Midwinter comes with snow, hot chocolate, and holidays abound. Yuletide carols and Christmas Hymns float from church rafters while the nine menorah candles are lit. The Solstice brings the darkest day of the year, and with its passing comes rebirth and renewal.
We ask that this holiday season you join us for laughter and smiles. Perhaps some gifts will be exchanged, or the mistletoe will lead you to someone special.
Please join us this Holiday Season...

The Bash is taking place in Rockefeller Center. A large white pavilion, heated beneath the canvas, hosts many tables of food, drink, seating areas, and a dance floor. Music following the season plays in the background while couples skate along the ice rink. Christmas trees, a few menorahs, and mishumaa decorate the space beneath twinkling lights and snowy facades. A Yule log burns in a fireplace centered beneath the tent.
Contests may pop up, gifts may be exchanged, and the occasional kiss may occur.
Please remember to maintain guild and Gaia ToS. We ask you do not start too many fights, and that you keep within the bounds of logic. This is a public party, and so random spell castings of obvious nature, fire balls, siren singing, etc. are not meant to occur.
Have fun, and happy holidays~

"Ah, the Big Apple all lit up for Christmas" the words, spoken quietly, were the only indicator of a young man's rather abrupt entrance to the Center. Well, they would be, considering he had only just arrived by teleportation moments ago. Still, humans wouldn't think that, they'd think he was just quiet.
Smiling at the thought of being 'ninja', Art strolled into Rockefeller, eying the city's Christmas party this year. He hadn't gotten an invite, though if need be he was certain Sahara could pull him from Security's grasp. Stepping along, he stopped by a cart serving cocoa and grabbed a mug. The last time he had such a drink, it was in Estes with Setsuna.

  Within the variety of activities at the party, the famous ice skating rink was not in the least bit empty. A few dozen couples and individuals ventured onto the rink with some bystanders viewing... and among the ones tying their skates in preparation to enter onto the ice was the young woman who seemed to be taking her sweet time. Some would think she was nervous, yet the look on her face showed the nearly exact opposite of anxiety.
Setsuna was an early arrival to the party at the Center; she hadn't wasted any time in venturing throughout the area, with her first stop at the food table for a couple of snacks. After she had spent some time browsing around the stores to allow the food to digest, she then made her first trip to the classic skating rink. Of course, Setsuna had to stick with simply skating around the rink- it was a public place, and attempting to pull off an Olympic stunt wouldn't end very well. Regardless, she was content with it, being reluctant to exit after 30 minutes on the ice. Then again, she wanted to see if anyone else had made it, most notably three people who were very close to her. However, nearly a half hour of searching and no results led the young woman back to the ice skating rink. She would have to be patient, especially for one in particular.
After giving the laces of her skates a few good tugs to make sure they stayed intact, Setsuna carefully stepped out onto the ice for the second time, slowly skating at first to maintain balance before speeding up a little to keep up with the crowd. A serene look was on Setsuna's face as she skated; other than swimming, it was one of the enjoyable ways for her to clear her mind, to relax and enjoy herself, and to feel at peace, even for a brief moment.Location: Rockerfeller Center, Ice Skating RinkThoughts: Theme: Christmas Time Is HereChristmas time is here

Arthur smiled a thanks to the woman handing out the hot drink before watching the skaters on the ice. He arched his brows at the sight of a very familiar young woman. A brief, brilliant smile flitted across his face.
The Once King set his cocoa down, heading towards the skate rental. After a moment the young man behind the counter handed him a pair and Arthur sat to lace them up tight. He tapped his toe against the ground, the blade making a soft clicking sound, and nodded. They would do.
A moment later he was on the ice, skating up gracefully to glide beside Setsuna Jackson."Hullo Set." Arthur grinned, British accent in place. He had given up the New Yorker appeal for awhile. Besides...he liked to think Setsuna found the British one more realistic...maybe even more attractive. Not that he would, of course, admit that to himself.

Although she slightly sensed a familiar presence entering the rink, Setsuna was in no hurry to greet them. She would skate for a few more minutes, then catch up with them momentarily. After all, she was currently calm, paying little attention to the people around her... or even the one approaching her.
"Hullo, Set."
The all too recognizable British accent startled Setsuna from her tranquil state, causing her to lose balance for a few seconds before she straightened herself, looking to her side to grin at the blonde haired and sea-green eyed man skating right beside her. "I was wondering when you would show up," she greeted Arthur as she mildly elbowed his arm. "I haven't seen you for a while, Art... how've you been and what have you been up to?"Location: Rockerfeller Center, Ice Skating RinkThoughts: Right on cue as always.Theme: Christmas Time Is HereChristmas time is here

"I've been busy. Looking up some people from my past and getting up to my nose in dusty scrolls." Arthur shrugged, sliding his hands into his pockets and skating alongside Setsuna. "And you?" He hadn't seen her in at least a month. It was a long time to be away from her.

