Kaneda put on a Santa hat, and Signed up for the White Elephant Gift Exchange. he then went to drink the White Drink
Robin went to have his Picture Taken with Santa. He wanted to learn the True Meaning of Christmas. Aaron, who had converted to Catholicism while under the Illusion, had taught him one, now he wanted to learn the Rampant Commercialism meaning. He waited in line.
Leah noticed Morgan. "Morgan! What are you doing here?" She asked, with a small smile.
"WWWWWEEEEEE~! HI, LEAH~!" Morgan shouted enthusiastically, waving with one hand as she continued to swing about from decoration to decoration, "DID IO-CHAN COME WITH YOU? IF SO, I DEFINITELY NEED TO GET HER IN ON THIS~!"
Fantasy, Sci-Fi, Alt History, Anything really. It honestly depends on how I'm feeling. I am always up for a good, solid Cyberpunk RP. I'm also up for Crossover RPs.
"WWWWWEEEEEE~! HI, LEAH~!" Morgan shouted enthusiastically, waving with one hand as she continued to swing about from decoration to decoration, "DID IO-CHAN COME WITH YOU? IF SO, I DEFINITELY NEED TO GET HER IN ON THIS~!"
Sora giggled at the two swinging from the decorations while she stood around and looked around before noticing a dog not to far away. With a grin the girl ran over and hugged the dog, which just happened to be Repede.
Repede was not impressed.
96neko was dressed up for the occasion. Who knew when they changed but whatever.
And Hiruko was sitting by himself, watching what was going on in slight amusement.
"THEN COME JOIN IN, IO-CHAM~! THE MOsT FUN IS EXPERIENCING IT FOR YOURSELF!" Jumping from one decoration to another with a flip, the tactician cheered her friend on, trying to get her involved. While quite dangerous, the activity didn't seem to scare Morgan in the least.
"Tiny penguin minions and all manner of stupid festive ornaments, how typical, these people celebrate the same stupid rituals we have back home, no doubt all the red clothing and gift giving will commence shortly"
Drakath looked about, almost in distaste, but a small curve at the edge of his mouth betrayed the feelings of nostalgia the place gave him, the Christmas trees, festive ornaments and various other holiday related guff was really starting to bring back fond memories of long winter nights spent with his dad, when he wasn't expecting far too much of his son, he would read him stories at this time of year
He could almost feel regret well up in his chest at the memories, and so he pushed them deep inside, locking them away for now. The Champion of Chaos didn't have feelings like that
He could recall the one time Xing, Xang and the others had forced everyone to don festive outfits...And the slight smile returned, he could afford to enjoy himself, only a little
"OOOOOH, I WONDER WHAT THIS ONE TASTES LIKE" Korosensei murmurs, downing another drink at the potion table, laughing at the wacky things happening to his body
Boy, it was a good thing drinks didn't work the same way on him, huh?
"Pass me one, Teach!" Karma chimes, taking one from the outstretched tentacle that would offer him one, Red, like his hair
"Oh boy" Nagisa watched, slightly worried for Karma's wellbeing
"Oi, Ilona, come down from there, you're not allowed to have fun without me around" came a no doubt familiar voice to the other patrons of the hotel "So, come on down here, and we'll find something fun to do together"
@Klutzy Ninja Kitty@Whoever's interested in any of my poorly RPed characters, I suppose
The Champion of Chaos would hear a quiet grunt from behind him, followed by a familiar, stoic voice.
"Well, who do we have here?"
"Long time no see, tough guy."
There stood Samus Aran, the legend in the flesh, with her suit painted red and green, and a festive hat placed in her helmet's stead. She held a (poorly) wrapped box under her arms, presumably addressed to him.
From the ceiling, the blue-haired Morgan swung down on one of the decorations, screaming with joy as her ride began to arc and swing upwards, "ALL IS GOOD IF IT'S IN THE NAME OF FUN! WE'VE HAD ENOUGH PAIN IN THESE GAMES, IT'S TIME FOR FUN ONES, YOUR MAJESTY!"
