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!]]

[Romelle was vaguely aware that there had been issues between some people at the date auction. She wasn't privy to all the details, but she really just wanted all her friends to actually like each other. So, she was trying. Plus, with Allura and Keith having been reset, they needed to meet more people here in PokeWorld as well. What better way, right?

Well, Allura was handling it, at least. Romelle had honestly forgotten Keith wasn't good with parties.

Either way, she spots Shinobu by the food, and, oh good! He came! She went over.]


I'm so glad you're here!

[Oh good. Someone he knows, who is not currently feuding with and/or avoiding someone else.]

Hello, Romelle.

[The smile was genuine, though, for all his nerves. Sometimes he really wished he could have been a social butterfly like seemingly all the other Fairest he knew.]

[Feuding? Why would someone do that~? No, Romelle wasn't taking sides over there. She considered most of the people at the party to be friends, and she hoped things would resolve soon enough, but she was respecting their positions for now.

In better news, though, was the fact that she had a friend here to talk to and hopefully get the chance to share a bit about her home with.]


I hope you're enjoying yourself.

[Heck, he wasn't the only less-than-social person at the party, but there were plenty of ways to enjoy it without having to push one's comfort boundaries.]
