text post; let's get into the yuletide spirit!

[frisyr]

Hey everyone, I was talking with John and we thought it would be really cool if Recollé had a Christmas Market! We'd have to put one together ourselves, and figure out where to put it... and it'd probably be kinda small, but really festive!

I think maybe we can have like warm chocolate, and spiced wine, and maybe some caroling!

So, um... can anyone let me borrow their space heater for the day or help me set up or something? Thanks!

[ OoC: I'll post a log later this week! Most Christmas markets sell Christmassy snacks and local crafts, so if you'd like to have your character man their own booth selling their stuff, I'll have a header up! ]

Okay... but it would be kinda weird for me to invite people up to my apartment? I don't wanna get in trouble with my landlord either, she's kinda scary...

[ Is that his problem, Emil?

No, no it isn't. ]

Perhaps someone else will volunteer their own.

[ Laurent will not. Besides which, even if he for some reason wanted to he's sure it would be a security risk and his plans would be stopped. ]

[frisyr]

Heyy, what about your place?

[ You think that's gonna stop this boy Laurent u wrong ]

[anguinous]

[ What is wrong with people in this place. ]

You don't think it's rude to assume someone has a permanent residence, and to ask if you can use it to hold an illegal Christmas market as part of a first conversation?

[ He could be homeless, Emil. How entitled of you. ]

[frisyr]

Okay, well I'm sorry, are you homeless

[anguinous]

No.

[ But he could have been Emil.

He could have been! ]

[frisyr]

Okayyyy well

How free are you... like next Saturday

[anguinous]

[ This is some oddly impressive persistence. Yet Laurent is naturally very stubborn. He knows exactly how to handle this: ]

No.

[ Give no quarter. ]

[frisyr]

Okay, how about Sunday then!

[anguinous]

[ Why, Emil, why? Are we going to go through every day of the week? ]

Absolutely not.

[frisyr]

Okay but

It'll be festive and you won't have to decorate yourself!

[anguinous]

I don't want festive decorations.

[ ... Honestly, he does enjoy the lights but he much prefers them outside rather than in his own living area. ]

[frisyr]

Do you celebrate winter holidays?

[anguinous]

No.

[ ... Not strictly true. Laurent does buy people gifts and sometimes eat festively decorated things. He just doesn't follow any religious celebrations, and also doesn't want Emil using his apartment for a market. ]

[frisyr]

Oh. Um. Sorry then?

Happy Not-Holidays? Happy Saturday?

[anguinous]

Thank you. Good luck with your market.

[ Your illegal market. ]

[frisyr]

Thanks! Even though you don't celebrate, I hope you come join us!
