Who: Open to Everyone!
What: Christmas party in the Tower, and Secret Santa gift exchange.
When: from now until Dec 31st.



The commons on floor thirty-nine was all decked out for the holidays as overseen by Darcy, right down to the food and drinks (both alcoholic and non). It's a time to enjoy the company of friends while overlooking the twinkling lights of the city below.

There's a sign on the door that Secret Santa gifts will be passed out halfway through the party, courtesy of Dr. Strange's portals. A small footnote states that he doesn't know who the gift givers are, since only a name tag for the recipient is on each package.

(ooc: Gifts will be handed out after 12/15, so please email by then so I can post them under their own header. 💖 This is a mandatory gamewide plot, but we have all month to finish: it's low impact, five tags each character for A.C. and they don't have to be long tags either. Make sure to mark in the subject if it's Open or Closed threading. Have fun! 🎁🎄)

Admittedly, Ned had a few 'ugly Christmas sweaters' to choose from, but he ultimately picked his favourite from the batch which was a Star Wars sweater. He was looking forward to the party and hanging out with the Avengers was definitely getting easier. It also helped he had more friends around which meant that if and when things got awkward or boring, he could go find one of them and they could save the day. He was a little nervous about the gift-giving part. He hoped Loki liked it. Thankfully his friends had helped him with that too.

Things were good. It also helped that the world wasn't in impending danger. Hopefully it would stay that way for a long time. With a small plate of goodies in his hand, he was munching away while watching people trickle in for the party. In all of his anticipation, Ned had gotten there a little early.

Ned and Illyana

Illyana wasn't sure what the holiday spirit was supposed to feel like, exactly - a day you spent wrapped up in blankets, jam-packed with festive films? Presents? Sugar cookies? Something like that? She would try her best to maintain that spirit, going with the flow - either way, she liked eating and figured that there would be plenty of that going on at this party.

She'd already dropped off her Secret Santa present (far too easy to pick out, but she had fun with it) and showed up in her ugly sweater, which was more of a dress that caressed the shape of her decently enough - she was able to move sinuously in it, and her heels were bright red which also counted as something festive too. Probably.

"Hello, date," she appeared next to Ned and grinned. "Nice sweater. How are the snacks so far?" That was how she judged a party - whether or not the finger foods were decent.

Thor and Open [multiples welcome!]

Thor had spent a few wintertimes on Midgard for the holidays, but this might have been the first time he'd ever been invited to a Christmas party. He did a little research into what normally transpired during these events, and ended up purchasing a Christmas Sweater. He didn't completely understand the custom, but the thing was warm and soft. He quite liked it.

He arrived to Stark's tower, and took a few minutes to wander the floor, looking at the decorations. There was something absolutely magical about wintertime on Midgard--the lights! The music! Even though there was no snow in San Francisco, it was still a joy to be there surrounded by friends, trees, lights, and listening to carols. Then Thor turned to greet whoever was around with a hearty laugh and a warm smile.

Parties still weren't Bruce's thing, but he knew that there was no way Darcy or Tony would let him get away with skipping this one, so he was there, wearing a festive shirt and drinking a cup of eggnog.

He walked up behind Thor and clapped his friend on the shoulder. "Merry Christmas, Thor," he said. "I hope you're enjoying yourself."

Sharon and Open [multiples welcome!]

It'd been a while since Sharon had celebrated Christmas for real. All of her Christmases in Madripoor had been fairly lonely affairs, as they didn't really celebrate the holiday... at least, not the way Sharon had grown up celebrating it. So she spent the last few Christmases watching Christmas movies alone in her flat in Hightown, drinking egg nog that was mostly brandy.

This year, though, things were different. She had friends at Stark Tower. She had allies and confidants. While she still had her secrets (and who didn't?) at least she was surrounded by people she trusted. People who were excited to celebrate with her. People who seemed to care where she was and how her life was going.

Sharon arrived to the party in good spirits. This was a new year, a new Christmas, and she was looking forward to good food and good company.

Sharon and Mobius
[info]jetskiing
2021-12-13 12:14 am UTC (link)
Wintertime in San Francisco wasn't particularly cold - it was cold very rarely, with fog even more rare than that; still, he felt the vibe of the holidays and the comfortable cold, reminiscent of sheets freshly laid down, that came along with it all. That pleasant chill, something that made you want to wrap yourself in a blanket. He was enjoying this season and knew he'd enjoy the party too. Probably.

Hopefully it wouldn't all go to hell like the Asgardian feast, but. Mobius would be more prepared this time - with TemPad and baton. Never knew when you needed to vaporize someone or something, providing a one-way ticket to the Void.

He went with the beauty is in the eye of the beholder Christmas sweater as well, like many of the guests, pairing it with pressed slacks, and hopefully he wouldn't embarrass Sharon when he came up to her and slid an arm around her to anchor himself in and kiss the top of her head. "No mistletoe yet, but I'm sure we can find some," was his greeting.

Parties were right up Kate's alley. After all the crazy over the past few months (waking up in a strange place, meeting the tween versions of her friends, demons attacking on Halloween, going to Asgard for a Harvest party, then that party being interrupted by Dark Elf assasin thingys?) Kate was really looking forward to taking it easy with friends. At least, with friendly people. Kate had spent so much time running around, she hadn't spent a lot of time working on her friendships here. That was going to change here and now. She was going to spend the night hanging out with people, making connections, and letting loose... hopefully without any violence interrupting their good time.

Kate and T'Challa
[info]kingly
2021-12-13 12:21 am UTC (link)
T'Challa had attended a similar party one of the years prior - he'd done the Secret Santa gift exchange as well, and found it to be delightful. This year was no exception - he'd added his gift to the rest, ready to be presented whenever it was the right time for that part of the evening, and then he went to mingle and enjoy some food and drinks, maybe dance a little too.

For once, he was not wearing anything necessarily connected to the styles of Wakanda - nothing Afropunk, or anything that draped around him in a kingly sort of way, what moved around him elegantly as he walked through the marketplace. No, it was just a regular black suit with a shimmering tie, a celestial design. He smiled when he saw Kate.

"Hello there," he greeted happily. "Funny running into you again, at one of these events." Truthfully, he had hoped he would.

After ensuring that everything was running smoothly, Darcy grabbed herself a glass of wine and began to mingle with her party guests. She was wearing a dress that she thought was appropriate for the evening with a pair of knee high black boots.

She was excited for the Secret Santa exchange and hoped that everyone would like whatever presents they received.

Thor had been into the Asgardian ale, and was red-cheeked and happy by the time he ran into Darcy. A little sloppy but not drunk, he wore a bright grin and approached to wrap his gigantic arms around her in greeting.

"Darcy! My dear friend, it is so good to see you! How are you? How are you enjoying the yuletide??"

Secret Santa deliveries (deliveries only)

Every person has a portal open nearby and a gift is left for them.

Because it's Secret Santa, Dr. Strange doesn't know who the gift givers are. He's delivering them based on the name tags on each gift.
