[closed] maybe christmas doesn't come from a store

WHO: Cosima and Clone Club and assorted friends!
WHERE: Clara and Cosima's house in De Chima!
WHEN: December 21st-ish
WHAT: A day of gingerbread house decorating and holiday cheer!
WARNINGS: Nothing except for excessive holiday festivities!!



[If you're a friend or family of Cosima, or a friend of a friend of family of Cosima, you may have received an enthusiastic invitation to a gingerbread house decorating party at the Niehaus-Oswald home! The invitation is short but sweet, promising gingerbread and more festive desserts than anyone could eat and fun conversation! It also encourages people to bring a plus one! Or a plus ten, though maybe give her a heads up if that's your plan. She also requests everyone brings their favorite candy to decorate with! There's also an address, to a small and cosy home in one of the nicer neighborhoods of De Chima.

If your character decides to show up at said address during the scheduled party time they will be treated to an explosion of holiday cheer. The Niehaus-Oswald home is all ready for the holidays! Lights have been strung up outside, framing all the windows and there's a giant wreath on the front door. Inside, is even more elaborately decorated, with a fresh tree Cosima made sure was the biggest they could possible fit in their home, practically falling over under the weight of too many ornaments. (If you look closely you'll notice some of said ornaments are very untraditional, hope you like wooden molecular structures and plastic dinosaurs!). A bird in a festive sweater who can be found flying about and settled on a perch near the tree completes the festive scene!

But the kitchen is the main attraction! There are boxes from a local bakery filled with gingerbread pieces to build your own houses, along with gingerbread people and animals to decorate. She didn't bake the gingerbread herself because no one wants her baking anything, but several candles (gingerbread, sugar cookie, and vanilla) she has lit make make it smell like she's spent the day baking. There's also a full spread of all the candy you could possible want to decorate the houses with: gum drops, candy canes, sprinkles, M&Ms, marshmallows, shredded coconut, peppermint bark, chocolate chips... If you can think of wanting it, Cosima probably provided it along with frosting and an array of food coloring choices. It's the perfect setup to make some epic gingerbread houses!

There's also a hot chocolate and hot cider station setup (with alcoholic options for the adults (aka almost everyone) at the gathering. Several trays of festive desserts that highlight the specialties of popular bakeries in each of the imPort cities, just so that everyone can enjoy dessert without destroying their masterpieces!]


((Gingerbread house making holiday party is a go! If you think your character should've gotten an invite and I totally spaced it pp me or let me know via plurk! Or if you're just super interested in crashing the party!))

[For a moment she's just kind of taken aback, and the urge is there to try to explain herself, to try to make this okay. That's why she approached Sarissa in the first place, right? To hopefully get past whatever weirdness there was between them? But apparently this goes WAY deeper than she ever thought, and this woman might just be unhinged! And boy is it not Ruby's job to fix that or beg for her acceptance.

So instead, she just gives Sarissa a long stare, then shakes her head and starts to turn away.]


Good luck with that. It sounds like a lot of work.
