sanctuary holiday party

Who: Anyone, open to all
What: Sanctuary's holiday party, low key since it's a hectic irl month. There will be a handwave thread for just that.
When: the last week of december
Where: sanctuary

Content Warnings: alcohol, others to be put in headers



Welcome to Sanctuary's attempt at a holiday party. It's open door, feel free to have heard about from word of mouth, a friend, just walking by and being curious.

It's also half planned by a man who doesn't know the first thing about any winter holidays, so that will probably be fine.


The kitchen is the drop off area for people who brought food. It's also open for people who want to prepare something themselves. The general instruction for anyone who asked what to bring was nostalgic food, something from their world, something from their preferred holiday this time of year. Because of that the selection is a bit wacky, but a lot of the staples are there.

Like cookies of various sorts, hot chocolate, a big bowl of some spiked drink that people are hopefully guarding from the wayward youth. Feel free to take a turn doing so or making it worse. Otherwise it's pretty much just a buffet of people moving in and out, taking a plate to wander.


Ugly sweaters are apparently a tradition so there's a pile of them in one of the rooms, brought by none other than Vi. Anyone is welcome to go and steal one, they're terrible. Imagine what Trench thrift stores would have in terms of ugly holiday sweaters and despair.

Music wafts through the rooms as well, again a weird combination of whatever holiday music seemed appropriate. The central room to the party has a tree, only it's made of metal and looks more on the menacing side than festive. Presents can be placed under there, ones that will be sent to Koz Orphanage for their own celebrations.

Speaking of there's a table for making decorations. Craft stuff, glitter and glue, origami and instructions on how to make stars and simple chains. It's clearly meant more for the Koz kids when they visit but no one's going to stop anyone from unleashing their muse over here. In fact it's encouraged to hang the decorations up when done wherever you'd like, including the increasingly cluttered, dangerous metal tree.

It's more than likely mistletoe ended up tacked up somewhere. Hey, at least it's not Trench bullshit magic mistletoe, it can be easily ignored.


Outside lights are strung up everywhere, the snow is fresh and it's a lot quieter in general. Not a bad place to wander, or to start hurling snow at people so it's immediately less quiet.

Character name: Jin Guangyao
What they're up to: The guy who shows up to the holiday party with a few copies of his curriculum vitae, just in case. (He doesn't actually do this, but he does have an elevator pitch prepared.) He'll stop by to help Palamedes wrangle some orphans and may create an origami swan that will fly on its own, and will probably hang out around Mike in his reading corner. Will also circulate and keep an eye out for anyone who looks Well Connected. Talk to him about public works and the importance of freely available clean drinking water, etc.

He's avoiding the mistletoe as soon as he wises up to what that's about.
Threading or handwaving?: I am keen to thread and handwave!

dohaeris: (ahahaha...)

[personal profile] dohaeris 2022-12-21 11:58 pm (UTC)(link)
something this policy-wonky should probably be handwaved....we can hash it out on discord or plurk??

heck I missed this notification somehow--yes I am fine to hash out either via discord or plurk \o/ maybe jgy also brings the 12 talismans for sansa? he likely would have wanted to arrange delivery of the blood another time so he isn't carrying around a pint of sleeper blood while chatting with other people over the punchbowl lol.

Danse is the opposite of well-connected, but discussion of infrastructure would legitimately be his idea of a fun conversation.

🙌 let's do it then. I'm happy to thread or handwave.

Woo! Let's handwave this one, but then they'll have a base for next time they talk, like, "oh yeah it's Water Purifier Guy."

Ezra's education is all practical, not academic on public works, but he is here for that conversation and always happy to learn more. He does food growing/gardening at Sanctuary and Trenchwood Farm.

this sounds good to me! I may be slightly at thread capacity atm but we could handwave and then potentially have them reconnect in the new year? maybe not in january since jgy will be an AU version of himself then lol

Yeah, I'm pretty oversaturated myself, honestly. We can handwave that they met briefly, and loosely pencil something in Febuary sure!
