LOG;

ENTRANCE | LOBBY
The entrance hall is sleek, white, pristine and sparkling. The decoration here bright and festive - it's difficult to miss the large pine tree in the entryway, and one of the security personnel will be taking your coats with a bow and smile (perhaps even without a bow and smile, doesn't everyone like the brooding and mysterious type?).

BALLROOM
Up a few flights of stairs or up an equally clean and white elevator is the ballroom, brightly lit and seemingly impossible with its darkened ceiling, twinkling with stars and the gentle fall of snow that disappears as it descends. Long, tasteful garlands of holly and festive greenery sparkle with a frost that isn't cold but melts at the touch. For light, candles float just high enough to be out of reach. Enjoy the panoramic view - the room's surrounded with glass windows. Take a seat and enjoy the music and dancing. Rock and roll and classic piano pieces. Jingle Bell Rock is strictly prohibited.

REFRESHMENTS | BAR
A little off to the side is a fully stocked bar and refreshment area, where waitresses and waiters carry glass trays of various drinks and appetizers. Enjoy a glass of champagne or plate of tiny finger sandwiches. Oddly, there are also donuts. Glazed.

VIP ACCESS
Only those who have purchased the superfly tricked-out cool people package are allowed in this quieter, exclusive bar.

POWDER ROOM
Even people in fancy dresses and expensive suits need to take a break, personal or otherwise. Down the hallway and to the right, you'll find the rest rooms. Don't worry, JARVIS won't be watching.

PLAZA
For those who wish to enjoy the crisp winter night air, the ballroom leads right out to the plaza. No, the palm trees may not be the most traditional, but the layers of decorative snow and pinpricks of light hidden in the large leaves are romantic enough, certainly. A glorious view of the City skyline, the night sky, and at the end of the night, the bright fireworks display.

FIREWORKS
At midnight, enjoy the bright shower of color and light as the Weasley twins orchestrate the final show, spelling words and manipulating trajectories in a way normal snap-crackle-pop fireworks cannot. Whether inside in the ballroom or outside on the plaza, it's impossible to miss. Santa Clause has been forbidden to make an appearance.

OTHER
Various hallways, the staircase, the elevators, and any other location are open for attendants to explore. Workshops and laboratories have been closed off for the event, but an empty room or three may have been forgotten for those who'd like a more private setting. JARVIS has his eye on you.

OOC
Feel free to be completely imaginative in setup, setting, surroundings, furniture, decoration, refreshments served, types of drinks served, music played, and anything else you can think of. Dance, be merry, and don't worry about the specifics. Put up an empty comment or a description of where your character will be and links to what he/she will be wearing or option C (the all-encompassing miscellaneous option). Action or prose is also up to you and your preferences ♥

Who's Jarvis?

[He doesn't sound too concerned, either way. He picks up their drinks and starts walking to the entrance of the main ballroom.]

[boutant]

A computer program with artificial intelligence.

[ She follows, not entirely sure George knows what any of what she just said means. ]

If something happens in the building, JARVIS knows about it.

[onlyholey]

What, and gets off on it? Kinky.

[boutant]

I don't think computer programs can get off on things. ...Probably. They can record things, though.

[onlyholey]

We don't have to, love. I'm sure we can hold out for the rest of the party.

[boutant]

[ That is so unconvincing when paired with that face. ]

Could I have my drink back for a moment?

[onlyholey]

[He hands it over, a curious look on his face.]

[boutant]

[ She takes her drink in one hand and grabs him with the other, tugging him closer before taking a sip. That was all she wanted, really. ]

[onlyholey]

[Oh. Why didn't she just say. The second she brings the glass away from her lips, he swoops in to replace it with a kiss.]

[boutant]

[ Careful not to spill her drink, she kisses back, loosely wrapping her arms around him. ]

[onlyholey]

[His hands are free, so they come to rest at her waist, holding on much more tightly.]

[boutant]

[ His tight grip has her suddenly wanting to get rid of the glass in her hands, but she isn't going to drop it. Instead, she breaks the kiss enough to shift, trying to put it on something nearby. ]

We're lucky we won't get thrown out for PDA.
