[Industry holiday party... it isn't exactly on the clock but it's not exactly off it, either. Chances for elbow rubbing, cozying up to rivals and potential new connections alike, especially for the group managers, stage owners, label staff... it's exhausting. Sylvain's perfectly charming demeanor never slips, though, even after a few drinks. He is infallibly charming, unless you're someone who can't stand an irrepressible flirt.]
[He's certainly fanboying on the inside, at least a little. He would much rather be chatting with one of the idol groups here, like the Huntr/x girls, than stay stuck in the conversation he's currently trapped in. He stopped paying attention a minute ago, when the guy (a light designer?) starting talking about his newest gimmick, when he noticed a flash of a long braid, and heard Rumi laugh. He's leaning, just a little, to see her around the crowd of people, and notices she's standing near some of the Christmas decorations, taking pictures with the tree and garlands... and a mistletoe above. When her eyes move his way he doesn't shy away from meeting them, grinning and winking, then glancing at the group he's stuck with and making a face.]
Go with tech guy then i think. Maybe had a short career on stage as a teen first

[Olivia's favourite thing about the holidays might be all of the time that she gets to spend baking. Couple that in with being able to share what she's made with others and it is like icing atop a proverbial cake.
It's on a day in which she feels she's running late that with a plate of intricately decorated and iced gingerbread biscuits that she collides with a Sylvain. The impact scatters her biscuits. Some of them just so happen to land on a not-too-terribly distant table. Most of them don't have that fortuitous landing.]
Oh—
[Her expression is painfully transparent. It's apology, uncertainty, a great deal of embarrassment, and an amalgamation of sentiment that Olivia seems to be wrapped up in. But the first thing is first—]
I-I'm so sorry. Are you all right? I didn't mean to... to. Do. Any of that!
[As usual, it's a less-than-smooth delivery from her, but at least she's keeping the overwhelming anxiety from her tossed holiday treats brimming beneath her surface. For now.]

Loki was not supposed to be in town; another one of those last-minute business trips sprung on him by his father. And yet? When the door to Rosie's Roses jingles, he walks. Looking perfectly put together, with large sunglasses over his eyes and two to-go cups of what is likely some seasonal coffee.
He could see Don was helping someone, so he smirked and waited. Just under that mistletoe that he knew where it was, as he had put Sean on his shoulders to help the boy put it up for his dad instead of getting a ladder like a sane person.

It’s that last-minute rush before the week of Christmas and Don is about ready for a break. It can’t come soon enough, not when he’s bogged down by so many extra orders. Still, he’s providing service with a smile, because despite the chaos he’s grateful - so grateful he’s been able to keep the shop open in the first place.
…He just wishes his part-timer didn’t call out with the flu before he unlocked the front door this morning. That’s all.
He hears the familiar jingle of the bell above the door and excuses himself momentarily from the customer in front of him, casually dropping an “I’ll be right with you!” - utterly oblivious as to who’s just walked in.
Now would be the appropriate time to note Don’s festive attire: red apron with HO HO HO embroidered in fun colors on the front amidst a sea of presents, Santa hat sitting lopsided atop his head. The shop is decorated too, from the counters to the walls to the front display window. No one does Christmas better than Don Marcus.

[ Open to 1, 2, or 4. Other prefs in journal.]
( romantic and platonic kisses welcome. ♡ there's plenty of love to go around unless they don't like you in which case what did you do??? kiss with a fist for u. but honestly nobody's safe from the kissy monster, aka adrian. )
[Deserves all the smooches]
[No prompt preferences. Platonic and romantic alike are fine. Olivia's likely to be incredibly shy either way.]
[It's Carol's first time celebrating any kind of seasonal holiday in Ravka and she's doing her best to balance not bothering Nikolai too much with asking enough questions to not look foolish to the other guests.
In a rare moment where he's not surrounded by people, Carol spots Nikolai against a wall, nonchalantly sipping a drink. As she approaches, she notices the spring of green with white berries hung high up in the eaves.]
Ravka does that too? [she asks while gesturing up to the plant.] We do that where I come from.
