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!]]

[Jaskier wasn't wrong about her blushing being complimentary to her- WOAH THERE, BUDDY. Keith stopped that line of thought. He still wasn't sure what Allura remembered and how things were between her and Lance at her point in time back home, and he didn't know if she was okay yet with him being married to Pidge, and Keith himself had started pushing himself along with the idea that she wasn't interested in him back home, and...

Why? Why was this even a thing? Over a stupid sprig of mistletoe and someone deciding to continue teasing them about it. Apparently, just moving slightly away to where he might not be immediately visible to Jaskier anymore, but could still hear what was going on hadn't worked. Keith took a deep breath and huffed, deciding it was time to say something.

He turned and came back.]


Hey, Allura. Who's your friend?

[Keith nodded, putting his hand out to the bard.]

Nice to meet you.

[His grip was firm normally, and he wasn't going to try to make a point at the moment, but Jaskier might notice the skin felt a little abnormally rough, like a scar that was barely visible.]

[The way Keith says "friend" sure gives Jaskier a feeling of deja vu, and suddenly his instincts tell him he probably doesn't want Felix and Keith in the same room.

Ah, but things only get better practically squeak like a mouse when Keith shows up. That... that sure was a chain of reactions. Jaskier looks between them a couple of times and then throws his head and laughs, but it isn't mocking. Obviously, something has made him very happy.]


Ohohohoho, this is delightful. Well met, Paladin Keith. [He says it like that on purpose, just to indicate yes, he's heard of him. Through multiple sources. He shakes Keith's hand but doesn't give too much thought to the roughness - he's met plenty of swordmen, one touches him every night, and his own hand has calloused fingertips because of all the string instrument playing.] Jaskier of Oxenfurt, friend of Shiro but also Lance. I can see now what he meant about the- [He waves his hand at the base of his own neck.] -hair.

[No matter how much it happened that people knew of him before he actually met them, Keith just was likely to never like it. Between that, the laugh, and the comment about his hair, Keith's free hand clenched into a fist as he attempted to hold down his temper for Allura's sake. This was her party. He wasn't going to ruin it for her.

He'd almost already done that once back home by almost derailing a coalition meeting when he freaked out at everyone because Shiro was missing and they only had four Paladins. Thankfully, Hunk's food had been a good distraction away from his temper tantrum...]


Oh, yeah? Must have been one heck of a challenge.

[His tone was flat and measured. Definitely holding back.]
