A Christmas Feast (Finished)

[This is a completely open thread. Bring whoever and do whichever. Please keep quantity of attendees considerate. But please message me before hand if you're thinking of clobbering someone, flipping the table etc. as Silver wanted this to be lovely and sweet!]


Whilst Silver wasn't exactly renowned as a world class wrestler, nor had she made even the tiniest of steps towards earning near any kind of prestige amongst her fellow Friction superstars, Silver was somewhat hopeful that she had become at least a little well known as a sweet bubbly girl you'd want to know! In something of a break for the girl's usual self, Silver had even gone so far as to not only acquire private access to a small AFW mess hall, but advertise for a small open feast with flyers near littering the hallways of AFW.

With the food only partially prepared in the small connected kitchen, Silver would set the last few places to the small table. Whilst it was only able to seat a handful of feasters, the room did come equipped with several more tables pushed to the side that the buxom host could easily adjust into place. That being said, she was not so cocky as to set a table for a hundred! Clad in but a simple white dress, Silver would take ever-so-slight preferential care in the placing of the seat next to her own. Miyabi Takiyama was not only the big girl's debut opponent in the world of AFW and first friend within the company, but also one Silver had especially invited, with said place being left with something of a cute note signifying said place was for her.

With that in mind, Silver was more than happy to simply indulge in the food by herself if needs be-albeit she was of course hopeful that someone would take her up on her offer, be it past encounter or a brand new face!

Eka was happy to be in Tokyo. It was a nice city, and there was always something to do. Except for now. She was fresh off of a fight, and would not need to train for a little while. Finals were over, and it would be another few weeks before her new semester started. So Eka could not simply sit back and let the excitement come to her, like she usually did, and she had to go out and find it.

Which meant that Eka had to find the tackiest Christmas sweater she could find and hop on the subway. It wasn't a tacky sweater party, but Eka missed America sometimes, and would do her best to bring a little bit of America with her. The sweater was a particularly garish color of red, and was festooned with awful looking reindeer. Her jeans were a bit nicer,and clung to her skin by only the thinnest of margins. The Georgian girl opted to wear flats, as she figured she would be on her feet for most of the evening.

Now that she was approaching the mess hall, she wondered if she should have brought something. Like a present, or some wine or something. The Georgian girl stopped for a bit, before she kept walking. If push came to absolute shove, she was sure she could lead a wine run out to one of these little corner shops.

She wrapped on the door with her knuckles. "This is the right place, yes?"

Manager sighed as he walked up to the mess hall entrance, suited up for possibly the first time in the AFW except he would still being wearing his fedora, tipped down to cover his tinted glasses. Wrapped around his arm was Abigail Snow dressed a bit more fancy than usual. If you considered a fancy shirt and blazer to be fancy that is. As for Manager, he had been walking in the AFW's halls one day doing some errands when his wrestler Abigail walked up to him and showed him a flyer promoting a Christmas party hosted by Lara Silver. Never ever asking him for anything before, Manager thought this would be a good social event for Abigail to participate and decided to let her go. To his dismay, she dragged him along. Although before they did enter the mess hall, Manager and Abigail did see a tall girl in a tacky Christmas sweater.

"You're at the right place," Manager quickly said to the girl, immediately recognizing her as Eka Guramishvili from the profiles he's reviewed with Abigail. He would open the door for the two before going in himself. He would turn Abigail around to tell her some ground rules.

"Abigail, I'll wait by the doors for when you'd like to leave," Manager said, "And by that I mean, you're staying here until you can start a decent conversation with at least three people."

"Um, Manager. Can you go with me?" Abigail asked.

"Nope," Manager replied, crossing his arms, "This can help you build up your social skills. But don't worry, I'll be right here. Now go greet the hostess. I heard she's quite a teddy bear." Manager pointed Abigail to a big woman with silver hair. Abigail would look shy for the first time which caused Manager to smile, a rare sight as she watched the snow hair girl walk over to greet Lara.

Once Abigail walked over to Lara, her normal emotionless face would return as her stoic manner returned and she introduced herself to the giant. "Evening Ms. Lara Silver, a pleasure to meet you," Abigail introduced and bowed slightly, "My name is Abigail Snow. Thank you for organizing this event."

Silver had barely finished setting down the plates, let alone begin preparation of drinks when her first guest knocked on the west entrance to the room; the entrance with door, as opposed to the more open walk-in east side which was connected to the rest of the building. Keen to see who her first guest would be, she'd somewhat joyously hop to answer the door right before she found it opening on it's own, to find a familiar face behind it!

"Oh my god, Eka!" Silver would yelp in an excited glee, the door wide open as she somewhat clapped in her joy. Silver had already encountered the Georgian beauty in the ring, and was thereby already somewhat familiar with the girl's tone and accent, or more so, her interpretation of English. Fittingly, the buxom hostess would keep her own simple. "Thank you for coming!" Silver's hand would softly go to the wrist of her first guest as she lead Eka into the room, her next words partially interrupted, before she could even exchange pleasantries with the familiar face.

"Would you like something to dri-Oh!" Silver's eyes would shift from the beauty to the woman who appeared behind Eka, quickly introducing herself and curiously enough, thanking Silver for hosting a celebration.

