🧟 Prescott's Winter Holiday Party

[decaymod]

🎄 Prescott is all dressed up for the holidays, with fairy lights and garlands up around the fire station and the field hospital. In the parking lot in the northwest corner, the Christmas tree has been set up for anyone to decorate however they see fit. In the center of the main intersection, they’ve built a bonfire which burns all night.

🎄 Mulled wine, hot cocoa, spiced cider, and various small hors d'oeuvres are being served out of the fire station kitchen.

🎄 The fire trucks have been moved out of the apparatus bay and replaced with spare chairs and sofas which usually live in storage. They’re arranged into a handful of small circles, creating a space for conversation.

🎄 Secret Santa gift exchange happens in the apparatus bay at about 6pm.

🎄 On the outside wall of the radio station, adjacent to the community garden, there’s a new mural of Celia Wallace painted by Whitney Resident Amy McBride (who attended high school with her). The corresponding inside wall has been covered in cork board. There are index cards in various colors and pens available for anyone to write out a note in remembrance of someone they’ve lost, and there are pushpins available to put up these notes or photographs of loved ones.

🎄 It’ll be a pretty early evening, with festivities ending around 10pm.

ARRIVALS

[decaymod]

ARRIVALS: Quaid

[quaid]

Quaid shows up, but isn't his usual jolly self; maybe only about 70%. Though his second brush with Black Fever was far less harsh than the first go-'round, it still sucked to be sapped of energy and generally listless even if not full on chills/aches/vomiting blood et al this past week. You'll find him more than likely sitting or slouching off to the side tonight, more an observer than trying to bring any real attention to himself. He'll gladly converse with anyone that approaches him, however won't be his usual social butterfly self against just quite yet.

Arrivals: Court

[castnet]

Even though she'll have a handful of rather somber moments throughout tonight (especially when taking in the memorial wall later in the night), Court is overall in a giddy mood and there's not much that can deflate her! She loves all of the things being brought together here tonight (especially bonfires), and tries the hot cocoa, apple cider, and mulled wine in that order. Spends most of her night in the cold, though ducks inside a few times to warm up here and there. Helps decorate the xmas tree at some point.

ARRIVALS: Reggie

[toughleaf]

Reggie is 100% completely and totally laser-focused on fire safety tonight. If she keeps her eyes on the fire and her attention zeroed in on making sure it doesn't spread and no one gets too close, then she won't have time to think about the idea of grief or anyone she's lost. For most of the night, she's snappish and tense and over-caffeinated, but she tries not to mingle too much to keep her grinchiness from spreading.
