Behind the table Xyz arrived at another navi slips a drink under its silver mask.
"One respectable, Given their keen attentions. The centerpiece though..."
Rain says, gesturing to the all-dominating enormity that is the tree above them.
"...worries me itself. A hot-head with heated drink Would make this TOO fun."
//
Far above, a smudge of darkness against the sky and peering down upon the party as though a child on Christmas, Vilicious' eye simply takes in the view. He lies on a couch at the highest level, kicking his legs contentedly with a pile of purple-wrapped gifts stacked beside him.

Xyzillentz turned to face the new arrival, noting the elaborate inscriptions on his mask. He was fond of the way this one spoke... there was a precision and eloquence to it which he admired.
"Indeed," Xyzie agreed, glancing up at the tree. "If someone were to block the entrance and set the trees alight, this entire glass dome would make an excellent oven to roast us all in." He shrugged. "Of course, someone would inevitably break the glass and let everyone out, AND it would ruin the party. Still, a dreamily dark thought at its core."
He extended a hand out towards Rain, hoping for a shake. "I don't believe we've met. Who might you be, dear?"

Ichabod entered the room with an air of anger. "Stupid navi.... Who just walks up to you all friendly, and then chops up your leg..." He murmured to himself.
Ichabod wandered towards the group of celebrating navi, and snatched one of Xyzillentz fruity concoctions.
"Happy holidays..." He grumbled as he leaned back against the wall and took a sip.

[Phen will be adopting a separate text color for this event to help tell him apart from Ruin, since they share a text color usually. This may or may not become the new norm for him.]
Phenoix walked into the scene from not far off, having touched down just outside the festivities. His cloaked feathers keeping him warm from the snow, though it was still a nice scene. The light glow his body emitted at all times reflected off the crystalized water on the ground and seemed to mark his place with a soft light.
The winged navi of light approached Xyzillentz's table of refreshments, picking up a glass of lightly colored fruit drink, the distinct smell of what he figured was alcohol rising off of the glass. A drink from time to time was nice after all, and it was a festive time. One of the few times where it seemed many of the navis set aside their differences and join together for a good time.
Yes even Ruin treated this day as a sort of temporary non-aggression pact. He also approached Xyzillentz's table and took one of the drinks. Shooting a quick glare at Phenoix, who promptly returned with a similar look before both returned to a much lighter demeanor. Ruin looked about the area, impressed with the imagry. It was much better than the colony at least, and he took solace in the fact that it was temporary, unlike the colony in question. They really needed to redecorate. The place simply looked ugly.
Lastly, to perhaps Ichabod's ire, one more appeared at the drink table. Standing between the navi of purest light and the navi of deepest darkness was he who stood at neutrality. Unlike the other two, Flare wore slightly different clothing. Looking much more like street clothing of the humans, a long sleeved, deep red shirt under a leather jacket. Blue jeans and no sword to be seen. There was no reason to carry a weapon here, it would be disrespectful. White athletic shoes as well, perhaps not the best thing for the snowy environment but it worked well enough. Flare also took a drink, looking to the other two as if signaling for something practiced.
They both nodded, and almost as if rehearsed, all three navis took a sip of their drinks simultaneously. Phenoix and Ruin downing the drink easily and nicely. But Flare seeming to be forcing something back. A cough escaped his lips, not being very accustomed to alcohol apparently.
[smear:959595]Ruin took another sip of his drink, pointing at Xyzillentz as he brought the glass down, Phenoix doing the same shortly after, raising his glass in compliment.[/smear:FFFF9A]
"Good Stuff Slithers, you make this yourself?"
Flare managed to regain his composure enough for a second small sip, which he held down much better, though despite everyone else, he could really feel the burn... Maybe his just had more in it... Probably not.

"I'd say this is amazing, cookies, cocoa, eggnog by the looks of it, and jolly celebration everywhere!"
Excalibur twitched as he spoke... Taking an orange hue...
"The holidays can really bring out the best of us, you know?"
Twitch again, he shifted to green, before reaching his arm as high as he could, a fist in the air, yelling...
"WHOOO! HAPPY HOLIDAYS EVERYONE! WITH COURAGE WE KEEP SAFE! WITH HONOR WE KEEP HAPPY! AND WITH VALOR WE KEEP PEACE!"
He laughed a bit, and strolled over towards Xyzie and Rain, still chuckling after his display... His smile still large, white teeth among grey skin, odd, but it somehow fit... His color shifted to a gold hue...
"There is no such thing as too much enjoyment you know, if it affects your outside work, it is not fun, but indulgence. However, one should indulge ever-so-often..."
He spoke to Rain, before looking towards Xyzie...
"Happy holidays, friend, may I take a drink?"

