When you teach a sword about Christmas...

[sakeplz]

Who: The Sword House and Friends! (Basically if you know any of the swords or Gilbert then you were invited)
When: A little before Christmas~
Where: The Sword House! (Jirou's place of residence)
What: Jirou learned about Christmas and now he wants to share that information with everyone! So all friends of the swords and Gilbert are invited!
Rating: PG (BE GOOD EVERYONE THERE ARE CHILDREN. No not really. The swords are all older than you.)

After finding out about this Christmas thing Jiroutachi had made sure that he got straight to work on a party for it. His main motivation being that Christmas involved alcohol. This surprised no one but what was surprising was that he'd bothered to help the other with decorations and such to make the house look festive. So now there were decorations everywhere with warm food for guests and a variety of drinks as well.

For those willing to go outside, there was a lovely fire setup to allow people to enjoy the lovely gardens while still staying warm. Jirou had even made sure that there was warmed wine for people to drink! (Or hot chocolate. Though that had likely not been his idea.)

So now all friends were invited to come and celebrate with them! To join the wonder of this Christmas thing!

[ooc: Feel free to tag around with each other or even have private threads. If you have met Jiroutachi, Kousetsu, Shinano, Nakigitsune, or Gilbert Nightray then you are automatically invited. If you want to say you slipped in without an invite that's cool too. If you want to be a friend of a guest then the more the merrier. Just go spread around and have fun!]

You didn't answer me.

[Seriously, this was becoming bizarre. Just as shocking, Gilbert had not screamed at him yet.]

These're for you anyway.

[Rory might as well take advantage of the situation. He placed bag after heavy bag filled to the brim with food onto Gilbert's hands. There was everything from salads, a variety of main courses, and, of course, cookies and pies. There were drinks as well, though nothing of the alcoholic sort. He was certain that he did not need to bring anything of that sort.]

[interchained]

Of course I didn't.

[He can't really start yelling at his guest at the front door (or anywhere else in the house, for that matter), can he...]

Uhhh... [His knees are bending under the weight of all the food, but he's grateful, which he expresses shortly after:] Thank you, you needn't have to...I'm sure everyone will enjoy this. Don't just stand here, come in.

[moreasleep]

[Well, he expected Gilbert to do stupid things given their history...]

You really want me here?

[That was not just a mistake in the post? Or Jiroutachi's doing? Despite his words, he already began shouldering past Gilbert and making his way inside. While he hid his shivering well, his slight frame fared terribly in this cold weather. He needed some respite before trekking back to his place.]

[interchained]

Damn, stop asking me questions.

[The most difficult ones, on top of that.]

Everyone is welcome.

["Even you." is right there at the tip of his tongue, but in the end he doesn't say it out loud.]

Besides, it's Christmas...Cherima...whatever.

Sorry about the delay!

[moreasleep]

'Whatever' is right.

[Once inside, he pulled his scarf and mittens off. He drew his hand close to his mouth and breathed on it, trying to rid the blue from his fingertips. Rory looked at the decorations, clearly unimpressed by it. There just seemed no point in celebrating. As he looked at the bright lights and greenery, he rolled his eyes.]

There better not be any mistletoe here.

So am I c':

[interchained]

I can't promise anything, I'm afraid.

[Which means there is a mistletoe hidden somewhere there for sure. If he was a bit smarter, he could've joked that they're standing under one, but alas.

On the other hand, maybe it's a good thing. At least he's going to survive through this party.]

But please make yourself feel at home.

But I'm later. This should be the last time, though!

[moreasleep]

Home. That's hilarious.

[Of course, Rory was not laughing or even smiling. He looked up to check for mistletoe before he sank down upon a chair and stared at the drinks. The steam from them looked inviting, and he was certain wrapping his hands around a cup would get his fingers warmed in no time. Yet he did not take any. That would mean he intended to drink it. Instead, he folded his hands over his midsection.]

Not even on the same planet. Sure as fuck feels like home to me!

it's okay, never worry \o/

[interchained]

[Gilbert rolls his eyes, still trying to remain fairly calm (trying is the keyword). Hiding his irritation with Rory behind a stiff tone is a safe bet, apparently:]

Well, in that case...feel however you'd like to feel, it'll be Christmas soon, after all. Just don't scare the other guests, if you please.

[moreasleep]

[He scoffed as he obnoxiously stretched out on the chair.]

I'm not Krampus. Spent all month supervising those assholes.

[After kicking his feet up, he looked at the food he had given to Gilbert.]

You going to set that up while it's hot or do you need help with that, too?

[interchained]

You could try being polite at least once, even when you're telling me to fuck off.

[Now, that's the good, old Gilbert.]

Don't you worry, I'll set this up in a minute.

[moreasleep]

There it is.

[There was the Gilbert he vaguely remembered.]

Thought for a moment your head got fucked up.

[He waved dismissively.] Go ahead, then. It's fine if you mess one or two up. I made plenty.
