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: Robyn Goodfellowe
What they're up to: Mingling, eating, and likely going to try her hand at making decorations even if that's meant for kids a bit younger than her. Will probably try on an ugly sweater and still unironically love it anyway. She's not familiar with the whole mistletoe thing, but she'll likely avoid it when she finds out it's for kissing since that's not something she's prepared for yet.
Threading or handwaving?: Definitely threading! Not sure if I'll put up a top level yet, but I'll definitely tag around. I'm also willing to handwave if that's what anyone prefers.

little wolfbird!! sansa has warm riding/hunting leathers for you, a brown hooded, fur-lined cloak with feathery detailing embroidered at the neck and shoulders in shades of brown and cream (like a falcon.......hopefully), some easy to wash quilted cotton tunics, and a pair of calf-length wool dresses in brown and grey that fit over them (or some flannel shifts and petticoats) with bits of greenery in muted colors and leaping wolves that she has tried not to make look too much like the stark sigil embroidered at the sleeves and collar. she is a little sheepish about both the large stack of cloaks and their practical nature as allen has told her that practical gifts aren't as nice, but she hopes they have enough sweets at the party to make up for it..........

So many gifts!!! Robyn greatly appreciates them, though she'll have to figure out how to pay Sansa back somehow.
