🧟 Prescott's Winter Holiday Party



🎄 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.

"I'll never let a checkbook bother you again," Niko promises. He wraps his arms around Blythe to hold him close. For the first time in a very long time, he feels... hopeful? Like there's a future he's actually excited to see? It's an unfamiliar feeling, and maybe just a little bit terrifying (perhaps he'll have to start taking better care of himself now that there's something to look forward to other than dying on the job)—but in a good way!

"You know what? Armor and chainmail isn't a bad idea. Gotta protect you from... you know, everything out there. I'll add it to the To Do list."
