+ 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!

The Medicine Seller bowed low.

"...My mistake," he apologized. "Then... which name do you prefer?"

Japan didn't expect the man to bow so low.

"A-Ah it is all right! I am called Yamato by most."

"Then... it is a pleasure to meet you, Yamato-san."

It was rare that the Medicine Seller meant that, but he really did.

"It is a pleasure to meet you as well...ah.... ...I am sorry, may I ask for your name?"

"I am... a simple medicine seller." That was answer enough, for him. Granted, the intricacy of his clothing didn't really suit the position of a wandering merchant, but most people were too polite to question it too much.

A medicine seller. Japan could guess what the person was although he didn't have that specific job yet in his time.

"Then it is nice to meet you, Medicine Seller-san. Have you come to sell medicine to the master of this house?"

The exorcist smiled at his nation. "...Indeed I have." It was as good a story as any.

"I have heard the master of the house was a scary lady. But I did not know she was sick as well...Is that why she does not show herself?"

"The Queen of this mansion... is secretive."

[identity profile] alwaysrec.livejournal.com 2010-12-22 09:41 pm (UTC)(link)
"She is a Queen? Then is this her country?"

If this was a country, then Japan should find the country and say his greetings, or else the other could take it wrong. And Japan honestly wasn't sure if he could win against a strong nation yet.

"Not one like you... to my knowledge." And his knowledge tended to be as comprehensive as he could make it.

"...I see. How strange."

He had yet to see a land without a country. But then again, as Tang put it, he was a young country and there was still much about the world he hasn't known.

"May I ask what this...gathering is?"

[identity profile] tadanokusuriuri.livejournal.com 2010-12-25 04:48 am (UTC)(link)
The Medicine Seller considered, for a long moment.

"...I don't know."

[identity profile] alwaysrec.livejournal.com 2010-12-25 05:17 am (UTC)(link)
"You...do not? But you are here?"

[identity profile] tadanokusuriuri.livejournal.com 2010-12-26 02:47 am (UTC)(link)
"So are you." And Japan-- Yamato didn't seem to have any better an idea about their situation than he did.

"I.... ...Yes, you are right. I suppose we are the same then," Japan said, agreeing to the Medicine Seller with a small smile.

[identity profile] tadanokusuriuri.livejournal.com 2010-12-26 07:10 am (UTC)(link)
The Medicine Seller nodded, once, with a hint of a smile of his own. "So it appears," he agreed.

Japan looked at the ball room once more, scanning the people here.

"What are all the people here? There are unlike any I have ever seen."

[identity profile] tadanokusuriuri.livejournal.com 2010-12-26 07:41 am (UTC)(link)
He nodded slightly. "They are... from far away, mostly. And many... from other times."