Xeel Xeel strolls into the area from its northern entrance with a rather large bottle in hand. Dark, almost black, red liquid sloshes around inside with every reckless step the assassin takes. The words 'Widow's Bite' etched in white lettering with red glitter trim adorning the label on the bottle.
Her usual sinister grin seems slightly more carefree and less cruel this day. In no small part to the high paying job she had just completed.
Alright wimps shouting to the entourage at the table as she approaches. I see next to no entertainment here. So here's a start: I want this bottle empty by parties' end. Whoever has the most in their gut by days end wins a prize. As she issues her challenge Xeel slams the bottle on the table.
This stuff screws your programming pretty hard. Not for the, to borrow a human term: "lightweights". Reaching into one of her many satchels Xeel pulls out a kunai and removes the cork. A heavy scent of grape infests the air and with that she takes the first few gulps, a small trickle of red creeping down her neck and into her bosom. She finishes the hit and slams the drink back onto the table, then releases it signalling someone else to take her up.

"Ruinous snow globe, Should one decide they desire. Dark, but surely light?"
The joke and reference to himself hangs in the air without the intonation to guide it, and is followed by a self-humored shrug. Sage grasps snake's proffered hand and inclines his head.
"Nomenclature: Rain, to douse or lighten spirit."
He releases the shake, looks surprised at the sudden flood of party-goers (but nods in recognition of Phenoix; listens to Excalibur's input) and asks the same.
"What may I call you?"

"Xyzillentz," he replied, "Or Xyzie for short, if you like."
Also taking note of the influx of people around him, Xyzillentz glanced about the room and noticed a few familiar faces. He recognized Ruin immediately, of course - and hadn't he seen the gold-feathered one before too, in the Gates of Fortune? He couldn't recall his name, so he ignored him for now and instead responded to Ruin's question.
"Indeed, an original custom concoction. It's one of my many personal passions. If I plan to open up a club, I'll need to have good drinks, no?" He silently handed a glass to the overenthusiastic navi who had requested one - and referred to him as "friend." Strange, Xyzie didn't recognize him.
The bottle Xeel had brought in caught his attention and he decided he would have to sample its contents at some point - but that could wait until later. First, he wanted to mingle a bit more.

________________________________________________________
“Whoever has the most in their gut by days end wins a prize.”
Of course, Megami was one of many who was standing among the crowd as the issue was challenged. The Goddess-like NetNavi, watching what could have been called the start of the game happily clapped as if this was actual sport. She had no exposure or idea about how drinking games worked, but her vital spirit encouraged her to play and win...especially if it meant showing how capable of a NetNavi she was to Xenneth.
“I think we can win, Xen-kun!”
Slightly shaking his head, Xenneth replied, “I-I don’t think it’s that kind of challenge, Megami-chan. I mean...in the real world it’s jus-”
“Oh no, Xen-kun!”
A sudden cry of Megami’s voice had rang through the dome. Making haste, Megami’s legs carried her quickly over to Xeel. Her chestnut pony tail swayed until the very moment she stopped, grabbed at the NetNavi’s shoulders and looked into her very eyes conveying a tone through look as if life and death depending on what she was about to say! “If anyone is to be victor, then not a single drop should be wasted! Yes?” Megami attempted to shake Xeel once with her urgent tone, but the next she tossed her head forth towards the NetNavi’s face...but lower...
To the next...but lower...
To her bosom....yeah...right there...
*SLAP!!!*
Over the open communication, what sounded like a woman assaulting a man with a common face slap was actually the palms of a humiliated Net Operator meeting his face. There was no other way to explain Megami’s behavior other than she was born yesterday (or in her case, one year – a few months, and several seconds shy of a day) and that she did not understand that not every challenge had to be taken serious. It could not have been any worse unless she was attempting to use...
...nope, wait. Yeap.
The Goddess was trying to lick the traces of liquid off Xeel...with the usual lack of social normalcy and with very skillful stroke to get the trail with one stroke of her tongue.

