The World Has Got a Smile Today, the World Has Got a Glow (Voltron Holiday Party Log)
Who: The Attack on Voltron House and YOU! Seriously, if you have Voltron CR, you're invited!
Where: Attack on Voltron House, Four Island
When: Around December 11
Summary: The Voltrons have a human/Altean holiday party at their house, come on by!
Rating: PG to PG-13, will warn as necessary
When Shiro proposed celebrating Grogory Day back at the harvest festival, Allura had honestly been touched by the suggestion, even more so when the rest of the household agreed. (Especially coming from Keith and Pidge, who liked their peace and quiet.) So after sitting down with a calendar and making a graphing calculator earn its keep, Allura determined that Grogory Day would be about December 8th. Of course, that was a weekday, so the invitations she sends out a few weeks beforehand (to give people time for travel) say it’s that Saturday evening instead. (And given the number of high-level trainers in the house, guests are more than welcome to request a ride.) And since it seems to be the main Earth holiday, why not make it an early Christmas party, too?
When people arrive, the spacious beach house is decked out with lights, mostly in shades of blue, and the interior beckons people to come out of the brisk and damp sub-tropic air, warm and bright and spacious (which it needs to be with the possible crowds), soft and cheery Poké-holiday music winding through the rooms, with interludes from Jaskier and his Wigglytuff throughout the evening.
As for refreshments, while Hunk might not be here, the non-Shiro members of the household are able to set out a decent spread from all their cultures. Lance contributes a host of Cuban recipes from golden brown tostones and empanadas, to roasted pernil with juicy meat draped in crispy skin, served with rice and black beans. A wintery gratin filled with mushrooms and kabocha squash, baked Brie topped with a rosehip jam in lieu of juniberries and wrapped in puff pastry, an assortment of Christmas cookies (including but certainly not limited to gingerbread and peanut butter blossoms), and an island of drinks featuring mugs of warm coffee, glasses of sweet coquito, slow cookers of mulled berry wine and apple juice, and a bowl with an extremely blue punch. And treats for the Pokémon as well, naturally. Of course, if guests want to contribute to the feast, they’re more than welcome!
(Also, at some point in the evening, Lance might have stolen Shiro's Gallade to help plant mistletoe here and there. Do with this information what you will.)
So come, eat, drink, mingle with old friends and make some new ones! And enjoy the night, no matter which holiday you’ve come to celebrate!
[[OOC: This is a mingle log, so feel free to make your own top-levels and such, and have fun!]]

No problem - seemed like a good chance to meet new arrivals, and Shiro and I haven't met up in person for a bit, anyway. [He says that as if he didn't spend a while going back and forth on whether to stop by, but this is the decision he made, and so far he's happy with it.]
no subject
Indeed. [Her smile softens.] But Shiro was kind enough to suggest we celebrate Altean holidays as well, and Grogory Day's "date" happened to line up surprisingly well.
[Seriously, she's extremely grateful that Shiro's done so much to make her feel settled here... like she has something like a permanent home for the first time in too long.]
And precisely. And it is a good chance for me to meet more people as well.
[Including people who clearly care about her friends. Platonically. Totally just platonically.]
no subject
Yeah! I hope you've been able to make some good connections tonight.
no subject
[Riiiiiiight.]
It's all right; the short version is my ancestor King Grogory the Infirm brokered a peace treaty between Altea and the neighboring planet of Krithacia. We celebrate by offering hospitality and compliments to others, especially strangers and new acquaintances.
[Also a good time for settling bitter feelings, buuuuuut she won't be pushy about that part unless it becomes necessary.]
And thank you. It seems I've made one more good connection, at least.
no subject
[And... yeah, actually, he makes the mental connection to the irony of his situation with some of Allura's teammates himself. But, unfortunately, he's just. Not sure he's got it in him to deal with that. Sorry, alien traditions.]
Same here. Glad I did end up coming by!
