PARTY PLANNING.
For everything we missed in the Fissure. Things we need.
-Decorations. Working on those. But Church said not to make everything myself. What decorations do we need for winter holidays.
-I'm getting a tree. Who has an axe. ...Or can I cut one down with a sword.
-Public consensus on presents. Cultural differences. Should we get something for everyone or just special people. Or something else.
--Except Arianna. Get her things. Because her birthday was in there somewhere.
-Food. What kind. Who wants to make that.

What else.

Recently checked in with Strange, found out I can have infinite axes now.

No one Magical Girl should have this much power.

[nojohnyouare]

You make them?

[redmeguca]

My spear magic changed recently. I can make pretty much anything with a blade now.

[nojohnyouare]

That sounds like it'll work. I've only used real weapons once before. But a tree shouldn't be hard.

[redmeguca]

If you need someone to run odd jobs, just ask. Rosso Fantasma makes me the ultimate multitasker.

[nojohnyouare]

Kind. Thank you.

[redmeguca]

No problem. Good luck with the prep.

From my observations of human parties, you need Christmas crackers.

[Because he was in Australia then]

[nojohnyouare]

What are those.

[eudaimonikos]

They're these little tubes that you pull apart, and it makes a popping noise. They have prizes inside. Things like paper hats and little plastic toys, nothing major.

[nojohnyouare]

Can those be made? I have roll paper.

[eudaimonikos]

Can we get any cracker snaps? Or I can make them myself if we have silver fulminate. But I hope that isn't just laying around, it's very explosive.

[nojohnyouare]

Maybe in the labs. But Fissures bring in all kinds of things.

[eudaimonikos]

I can look around. Should acquaint myself with the labs anyway, they sound interesting.

But all that is only important for the noise. We can do them regardless. I'm told that the paper crowns are vital.

[nojohnyouare]

Crowns I can do. Toys... Probably somewhere. I wonder if there's enough.

[eudaimonikos]

No idea. They can have riddles or things like that inside too. Those are easy to make.

[nojohnyouare]

I'll ask who knows any. Thank you. Useful. Fun, maybe.

Mistletoe. Fireworks.

His Majesty's (Regis Lucis Caelum, too many damn kings) birthday was in there too, by your calendar.

[nojohnyouare]

Cake? Or something else.

[what do you get someone who just got here, does he even want cake, does he eat spicy things like izunia does instead, what]

[hardbargain]

Cake. choc/cinnamon

Weirdo likes spicy cake.

[It is such a mistake to tell Mai this but he doesn't know it.]

[nojohnyouare]

Oh. Family trait? Spicy.

[time to make a cake featuring dr. jalapeño]

[hardbargain]

Is it? He likes sweets but also likes our food. REAL Galahdian food.

[Which means spicy but he keeps forgetting y'all don't know what Galahd is.]

[nojohnyouare]

What's that like.

[hardbargain]

Hot.

Whatever you just thought of? hotter than that.

[nojohnyouare]

Okay. I think I can do that. Though in a cake... I'll try.

[hardbargain]

cinnamon's a good start. Or we have a kind of sweet chili sticky bun sort of thing. He'd probably love something like that

[nojohnyouare]

We have a good variety. Food coming in from Fissures. And hunting and fishing. Though that isn't for cake. ...Usually.

[hardbargain]

I can't cook for shit but I can taste test if you want.

[nojohnyouare]

Okay. Most of the food I know... Unorthodox. So you can try.

[hardbargain]

Sounds like a plan.

If it's a winter celebration, then there definitely needs to be a lot of food! Back home, we always have an enormous feast on the longest day of winter to celebrate getting through the worst of the dark and the cold. We can't miss that!

[nojohnyouare]

Food. What kind.

[summerbloom]

Lots of things! The idea is that it should keep you full and warm until spring comes around again, so it's all kinds of soups and stews and meats – there's a little bit of basically everything, it's amazing!

[nojohnyouare]

I can make things like that. Though... Unorthodox. A warning.

Don't worry too much about Arianna. I'm going to be arranging a surprise party for her this month – or at least, I'm arranging a party and it'll be a surprise so long as everyone can keep a secret.

private

[nojohnyouare]

Okay. Presents... I found a Roomba. Do you think she still likes those.

private

[serrata]

Definitely. Maybe we could decorate it and make it a little cuter, to make it even more of a surprise?

[nojohnyouare]

Like with paint? Or what else is there.

[whatsmytalentagain]

What about a White Elephant Gift Exchange? I think that might fit the presents and party games quota.

[nojohnyouare]

Elephant-san?

[whatsmytalentagain]

It doesn't have anything to do with actual elephants.

See, everyone brings a wrapped gift of similar value, and they take turns picking one from the pile. Now the thing is, on someone's turn they can either open an unwrapped gift or "steal" a gift that's already been opened. The game ends when all the gifts are unwrapped and everyone has one.

[nojohnyouare]

Oh. Why is it named after elephant-san?

[whatsmytalentagain]

IDK

[nojohnyouare]

Okay.

It sounds interesting. How long would it take with this many people.

[whatsmytalentagain]

Good question...

[Guess he didn't think of that.]

This might take a while, assuming everyone wants to join in. Maybe there should be a sign up sheet or something?

[nojohnyouare]

Maybe. We can ask. If people are familiar with this.

[whatsmytalentagain]

Sounds like a plan!
