No Good Deed

When: Forward dated to New Year's Eve, obv.
Where: The gym
Rating: Not sure yet

When Kitty contacted Jean-Paul about doing a New Year's masquerade party, she hadn't been expecting her idea would balloon into what she was now witnessing. The gymnasium had been turned into a sort of winter wonderland. The tree had been brought in and was all lit up. Streamers in jeweled tones hung from the ceiling where disco balls spun and threw shards of rainbows everywhere. To one side of the room a sort of buffet table had been set up with every kind of finger food imaginable, as well as some more sensible eating options. There was punch, desserts, fruit, hot water for tea and hot chocolate, and all the paper and plastic good that could be needed. Several circular tables had been set up with chairs surrounding them, all matching the elegant color scheme of the room. The rest of the gym was reserved for the hired DJ and a nice open dance floor. ( Kitty was already excited, and no one else was even there yet. )

Who: Vic and Mr. Beaubier
What: Hanging out with Chinese and a movie
When: day before the day before Xmas
Where: rec room
Rating: PG, most likely

There were still a good few people around, really. People who had no family to travel to, or whose family lived too far away...or whose family didn't want them. Vic actually was going home for a bit, he just wasn't leaving until tomorrow since the day didn't really matter to him. He'd finished his packing, had a snowball war with some of the younger kids, eaten way too many Christmas cookies - the best side effect of being surrounded by other peoples' holiday celebrations ever - and generally bummed around. He might not care about Christmas one way or the other as a holiday, but he definitely liked the cookie baking frenzy it inspired in a lot of the people who did.

Now it was dinner time, though, which meant Chinese food and the best holiday movie ever. Fortunately there were few enough others around the place - and most of them currently eating dinner in the dining hall - that confiscating the rec room television wasn't really a problem. Vic popped the case open and slipped Zombieland into the dvd player before grabbing the remote - not with his tongue, since people got all irrationally skeeved by that - and flopping down on the sofa with his Dr. Pepper to wait for Mr. Beaubier and the food to show.
