+ Now the Jingle Hop has begun [OPEN] +

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!

"Oh, come on. That last one smells good! Like millions of 40 year old human virgins crying at the same time! Delicious." She'll rummage for a bit more, find a packet of Skittles, and pocket them. This is a sign that her portion of this mighty quest has ended.

"Alright, it's your turn. Find a costume!" She drags Rei to the closet. This could be one of those TV shows where people are given a short amount of time to make an outfit from a bunch of random junk. YOU HAVE ONE MINUTE.

Rei stands in front of the closet for a moment, then calmly pulls out a lab coat. That isn't actually what morticians wear, but it's simple and doesn't look ridiculous.

[identity profile] turn4bout.livejournal.com 2010-12-19 10:40 pm (UTC)(link)
"No." You thought this would be easy?

[identity profile] second-first.livejournal.com 2010-12-19 10:44 pm (UTC)(link)
"Yes." She puts the lab coat on.

[identity profile] turn4bout.livejournal.com 2010-12-19 10:45 pm (UTC)(link)
"That is way too boring."

[identity profile] second-first.livejournal.com 2010-12-19 10:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Rei thinks for a minute, then retrieves a pair of rimmed glasses from the closet and puts those on too.

Terezi seems to take a few deep moments of concentration before deciding that, yes, this is acceptable.

"Now, time to work on characterization!"

[identity profile] second-first.livejournal.com 2010-12-19 11:16 pm (UTC)(link)
"Characterization." Rei blinks at Terezi through the glasses.

[identity profile] turn4bout.livejournal.com 2010-12-19 11:19 pm (UTC)(link)
"Yeah. Since you're playing a character, you've got to get their personality down."

[identity profile] second-first.livejournal.com 2010-12-19 11:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Rei just doesn't understand the appeal of pretending to be someone else. It's hard enough trying to be herself. She adjusts her glasses slightly.

"Okay."

[identity profile] turn4bout.livejournal.com 2010-12-20 09:03 am (UTC)(link)
"So, what are your motivations?"

[identity profile] second-first.livejournal.com 2010-12-20 09:35 pm (UTC)(link)
"....Solve mysteries." She guesses.

[identity profile] turn4bout.livejournal.com 2010-12-20 09:41 pm (UTC)(link)
"Hahaha! You're getting better at this!" Terezi is so proud. So proud.

[identity profile] second-first.livejournal.com 2010-12-20 10:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Rei isn't so sure, but she nods slightly.

[identity profile] turn4bout.livejournal.com 2010-12-21 07:54 am (UTC)(link)
"Alright, so, how would your character speak? That's another important thing to work out!"

[identity profile] second-first.livejournal.com 2010-12-21 08:01 am (UTC)(link)
"Not much." She pauses, then adds, "She would observe mostly."

[identity profile] turn4bout.livejournal.com 2010-12-21 08:43 am (UTC)(link)
"A little boring, but it works. Especially for your first character." Hold on while she walks around, sniffing. Getting a feel for it. This is just like what I do when someone submits and app to [livejournal.com profile] entranceway.

"You're good. Accepted. Ready to start roleplaying?"

[identity profile] second-first.livejournal.com 2010-12-21 08:55 am (UTC)(link)
Nice to know we're all in capable, competent hands.

Rei does sigh, just slightly, then nods. "Okay."

Fortunately, this won't be difficult, as she's basically created a character who is herself in a lab coat.

"TO THE PARTY!" With the battle cry of William the Troll Conquerer, Terezi drags Rei back to the party. She will be completely IC. She will expect you to be completely IC or else you will receive anonymous complaints.

[identity profile] second-first.livejournal.com 2010-12-21 09:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Rei is immune to anonymous complaints, but she will make a slight effort because Terezi wants her to. She follows the troll back to the party.

Insert montage scene of epic RP proportions here.

So epic it can't be contained in this log.