  Setsuna gave a brief smile in response. "Nothing much... end of semester exams, decorating the huge mansion for the holidays, trying to figure out what to get who for Christmas... and occasionally talking to Sahara," she replied. She was curious as to whom Arthur was researching about, for it had to be someone important if he was nearly living in the archives for about a month. But now wasn't the time; Setsuna wanted to enjoy this day with him. "Any chance that we'll all spend Christmas together? I mean... it's only a suggestion." She shrugged a bit- it was a slight attempt to banter around with Arthur... thought the idea seemed nice.Location: Rockerfeller Center, Ice Skating RinkThoughts: Theme: Christmas Time Is HereChristmas time is here

  Arthur tactfully remained silent while Setsuna spoke, listening with an absent sort of air. "Sounds as if you've been rather busy." The Once King summarized. He could sense mild curiosity on her part, probably concerning who he was researching. Come to think of it, he could call Lance and ask for help...but then, that would require Gwen coming by as well. Not the best way to start the holidays. Blinking, he returned to the present and tuned back in time to hear Setsuna's suggestion.
Abruptly he broke into a brilliant smile. "Well, I was planning on having Viviane and I exchange gifts over eggnog and share warm stories of Christmases past. I think I like your idea better." ◈ Location: Rockefeller Center, Ice Rink◇ Thoughts "I think I'd love to spend Christmas with her."◈ Theme: All I Want For ChristmasDon't want a lot for Christmas

"Yeah... you've been busy, I've been busy... we're both busy," Setsuna chuckled; though after she spoke of her idea with Arthur, it earned a bright smile from the Once King, saying he liked her suggestion. At that point, Setsuna's eyes flickered with joy. "So do I. I'd love to hear your stories- and Miss Viviane's stories as well." She smiled with excitement. Christmas with both of her families... no.... with her whole family. Aunt Shay, Rastinith, Sahara, Arthur, and everyone else- they were all family. "Um... let's go explore the plaza a bit. Skating around in a circle for a long time is going to make me dizzy sooner or later," Setsuna joked before skating towards the entrance of the rink.Location: Rockerfeller Center, Ice Skating RinkThoughts: Christmas with Arthur... *sighs happily*Theme: Christmas Time Is HereChristmas time is here

The Devour Life King Araris had never really been one for Christmas. Celebrating the almightly Son of God was cool and all, but when you are born a royal demon you really don't get much of a chance to see things that way. Araris was evil. He knew it, he was born to it, and he really hoped that lineage wasn't held against him in whatever came to demons who died.
Araris sat in his leather jacket, enjoying the crisp and cold night air. He watched a couple skate from the pavilion wall. I hope Ira shows up soon

"I think Viviane would enjoy that...and we do not need you fainting so wandering it is." Arthur smiled and followed her off the ice. Removing his skates, Art happily exchanged them for his boots and returned them to the rental booth.
He noted another, dark presence enter the area, but sensed no ill harm from them. Arching a brow, he offered his arm to Setsuna."Shall we?" ◈ Location: Rockefeller Center, Plaza◇ Thoughts "I think I'd love to spend Christmas with her."◈ Theme: All I Want For ChristmasDon't want a lot for Christmas

Witnessing more than I can compute Already, Christmas time was here, not that it meant much to her. The only person Akira would spend time with was always busy and she was too. Granted, it could be argued her time was spent doing something much more productive than "chasing ghost". In any case, the silverette had recently arrived in New York and was currently driving around aimlessly. That is, until she spotted an ice skating rink and pulled her motorcycle to a halt. Memories immediately surfaced of times when she would ice skate with her friends around this time. The thought of getting off her motorcycle and skating around for a bit crossed her mind, but the notion was quickly dismissed. That was the past, the distant past as it felt to Akira. She sighed, her breath clearly visible in the cold air, as she rubbed her arms in an attempt to keep warm. On your feet

If I promised you the moon and the stars, would you believe it?  Sitting off to the side, Christopher watched everything happen. It had really helped him get into the season. New York was the perfect place for a vacation this time of year. With an uncharacteristic smile and a glow in his cheek, he mingled, finding people to talk to and generally enjoying himself. In the crowd were a few familiar auras, but he simply ignored them. It was, after all, his favourite season. It was one of the only things that could get him this excited.

 ♦Edel Condulmer♦ Witch of Fruition♦Location♦ Within the crowd.♦Status♦ Looking for someone of interest to interact with.
A woman in a long white dress draped in a white fur coat pushed her way through the crowded area. A fur trimmed white hat sitting over her black ringlets, a large emerald green bag hanging from her shoulder....and a small scowl crossed over her face.
She hated crowded streets. HATED them. She didn't want to say she was claustrophobic, but...she could easily be so in this place.
Edel sighed as she finally found a spot in the crowd that had enough breathing room for her, and gently tossed a lock of her raven hair over her shoulder. Her black eyes scanned the crowds as she slid her gloved hand over the strap of her bag. She wasn't here to celebrate so much as she was to find potential clients.
She did this during every holiday or social gathering. Scan the crowds for any signs of someone with a problem that she could solve...or see if she could find something for herself. Someone with some "oddity" that she could study or take home to collect from. So far though...with the heavy crowd....she could only find happy-going humans.
