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!]]

Keith looked over when he heard someone speak.

"Hm? Oh." He nodded. "Uh, yeah. It's me." Yup. Keith remembered faces. He wasn't all that great with names, though. "You're uh... Felix?"

Felix nods. He's also much better with faces than names. "And you're...Keith." That sounds right.

"I suspect you enjoy parties about as much as I do." Which is to say, he doesn't.

Keith nodded as well.

As for parties...

"They're... okaaayy?" He'd been slowly getting used to formal things, stuff he had to attend because he was the Black Paladin of Voltron... but, no. He didn't really like them. He'd rather do something else with his time. "I'm mostly here because it's my friends running it."

"Heh. A familiar sentiment." He turns to lean back on his elbows against the porch railing. "It's strange. Most people I've met here are the only ones from their own worlds, or one of perhaps two or three. But it seems that you and I have both been more fortunate."

At least until their friends and loved ones start vanishing. But there's no need to bring that up.

"Yeah," Keith noted that. "I mean, it's certainly helped with adjusting to have some familiar faces around. I don't know if it would have been easy if I was here on my own." It definitely wouldn't have. Not that Keith couldn't handle being on his own. He was used to it, but he was willing to admit now that he did better when he had people around him that he knew.
