➣ 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!

[ miyuki should probably feel insulted, but she isn't. instead, she takes the ice ball and just watches him make a snowman.

please don't shape her sexy snowman into a shit. ]

[omg not everything he touches turns to shit

Instead, he applies more care to the lump of snow to try to shape into a more human-looking shape. He glances back at her with a grin as he does so.]

Now pay attention! You did good providing a solid foundation, Miyuki, but the next stop is forming life! That's what separates the snow boys from the snowmen!

[With some sticks and pebbles, he starts to put the pieces of the snowman into place. Now it's looking a lot more person-like! Yes, there's really no shit involved this time.]

[ thank god sukamon didn't make a cameo in this thread. ]

I see! You really are talented, sir! I'm glad you were able to teach me something like this.

Gahaha! [He scratches at his head and laughs as he leans back to survey his masterpiece. ...Did he sculpt a six-pack onto the snowman?!] Don't mention it! It's my pleasure to help others learn, even when it comes to something as simple as this! I'm sure you'll be ready to make your own works of snow art in no time!

It would be such a pity to destroy this, now.

[ considering they only made it to throw an ice ball at it... sweats ]

[Nekomaru looks the snowman in the eyes with a solemn look, and he reaches a hand out to his side with his palm open to motion for the ice ball to be placed into.]

No matter how beautiful something is... Sometimes, it just has to make a sacrifice, and go down like a brilliant firework!

[ SO INTENSE!!!!!! ]

I- I suppose! Please go ahead!

Very well. Here it goes!

[Nekomaru proceeds to dash back several yards and winds up his arm.]

HRRRRRRRGGGGGGGRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUGGHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!

[And so, as if he were taking an intense shit, Nekomaru throws the ice ball. It is sent flying right through the chest of the snowman, shattering it into snowy pieces.]

[ look at all that snow, it's as if it's snowing!!! ]

How marvelous!

[Snow way!!]

Hahaha! Now that was pretty fun! Your ice ball is truly great for throwing...

Thank you.

[ she gracefully accepts the compliment, not even bragging about the other things she can do. ]

I'm glad I could show you one of my abilities.

I should be thanking you! [He nods firmly.] It was my honor to witness your ability in action.

It was my pleasure!

If you'd like to learn about the magic we have in my world, I would be more than happy to show you sometime.

Ha! I'll gladly watch any demonstration that you'd want to throw my way!

I'd be more than willing to demonstrate how certain sports in my world work, too. I think you might be more interested in that.

[He laughs some more.]

You know what I'm ab out, Miyuki! That said, I am still interested in seeing your abilities. But I'd also be thrilled to see the sports of your world in action!

Then I'll prepare a proper demonstration. Hopefully there will still be snow in the Atrium by then.

[He crosses his arms and nods.]

I look forward to it. But don't push yourself too hard! If these conditions don't last, hopefully we'll find another opportunity down the line.
