Cabin-Warming

[callmemajor]

There's a small cabin a little ways up the mountain behind Milliways. It's cozy-looking and inviting, smoke streaming softly from the chimney. It's well-lit and welcoming on a cold, snowy night.

Kitchen

[callmemajor]

There are drinks of every sort (from coffee and hot cider to wine and beer) in the kitchen, and several plates are laid out with holiday-ish treats: gingerbread, sugar cookies, fudge, etc.

[7twistedwishes]

Hm, drinks. She does not need them, but they are interesting. besides, a woman in jeans, white tshirt and drinking a beer is a staple or culture.

For certain values of 'culture'.

[callmemajor]

It's a staple in Lorne's culture at least. And this particular woman looks a bit familiar.

"Not waitressing tonight?"

[7twistedwishes]

"Oh no." The woman laughs softly, shaking head. "It is my night off..."

"I was wondering where I should leave a gift or two."

[lichvell-r.livejournal.com]

Curiosity brought the young woman here, and she watches the table before nabbing a couple cookies, a glass of wine, and leaving a tell stack of brownies.

You know, as a pre-gift.

[callmemajor]

"Aww, you shouldn't have," Lorne says, smiling as the woman sets down the brownies.

[lichvell-r.livejournal.com]

"Probably I should not, really: it is my first attempt at cooking, they are probably toxic." Ravin shrugs.

Actually, they are not, they are excellent, but the young woman does not know it. "I'm Ravin."

Lorne looks well satisfied as he leans against the kitchen counter, sipping his beer. Maybe it's the party, maybe it's the alcohol, maybe it's the cabin itself.

Whatever's causing it, he's clearly glad to be here.

Dancing

[callmemajor]

It's not the largest of cabins, and there's no electricity, so the light comes only from the fireplace and a few kerosene lamps scattered around the room. But there's a small iPod hooked up to some speakers playing in the corner of the room, and most of the furniture has been pushed towards the fireplace to make a sort of make-shift dance floor.

[7twistedwishes]

The Devil plays the wallflower, watching the open space and the people. Dance is good, but more often than not, she needs to work double hard to get a dance.

For now, she watches.

[lichvell-r.livejournal.com]

Ipod. She has one as well, but her musical tastes are not much for dancing.

Ravin just listens and sways in place, alone, not expecting to find a dance partner.

[benloserz.livejournal.com]

Ipod...?

What about live music? Ben brought his guitar and a wide repertorie of songs (music cypher sheets of popular party selections).

Requests are welcome!

[callmemajor]

Does Ben play music you can dance to? Lorne promised Jack there could be dancing.

"You play?" he says when he sees Ben's guitar.

[benloserz.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, I do. Thought you could use live music?" The hands over the thick folder with the music sheets, party songs, things to dance to. "Pick what you want."

Jack slides his hands around Lorne's shoulders and kisses his neck. "May I have this dance?"

Re: Dancing

[callmemajor]

"Always," Lorne says, smiling and turning his head for a kiss.

Re: Dancing

[firstcptjack.livejournal.com]

Jack kisses his lips quickly and turns him around. He settles his hands on Lorne's waist and begins to sway.

"Nice party, isn't it?"

Fireplace

[callmemajor]

To one side of the main room is a small, stone fireplace, cheerfully blazing. Around it are gathered bits and pieces of furniture, a couch and several chairs. It makes a warm, cozy place for chatting and enjoying the food and drink.

[7twistedwishes]

Couch, a good place where to rest her legs and feet. High heels are murder, even for the Angel of the Abyss.

Hot tub

[callmemajor]

Yes, there's a hot tub. It's just off the porch.

The hosts take no responsibility for any activities taking place here.

[7twistedwishes]

Oh, hot tub... but she dies not bring a swimsuit of any kind, should the Devil venture in? The idea seems faintly amusing for now.

Re: Hot tub

[ostro_goth]

Teja looks at the large, hot bath that seems to be for everybody -- how enticing!

But he would not strip naked in front of everyone, much as bathing outside with snow nearby would be much enticing to him.

Re: Hot tub

[callmemajor]

Lorne comes out of the cabin holding a mug of hot chocolate. He smiles when he sees Teja standing by the hot tub.

"Teja!"

Outdoors

[callmemajor]

All around the cabin, there's a thick blanket of snow on the ground. It could be romantic, if you're into that sort of thing.

On the other hand, it might be wise to be on the lookout for projectiles while out here. The trees provide excellent cover for any would-be assailants, and snowball fights are a Grand Winter Tradition.

[lichvell-r.livejournal.com]

Cold is not a problem for her: Ravin enjoys a bit of quiet as well.

No, she is not making a pile of snowballs, why?

Nope, she is not, you are having hallucinations. That is not the pile of snowballs you are looking for.
