entrancelogs | + 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!

Kura is not poised, but if anyone is going to be made uncomfortable here, it's the person that's not him.

"We think that you were kissing us and enjoying it, do you have a different recollection?"

"I recall... you being quite... enthusiastic."

Eeeew Grody.... "We don't care for your recollections."

"Likewise.

"...If you'll excuse me." He made to leave. If this sort of thing was going to happen, he was not spending any more time at this absurd social event.

"There's no excuse for you."

He should leave before this happens again. No wait, that would be running... Okay, he just needs a buffer zone of beautiful women so he doesn't kiss an aggravating line-face guy again. Yeah, that works...

It seemed as though there was little more to be said here. The Medicine Seller moved to make his escape--

A bell rang.

Oh, and here he goes kissing an aggravating line face guy again. Intensely and passionately.

Really, at this rate, these two should get a room. I'm sure everyone around them would appreciate it!

It sure is heating up enough to need a room, isn't it?

God yes.

Maybe it's that robe you've got on?

Oh no, silk robes are nice, I can grope you right through it...

Ah, so you can! The Medicine Seller moans softly, pulling Kura closer.

Yeah, this is getting really inappropriate for public and...

Is that a bell?

Son of a BITCH.

Shoving you away hard.

Glaring, oh the glaring.

"Are we just that irresistible to you?"

"One could ask the same of you."

The Medicine Seller isn't big on emotions, but right now, he is having one, and that emotion is squicked.

"We suggest you take yourself elsewhere."

You run, because I'm not gonna...

"...Do you, now?"

The MS goes where he damn well pleases, thank you.

"We do. Why hesitate? Unless you're waiting for the next bell?"

"...Don't flatter yourself."

"In that case, stick around sugar lips."

Okay, he's just going to give up on dignity and go with sadism, that always works well, right?

"So eager?"

This is the lineface to end all linefaces.

Oh no, you are not line-facing your way out of this one!

"It's you who will not leave."

Well, now that Kura is openly aware that this is a contest, it simply wouldn't do to back down.

"Your Majesty hasn't left either," he pointed out, impassive.
