CHRISTMAS & NEW YEAR'S EVE PARTY!
Who: Everyone including you! And Maria.
What: Christmas/NYE party
Where: Wherever the Pole's designed party area is
When: December 26th, December 31nd/January 1st, or early January in general depending on the prompt you choose
Warnings/Notes:
- WARNING for alcohol, profanity, holiday induced depression (it's not in the prompts but I know it's coming lmao), and a NSFW friendly prompt that can be kept wholesome.
- NOTE: In order to keep things a bit tidier with Maria's NPCing I'm mostly gonna do mingle posts like this that involve her and only intervene in normal ones if requested (though it's safe to assume that she's always trying to spy). This serves as Maria's January post. You can opt out of interactions with her and just play with others.
CHRISTMAS & NEW YEAR'S EVE PARTY
The best thing to at the North Pole when you may not have made the most stellar first impressions? Throw a party to make everyone feel good! Maria has offered to help the locals organize some fun activities. Specifically, fun activities to do on Christmas Eve until midnight, and similarly on New Year's Eve.
Energetic and propositive, Maria has been preparing and decorating for days. If you ask, she claims that that sweet girl Jennifer gave her the idea. Those who interacted with Jennifer often might notice that she has been gone for a few days, but would you look at that, Maria can somehow make sure to have her pop up every now and then, shapeshift as her or Brown when she sees fit - anyone else who vanishes has the potential to have a similar fate, become an inconspicuous free addition to Maria's toolset for a new little game to get information for Kuk.
Either way, it's not like bad guys don't need to party as well - some party harder! -, and that alone is a good enough premise to get this charade going. So let's sip some eggnog by the fireplace and celebrate already, right?
1. Christmas party
Gingerbread cookies, lights, and stockings everywhere. "All I Want For Christmas Is You" by Mariah Carey blaring so loudly that retail workers within the radius of an entire galaxy have an immediate knee jerk reaction and flashbacks. The ugliest sweaters you will ever see (Maria herself was going to do the horrific reindeer nipple "sexy" sweater but she settled for this ) . Gifts everywhere. Basically, this party is perfect. There is a lot that you can do.
The tree could honestly use less decorations. It looks like if you put another ornament, it is going to explode. That doesn't stop the festive spirit, though. In fact there is a table with sharpies and a whole box full of ornaments that you can customize. Write your name or do a cool drawing and then put it on the tree!
An old but gold game: the grab things using your mouth game. With only a candy cane in your mouth, you have to pick up as many candy canes in the bowl as you can. You have one minute. Whoever picks up more wins!
This is actually a job masked as a Christmas themed game. There are so many gifts that aren't wrapped yet and need to be delivered by the morning (for those who strategically avoid people whose birthday is close to Christmas and want to give only one, late gift). How about we turn this into a game then? Here is how it works.
Divide your group into two or more teams.
Let them know that each member of the team will need to go from the Start line to the table where each player must wrap a gift, hand it to the gift inspector (you'll need one per team) to confirm it is wrapped properly – thumbs up, and the player returns to the start line to tag the next member of the team to wrap a gift. If the gift is wrapped poorly, thumbs down and they must re-wrap or adjust the wrapping on the gift until the Gift Inspector gives them the thumbs up. The first team to have everyone on their team to wrap a gift wins!
Christmas is not just about kids out there, it's for the guardians too! Perhaps this could be a good occasion to exchange gifts with your friends.
2. New Year's Eve
It's almost time. Does this have any meaning when you keep travelling through time, space, and whole universes? Probably not, then again if Christmas makes sense then so will this. There are balloons everywhere, some with a clock design which mirrors a huge clock wall decoration, with wooden clock needles to be moved around - some of the more chaotic drunkards might want to steal them in a fit boastfulness - manually as the hours pass. Wreaths, hats, and crowns are on display, and booze is everywhere. Have fun!
Resolutions can be a touchy subject for some people, but it can also bring great joy and positivity for others. Let's discuss them and write them down, collect them in mason jars and then see if we can fulfill them!
Since the Christmas party was a little bit more wholesome, it seemed fit to transfer all the due Christmas related more mischievous shenanigans to New Year's Eve. So, drinking game time it is. Watching a movie while there is a Santa hat on the corner of the TV and then one of the characters "wears" the hat? Have a drink! Made a whole customized drinking game based on your friend group? Uncouth. Rude, even. Which means it's an even more fun drinking game. Have a drink whenever Jake gives someone a nickname just to be an asshole, two when others fight back and call him Tinkles. You can literally make a drinking game about anything!
3...2...1...Happy new year! Some people raise their glass, some kiss whoever is closest to them, others immediately rush outside to set off fireworks and sparklers. Let's enjoy the beautiful night sky together and think about the future.
Hats, crowns, reindeer antlers, even basic ones like fake glasses or lips or moustaches, there are physical props for pictures of any kind. Not to mention of course, your typical instagram filters. It might be silly, but it will pay off to make some good memories.
3. Post NYE/January
You ate, you drank, you played, you partied with your friends. Glad you had fun, but who is going to clean up now?
Maria is so charitably going around in a sexy nurse outfit looking for anyone who might have exaggerated last night. She doesn't know how to provide actual nurse services, mind you, but she is here to tell you "Aww, poor baby" and give a little kissy to the boo boo to make it go away. Does it sound like a good idea? Well, you can join in and provide this service as well to a friend of choice.

The ugliest sweaters you will ever see (Maria herself was going to do the horrific reindeer nipple "sexy" sweater but she settled for this ) . Gifts everywhere. Basically, this party is perfect. There is a lot that you can do.
A) Customized ornaments
The tree could honestly use less decorations. It looks like if you put another ornament, it is going to explode. That doesn't stop the festive spirit, though. In fact there is a table with sharpies and a whole box full of ornaments that you can customize. Write your name or do a cool drawing and then put it on the tree!
B) Candy cane relay
An old but gold game: the grab things using your mouth game. With only a candy cane in your mouth, you have to pick up as many candy canes in the bowl as you can. You have one minute. Whoever picks up more wins!
C) Gift wrap relay

C) Fireworks & Sparklers
3...2...1...Happy new year! Some people raise their glass, some kiss whoever is closest to them, others immediately rush outside to set off fireworks and sparklers. Let's enjoy the beautiful night sky together and think about the future.
D) Photobooth
Hats, crowns, reindeer antlers, even basic ones like fake glasses or lips or moustaches, there are physical props for pictures of any kind. Not to mention of course, your typical instagram filters. It might be silly, but it will pay off to make some good memories.
3. Post NYE/January
A) Clean-up
You ate, you drank, you played, you partied with your friends. Glad you had fun, but who is going to clean up now?
B) Post booze & bruise intervention (for your NSFW friendly needs to be explored on your journals)
Maria is so charitably going around in a sexy nurse outfit looking for anyone who might have exaggerated last night. She doesn't know how to provide actual nurse services, mind you, but she is here to tell you "Aww, poor baby" and give a little kissy to the boo boo to make it go away.