"Oi, Ilona, come down from there, you're not allowed to have fun without me around" came a no doubt familiar voice to the other patrons of the hotel "So, come on down here, and we'll find something fun to do together"
Since this just so happened to be the younger version of Ilona, the child didn't recognize Morgan. But hey, the girl looked like a lot of fun so Ilona wasn't against playing with her. "See, Mother, this girl is doing the same thing! It's wonderful fun!"
Queen Elsa was appalled. "Stop, stop this foolishness at once! That's dangerous and you're going to ruin the decorations!" The queen then turned to glare at Leah, Morgan and anyone who happened to be either participating in this silly act or encouraging it. "You're bad examples to my daughter! Stop, immediately!" She glanced to the one voice of reason, with a frown. "Help me stop this somehow. Someone is going to get hurt." So it turns out, a very worrisome queen turned out to be a very worrisome mother.
Ilona swung from decoration to decoration, giggling with glee. "You're good at that!" she complimented Morgan. The child only slowed her antics when she spotted a familiar face--or rather a familiar skeleton.
"Papyrus!" she cried, jumping from the decoration she was on top of in order to land on his shoulders. "By the sun's light, you look different somehow! I can't quite put my finger on it... did you get a new haircut, perhaps?"
"Oh boy... It seems Morgan truly does have that teenage spirit..." Robin muttered as he watched from afar before walking away from his daughter's antics. There wasn't like there was much he could do to stop her anyways, so he felt no regrets as he walked over to Ballroom A and grabbed the green drink, "Well, at least the drinks will be fine..."
Suddenly, you feel as cuddly as a cactus and as charming as an eel. I don't mean to rhyme, but what is the deal? Your skin turns a sickening shade of green. You suddenly feel quite mean. You're looking a little hairy, not to mention scary.
Congrats, you've been turned into a Christmas Grinch!
@The Tactician@Klutzy Ninja Kitty Tucker stood next to the drink table, examining all the different colors. A santa hat sat atop his helmet. "So, like, which of these are alcohol? This isn't a party until I get shit-faced." He picked up a silver drink and looked at it.
You're suddenly blinded by a bright light in your face. Ouch! Where is that coming from? After a minute, you realize the light is actually coming from... you, your own nose to be exact. Oh dang it. You now have a festive, glowing red nose. Oh well, at least its fitting for the season, right?
Congrats, you've been inflicted with the Rudolph curse!
The room begins to shake a little. You look ahead of you, realizing the source of the room vibrating happens to be a stampede of reindeer running in your direction. Apparently, there's something in the drink you just drank that they are attracted to! The deer begin to chase you, unable to stop themselves from knocking you to the ground and stampeding over you. Ouch. When you stand back up and brush yourself off, people can now see hoof prints on your back. Oh, and it appears the deer haven't gone away. They're still attracted to you, following you around and rubbing on you like cats.
Congrats, you've ben inflicted with the reindeer attraction curse!

Similar glee was evident in Morgan's smile as she nodded excitedly, "Comes with my training! When you need to wait for the perfect moment to throw a knife, you start to apply that stuff to other things!"
"Hey, Io-chan, I'm coming down!" Releasing her hold on the decorations, the young woman landed on her feet with grace, a toothy-smile crossing from ear to ear as she looked up at the older girl, "So what do you want to do? That was fun and all, but there's supposed to be some events or something, so maybe we should sign up for them?"
Just pretend Teresa magically wound up in ballroom a or something
The young adult really had no idea what was going on. She'd heard of parties and all, but she hadn't exactly had the chance to go to one before. Besides, sure, she'd heard the word 'Christmas' before.. A long, long time ago. Back when she was still Deedee, and not Teresa Agnes. And she'd heard it from.. Someone she didn't want to think about. But the point was, she'd only heard it - she'd never been told what it was. So, naturally, the Glader was rather confused... Especially when a weird hat somehow ended up being placed on her head by some stranger.
What the hell was going on, anyways?
