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!]]

[Already, he's extending a hand for her mug, smiling as she steps forward. If nothing else, Shiro's always had a knack for hot drinks. Especially coffee and tea.]
Sure thing. Want anything in it?
[There's peppermint sticks, cinnamon sticks. And, of course, marshmallows.]
no subject
[Alteans had a weakness for sweets, it seemed.
She leaned on the counter, resting her chin on her hands.]
Are you enjoying the party?
no subject
[The secret is to put them into the mug first, add the cocoa, and then add more marshmallows. Nice melty layers.]
[How Shiro manages to pull this off, but no other cooking? We just don't know.]
Yeah, I am, actually. It's - [He pauses, and there's a smile at the corner of his mouth.] It's really good to have so many faces around here again.
no subject
I can certainly say it's been helpful for me to have familiar faces from home. Seeing others again is nice, too. [Meaning Keith and Allura, even if they didn't remember being in this place before. Part of her still hoped Hunk might return as well.]
And it's certainly more relaxed here than how things were happening back home.
[Not that she didn't worry from time to time, because they still had things to finish, but knowing that people left and returned and it didn't effect things at home helped a lot with that.]
no subject
[It'd be nice if Hunk were here. Even better, really. Things would feel complete again. Or, well. Almost. But dwelling on that hasn't helped for so long, why would it change anything now?]
No kidding. All the battles are pokemon... and they don't even get that hurt... Still kind of feels like a dream.
[He passes her the mug, just. Jam packed with marshmallows.] Careful - hot.
no subject
I'm happy I get to spend time with everyone without worrying about someone or something trying to kill us.
[As awkward as that might be, it was still true. They had spent a lot of time on the run while trying to get back to Earth.]
It's a very nice break.
no subject
[More reason to have little gatherings like this one. Where nothing huge exploded and Team Rocket didn't raid the place.]
But - yeah. It's really comfortable here. Never thought I'd see the day sometimes.
no subject
I think... I think I'll be okay with it now. It was certainly a first time experience, but, as long as I'm not alone, then we can handle anything together.
[She gave a soft blow across the surface of her drink and took a careful sip, humming a little in appreciation for the milky chocolate goodness loaded with sweet melty marshmallows. Alteans definitely had a sweet tooth.]
This is delicious, Shiro. Thank you.
[Grogery Day compliment traditions or not, it really was yummy.]
no subject
[He grins, though.]
I think this is the only time you'll ever get to say that.
[Since you know. Him and cooking...]
no subject
That's not your fault, Shiro. You're still Shiro, and much like the one I know back home. Kind, caring, supportive. [She smiled. Even if this was a Grogery Day party, her compliments weren't lightly tossed into the conversation.] You're a good person, Shiro. I'm glad to know you... here and back home.
no subject
[But instead of words, what he does is step forward, and carefully pull her into a hug. He doesn't want her to spill the cocoa after all.]
Thank you, Romelle. I'm glad to know you, too.
no subject
Thank you.
no subject
Any time.
