Summary; Glinda decides that what the City needs is a good end-of-the-year gala.
Log;

It was almost 8 o'clock and everything had been set up.

Rangiku and Hotaru had strung up red, white, and silver streamers everywhere and several buffet tables were scattered throughout the area. Someone had suggested the hanging of mistletoe. Glinda didn’t know what its purpose was, but it was so pretty, so she had Rangiku add a few sprigs here and there.

Glinda had already briefed those who had volunteered to act as security. They were to enjoy the party, of course, but if they saw anyone causing trouble, it was up to them to handle it. The fireworks team had brought a lot of pyrotechnics. Glinda prayed they knew what they were doing. And Tayuya was off to the side, warming up.

Glinda had been shocked to see the young girl show up at all, let alone in a dress. As she had promised Glinda, the dress wasn't at all obscene. Glinda smoothed a non-existent wrinkle from her own dress and put a hand to her heart. She was nervous, but tried to reassure herself that everything would be perfect.

She checked the time. 8 o'clock. Time for everyone to arrive...



After the fireworks and before the final dance, Glinda stands on a platform at the front of the crowd. Using a holographic projector set up by Cobray, she makes an announcement to the crowd...

Fellow Citizens... I wanted to thank you all for being here. This has been one of the best nights of my life, and I hope each of you can say the same. It was a lot of work to plan this, but I can't take all the credit. This place is so beautiful thanks to Rangiku and Hotaru. Thank you to Sanji and everyone else who worked so hard on the buffet. I'm sure everyone agrees it was all delicious! To my security team, you did wonderfully. Everything went off without a hitch, thanks to you. Shizune, the gift exchange was wonderfully done. Tayuya, the music was beautiful, and so are you. It warms my heart to see you dressed like a lady. And it's nice to see you use that flute for something other than making threats. Thanks also to the pyrotechnics team. I'm glad you knew what you were doing. If I forgot anyone, I'm sorry. But know I'm grateful for all you've done!

Well, the hour is late, and we only have time for one last dance. But though this is the end of the night, don’t think this is the end of the holiday festivities. Motoko and I have a concert in the works for later this month. Anyone who would like to audition should see Motoko or myself to sign up. Tayuya, if you will...



{ooc: Log is open, everyone GO!~ I hope you all fun. My thanks go out to Shizune-mun for coming up with the gift exchange, as well as setting it up. ♥ to you!

A note; Glinda's announcement comes just after the fireworks and just before the final dance... so sometime after midnight. Reference to it whenever you want. Thanks to Cobray-mun for that idea. Also, it is not necessary to interact in this thread. Start your own in your journals, just like with the snowball fight if you’d like. Also, it is also not necessary to interact with Glinda if you don’t want to. However, if you do want to, this is the best place, as I won’t be starting my own thread in her journal.

I can't guarantee I'll be home all day. Today is the school band concert and I promised a friend I’d go. But, if anyone needs me, my AIM is christinemasque and my email is phantom.masque98@gmail.com . I believe I might be able to answer email through my cell phone, so if it's urgent, that's the best way to reach me. But, I don't think any problems should arise. *crosses fingers* See you all at the party!~

Oh, and there will be more info on the aforementioned concert later in Poly-Extra}

Mulder had seen all matter of unusual in his line of work, so he hoped, anyway, that his practiced calm was what was showing on his face. Scully had always teased him when he got 'that look' after all when something floored him.
His face remained calm enough, but his voice actually cracked, like a teen with runaway hormones. ""
He cleared his throat, hoping to get his baritone back. "So. come to things like this often?"

"Nope! This is my first time! The foods good though," she said, keeping the amusement off her face, and replacing it with a friendly, interested expression. Pantalaimon was snickering.

"Have you been to this kind of party before, Mr. Mulder?" she asked.

[m1jac0ge0.livejournal.com]

"Once. When I was back in the academy," someone with a tray of goodies went by, and Mulder reached out to snag a few, "turned out though someone in the narcotics division decided to spike the ginger ale with PCP. It was a pity; I wound up having to do crowd control; ended up babysitting the homicide department's chief's kid sister. I'd been really hoping to get to patrol the outside perimeter instead; there was supposed to be an almost unobscured meteor shower visible with the naked eye in the quadrant closest to the southern cross."

Lyra blinked. She didn't really understand what he'd said- someone had put something in the drinks, and he'd had to stay inside when he wanted to see a meteor shower.

"What kind of academy?" she asked, grabbing a few treats for herself.

[m1jac0ge0.livejournal.com]

"Standard police stuff. They make you go through it before you can join the FBI. I didn't have exactly the shining record academia wise, but... perserverance paid off."

[lyra-of-dust.livejournal.com]

"Oh, that's what you meant," Lyra said, "A meteor shower... Are you interested in celestial geography? That's an odd hobby for a detective."

Lyra watched Mr. Mulder with as much interest as she could muster, while Pantalaimon kept an eye on the crowd.

"Not so much the astronomy as the things that don't belong. Still. How can you know what you're looking for if you don't know what's supposed to be out there?" Mulder sounded amused.

[lyra-of-dust.livejournal.com]

Lyra was confused, "things that don't belong?" Mulder now had her and her dæmon's full attention.

[m1jac0ge0.livejournal.com]

"Yeah..." Mulder sort of trailed off.

There were two people who just seemed a bit off to him.
Call it a hunch; he hadn't been known among the FBI as 'Spooky' for nothing.
Still. There was no sign of the cult's leader, and one couldn't just go on instincts...
