[closed] by all calculations, we're pretty sure...

Who: The residents of Horny House (imported house 5-1) and their esteemed invited guests (The Drakes, Alphys, Gren, Ephemera, and Cecily)
What: It's Candlenights! And considering how much the rest of the month has sucked, it's fuckin time.
Where: Horny House (imported house 5-1)
When: Backdated to December 25th
Warnings: Should be clean, other than some drinking and cursing.

The thing about Candlenights is that nobody actually knows what day it is. The nature of Candlenights is it's appearance- its not Candlenights, and then suddenly it just is. There's calculations you could do, sure, but that sounds like a lot of work, and the twins about figure that it's been roughly a year since they last did this. Plus, this month has sucked in an incredible way for them both, so you know what?

It's Candlenights now. Boom, just like that. Fuck you, Gods. It's Candlenights.

So when the guests arrive, the house is as decked as they're able to get it, under the circumstances. The front hall has shiny beads and a line of floating candles to and up the stairs, which guests can climb to find the party on the top floor. The living room has the familiar warm ambiance of the house itself; more candles floating around the room but giving off no heat. If someone takes the time to brush them, they might realize they're illusions, capable of producing at least light. Thankfully, a fire pit in the center of the room burns bright and strong, hitting some sort of invisible wall if it tries to flick outside the boundaries but providing warmth to the room at large. The kitchen holds plates of food, a large stew on the stove with meat from one of those large beasts simmering to taste. Additional hors d'oeuvre, mostly breads and fruits, lay in dishes for guests to partake. And for later, a large cake dusted in powdered sugar sits atop the mantle, waiting to be cut. A few bottles of wine, obviously hoarded since better times, sit on top of the bar to be distributed as one sees fit, as well as a large punch bowl filled with... something. It's alcoholic, but uh, maybe take it slow. Or don't, and get drunker than you've ever been. It's Barry Bluejeans' Ultra Punch (what if Punch...... but More) and it should be imbued with caution.

And finally, the thing Taako is most proud of, is a real bush sits in the corner surrounded by gifts. If one were to look closely or think about it critically, they might realize only Carlisle's gardens have bushes, and this one looks very similar to one of those. Don't think about it too hard! Just marvel at the bush! It's also been covered in illusory candles, so it isn't a fire hazard, but they're not above putting real candles on it. What do you think they are, safe? Please.

But for once, among the gloom from the last planet to this one, and the darkness in their lives, Candlenights brings warmth and good tidings for the year ahead. Time to get through the winter, folks, and maybe quite literally forget your problems for a while.

This is a mingle log! Post top levels, give gifts, get incredibly drunk on magic punch- anything goes. Happy Candlenights, everyone!

[Gods above, if Barry had any idea Alphys thought he was cute he might pass out. Imagine, his boss thinking he's cute. Or, well, it's been a while since Barry has considered her only his boss. He really considers Alphys a friend. A good friend. One of his very best ones.]

A li'l party! Yeeeah! Jussa li'l party with friends, every day. Wha's your favorite cat, doc, tell me everything about cats.

[chinhands]

[Protip: If you're nice to Alphys for more than 15 collective seconds, she has a crush on you and thinks you're cute. That's how it goes! That's the whole thing! So of course Barry's cute. Barry was cute on day one when she already knew Lup and they met and Barry shook her hand and called her "ma'am". Like. Please.

He brought up cats though, and that's a big win.]


Ohmygosh I love... all cats, s-so many cats. You know I have cats here, right? Have you ever been to my apartment because there's cats there. At least three.

[Wait! This ties in! She sits up, slapping him lightly with little tap-tap-taps o his arm.]

Wait wait wait, that's, that's the hangout! Come over and pet cats That's a g-great hangout!

Yeah! Yeah, I-- I crashed on yer couch fer a while there. Long time ago now though, that wassa long time ago. D-Did y'have cats then? I think I'd remember cats...

[Barry perks up as Alphys tap-tap-taps his arm, beaming at the sweet young lizard woman.]

Thassa good hangout! I-- I like that a lot! What's your cats' names? I, I, y'know, I can't pet somebody an' not know their name!

Oh! Ohmygosh that's right... t-that was, uhm. That was time ago. Definitely some measure of time. I don't remember how it works.

[But without moving that much farther away, she starts counting off on her fingers.]

Well there's-- there's three of them, it's. It's Mew Mew, and Ichigo, and Masaya. And then I have a, a nug, and a fox, and that's Bub and Brot. And my r-roommate has a wolf named Wolfie. So there's just so much. I have so many. How did I get so many?

[She looks almost genuinely surprised at this fact.]
