Generic Winter Gift Giving Holiday

Who: Marvel cast+invited guests and dates
What: CH5 Floor 5 hosts Generic Winter Gift Giving Holiday, in the spirit of cooperation, inclusiveness and good food.
When: December 25th
Where: Community House 5, Floor 5
Summary: Pepper and Tony held Thanksgiving, now it is Floor 5's collective turn to host the party for Christmas/Hanukkah/Yule/whatever those crazy Midgarians celebrate anyway. Hopefully everyone will survive.
Rating: PG-13 because alcohol




[It seemed only fair that since Pepper and Tony had hosted the last holiday, that someone else host this time. And since they kind of had an entire floor, the inhabitants of Floor 5 had bravely and nobly taken the task upon themselves to create a party that they could all share.

The doors are propped open to try to give them enough space for mingling, with a Christmas tree set up in Clint's living room, presents laid out beneath it. And maybe he's been a bit enthusiastic with the decorating, because it's kind of weighted down with tinsel and baubles, but it's been more than twenty years since he last had a Christmas tree and people to spend it with. Everyone else has added their own personal touches too, with a menorah in the windowsill for Ben and Billy.

The place of honour on the couch is taken by Coulson, wrapped up in blankets and Clint has helpfully hung a sprig of mistletoe over his head with string because he is thoughtful like that.

The kitchen is laid out with food; there's the traditional turkey which they'd managed to prepare (Clint is rather proud of that), and a ham. Oddly for some perhaps, there's also a large fish in the middle of the table, the carp that Clint and Natasha have spent the last week keeping in a bathtub. There are, of course, assorted cakes and pies, vegetables in bowls. There's drinks too, mulled wine and hot cider and chocolate. There's also a plate of sugar cookies labelled 'Coercion Cookies'. Not to mention the food that Ben and Billy made which he doesn't know the names of but smells amazing anyway.

It's a somewhat chaotic affair; people arriving and leaving as they please, gifts given out whenever it seems appropriate and games played whenever there's a group big enough.]



[OOC: Feel free to have people drop by whenever they like, even early if they want to help prepare or discover large fish in the bathtub.]

[Natasha starts laughing the moment she sees him, her green eyes lighting up with mirth as she stops short, a tray of snacks balanced easily in one hand.]

I'm starting to notice a trend here tonight, Captain.

[Well, that's about the reaction he'd been expecting. From...everyone actually. That doesn't keep him from frowning and re-positioning his arms across his chest.] Okay, okay. Laugh it up.

Yeah, well apparently Bucky and I had the same line of thought this year.

[Her smile softens and she reaches out to brush a hand against his arm, her gaze bright.] It's fun. And very festive. And considering you get to spend the evening making Barnes squirm in turn, it's the best holiday present I've seen so far.

[Natasha gives him a wink and a warm grin.] Merry Christmas, Captain.

[His frown slowly eases up and morphs into a smile.] Actually I think he's handling it a lot better than I am. I sure hope his girl is here to see him. That should knock him down a peg or two.

Merry Christmas, Agent Romanoff.

[Her smile falters the faintest bit, but she brushes it off with a laugh, inclining her head in agreement.] It should, but I won't hold my breath. He seems to recover quickly.

Would you like a drink, Captain? Something to eat? There's plenty.
