[ Filtered to everyone who knows about, and has been to, or plans on being in the Cabin in the Woods; ]Wayward Travelors, you're invited into the front room for sake, peppermint hot chocolate, and the Christmas tree. Attendance isn't manditory, but if I catch sight of a frown or a hint of a mope, I'm kicking your physical butt toward this couch

[conniving_flame]

Can I at least pout?

[goldenpine]

[ she points to the couch again ]

If you're sitting right there, sure.

[conniving_flame]

Only on the frowny couch? A little strict, don't ya think?

[goldenpine]

As strict as I get~

[dawnward]

Sake?

..."Brigade of Cheer"?

[Riku's in the kitchen of the cabin by this point, actually! making dinner for...a lot of people. from a lot of rabbits]

[goldenpine]

It's a wonderful social lubricant and freer of worries.

[ have some Rangiku all up in your kitchen, since she was just the room over. ]

The Brigade of Cheer includes your little friend with the dyed hair. How many rabbits did you have to slaughter for this?

[dawnward]

...so it's alcohol.

[...hunches up a little in his neat white apron]

That's what I thought. And it was only eight.

[goldenpine]

Don't make that face~ you'll wrinkle. I'm counting you down for the hot chocolate, then.

[ Peeeeering over your shoulder. ]

So what're you making with eight rabbits?

[dawn_is_coming]

Sake? And who is the Brigade of Cheer?

[goldenpine]

Yes, and you are. Well, you're part of it.

[ she quirks and eyebrow ]

Where're you at, kid?

[dawn_is_coming]

[ducks into the front room---he'd been making sure that food and supplies were stocked]

Right here. And that's a dumb name. Brigade?

[goldenpine]

[ She's holding a mug of that hot chocolate ]

Busy, busy. Sake or Cocoa?

[ as to the comment on the name, she makes a sound of amusement. ]

Fine, fine, you can rename it. You have thirty seconds~

[canniballistic]

I'm not sure if that's a warm welcome or a thorough warning...

[goldenpine]

[ She... doesn't remember Abel's name at first, so she smiles and says; ]

Hey now, it's both! Where are you at right now, Silver?

[canniballistic]

That's not very reassuring. Ah... Still trying to convince myself that a walk through the snow might not be all that bad.

By any chance, does our infinitely generous and kind hostess give directions?

[goldenpine]

We've got a nice big fire to warm you up, if you come on in through the transporter and head straight toward the middle of the forest.

I could kick one of the boys out to lead you in, if you want a guide~

[ and she very much would do that, too. ]

[bloodypawn]

It wouldn't feel as mandatory as it does if we weren't practically being herded here.

[At least he found the place, though. ...and that being in the kitchen is something he doesn't really mind.]

[goldenpine]

You know what they say - make the best of a grave situation. [ she spots Zero, and brings him a cup of the hot chocolate. the young folks are all about the peppermint cocoa, she swears. ]

Welcome to the Cabin!

[bloodypawn]

Thanks.

[he takes the mug, despite not really wanting the drink. However, just as he does so, he tenses and drops the glass, suddenly hyper-aware of the spilled blood in the cabin. He drops to the floor to hastily pick up the glass shards.]

[goldenpine]

[ Rangiku's sort of busy helping Sam, though in passing she notes the picking up of shards, and gives some helpful advice. ]

How'd that happen? Nevermind - There's a sort of garbage can in the kitchen, near the sink.
