THE CHRISTMAS MINGLE YOUR PARENTS WARNED YOU ABOUT
At some point in the night, taking advantage of the perma-silence, Lucifer and a few others sneak about to decorate the dormitory for the holidays. The morning of 12/25, you'll wake up to the smell of Christmas cookies wafting from the dorm kitchen, and upon actually leaving your room, there are string lights and decorations thrown up in the hallways and the common room proper.
The decorating is, of course, courtesy of Nene, who has been working hard to ensure that there's something more beautiful than those ghoulish paintings on the walls here. You can thank Helena, Sidney, and Lucifer for both the cookies and other, more substantial food which will periodically be presented throughout the day — Lucifer practically lives in the kitchen for the duration of the party and can sometimes be seen shooing the other two out to go have fun. That said, the table housing all of these dishes, ranging from traditional Christmas meals (as best they can do with limited resources, anyway) to more ostentatious treats will never be empty, so please eat to your heart's content!
Thanks to Amami, there's a large, undecorated Christmas tree in the middle of the common room that looks to be very well taken care of. Next to it is a table full of art supplies for making colourful paper ornaments, and a small card lying nearby that instructs those participating to write down a wish on the ornament proper before hanging it on the tree. It may not come true, but you know it'll be safe since no mysterious forces set this up — wish away!
Should you come to spend time at the party and fraternize, you'll find that you're being waited on by a number of small little imps except they're all wearing tiny Santa hats — they'll bring you food and drinks and candy should you request it, and they're on their Best Behaviour, so please be nice to them! They are simply underpaid service workers. They're absolutely thrilled to talk to you in chirps and weird demonic chittering, and they understand what you're saying at least.
In the back corner of the room, there's a minute-to-win-it type game set up: two chairs are tied by the backs together by two ribbons, about two feet apart from one another. Nearby, there's a table of candycanes for use in this game. The goal of the game is to toss a candycane while standing on one of the chairs and get said candycane to catch on the ribbons, or to see who can get the most candycanes on a ribbon in a minute. The instructions are explained on a little card sitting nearby, with further note to not eat all of the candycanes (there are more set out on the food table, you see) so people can play, and another smaller note banning the use of magic against an opponent who doesn't have it. Let's keep the game fair, people. And let's thank Hikaru for running out to get an obnoxious amount of candycanes for everyone.
Lucifer will intermittently come join the festivities from time to time when he's not cooking, wearing this, please feel free to bully the demon for celebrating the holiday from the religion he hates. He can take it, it's okay.
Last but certainly not least, Noah is roaming about the party using his magic to try and liven the place up. Little stars hang from the ceiling around him in a ten-foot radius, and should you frown at all, he will come up to you and put cat ears formed of magic shadows on you until you laugh. On occasion, he can be seen slipping out of the party with cookies and stacking them on a plate in front of Komaeda's door. The stars go with him, but the good news is that Natsume is also helping with their little lightshow, so the twinkling indoor galaxies will not be absent for long. It's a joint effort between Clamor's apprentices, and their hard work really shows through, magic training is difficult after all. Feel free to bother either of them to do magic tricks for you, if you'd like, or just lie down under a curtain of stars.
The night promises to be magical (semi-literally), even if we're all stuck in purgatory, so relax, put your feet up, and sing Christmas carols to your heart's content. And don't worry about the cleanup — just try not to pass out on the floors.

[ However, a game of Charades might prove to be a bit difficult for Herlock, considering this man is from the late 1890's. He may not know too many references outside of that, so it might just have to be fairytales or generic topics. ]
Once the round is over, we can switch places!

Gotchya. So it's kinda like improv, just without words?
no subject
[ He'll pop a squat in a chair and get ready to guess! SORRY RIO KDFJSNL, Herlock Sholmes is a gremlin sometimes. ]
Ready when you are!
no subject
Alright, here goes...
[ He actually discards the first card he pulls because it's a random pop culture card that he's certain neither him or his companion know. The second one is a little less offensive, and so after staring at it for a moment he finds that it's easy enough. He sets it down face down.
He holds up one hand in front of his face (expression card still in place) with his index finger and middle fingers slightly separated, mimicking holding something, followed by bringing up his opposite hand near it - curled in a fist - and mimicking a downward swiping motion. ]

[ He watches the other intently for a few moments. ]
....Eating soup.
[ Herlock you literally smoke, my guy, what- ]

And then it finally comes to him since I rolled a Nat 20. ]
Aha-! Smoking, yes?
no subject
Yep, you got it! ... Why soup?
no subject
[ He'll get on up and sift through a bunch of cards while he waits for Ranger to get situated. When he has a decent one, he'll look over to the other. ]
Ready?
no subject
[ Well, the fact that half of his face is hidden doesn't help. He takes a seat. ]
Yep, go for it.
no subject
An idea sparks in his head as he crouches down and pretends to pet an animal before he attaches something to its collar- a leash! He then gets back up and pretends to walk along with said creature. Sort of like walking a dog! ]

A dog?

You got this, Ranger!! ]