This scene wouldn't take place within the beautiful glass dome, nor would it be seen by any within. Within the mystical pinewood forest, the sound of quiet footsteps echoes gently above the silence otherwise interrupted only by the sound of the breeze and the slow yet constant snowfall. Beneath the shadow of the full moon, a lone Navi stares out to the expanse of trees standing before him in silence. His slate blue scarf, worn down by years of constant use, covers his face and hides his expression...
You weren't going to verbally say goodbye to me?
...but his eyes betray his emotions none the less. A bitter smile, memories both painful and comforting. Memories of this place, but a different time. A time that he'd died, a time that he'd lived.
You don't have to give anything more....This was more than enough.
A voice of beauty plays across his mind, accompanied by a face of like grace; strong willed and defiant, yet gentle and kind. A happiness like a falling star; over all too soon.
I'm going to miss you, Resonance
A memory, long gone but never forgotten. A tear in a scarred heart, but one that he would never allow to heal. He knew that his time with her was over, but in this, the place where it all began, he would re-live such beauty, if only for a moment. He owes her, and himself, that much.
Walking his path, Resonance embraces the shadows of the forest and walks on, leaving the celebration behind to the others. Let them have their time, his was long ago....

Phenoix nodded as well to Rain, and despite the festivities, a small ping went off in his head, He turned to look to the forest through the glass dome. All he could see was the shadows of the forest, but beyond he he could feel something else. A navi... an energy signature like no other. Many navis Phenoix would have to meet a few times to get used to and pinpoint the specifics of their energy signature so he could tell where they are in the network. However there were a few navis in particular which held such unique powers that to meet them once would be to never forget them. Resonance was one such navi.
Phenoix could feel him beyond the trees, but the navi was making no movements toward the festivities. Phenoix smiled, then turned back to the party, where an impressive spectacle was occurring...
Despite Megami's... display, There was still the challenge on the table. Who could drink the most of the bottle labeled "Widow's Bite". He was told he was not to cause havoc here, something about powerful restrictions and non-aggression. So if he couldn't fight, then he could at least drink. He wasn't about to lose to the bounty hunter either. He had heard much about Xeel, always wanted to go toe to toe with her at some point. At the very least, he could fight her in this way.
"I'll take you on!" Ruin bellowed, snatching the bottle from the table after downing the rest of his fruity drink effortlessly and slamming the cup on the table face down. He downed a few gulps of the drink, it went down smooth and nicely, with a sufficient burn following. Like Xeel, a bit still trickled around his lips, flowing down his jawline and meeting at at his neck. After his drink, he slammed the bottle on the table as well, the table cracking slightly under the pressure.
Flare simply watched the spectacle before him, taking small sips of his drink from time to time, slowly growing accustomed to it. A look of disgust crossed his face with each sip however... Peer pressure was certainly something else... to make people drink such a nasty beverage. He looked around the rest of the area, seeing a few navis he had seen, and many he had not. He wondered when additional festivities would start as well...

Xeel (His plan was to prolong the boobage as long as possible! That fiend.)
Err.. Xeel mumbles, her expression confused and flustered at the abrasive woman. Listen kid... she responds while removing Megami from her bust. Not that I don't appreciate the novice motorboat it's a bit too early for this. There are kids here. Xeel gestures to various navis in the area, then eyes Ruin taking a few swigs of the brew. Go suckle the widows' teet for a bit. If you're awake later we'll see. Addressing Megami a final time before moving away and scooping up a cup of whatever XYZ had concocted.

“Motorboat?” she quizzed, “But...I gave you no such vehicle! I see no such thing in sight.”
She looked left and right, trying to be sure that there was not a single dock in place. This was a strange area for boats to be placed after all. However, after finally pulling his face from his palms, Xenneth had tapped the P.E.T.’s communication button to open an audio channel (ashamed to show his face). “Megami,” he chimed, “Space and about face!” The female NetNavi had leapt back from Xeel’s position approximately a few inches and turned around in a complete one-eighty degree spin to face the nearest wall and away from the rest of the Navis. However, the words from the woman were fresh in her mind as she shifted her attention to the fleeting presence of the NetNavi.
“We must now be awake to see her next challenge?” Megami asked, “Xen-kun! We must-”
“Stop!” the violet haired boy chimed, “Time out!”
Megami’s brow lifted.
The female NetNavi was so confused now! She knew that Xenneth gave her a few code words and list of commands along with her digital encyclopedia application in order to navigate through the Cyberworld’s meanings and slang. In her mind, she had done no wrong as she taken a challenge of a competitor and performed, as she would say, gloriously without hesitation! It was a natural trait as she did not want to fail her Net Operator and show him the potential their team shared, even if it involved drinking and unknowingly violating someone’s space in the process as Megami lacked the proper social skills.
“Oh...” her head dropping slightly as she felt dispirited, “Did I...fail to communicate, Xen-kun?”
“No!” he started...
“I mean yes...” he stuttered...
“Well, not really, it’s just...” and he flopped like a Magikarp using Splash.
In doubt, he just went to his basic set of words that dispelled the tension and set-up a long procrastination routine that held off on their usual speaks like a father teaching a child. “I-it’s nothing right now,” his hands before him in a dismissively awkward manner, “It’s just a bad call! We’ll talk about it later.”
“Oh?” she lifted a brow, tilting her head as Megami smiled warmly. She started to walk around on the party floor as she began to take a cup and pour a drink with a calm and confident expression on her face. “Do not despair then, Xen-kun! As I said, you shall make better calls in the future. After all, you have me to count on to help you do the right thing, yes?”
*SLAP!!!*
Xenneth’s face even more red as his palms sat on his face. However, it was all inaudible and drowned out by Megami guzzling down some of the Widow’s Bite on the table.

