// Jingle Mingle_ ➣ Sparkles and Spirits Late the night before, visitors will be asked to leave as the atrium is going to be closed for a few hours. It's completely blocked off from sight. In the morning, it will be open once again and the entire space is covered in a soft padding of snow. With more still falling! It's not entirely clear just where it's coming from or how they rigged it up to not even melt, but it's here. Throughout the day, the snow will keep falling though won't get any higher than one foot. Except for a designated area on the western side of the atrium. There characters will find copious amounts of snow to build forts or snowmen or wage an all out guerilla warfare snowball fight. Stationed throughout the atrium in various places out of the way are buffets and bars to provide everyone with delicious delectables and delightful drinks. These stations are constantly manned and refreshed so that nothing is ever empty or anyone is left wanting. Don't see a food you're dying to have? Ask and one of the workers will be happy to seek it out for you! Late morning to mid afternoon, there will be a gingerbread house contest. Everyone is encouraged to participate and show off their creative skill! All items needed will be provided to create your masterpiece. Various awards will be given out, including Best Use of Gumdrops. Once the magic hour begins, all the lights in the atrium will begin to flicker on. Twinkling lights in the trees and candied garden lights will mark the path appropriately called Candy Cane Lane, which is little more than a means to encourage a more romantic atmosphere with a walk around the atrium itself. ➣ Flannel and Frost Once night falls, the party is still going strong. More food is brought out and the drinks just don't stop flowing. Because what's a party without booze? On the east side of the atrium a large canopy is stationed with a dance floor beneath it just waiting for everyone to cut loose. A DJ will be playing all night with pulsing, hypnotic beats that not one booty can say no to. Invite someone to cut that rug or dance by yourself like no one's watching. It's time to cut loose! While walking through the atrium, be careful! There's enchanted mistletoe that will spring up anywhere at anytime and will trap anyone without restraint. (Did you think we wouldn't have this?) It hovers in the air with a soft green glow, encasing two passersby within an arm's length radius. Get those lips to puckering to get yourselves free! (A kiss anywhere counts, so don't fret!) Tucked away on the north side of the atrium is a large maze. It boasts to be the best activity for the holiday party, but those in charge could be a little biased. It's a mystery as to what goes on beyond the entrance and the only way anyone can find out is to just march right in. The rules of the maze are: 1.) No one goes in alone (max. 2 at a time) and 2.) If you feel too trapped or lost, take off the visor and the experience will be over. Upon entering, everyone will be given a visor and set loose inside. Each group will experience something different should they choose to go into the maze, so please go HERE for a customized maze trip! Everyone is free to stay as long as they wish, but around 3:00 in the morning, workers will begin dismantling things and ushering people out so they can clean. Once everyone is nestled all snug in their beds, they'll be visited by someone to get their holiday gifts! Happy Holidays!

I was, [ she nods cheerily, seemingly excited about being given a job. as an heiress, there's not much she does at home but be prim and proper. working and making money on her own is something she's never done before. it's a fun experience! ]

I currently work at an animal cafe.

( He blinks, making no sense of what she's saying. Neither does Makkachin, but as a dog who can be content in pets and attention, he doesn't need to understand much of the world around him. He just attends to the needs and emotions of his pack.

And their friends. )

An animal cafe? As in animal themed?

( He's clearly not gone to enough themed cafes in Japan to know what she means. Or what space means. Space what is this?! )

[yotsubas]

Oh, have you never heard of animal cafes before?

[ she will be more than happy to explain! she bends down to pet makkachin, if he'd let her. ]

They're cafes where you can spend time with animals. Where I'm from, there are specific cafes such as dog and cat cafes, and there are all kind of breeds of those pets. [ then she gets up, smiling ever so brightly at victor. the smile is so sincere as if there are flowers blooming from behind her. ]

Please visit, if you have the time!

( When she explains and clarifies, he grins, clapping his gloved hands together. )

Oh, yes! I've heard of those! Haven't been to one before, but it seems like now I'll have my chance.

( It sounds like way too much fun if it means he gets unlimited pettings, even if he's mostly a dog person at heart. He has some fondness for cats. Everything else sounds like an adventure.

Makkachin sidles up close for further pettings once she's standing, entirely too happy with the attention and seeing how much more he can get away with. Love him! Love the puppy-cut poodle! )

Where's the cafe located in the Shopping Centre?

[yotsubas]

[ makkachin is the cutest........ she won't deny him the pettings, then! she crouches back down and just smiles at the doggie before looking up at victor. her smile doesn't waver at all. ]

Well, we're at the third floor. It's called Petite Fluff.

[genice]

( he nods, watching his dog to make sure he stays on better behaviour. he can get overly affectionate simply by his nature; his expression is fond regardless. )

I see. Would Makkachin be welcome to come along too?
