+ Now the Jingle Hop has begun [OPEN] +

[vitaelamorte.livejournal.com]

Who: Everyone [OPEN]
Where The Ballroom
When: December 18th, 6PM-midnight (oocly however long you want to keep logging)
Rating: Well gosh, that really depends on you folks and how you behave, doesn’t it? I’m going to tentatively guess PG-13 though.
Summary: The mansion's decided to throw you all a party out of the goodness of its heart. You know, if it has one. This is the open log for the Jingle Bell Rock portion of the event!
the Story:

Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bells swing and jingle bells ring
Snowing and blowing up bushels of fun
Now the jingle hop has begun

Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bells chime in jingle bell time
Dancing and prancing in Jingle Bell Square
In the frosty air.

What a bright time, it's the right time
To rock the night away
Jingle bell time is a swell time
To go gliding in a one-horse sleigh
Giddy-up jingle horse, pick up your feet
Jingle around the clock
Mix and a-mingle in the jingling feet
That's the jingle bell,
That's the jingle bell,
That's the jingle bell rock.

The ballroom is decorated extravagantly for the occasion, with all of the same sorts garland and holly and lights covering the rest of the mansion, at the moment. There is another tree at the far side of the room as well, though not nearly the size of the one in the front hall, decorated in a very classy white. From the ceiling, fake snow is falling from somewhere that can’t quite be seen, but it does not seem to gather on the floor more than a flake or two.

There are tables with chairs to one side, near a table filled with delicious food and beverages of all kinds, from wine to wassail to eggnog and more. The rest of the space is reserved for dancing.

We could tell you that the mansion is going to force you to dance forever and ever or something, perhaps until your feet fall off, but we won’t. Gosh, you’re all so suspicious. I mean really. The party-goers may wonder at first, some entering very suspicious of the mansion’s intentions, but it will quickly become apparent that for once…for once, it doesn’t seem to be a trap.

So giddy-up, jingle horse, pick up your feet and jingle around the clock. You can even go mix and mingle in the jingling feet. That’s the Jingle Bell Rock!

Kura arrives at the ball, dressed in his imperial robes, all white and carrying the signet of the Empire of Geo.

He looks arouns, slightly bored, but perhaps this can prove amusing.

Rei spots him easily, since he's wearing all white, and stops a short ways away. She waits to see if he sees her, then nods to him slightly.

Oh, Kura is kissing people when he hears a bell :I

[gotyourhair.livejournal.com]

He catched her eye.

"Rei, was it?"

ffff Rei will just go :| at him if he does

[second-first.livejournal.com]

"Yes." She steps closer now that he's acknowledged her.

:I forever

[gotyourhair.livejournal.com]

"We did not expect your presense here."

[second-first.livejournal.com]

"Why?"

[gotyourhair.livejournal.com]

We have not considered you the type to be social. Are you?

[second-first.livejournal.com]

"No."

[gotyourhair.livejournal.com]

"So, you have our answer."

[second-first.livejournal.com]

"Yes." She watches him, not fidgeting at all, even though she isn't used to being dressed this nicely. "It was easiest."

[gotyourhair.livejournal.com]

"Come dance with us then, that is the purpose of this place."

[second-first.livejournal.com]

She sees no reason to refuse. Stepping forward, she offers her hand.

[gotyourhair.livejournal.com]

Despite everything, he is actually a good dancer. He doesn't try anything like groping, but he's not shy about standing close, or touching her to correct her movements if he feels the situation warrants it.

The Medicine Seller appears behind him, not announcing himself.

"Your Majesty... graces us with his presence?"

It is so nice to have that sound like a veiled put-down instead of a come-on.

[gotyourhair.livejournal.com]

"We have come to grace others than yourself."

Hey, remember that time you were hitting on me? *rub rub*

[tadanokusuriuri.livejournal.com]

"How... generous of you."

Which is to say, he doesn't think others than himself will appreciate Kura's presence that much more than him.

[gotyourhair.livejournal.com]

"We did not expect your presence here."

Shouldn't you be acting like a stick in the mud somewhere else?

[tadanokusuriuri.livejournal.com]

"If you had... I shouldn't have come."

The Medicine Seller is never late, Frodo Baggins Kura. Nor is he early. He arrives precisely when he means to... which is often when others want him there the least.

[gotyourhair.livejournal.com]

"We should expect you more often then."

GTFO you cockblocker!

[tadanokusuriuri.livejournal.com]

He said nothing to that, allowing the silence to stretch on uncomfortably long.

[gotyourhair.livejournal.com]

Like he's going to stick arouns for - hey is that bells?

[tadanokusuriuri.livejournal.com]

Sure sounds like it!

The Medicine Seller, entranced by the bells quite literally, smoothly closes the distance between himself and Kura, leaning in for a kiss.

[gotyourhair.livejournal.com]

Kura's eyes glaze over as he is entranced, and he reaches up to run a hand up the man's cheek, closing the short distance between them...

[tadanokusuriuri.livejournal.com]

The Medicine Seller kisses him hard, hands coming to rest on the Emperor's hips lightly.

[gotyourhair.livejournal.com]

Gotta hand it to him, Kura is not shy, and knows aaaaaaallll about passionate kissing.
