The Roof: Just before dawn, Friday

[vkandis-son.livejournal.com]

There were torches at the four corners of the roof, and candles placed at intervals around the edge, lending the rooftop a warm, welcoming glow. At one end was a wooden altar, a stone bowl sitting on top, and Karal was standing in front of it, hands clasped. He was extremely nervous, because he'd never performed this ceremony, and he'd changed, it, changed the words, and what if Vkandis didn't hear him and--

:Stop it.: Altra padded out of the shadows to sit next to the altar.

He glanced down, took a deep breath, and nodded, bowing his head in prayer while he waited for those he'd invited, hoping they'd come.( It's always darkest before the dawn. )

[ooc: Karal has invited certain people, but it is an open roof, albeit one in the cold pre-dawn hours, so it's not a closed post. Slowplay is the word of the day!

Oh, and plz wait for the OCD

OCD is go!]

First floor lobby: Friday afternoon

[fh_extras]

Sometime in the afternoon, a large tree was delivered to the first floor lobby. It was tall enough to brush the ceiling and, accordingly, there were a great number of moddable decorations delivered along with it.

There was a table set up along one wall with warm spiced cider (non-alcoholic) and plates of Christmas cookies, and a ladder leaned next to it, to help with getting those decorations right up the top.

In short, there was everything one would need to turn a pine tree into a Christmas tree!

Anyone who looked closely at the tree might notice an occasional rustling of branches or shivering of needles, which was very odd, given it was indoors with a complete lack of wind.

[ooc: Post open to all for decorating the tree. Posters were handwavily put up about town and school, letting people know. Mod your decorations and your cookies and have fun! There's *gasp* NO OCD.]
