A Cup of Kindness That We Share With Another (Voltron Holiday Party Log)

Who: The Pony Attack on Voltron House and YOU! Seriously, if you have Voltron CR, you're invited!
Where: Pony Attack on Voltron House, Four Island
When: Around December 10
Summary: The Voltrons have a human/Altean holiday party at their house, come on by!
Rating: PG to PG-13, will warn as necessary


After last year’s party turned out to be a smash hit, of course they’re hosting again. Invitations would’ve been sent out a few weeks beforehand, including offers to pay for Ubirds or personally ferry people to Four Island and plenty of guest rooms to sleep in, since they know it’s a long way to travel for a single party.

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. Occasionally you might catch Allura’s Primarina Celina quietly hum along, but only until she notices someone’s listening in.

Now that Hunk is here this year, the spread is amazing. Rich and spicy Kanto style curry, a milder vegetarian curry, or a Samoan chicken coconut curry to go over rice, mushroom and kabocha gratin, chop suey, skewers featuring coconut shrimp and pineapple or miso-glazed roasted veggies, musubi shaped to look like Pokéballs, mini quiches in savory and sweet flavors, among many other treats. The dessert section includes but is certainly not limited to a wide variety of Christmas cookies, fruit pieces dipped in chocolate and crushed sandwich cookies Hunk has dubbed meow chow, an adorable little Christmas cake, at least three different pies including a spectacular apple, and fa’ausi: a sweet, caramelized coconut bread pudding. Shiro is once again on drink duty, and the liquid refreshments feature mugs of coffee and hot chocolate, slow cookers of mulled wine and apple juice, and the return of the bright blue Grogory Day punch. And of course plenty of Pokémon treats to go around. And if guests want to contribute to the feast, they’re more than welcome!

(Also, Shiro’s Gallade Blue has taken up his idol’s sword and planted mistletoe here and there around the house. Do with this 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!

Don't say that.

[Unfortunately it's tough to compliment a guy you literally just met. It's not like he has any way to know what else he's good at. There are probably are other things, but he's clueless as to what they could be.]

Besides, food's a big part of it, right?

[Oh. It occurs to him after he says it how sad that sounded, and he hadn't truly meant to.]

Sorry, I've been missing home a lot lately. So I just have been trying to channel it into helping other people have a taste of their homes.

[And he's a good cook. It's the thing he always succeeds at.]
outofsynth: (you can leave it)

[personal profile] outofsynth 2022-12-22 01:22 am (UTC)(link)
Don't be sorry! That's really nice of you. Did you do all the food here?

[There's a lot. He's sure it can't have all been one person, right?]

Kind of. It's all my recipes, but the others helped out. And we kept Shiro out of the kitchen, so everything turned out fine.

Now that I've seen him actually set a salad on fire? It was for the best.

[He's sure Shiro could be taught to cook. But, y'know, not for Christmas yet. Save that for a normal cooking day.]

Shiro set a salad on fire?!

[But Shiro seems so cool, like he'd be good at anything!]

[He puts a hand on his shoulder, giving him a serious look.] Shiro is the bravest person I know, and an incredible leader.

But sometimes he needs protected from himself. Mostly in the kitchen.

[That parts a joke, but then Hunk genuinely looks serious.]

...And- well... depends on how much you're gonna be around. But there's something else you should know.

[Min-Gi tenses slightly at the hand on his shoulder, but he's fond of Shiro and looks genuinely concerned the seriousness of Hunk's expression. He leans in subconsciously to listen to him.]

I don't know how much I'll be around, but... Is he okay? Does he need help or something?
ironchef: (003)

Good lord this is late

Well... Shiro sometimes blames himself for things out of his control.

It's kinda hard to convince him not to feel guilty. So if you catch him feeling down about it and it seems to be sticking, let one of us or his boyfriend know okay?
outofsynth: (some love is just a lie of the soul)

It's fine, don't worry!

[personal profile] outofsynth 2023-01-18 01:53 pm (UTC)(link)
He does?

[Min-Gi isn't exactly the best when it comes to comforting people, so maybe it's for the best he knows who can help now if that does happen.]

Yeah. Of course. Hopefully I won't have to, but... if he does seem sad I'll let you know.