Regardless, the girl(that some would notice looked exactly like and older Deedee) was obviously lost. That much wasn't hard to pick up. Maybe this was the reason that, for once, she was actually relieved to see Joshua. Surely he'd know what all of this craziness was about, right? ...And even if not, that just meant she'd have yet another thing to tease him about hypocritically. It was a win-win situation, right? So, after annoyedly taking the weird red and white hat off, she casually confronted her boss.
"..Do you happen to know what all of this is about?"
Well, in walked Teresa. Somehow, Joshua wasn't surprised. Everywhere she he was she always seemed to show up, for some reason, even in tumblr roleplays.
"Why, yes, Teresa, I just so happen to know exactly what this little affair is all about. It's a game. Humans decorate their homes, buildings, and public places with beautiful decorations. The goal is to steal as many of them as you can while nobody is looking. At the end of the holiday season, the person who acquires the most items wins."
Suddenly, you feel as cuddly as a cactus and as charming as an eel. I don't mean to rhyme, but what is the deal? Your skin turns a sickening shade of green. You suddenly feel quite mean. You're looking a little hairy, not to mention scary.
Congrats, you've been turned into a Christmas Grinch!
Well, Robin wasn't exactly surprised that his drink would screw him over like this.
"Well, I'd best make the best of this then..." Mister Robin muttered as he adjusted his cloak to fit his new, hopefully temporary, form. Thankfully, the garment managed to fit rather well, and his eyes fell upon a perfect accessory for the occasion.
"Perfect, absolutely perfect!"
After putting on his new hat, robin grabbed one of the large fake candy canes and began humming as he walked around, spinning the cane in a bored way.
"You're a mean one, Mister Robin..."
You can't destroy Mister Robin's Christmas spirit!
The Champion of Chaos would hear a quiet grunt from behind him, followed by a familiar, stoic voice.
"Well, who do we have here?"
"Long time no see, tough guy."
There stood Samus Aran, the legend in the flesh, with her suit painted red and green, and a festive hat placed in her helmet's stead. She held a (poorly) wrapped box under her arms, presumably addressed to him.
"Ah, of course, the Bounty Hunter who seems to have become the object The Overfiend's attention, I suppose you have some desire to speak with him?" Drakath murmurs, his hand opening as a small purple sphere formed, opening what looked like a tear in one of the nearby walls
"I suppose I should wish you merry festivities too" he adds, before giving a nod "I hope you enjoy your day"
It was odd to see a man who was so used to being emotionless in a somewhat good mood
"Oh, fancy seeing you!" Came a deep, gravelly voice, nearly a growl, before a pair of strong, muscular arms suddenly wrapped about her waist "How lovely it is to see you again!"
"How do you like my costume? I'm Santa Claws, you know?"
Well, Robin wasn't exactly surprised that his drink would screw him over like this.
"Well, I'd best make the best of this then..." Mister Robin muttered as he adjusted his cloak to fit his new, hopefully temporary, form. Thankfully, the garment managed to fit rather well, and his eyes fell upon a perfect accessory for the occasion.

That didn't faze Kaneda. He had been beaten, bruised, tossed off of stuff, nearly swallowed by a giant mutant baby, and all sorts of stuff. He just jumped onto the reindeer.
Ah, December, the one month out of the year where joy is in the air and those who are enemies or squabblers put aside their differences and enjoy the holiday season together. Maybe Carl Grimes and Arya Stark would stop being so down in the dumps. Kyon might not complain as much. Perhaps Papyrus would try cooking special holiday spaghetti instead of normal spaghetti. For once maybe you'd see Cloud and Sephiroth get along. Maybe you'd even see The Doctor and The Master having a little fun together. Gnar would probably wear the most adorable holiday outfit you ever could imagine, leading around his holly jolly kitten army. Erika might carry around a roll of candy cane printed duct tape. You'd probably catch Rildey kissing Santa Claus. And maybe, just maybe , Growleth would be kind enough not to bite Ike's hand. Lastly, you picture that finally Joshua and Teresa may stop bickering for a change.
Haha, scratch that last one. Like that'd ever happen.
