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!]]

[Shiro's gaze lifts almost immediately. And there's gratitude in his eyes. All over his features. He doesn't say 'thanks' outright, but it's crystal clear.]

Hah, yeah. But I wish he'd take after your kid more than any of mine.

[The team is definitely like his kids. Most of them. Or his little brother, depending on the day.]

[Oh thank fuck he did it]

I can't argue with that, Chip is pretty great. But, every kid is gonna have their own strengths and their own problems. I think you're handling Blue's pretty well, all things considered.
shiro2hero: (maybe he's born with it)

[Way to go, Grant!!]

You know, you're not wrong. And, thank you. Means a lot to hear you say that.
woofdad: nice (Default)

[personal profile] woofdad 2022-02-21 03:20 am (UTC)(link)
I'm almost always not wrong. ...Except for when I'm just... so, incredibly wrong. [Dear god. What was he trying to accomplish with those sentences?]

But, I, uh-- yeah, no problem. I mean, I said it because it's true, y'know? And I'm... glad you're glad to hear it.
shiro2hero: (HAHA dad jokes are great)

[personal profile] shiro2hero 2022-02-21 06:21 am (UTC)(link)
[He just smiles, with a faint edge of tiredness around the edges. And clasps Grant on the shoulder.]

We sound... ridiculous.
woofdad: nice (Default)

[personal profile] woofdad 2022-03-11 03:35 am (UTC)(link)
[Grant laughs quietly, and... oh, yep, after all this his face still gets a little warm when Shiro touches his shoulder.] Oh, we have been sounding ridiculous. The price we pay for, uh... something, I guess? Maybe wearing ourselves out going in circles.
shiro2hero: (oops accidentally charming)

[personal profile] shiro2hero 2022-03-11 06:06 am (UTC)(link)
Spinning out of control?

[Get it Grant? Spinning? Circles? He's hilarious.]

At least no one's recording.

Ha. Yeah.

[He lets out a breath, trying to... re-compose himself. Again. How many times has he had to do that tonight?] I should probably go, before we... get going again. But, I'm... I'm really glad I got to see you.
shiro2hero: (im so proud of u nerd)

[personal profile] shiro2hero 2022-03-14 05:51 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. Me too.

[He reaches out, offering a hand. Like he didn't just kiss the guy.]

Get that cake to Chip before it gets warm.
