in the bleak midwinter [winsol season! mingler]
Jaenelle likes to throw parties.
No, really.
This year, she's outdone herself. It's Winsol, and it's been a long, hard year for everyone. So it's time for a night of fun. She's pulled out all the stops. One of the big halls, ballrooms, is full of tables loaded down with food of every variety. She had to argue with the plothole for a while, but it's happening, and all of the food is rich and delicious. There is a tree up in one corner because she likes that tradition (even if it isn't hers) and the halls are decked with garlands and boughs that...are not actually real, shhh. Music is playing from an indefinable somewhere, music for dancing, although the type of dancing varies from song to song.
Jaenelle, in the midst of it, is wearing her black spidersilk gown and glowing, her smile bright and wide as she moves through the people around her, pausing to say hello, to talk, to share.
There is a sign by the door that says:
A GIFT TO THE MANSION: GO DOWN THE HALLWAY, THIRD DOOR ON THE LEFT.
Those who follow the direction might find themselves at a door, unremarkable except for a sign posted that says: memory room: for those missing home.
She hopes you like it.
[OOC: ...let's just pretend Jaenelle decided to delay the celebration for a couple days. This should have been around solstice. OH WELL.
SO MINGLER to start with, party post. Post in, post out, post all around. My notifications for Jaenelle are turned off, but I'll be checking back regularly, so leave a note if you want her to come by. Talk to anyone and everyone.
So as an explanation about the room: this is a project of Jaenelle's (vetted by the mods) that she's been working on for a while. Should people step into the room, they will find themselves immersed in either a) a pleasant memory or b) a place that is comforting to them from their home. It's meant to encourage feelings of relaxation and peace. She means it to be comfort to those nostalgic for home. It draws on the memories of the character, so if your character knows it, the room can imitate it. No physical effects, and it only lasts for about fifteen minutes, once a day for each puppet (so they don't waste away in there).
Give your character a present. :D AND HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU ALL.]
