FAMILY HOLIDAYS [SEMI-OPEN]

[minus1twin]

WHO: Wanda Maximoff, Tommy Shepherd, Gar Logan, Antonio Vega & any other close CR.
WHAT: Family dinner
WHEN: December 23rd
WHERE: Wanda's Dome; 305.
WARNINGS: n/a.
NOTES: This is open to those who might stop by Wanda's dome during the holidays. There will be a family dinner, cooking, drinking, gifts & general winter cheer. Feel free to make open posts, single thread, group threads or hop around. It is an easy form but make sure to communicate.

Wanda's dome is much like the other shared domes within the sphere however she's currently living alone. Even so, there are two small rooms off of the main living space. One is the bedroom and the other is the bathroom. The main room is well lived in. A couch is set across from a small tv with a coffee table positioned perfectly between them. Next to that is a round kitchen table with four chairs that segways into the 'U' shaped kitchen.

Sokovia does not celebrate Christmas, or at least Wanda doesn't, but she tries her best to decorate for the snowy winter holiday that the sphere celebrates. There are puffs of fake snow around the couch and on a few off the surfaces around the room. Candles line various shelves as well as centering both tables with sprigs of ivy, holly and a few other plants around the room. Music is playing though it's all random instrumental pieces that don't entirely identify with the holidays but it creates a pleasant mood within the small living space.

Coming from the kitchen are rich and exotic scents. Most of Wanda's food selections range from regions of Hungarian and Russia but they all manage to add to the pleasant sensation of the celebration. The table hosts each dish with plates and silverware set out for people. The dishes that can be found are perogies, chicken paprikash, stuffed peppers, Kürtőskalács, scalloped potatoes, Pogača, cabbage rolls and various small pastries. There is a lot of food but she is cooking for her son, so it's only natural that she makes enough food for an army.

There are also cookies, many many types of cookies.

The plan for the evening is for people to filter in and out, grab plates and eat when they wish, stand around and talk as well as give gifts. It is a loosely formed evening and one that Wanda hopes is relaxing to those who attend. She also won't turn anyone away, even if they weren't formally invited. Her door is left open and it is only near the end of the evening that she closes her door and ends the night.

It's a good thing that Wanda can use her magic to help her clean up after the hectic day.

WANDA | OPEN

[ooc: this top level can include running into Wanda the day before or after the event since there is cooking and cleaning to be done. Wanda will be talking to everyone. She also has Christmas presents for Tommy, Speedy, Gar & Antonio. So feel free to comment here with an ooc post if you just want those gifts and don't want to thread it out.]

At the beginning of the day as well as the day before, Wanda is cooking.

Thick heavy scents flow from her dome and the door stands open for all to inhale the tantalizing promise of something delicious. It's only after her son arrives at the small event that she hands off much of the cooking to him and begins to mill about and meet those who've come to visit. She makes a point to speak to her son, as well as his boy friend and introduce her own significant other to the pair.

She is also pouring drinks or making mixed simple drinks for those who want something more intricate than whiskey and wine. Wanda makes a point to have alcohol but there isn't enough for anyone to go crazy.

Throughout the entire event, Wanda is smiling; excited to spend the day with those she cares about. In a rare change has on make up though she is wearing her usual collection of rings and necklaces. Her dress is one that she wears often though it suits the wintery feel of the celebrations while her red hair falls around her shoulders in messy waves.

Her elf is still sitting in her living room but for the moment, Wanda is trying her best to ignore it and use it as a decoration. It, at least, hasn't been causing a lot of issues. Even if it looks very creepy.
