+ 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!

"Well, hey, didn't think I'd see you here."

And he just sounds way, way too pleased.

"Yeah, didn't think I'd be here either." He's pointedly ignoring how pleased Benny sounds. "I left my room like four hours ago and it still found a way to get me here."

What he really wants to say is 'Listen, kid, I'm being Mansion-whammied, so can we have this conversation later?' But that's not what comes out.

"Hey, let's not talk."

His tone suggests that they should do ~other things~ instead.

He leans back juuuuust a little, looking at Benny with a weird little "...wait" sort of look, and then he snorts, stifles the laughter, and nods. "Okay," he replies, hoping to god that there was a reason for that remark besides the painfully and awkwardly obvious. "Sure, I can, uh... wait?" And he looks at Benny as if to say "right? Was I right?"

"If you're sure you can wait~"

He stares at J for a moment, then pivots in the other direction and stands stiffly with his back to him, just long enough to say "Goddammit" before turning back to face him.
