Rating: PG-13 (or higher depending how rowdy you guys get)
Summary: IO, SATURNALIA! The party has arrived and it is here to stay for 72 hours straight of good food, gambling, dancing, drinking, singing, and so on and so forth!
The Story:

A few days into Ewaymas, on December 15th, everyone will wake up to a scroll outside their door. This scroll is an invitation to a Saturnalia celebration in two days, and everyone is welcome! If asked for clothing for the party, the closets will provide synthesis – brightly colored Roman robes – for the occasion, but the dress code is mostly just colorful and fun, if you choose to abide by it.

Starting on the 17th there will be a lavish feast in the ballroom, and food and drink are never in short supply. Drunkenness is encouraged, but there will be non-alcoholic beverages as well. There will be tables set up for gambling and dice games, music from a wide variety of worlds (specifically to encourage loud singing along and dancing all night - some are holiday remixes but others aren't), and areas for dancing and playing other games. The decorations are all in a rainbow of bright colors like the synthesis, with suns hanging up and candles floating in the air. Laurels and pileus will be available at the party for everyone to wear on their heads.

It's the kind of party that will get increasingly louder and rowdier...and it literally won't end for three whole days. Those prone to gluttony, greed, or even just escapism will find themselves not wanting to leave the party at all. There's always something to do and you can always just pass out of the floor when you're tired, right? Right! No one knows how to party like the Romans did. At the end of the day on the 19th though, all of the decorations and food will vanish and the party will abruptly come to an end.

Prose or [Action Brackets] are more than welcome, and if you have any questions please send them over to the FAQ thread for the event!

Aww. You can't get to know anyone being all awkward all the time. Unless you're Wirt, and he's so hopeless about it, it's endearing. Also I don't know if he knows anyone besides me, Dipper, and his bird friend. [she plants her hands on her hips. she's an expert on social niceties in Wonderland.]

[rosswood]

Dipper? [Hang a minute.] Kid with the cap and the detective feti - um, interest in spooky stuff, right?

[Hey, look at that. He's already got a mutual acquaintance with someone. And unless he's mistaken, he thinks he knows Wirt and the bird too.

Huh. Small world.

Literally?]

[powerofmabel]

Yeah, he's my twin brother.

[she grins.] I'm not apologizing for him.

[because he's probably said something or done something and her brother has gotta... do his thing.]

[rosswood]

You two are...related. [Okay, he can believe it.] Yeah, he kinda poked around my room a bit.

[He doesn't sound fussed about it, for what it's worth. It's hardly this kid's fault her brother's a mini-Jay wannabe investigator.]

Look at that, we already got mutual acquaintances.

[powerofmabel]

Well, between me and Dipper, we probably know most of the mansion, honestly. [she sticks a hand out.] I'm Mabel.

[rosswood]

Alex. [He takes her hand and shakes it once, as firm as he can despite his slight tipsiness.] Real social kids, aren't you?

[powerofmabel]

Dipper's just trying to figure out everything about Wonderland, and I just want the full Wonderland experience. [she spins around gracelessly, her tulled skirts twirling about her ankles.]

[rosswood]

Parties and all, huh? [Well, it hasn't been so bad. Granted, he'll probably change his mind about that soon. Parties and drinking and the occasional wendigo can't be all there is to this Winter Wonderhell.] So how long've you been here?

[powerofmabel]

Um... [she tries to count on her fingers.] Maybe about six months, I guess. It was before our birthday, but after summer started. Plus we went home for a few weeks somewhere in there.

[rosswood]

So people come and go. [He says it mostly to himself, vaguely unsettled. It's really just proof of what has already been implied, but this more or less confirms that.

Goody.]

And, lemme guess, you don't remember a lot of it?

[powerofmabel]

I remember being home, but when we got there, it was like... Wonderland never even happened, and then we came back, we remembered everything. Weird, huh?

[pretty sneaky, wonderland]

[rosswood]

Yeah. Really. [He says it kind of darkly, and nods to himself. Hmm. Time to file that one away along with 'things to be investigated later'.]

Thanks. [He turns to go because, well, he's pried all the information he wants to out of this kid, which means that now it's time to make his stealthy escape before any dancing resumes.]

[powerofmabel]

[Mabel beams and waves after him.] Bye! Nice meeting you! Don't forget to have fun!

[rosswood]

Yeah, you, uh, you too, champ. [He waves with markedly less enthusiasm, but can't help the vague half-smile. She's just so genuine.]

See ya. [A. Kralie OUT.]
