Hey guys! So, as I stated in the 'shout box' below, I think, as a Christmas-y/New Years type event, we could create a Christmas Party Celebration thread/RP type thing! This could be a light-hearted type RP, nothing too serious, just cool little character interactions and development between our characters, just having them talk amongst each other, perhaps chatting away on matters of personal interest, christmas-tales, alien-christmas-tales, war stories, deep reflections on the year, and just general chit-chat! Of course, as with any RP there is a matter of logistics, and in this thread only two main points would have to be addressed: A. The location of said party and B. How it is we are going to get our characters involved. Regarding both points, I have a few thoughts in mind already as to the location and the character involvement of this RP. 1. A Christmas Gathering/Party type thing in my main character's (Jacob) sea-side residence. This of course, I think, would be my top, preferred, location for such a thread, being that his residence has this general 'classic' Christmas-y feel. Being on Earth, way up north from Seattle-Vancouver, in this little secluded wintery-type forested area. It'd also be interesting to see our characters interact in a location that doesn't look entirely futuristic or sci-fi, but somewhat contemporary! Not that it's completely out of place or anything, but, it's just an interesting change in relative scenery! 2. The same idea, with the Christmas gathering thing, except, well, instead of being set on Earth, having it set on the Citadel in Jacob's newly acquired apartment on the Presidium, that, or some hotel somewhere. With regards to both of these two locales, I do think that the 'reason' and the 'justification' behind the characters being there would stem from Jacob's personal invites, with him inviting people he knows personally for this little end of the year type party. Though, as a result of this, his immediate friends would be able to invite some of their other friends and acquaintances as well, thus resulting in the web of friends dragging basically, almost any existing character in. Or at least, giving them a reason/justification to do so. What do you guys think of this idea? Are you guys up for a New Years/Christmas type event? Any characters interested in joining this? Any ideas to improved/critique here? Let me know! Because I myself am pretty excited for this!

While our characters are not acquainted yet, I like the idea. If Jacob actually sends Daia an invite and a_prom is in too, I am sure we can come up with some twist.

I quite like the idea of something light-hearted, I'd definitely be with you guys there! ^^
I personally am quite happy with whatever location you/we chose, I think both have pros and cons. ^^ I'd also go for the "friends of friends of friends" get indirectly invited as well - This might give you a pretty filled up house, but it might be big fun seeing all of our characters who usually would not meet together in one single thread. ^^

I'm in with Daia and Ana (and Skylar as part of Team Nevos - she and Jacob would be an interesting contrast in attitudes to xenophilia). I'm happy with either location, but I like your reasoning for the Earth setting, versus the Citadel where an apartment (regardless of personal touches) isn't anything that hasn't been seen before a lot in terms of environment.

TaleezeYep! I'm definitely thinking Jacob would invite Daia over as well! It'd make sense, since, in canon-wise, this is Jacob's 1st year with extensive contact with non-humans, conducting missions off world, and away from Earth, so, I do think he'd certainly warm up to the idea of inviting some non-humans he's somewhat acquainted with. And since A_prom is in, I think that settles that @preeya Thanks! And indeed it would be quite interesting to see how our characters interact with one another, especially those who haven't known each other much yet! @asari_promiscuity That's awesome! I'll certainly look forward to seeing 'Team Nevos' in this little thread! I'm pretty sure there'll be some interesting banter between Jacob and Skylar, and of course, Nalia and Ana. And yep, I am certainly warming up to the idea of having it set on that sea-side residence of his now! (if there are no objections to it ) Also, just as a general question here, when would you guys think this thread should be put up? Early/Mid-December sound good?

Sounds great to me! I'll happily bring my part of the 'Team Nevos'! So, one thing though. How will we explain Daia being invited and bringing in a complete entourage? Taleeze as a +1 would have been easy but this sounds like a home invasion

TaleezeSounds awesome! I'll be looking forward to seeing Team Nevos in action then! And, with regards to that little detail, perhaps it could've been that: a. Daia only mentioned, ambiguoulsy, that she'd bring along 'a few friends', and Jacob agreed without asking her further b. Jacob mistakenly said over the call something along the lines of "You're invited! Oh, and if you have a few friends, do feel free to have them tag along!", so, in essence, he was kinda asking for it without specifying the number of people! c. The pair actually agreed on Daia bringing over a few of her close friends, thus, Jacob being okay with it (this would be the most like, 'non-intrusive' version, but, the other versions do seem quite amusing and funny actually! ) I'll leave it up for A_Prom to decide which is the better course of action as well!

Howsabout a variant on Option C - supposing Team Nevos and Team Illium (I'll get over this whole 'team' thing in a couple of weeks, it's okay) have arranged a Citadel get-together anyway, for whatever reason, which just coincidentally happens to be at the same time as Jacob's planning his party? I think Daia's not quite so impulsive as to deluge Jacob with a whole bus-load of extra guests without warning (especially since he's still getting used to aliens in general), but if they're all in the neighbourhood anyway and she mentions that when he invites her, it seems plausible he'd extend the invitation to the group out of courtesy (and Daia being Daia, once she's got the okay, then she would bring a whole bus-load of guests).
As for why everyone's gathering on the Citadel anyway, erm... Christmas-themed charity pildavi match? Ooh, idea - maybe the Grissom Academy (I assume that was rebuilt, once they patched up the bullet holes and swept all the dead Cerbies into the waste chute) has put together an all-human pildavi team (maybe they've got an asari instructor who got them onto it - BAaT had that turian instructor, so it follows), and it's a friendly between them and the Keepers? And the APU's rounded up a bunch of performers from the past couple of seasons (including Daia and Taleeze) to put on an ensemble half-time show.
Doesn't really matter why they're there, of course, it'd just be an aside mention in the actual thread.
(Edit: the other idea that popped into my head was that every fifty years or something the Presidium hosts the traditional Running of the Elcor, but let's not be that silly.)

Oh, that idea for a motivation to be at the Citadel and therefore near earth sounds good to me! -> Pildavi in case you're not familiar, Jacob. But we all know who Grissom's headcoach is going to be, right? she is very impulsive, not really familiar with the finer arts of the game but a motivation genius - she hates to lose;) Her tech and tactic coaches will have their hands full! (Team naming ideas?) Anywho, I'll be ready, following Daia's lead to Jacob's doorstep.

asari_promiscuity Sure! I'm up for that idea! I mean, it certainly does make sense, considering how nonchalant Jacob would be with regards to the extension of the invitation (he probably won't know that it'd be that many people; that or he just doesn't really care actually, so, that'd work!). And the Running of the Elcor thing does sound a bit out there... but it's hilarious nonetheless and an idea I simply cannot keep out of my head now! Taleeze And thanks for that little clarification of the sport! The first time I heard of it, I thought it was like, biotic volleyball or something , glad i wasn't that far off though, considering. Also, cool! Will be looking forward to seeing Taleeze tag along with Daia on this thread!

No need to apologize for delays here. I think all of us have RL happening. It's perfectly fine to do everything when you can and want to. I'll hop in as soon as I can. (I'll try one tonight when home, yet can't promise to get it done.)

Thanks! And that's awesome to hear! Just don't rush it, no need to hurry! RL comes first, so, just take it easy with the whole reply thing!
