[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!

[ This part is not a goof. You can give the kid a cool new wand, but he'll still be a giant nerd. Case in point, Angus unclips the star-tipped wand from the lanyard around his neck, and since the cane-wand doesn't have a little clip on the end (yet!), he just hangs it from the lanyard by the hook, and beams. ]
See? This is stealthy! Or it would be, if I had the sweater over it.
[ Maybe he can get a knife next Candlenights. Candleknives. ]

You don't-- you don't think someone's gonna see the fuckin', cane lump moving under your skin and think you're about to have a fantasy chestburster experience right there? Or like third pec? What if it's just the nipple?
[Sorry Angus, you can get heartfelt gifts, but only with horrible mean teasing attached.]
no subject
[ He pats the wand close to his chest to demonstrate, even! ]
That's anatomically incorrect and pretty darned goofy, Sir, nobody thought I had a star sticking out of my chest when I kept my other wand tucked under my sweatervest!
no subject
You don't know that! Tons of people out there could think you have a third starry nipple! That could be your whole rep!
[Taako no. He just pats Angus on his head through his fluffy hair, wiping a tear from his eye.]
Oh man. Classic. Star nipped Ango, grand detective. I'm gonna get you a shirt.
no subject
... Okay, your Candlenights privileges are officially revoked. I'm taking the gun back.
no subject
Oh yeah? You gonna take it from me?
[The gun is still obviously on his person (of course it is) and he take it out, holding it above his head.]
You gonna come get it little man? Can, can you reach?

Happy Candlenights Ango, the deed is done!
[And then he just bolts.]
