The way down to the party is well-lit with tiny yellow and white lights along the way. Do dress warmly - it's still more than a little cold out.

Cara's leathers were more than warm enough to stand the cold, especially considering the prospect of fires, which frankly were the main thing drawing her down to the park, rather than spending the evening in the gym or her room.

Nathan's skinny frame was going to take a lot of layers to make him warm but he had a disguised flask in his pocket that he figured would more than help him warm up a little later.

For now, he had some cocoa in his hand and even if he felt like a fucking pansy, he had to admit that it was pretty fucking good.

There were bonfires (and more free food)? Mercy was there. It may have been cold, but compared to winter in Aspen Creek, it was nothing.

Ender made his way down, wrapped up in a thick coat (IF-issued, of course) and looking, if not outright cheery, at least pretty content for his standards. He took a moment to get a good look at who else was here, then headed towards the fires.

Peter came down relatively late. Most of his contacts had gone to sleep, and the rest had gone to celebrate, and, well. He wasn't feeling lonely or anything, honest.

He was just hungry.

This wasn't the kind of party Dolf was used to, but he liked the look of it. And it seemed a better idea than hanging around his room alone, so...

He drifted outside eventually, coat on.

Natalie had no problem dressing warmly. She was used to worse and honestly, she liked a little bit of chill in the air. She liked the dark, too, since it made the fires more vivid.

All in all, she was pretty content as she wandered around. Maybe she'd even skate, later.

Raven had a thick velvet skirt on under her cloak and high boots to protect her bare legs, so she wasn't feeling the cold so far. As it got later, that might change.

For now she was eyeing the frozen pond, wondering if she dared tried to skate, or if she could convince Jono to try it.

Not a chance, Raven.

That said, Jono wasn't adverse to, say, stepping up behind her and wrapping his arms around her shoulders, putting his mouth beside her ear.

"Fancy meeting you here, Sunshine."

Even if she asked nicely? And batted her eyes?

Raven wrapped her arms around his, leaning back against him. "I am glad you are here," she said. "There is no one with whom I would rather welcome the new year."

Well... maybe if she was batting her eyes.

"Wouldn't want to miss it, luv," he murmured, sighing contentedly as she settled back against his chest. "You know, I think I'm actually looking forward to this next one coming?"

... Really, it couldn't be as bad for him as the last one had been.

"It will be a very good year, I insist upon it," Raven said.

It had to be. No falling to her father's power and turning evil. No being married against her will to a stupid vampire. No Jono almost dying because he lost his powers and then having an insane would-be god alter his body with his blood. None of that. She forbid it.

"Well, here's hoping," Jonothon decided, giving her a little squeeze before loosening his grasp on her. "Any resolutions for 2012, luv?"

Not turning evil, not being bitten by a vampire?

"To use my gifts wisely to help others," she said, turning around so she could see his face. "To control my temper so I do not lose control. And to be as good a friend as I can to those I care for."

Guess who was at the top of that list, Jono?

"What about you?" she asked.

Those were some pretty good resolutions, really.

"To... appreciate what I've got as much as I can," he decided. "To watch my temper, and..." Jono pursed his lips a little, and then smiled and shrugged. "Sing."