Rainman awkwardly sat at the table as the female Netnavi and her operator continued to bicker.It was quite funny to him seeing the Navi going crazy due to her program getting all waked up due to the drink.Rainman wanted to try and win the prize but he was a light weight! If were to drink even one sip of it who knows what would happen!Just looked at what was happening to the Netnavi!
"...Uh...does she need some help?" Rainman asked outloud,a bit awkwardly.

A young woman clad in black approaches the Christmas Hall -- she looks oddly out of character at a place like this. Naturally, she's frustrated even more by the gold clad male trailing shortly behind her. He just never left her alone, this one.
"Heeey Rayne-- what are you doing here with my wife?"
And of course, the most obnoxious person possible was already here: Strike. She wasn't his wife, not by a long shot. Never was, never will be.
Feint rolled her eyes at the comment while Warrior continued to stand there dumbfounded and unsure how to respond.
"Oh good, the bane of my existence welcomes me to the party."
"Uh, babe, I was talking to Warrior. You shouldn't interrupt like that, it's rude."
"..."
The slightest twitch in her eye revealed it: she had just lost her cool.
It was record breaking, really. That only took about four seconds this time.
"First off, you good for noth--Shhhhh shhh shh sh. This is grown up talk. Go join the motorboat contest over there, you'll do great. So anyway Warri--I'm gonna motorboat my foot up your rear if you interrupt me one more time! Is that clear, you self-obsessed prick?"
"Both of you, cut it out."
Remnant materialized between them, not necessarily with the intention to act as a peacemaker so much than to act as a prevention to the imminent anarchy.
"Yeah guys, this is the season to be--Shut up, Rayner."
"Okaysorry."
"Whoooooaaaaaa! Did that just happen?"
"..."
"Did you just give away your balls like that?"
"What? No, she doesn't-"
Warrior stopped mid sentence when he noticed Feint giving him a rather threatening glare as he spoke.
"Let's... not talk about it."
"Wow. For shame, my friend. For shame."
"He's just trying to avoid conflict. Something you should be doing too, but you don't know what's coming for you."
"Nope, but I know what's coming for you. Eh? Eh?"
"That's not funny, it's sexual harassment. Take that garbage out of here, and why don't you go right along with it?"
Strike rolled his eyes in a mocking manner of the way Feint had done it earlier. He was fortunate enough to notice something directly above him as he did so, though.
"Oh my! A mistletoe! Beloved, draw near!"
"I'd sooner rather kiss a skunk's as-- What a coincidence! I'm half skunk!"
This imbecile literally had nothing better to do than keep wasting her time. What a sorry excuse of a life he was.
"I'm done talking."
"... So your mouth's free now?"
"..."
"Seriously. That's enough of that."
"Aw, c'mon Rem. You know I'm just-"
"That's enough."
Alright, alright. Can't argue with the undead ghost; don't wanna have my soul sucked up or anything crazy like that."
"That's fine, you can have the last word."
"Well I-..."
Strike paused as Remnant slowly turned his head in his direction, as if daring him to continue.
"...way to hide behind big brother for that one."
"Way to be a little pu-"
"Both of you. Stop it."
"Aww Cher-Bear, you're so cute when you get all fired up and angry."
"Don't. Ever. Call me that. Again."
"*Sigh*..."
This would inevitably go one for time eternal between these two. A guy that didn't know when to stop talking and a girl that was determined to put him in his place.
At least they didn't attract any commotion this time.
The trio of Strike, Remnant, and Feint continued their scene while Warrior walked away to look around the party. Truth be told he could have used some of that Widow's Bite right about now, but he wasn't too fond of sticking around.
The party was great, but he was more just getting an "attendance" of who was here, then making his leave after doing his annual check up of who was still alive and who wasn't. And more or less showing them that he, too, wasn't dead yet.
He'd take a moment to soak in the tranquility of the more quiet spots in the party. It wasn't regularly that he could think back over everything that had happened over the years, and Aurora Borealis' dance in the sky put him in a trance as he relived the past in his mind.
Most would call it boring and anti-social, but that's how he enjoyed a holiday.
