[[OOC: Okay, kids. Have your Christmas Ball. ^^ Given that 'tis the season for traveling and holiday stress, you can probably expect the whole kaboodle to be slowtimed to Hell, but the important thing is that it's here for you to throw your kids in. Mix and mingle, make new friends, and have fun! Remember, this takes place on December 24, so any ( Read more... )

Lincoln Park is over 1200 acres, so it's no surprise, really, that two people can both be in it and have no idea the other is there.

Lily Evans, for example, is currently all bundled up and making snow-animals - so far she's done Gryffindor's lion and a larger-than-life Ravenclaw's eagle finished, and is currently working on a Hufflepuff Badger ( Read more... )

((OOC: A party thread! When was the last one? I don't remember! Basically, anyone can respond to anyone in this post! So join in! There'll be another snowball fight for the Gauche area soon!))

It's snowing in Chicago! who knows if it's enough for a snowball fight, but dammit we'll pretend.

JD had come back to the Conrad to tell Ariel where he's ( Read more... )

Doc Brown is restless and bored. He hasn't really done much of anything for a while except work on the designs to what will hopefully be a time machine one day, and now he figures he needs a break. He loves his Science, but there's only so much even he can take ( Read more... )

Aiden is at the nearest library again, as he has run out of books to read in his room. So, he is wandering the history aisles, looking for various books on ancient civilizations (his interest of the moment). Anyone in the vicinity is free to bother him, as usual; he is always open for conversation.

Zelgadis is playing guitar in the hotel lobby. He ( Read more... )

There are eight people, in various locations, who have rather abruptly returned after long absenses.

Aiden is situated in the lobby of the Conrad, completely oblivious to the fact that he's been gone for about two months. Currently he's going through his old, non-Psychic journal. The psychic one is tucked into the bag slung over his shoulder, ( Read more... )

Aiden got a bit lost along the way, but he's made it to a coffee shop whose address was given to him by Amber McKeenan. That he got lost along the way is understandable, given that Aiden is from a world that doesn't even remotely resemble this one, and thus, he doesn't know the city that well ( Read more... )

Aiden has a puppy. More accurately, he has Neil's former familiar, Conan. Conan apparently decided to latch on to the nearest sorcerer he could find after Neil died. Even if said sorcerer can't use magic anymore ( Read more... )

There are two Firebenders in the Common Room.

Well, more accurately, there's a Firebender and a Fire Elemental. But they're almost the same thing, so the distinction is mostly semantics.

Aiden is reading up on Elementals. How he managed to acquire a book on them is a complete mystery, but he did, and now he's curled up in a chair by the fireplace ( Read more... )

Aiden is among those that are very happy to be back in the basement. He's happily lounging in the common room, humming and drawing something in his sketchbook.

Zelgadis is likewise in the common room. He got a book of blank music paper and is currently writing in it, though he's not adversed to being bothered.

Neil is also quite happy to be back ( Read more... )