Lately, you noticed that The Multiverse Hotel seemed busier than normal. You would see more and more guests piling in, Prinnies running about carrying boxes of decorations, and a feeling of holiday spirit in the air. For the past week, the ballrooms had been off limits--as the hotel staff began to prep it for their annual Multiverse Hotel Christmas Party. And, oddly enough the gardens had been off limits too. You hear rumors floating about that the gardens will be involved in the Christmas festivities as well, but you haven't a clue. After all, you're simply a guest. But you knew the rumors would soon come to an end; today was the day the party was set to begin!
Early in the afternoon, around 3pm, no matter where you were in hotel--even if you were just arriving--you would hear an announcement bellow over the loudspeaker.
Attention all guests, the Multiverse Hotel's annual Holiday celebration is about to begin! If you will be participating in this year's events please head down to our ballrooms and join us!
If you just so happen to be one of the guests interested in attending their celebration, you begin to make your way down to the ballrooms. Along the way, you are greeted by a beautiful assortment of christmas trees, ribbons, lights, candles, and many other gorgeous holiday additions to the wonderful hotel.
Once you arrive in front of the designated party rooms, you make your way inside and notice that quite the crowd had already begun to arrive. The room is as festive and cheerful as the decorated hallways are. A band is standing on the stage at the front playing soft christmas music.
As the music plays, you notice a young woman walk out on stage. The music then stops for a moment, and the woman takes a microphone from one of the singers so she can address the crowd.
"Merry Christmas, one and all! The Multiverse Hotel thanks you for attending our holiday party this year! My name is Queen Elsa, and I'll be aiding with the ice skating competition to be held this evening--along with announcing all of our events. If you are interested in participating in any of our events please see our list of entertainment for the evening that can be found in the doorway of this room. Thanks again for coming, and I will now turn your attention over to Donnie, our DJ for the evening."
"Thanks, your royal highness. Donnie here, bringing you all your favorite Christmas hits. Tonight, we'll be bringing you everyone's favorite holiday tune, Here Comes Santa Claus, all night. It'll be a non-stop marathon, people, so I hope all of you enjoy--"
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, we are not doing this again. I'm not feeling it. I don't wanna do this, but you've forced my hand. I'm just gonna have to take over."
A much taller man, clearly bigger than the little elf who was working as a DJ, suddenly hopped on the stage. He wrestled with the little elf for a moment, eventually tossing him away from the DJ equipment. "This event is a part of the Murder Games Community, is it not? We aren't going to listen to some repetitive crap all night, are we? No! We're gonna rock all night and cluck like the chickens we are until sunrise!"
The track of music the man selected begins to play...
...and you realize the party is beginning.
Hanging in the doorway is a list detailing where all of the main party locations and events can be found.
Main Locations
Ballroom A - The main party area. There is dancing going on nearby the stage where DJ Donnie and a live band are set up. Tables and a banquet table are set up for anyone interested in partaking in a Christmas feast. A drink table can also be seen, full of mysterious drinks to try.
Ballroom B - Take a photograph with Santa Claus! Free to anyone interested!
The Gardens - Full of many beautiful winter themed decorations, the gardens a great place to have a snowball fight, play in the snow, go ice skating, or go on a sleigh ride, or take a walk.
* note: All other Multiverse Hotel locations are available as well, but these selected locations are mainly for this event.
Events
Mysterious Drinks - in Ballroom A, next to the feasting tables, there is a table full of mysterious drinks to try. There is a red & white drink, a green drink, a blue drink, a silver drink, a gold drink, a red drink, and a white drink.
(ooc: This is the traditional potion game of the Murder Series. Drinking a potion will make something happen to your character, whether it be good, bad or strange. The effects will at least last three days in real life time (not IC time), but you can make them last for as long as you like if you want to play with them longer. You may only take one potion at a time, but you may take another after the effects of your current potion wear off if you would like. There are unlimited amounts of each potion. To participate, be sure to tag me and in-character please bold and underline which potion you choose to take so that I may activate your event.)
The White Elephant Gift Exchange - Near the door of Ballroom A you see a sign-up list to participate in the hotel's white elephant gift exchange, and a basket to place your gift in.
