it's the solstice
Who: Mako, Wu, & close CR
What: They might be in a different world, but the solstice is the solstice, and that means it's time to feed everyone you care about, if you're Mako
When: Night of December 21st
Where: Mako and Wu's loft above the Raccoon Room
Content warnings: Sadness from potential memory-share stuff, homesickness, mentions of Mako and Bo's dead parents

If you have close CR with Mako or Wu, in the days leading up to the Winter Solstice—December 21st—you may have gotten a small text invite in your inbox. A few simple lines inviting you to the Raccoon Room on the night of the 21st for dinner "because it's the solstice." Normally the Raccoon Room is closed early in the week, but on the 21st they've opened it up.
They're actually having people over in the loft above the Raccoon Room, and their living space is decked out in lanterns and candles to keep out the long darkness. Snow falls quietly outside, but in here it's warm and it smells like ginger and pepper. Wu's put on a few scratchy records in the background. Here and there, Winter Mournings are hung, not quite out of reach. It's very easy to accidentally or purposefully touch one.
If anyone comes in early enough, Mako is still at the counter with his sleeves rolled up, rolling dumplings, covered in rice flour. Maybe help him cook? He's looking better than he was early in the month: his skin is the correct pallor without that odd gray cast, and there's no smoke rolling off his body, so that... has to be good!
For the later arrivals, Mako's made dinner, which means hot tangyuan in gingery broth, an entire bowl of mushroom noodles for sharing, and a simmering pot of broth for people to cook things in, as well as a lot of a tangy sauce that Mako gets kind of cagey about when people try. Sit down, enjoy some hot pot! It's a time to be together, after all.
[ ooc: tag around, top-level, have a good time! ]

There has to be a way to stop it. Right? [ He taps his foot against the ground ] This happens, here! There have to be things we can do.
[ Cures he can buy. Money will solve it. Right? ]

I don't know, I don't know. I've been trying all kinds of stuff to make him feel better, but nothing's been working.
no subject
That's not good. I, I'm really worried about him. I don't want him to, to turn. [ Into a monster ] What can we do?!
no subject
[He's really reaching, here. This is all very new to him, and he isn't exactly the best at coming up with solutions that don't involve stabbing.]
no subject
[ Which is really the opposite of what he did in Deerington. He knew so much about Earth, and now he knows nothing about Deer Country ]
Well, at least we can enjoy the party. They're both here. It has to be good for them.
no subject
[Apparently that was a huge mistake. He's regretting not having the foresight to do some research before this all happened.]
I hope it is. There's tasty food here, and all their friends, so it has to be good for 'em.
no subject
[ He doesn't know what else to do, at least. He feels at a loss, wanting so desperately to help and not knowing how. It hurts, in a new way for him, in a way that's only about someone else, a helplessness that money or power or anything can't solve a problem. ]
no subject
We just gotta see how the rest of the night goes. [He fidgets with his hands a little.] I can let you know how he's doing tomorrow. If this helped at all.
