"I don't know if there'll be snow..."
Who: Open!
What: A Hallway Holiday Gathering!
Where: Naea's apartment's open!
When: December 18, 2010 @ around 7:00 p.m.
Warnings: Well. Anything can happen here. You know this.
Notes: There's drinks and food and music. It's hard to go wrong.

While "Marshmallow World" by Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin was playing on her laptop (Viva Pandora!), she was finishing up the Swedish meatballs (that she so rarely ate, but it was her mother's recipe and it was one of the very few meat items she did enjoy) and singing along with the song with a bounce in her step. For all that had fallen on her in the past year, Naea knew things could be so much worse and it was no reason to take away some of that holiday spirit. She wanted to celebrate all the good that had been and that would be. Since moving into Pax, she'd made great friends--more than she'd ever known. She would be getting her diploma in a matter of weeks, now. She felt so lucky. Fun and happy must be had.

Small cafe-style fold-type tables were set up along the hallway with some folding chairs peppered here and there as well as in her small apartment (She promised Neil, her boss, a pan of fudge for the lending). Lights were strung around some of the table legs and around her door and wherever she could get them up. Cold appetizers sat on those tables in the hall; hot ones were left in her kitchen to stay that way. Soda and spirits were available (her boss was generous, in addition to the lovely Kami). There were cookies and candy and Gypsy was tucked away safely in Pru's place.

Rare was the occasion that Naea would dress up. And tonight, with some help from Kami, she certainly did. She felt pretty and, well feminine. Not that she had never before any other time in her life, but tonight was different somehow. The lace-up back of her dress felt... sexy. Naea wasn't entirely sure what this shindig would bring tonight, but she knew that no matter what, she would be having fun.

Ren just grinned a little at her. She must have worried that he was a picky eater. It couldn't be further from the truth. Ren had always made a point to try everything at least once. He maybe hopeless in the kitchen, but he did appreciate a good meal. And of course he had a really good metabolism so he had never really cared about moderation too much or portion size really.

"Heh, I'll try a little bit of everything. How does that sound?" He turned from her and grabbed a plate and started piling things onto his plate as started to eat what looked like a finger sandwich of sorts. "So what did you make?"

"Dessert." Kami grinned as she reached past him to snag a piece of celery. Celery? Who brought that? Winking, she nibbled delicately on the crisp vegetable. She kept to his side like a good little hostess, watching Ren fill his plate with all manner of treats. After the seventh item found its way onto the increasingly crowded plate, Kami giggled and again touched her hand briefly to his forearm. "Here, you're going to overload that one," she cautioned. "We didn't spring for the fancy Dixie stuff."

Turning on her heel, she retrieved a second plate and held it out in a manner that clearly indicate she would carry if he cared to load. "And I made pretty much all of the desserts," she added.