(ooc: To participate in the white elephant gift exchange please tag me, bold and underline your action in-character saying you signed up for the white elephant party, and find a picture of a gift idea. It can be something funny, cool, silly, weird, anything! But PM me this picture and tell me what your gift is--don't tell anyone else! Then, after everyone has PMed me their pictures / gifts, in-character I will randomly tag a few people a day and give their character a gift in the roleplay out of that selection I received. The character will then be given the option to keep their current gift, or steal a gift from someone who has previously opened one. The event will begin December 8th so if you are interested in participating please sign up before then.)
Ice Skating Races - Near the Gardens you will see a sign-up list to participate in the hotel's Ice Skating Race. If you sign up, a Prinny servant will aid you in finding a pair of skates to use, and you will be allowed a short amount of time to practice skating before the racing begins.
(ooc: This will be a dice event. The race will be run in a 1 v.s. 1 format. When two characters are called to race, they each will roll a dice in-character. The character who rolled the higher number will be the winner of the race. All of the winners of the first round will have matches against the other winners. This will keep going until only one person stands victor. There will be prizes for first, second, and third place. If you are interested in taking part in this event, please tag me and in-character bold and underline your action saying that you signed up for the ice skating races. This event will begin December 5th, so if you are interested in participating please sign up before then.)
Holly Jolly Scavenger Hunt! - Outside of Ballroom B a flyer can be seen posted on the wall, advertising for a scavenger hunting game. Little information is given on the scavenger hunt, and you're unsure what entirely you must do for it. Small lettering on the bottom of the flyer reads: "Sign your name at the bottom of the list and I'll come to find you when I'm ready to start this fun filled holiday... er... game."
(ooc: If you're interested in participating, as always, bold and underline your action in-character saying you signed up for the scavenger hunt.This event will begin on December 11th, and instructions will be given when it is time for it to begin."
[/hr]
ooc: Thank you everyone for participating in this Christmas event! Anything that is labeled an event is something you must tag me to partake in, but otherwise this event will be mostly self-run, meaning it will be up to you to entertain yourselves with interactions rather than waiting for the GM to move the roleplay along. This will be a very casual, relaxing event. I hope you all enjoy it and have a wonderful holiday season! Cheers~
Simply standing around and observing the scene quietly was a blonde woman in a pink and white dress. As a Shattered Angel- someone that saw her purpose as nothing more than being a servant -Setsuna wasn't exactly well-versed when it came to parties and socializing.
Ryan had wandered off from her sisters, and immediately signed up for the White Elephant Gift Exchange, wearing her typical calm and gentle expression.
You're suddenly blinded by a bright light in your face. Ouch! Where is that coming from? After a minute, you realize the light is actually coming from... you, your own nose to be exact. Oh dang it. You now have a festive, glowing red nose. Oh well, at least its fitting for the season, right?

Since this just so happened to be the younger version of Ilona, the child didn't recognize Morgan. But hey, the girl looked like a lot of fun so Ilona wasn't against playing with her. "See, Mother, this girl is doing the same thing! It's wonderful fun!"
Queen Elsa was appalled. "Stop, stop this foolishness at once! That's dangerous and you're going to ruin the decorations!" The queen then turned to glare at Leah, Morgan and anyone who happened to be either participating in this silly act or encouraging it. "You're bad examples to my daughter! Stop, immediately!" She glanced to the one voice of reason, with a frown. "Help me stop this somehow. Someone is going to get hurt." So it turns out, a very worrisome queen turned out to be a very worrisome mother.
Ilona swung from decoration to decoration, giggling with glee. "You're good at that!" she complimented Morgan. The child only slowed her antics when she spotted a familiar face--or rather a familiar skeleton.
"Papyrus!" she cried, jumping from the decoration she was on top of in order to land on his shoulders. "By the sun's light, you look different somehow! I can't quite put my finger on it... did you get a new haircut, perhaps?"
Similar glee was evident in Morgan's smile as she nodded excitedly, "Comes with my training! When you need to wait for the perfect moment to throw a knife, you start to apply that stuff to other things!"
