Hope Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 đâ¨â¤ď¸đâ¨â¤ď¸đ It was a mismatched group that arrived, any number of them barely knew (or were not particularly friendly with) the other. But here they all were, gathered about the Christmas tree with a hearty dosing of Christmas spirits... "Ho ho ho...." the Santa drew their attention, and one by one he passed out the assorted gives from his plush (because everything in AoI is ott) Santa sack.  OOC: mingle and admire your own and others gifts if you like  Merry Christmas!    Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope Posted December 22, 2020 Author Share Posted December 22, 2020 Quote Lady Lucas While at the risk of her already possessing such an efficient tool of organisation, here was a finely crafted and decorated in silver filigree Chatelaine for wearing upon her belt. The accessories supplied being scissors (fashioned like a bird), a silver covered notebook with pencil, a thimble, a sheath containing a needle and length of plain thread, and a small whistle. It was the sort of set one might add more to easily. Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darlene Hamilton Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 Briefly Darleneâs eyes narrowed as she looked side to side, wondering who in this party was âontoâ her; the warning from Elizabeth Monck echoed hauntingly in her mind. âOh, these will be handy, for my sewing.â She acted totally chill. It was hardly the first time sheâd experienced Christmas Danger, and frankly, a part of her even relished it. Her fellow partygoers were now draped in a glamour of excitement; possible threats, cloak and dagger suspects - all except her loveable Lord Langdon of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davina Wellsley Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 She wasn't in a particular Festive mood but nonetheless had arrived. Eyed her fellow attendess with some curiousness as she mingled. Her gift was a thing thoughtful as well as welcom'd. How pretty were the colors and they were ones she herself did not have. now who amongest the Company would have thought of me ..... So her selective gazing at each began. Lingering and assessing how well she knew them and they knew her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
