned out to be. Yet, after the last few weeks...she was tired of fighting, denying herself something she'd always yearned for.

Hesitantly, her arms come up and wrap around Claire. She makes her feel warm, and the real love coming through their bond gives her even more comfort. Finally, she allows herself to give in to it, more than she expects to. ]


I love you too, mama.

You aren't dumb, Jessica.

[ Claire kisses her temple, moved, touched, and not bringing attention to the endearment because it should feel normal. She wants it to feel normal to Jessica. Pulling back, she keeps arm around her shoulders. ]

Come on, let's try to make something crafty, shall we? See if I've properly earned my rights as a mother.

[ All moms can craft, it's mom law or something. ]