"You're...welcome?" Silver would mutter in a curious tone, eyes briefly falling to the Georgian beauty besides her before back to this new face. Friendly but somewhat shy given the tone, Silver would quickly scoot over to grab three glasses, thrusting them somewhat into the hands of her first two guests before her hand pointed to the table of modest choice of drink behind her, both alcoholic and non.

"Help yourself!"

"...Thank you...," Abigail thanked as she took another bow before taking the glass from Silver. She would glance back at Manager leaning at a wall and, as Silver said, 'helped herself' to another glass. She could tell from Lara's reaction that she clearly had something she wanted to talk to Eka and walked back to Manager with the two glasses and handed him.

"Did I do okay?" Abigail asked. Manger would take the drink and shrugged.

"Can't tell. You and I both could see those two wanted to meet so I guess we can wait for other guests to arrive," Manager said before pointing Abigail a seat and told her to wait for more party attendees to come. Manager took a whiff of the glass and realized it was alcohol. He opted not to drink it but saw Abigail taking small sips.

Wonder how well Abigail can handle alcohol, Manager thought as he held the glass, thinking screw it and downed his drank as if it was a shot.

"Heyyyyy!!!!!" A voice yelled from around the corner. Julia slowly stumbled forward with an oversized box in her grasp. She figured if she was going to a party it would be rude to come empty handed. Plus since Silver was so nice to her in the ring, this was how Julia would pay her back. "A little help please?" She begged as she tried as hard as she could to not drop what she was holding. The last thing she wanted to do was ruin Silver's present.

The gymnast finally waddled into view of everyone else. Now standing in the doorway she waited for someone to come and help her. Instead of her usual blue hair, today she dyed it red. Combined with her green sweatshirt  and red tights, most would admit that she was fairly Christmas themed. The only thing she was missing was a Santa hat, a prop the gymnast had forgot at home as she rushed out the door.

Eka stepped into the cafeteria. She had been here a few times before, as she liked to study here at AFW. This was a surprisingly good place to study, plus, she could work out right afterward. And now, she could party a little bit. Someone outside had told her that she was in the right place, which was a good sign. When she entered, she looked around a bit, and marveled the surroundings. It was rather festive.

She had met Silver in the ring, and was quite happy to see her again. Eka hardly ever bore bad feelings towards those she wrestled, and Silver was no exception. "Thanks," she responded to Silver's welcome. Before long, she meandered on over to the drink table, and poured herself a cup of warm cider. It was sweet and nice and Eka loved it.

Then she saw someone struggling, carrying something apparently heavy. She set her drink down and walked over, trying to be helpful. "You would like some help, yes?"

Manager would wait by the doorway when he heard someone calling out for help. Eka had passed him and helped someone and carrying a pretty big box. It was Julia Hiroshi and he would've said hi but soon realized he didn't have Abigail bring a present!

"Oh crap," Manager muttered as he quickly rushed to Abigail, placed his drink down and said, "That's Julia Hiroshi. Nice girl. You talk. She listen. Got it, I have to run out for a bit since I forgot something." Before Abigail could answer he would rush out the doors but not before apologizing the gymnast for not helping her sooner. Abigail would sit at her table dumbfounded, a rare state for her to be in but looked at Miss. Hiroshi and contemplated how to greet her. Perhaps after her conversation with Miss. Eka?

Silver had already quickly resumed her table setting motions for the while, somewhat embarrassed by the awkward presence of a new face that apparently just wanted to socialise with her aptly named, 'Manager.' She would have attended to the face she'd met before, had she not felt so rude socialising with one and not the other given they both entered at the same time. Luckily her embarrassment quickly faded, as yet another familiar face for the girl made an appearance.

"Wha...-" Silver's confusion quickly transformed into surprise, and then shock. A girl she had silently wished would appear not only did so, but was carrying a present that dwarfed her upper body. Knocking over a single glass onto the table as she quickly turned, a glass that did not shatter thankfully, Silver would rush to Julia the instant the taller Eka had removed the gift from her hands. She felt somewhat rude that she had simply rushed past a guest she had yet to make conversation with as said guest did her a favour.

But Silver simply couldn't refrain herself from embracing the cute new friend who thought she needed to bring a gift, cuddling Julia a little too hard as she greeted her!

"Julia! Thank you for coming so much! You didn't have to bring anything!"

Julia sighed in relief as the box was taken out of her hands. "Oh god...thanks" she said, quite happy to have the load taken away. She looked around for a few seconds to take in all of the decorations. She was impressed by how much effort seemed to go into making this party happen. "OH GOD!" She soon gasped as Silver crushed her in her grasp. "Th...Thanks but I wanted....TOO tight!" The green haired girl cringed and started wiggling around, trying to squirm away. She loved hugs as much as the next girl but this was getting ridiculous. She felt a little weird being the only person to have brought something, but she figured she'd also benefit a bit from the present.

Still kicking slightly, Julia was getting used to being squeezed. She smiled and gave her friend a decent sized hug herself. "So can you put me down so we can actually party? I don't need flashbacks from our match." She joked. The gymnast would wake to Eka and Abigail, ready to introduce herself as soon as she was let go.
