Hello all, we got a great turnout this year! Your mods are now working on assignments and should send them out early next week, definitely by Nov. 24. Thanks to everyone for joining đ
In the meantime, you can dig around in the archives for inspiration, if you like!
Some patrons requested a ballet!AU and a nutcracker!AU around Christmas and so this happened~
Will is a bad tempered and antisocial but extremely talented up and coming dancer who is cast as the Rat King in a high-end short run of the Nutcracker; Hannibal is a well established and skilled dancer who agrees to take the role of Nutcracker Prince for charity despite having little respect for and interest in the production⌠until he sees Will dance, of course~
I donât know anything about ballet and I had to look at lots of specific reference to draw this and itâs still not accurate lol, forgive me~~
Some years they stay together, if theyâve gathered for the holidays leading up to New Yearâs Eve, I would think at someoneâs home that can accommodate a large group or they rent a house somewhere. Whoever is hosting sends out the fanciest invitations, each year the current host tries to one-up the previous yearâs card đ
Iâd imagine a gathering would look smtg like this, black-tie affair at times (but theyâd bring casual clothes, too):
And they do the stuff they normally do when they gather:
Coven Game Night where some fool challenges Louis to cards and gets their ass handed back to them, even if/when they attempt to cheat
exchanging gifts – Daniel and Lestat compete in giving the best gag gifts.Â
thereâs teasing each other about all the VC books, from the oldest to the most recent âSo that ghostwriter of yours-â âDONâT YOU START WITH ME, ARMAND.â
Sharing pics theyâve taken from their yearâs travels
Watching movies together in fancy screening rooms with couches, blankets, and pillows
improvised jam sessions for the musicians in the group
artsy sessions for the artistic ones in the group, although they do invite everyone, and Gabrielle has done a few gorgeous fingerpaintings that Lestat treasures
dancing to the improvised music or someone DJâing recorded music
BONFIRE and/or FIREWORKS (outside tho!)
Inviting very special mortal friends over for âdrinks,â wherein the mortals are aware and consent to get drunk and then share đ
marriage counseling (come on, cabin fever sets in and at least one pairing gets into a fight every time).
shameless flirting (sometimes causes the fighting that needs marriage counseling)
Other years, they go their separate ways and celebrate NYE on their home territory, or in smaller groupings.
