text: 12/30 -early afternoon

If we were still in Wechester City, I'd suggest a New Years Eve party at my place. It would have been a lot easier to manage without a curfew.

But now I'm wondering if it's still possible? Unfortunately, this puts people at risk to run into whatever the guards are watching so vigilantly for, should they want to leave the party once the new year has begun.

And as big as my house is, I don't really have the room for people to stay over, much as I'd love to let people sleep here. But I have one spare bedroom and I'd be more than fine with sleeping on the couch while someone borrowed my room.

But, and I know this is last minute, but what if we all got rooms in the hotel and had a party in one of their ballrooms?

I already checked; it's open to use. No one's booked it for late-night parties for months.

Would anyone be interested? There's also the option to celebrate via video call, but nothing beats interacting face to face, you know?

That sounds like a good idea to me. I think we could use a night of fun and not worrying. Hopefully.

I know this is last minute, but would you like to help me set this party up? I think you're right and that we really all could use a night of fun.

Of course! The distraction will be nice, both the decorating and the party. :D

Definitely. Okay. Let me get in contact with the hotel, and see about reservations, and then I'll get back to you. And thank you. I really appreciate your help.

Sounds good, let me know when I should be there!

[ Evie's response is delayed. She immediately set about making arrangements and asking questions. So when she does answer back, the message is short. ]

Can you be at the hotel in two hours? That's when Snow and I are going to start setting up.

[ It's fine since Allison really isn't doing much besides hanging around her house, so her response is fairly quick when Evie's text comes in. ]

For sure, I'll be there! Do we need someone strong to lift things?

I have a couple of the hotel staff looking to help us out, but past that it's just decorating and getting the tables set up for refreshments.

I'll make the food! I made friends with the kitchen staff and they said I could borrow the kitchen whenever I liked!

One of my favorite ways to spend time with you is in the kitchen, so I'm absolutely for this idea. And I love how you make friends with everyone, dearest sister.

I ran into those boys from school you befriended and they asked about you.

I am especially fond of it too! You have such wonderful insight on baking!

Hmm... would you like me to ask the guards about what is outside the walls?[She IS Snow White, if anyone could get someone to spill about what's beyond the walls, it would be her.]

Oh! They came with the move! How wonderful! I still have the lasagna recipe memorized, I should make that for the party! Though that might be a bit heavy for midnight.

I wonder if we can figure out how to make them bite-sized? That way people can eat a couple and not fill up too fast.

Hmm... well, we could make it as we normally would, and then just slice them into small bites, letting a toothpick hold it together, perhaps? Frying it or breading it would do the dish a disservice. So let's see, how can we keep it all together on the toothpick?

Perhaps I could make it a taller lasagna and then there would be much more on the toothpick!

wel i already hav an outfit for it if you decide to do it.

[This definitely looks like it was written by someone who learned how to read at eight years old and hasn't practiced in the past decade or so. What can he say? Give the poor guy an A for effort.]

Please do come. The party starts at seven, so no one's out after curfew trying to get here. We're looking forward to seeing you.

Hav ing peeple see me is what i am always afrad of.

This sounds like fun, so I'm in.

Wonderful! We're looking forward to seeing you. The party starts at seven.

Got it. I'll make sure to be there on time.

That actually sounds like a great idea.

Let me know if you need any help setting up or getting anything together.

Do you think you'll be able to get to the hotel in two hours? Myself, my sister, my friend Allison and a couple others are starting set-up then. The more hands we have on deck, the faster we'll have this set up.

Of course! I should be able to et there then. Do you want me to bring anything on my way over?

I would love to come. Let me know if you need an extra pair of hands to help.

We'd love it. Set-up starts in two hours. We have a lot of people helping, so we should get this done quickly.

Alright, it won't take me too long to get there then.

[Hi, not quite sister! Gansey isn't sure how to address that through text, so he focuses on New Year's Eve instead.]

I'd prefer an actual party to video calls.

I could help with decorating or anything else you might need a hand with.

[ Never in Evie's life has she ever felt any degree of awkward. Not that she remembers, at any rate. And even if she did, she got over it quick.

This was just a tad different. This was family that she had and remembered but that was a different her. So this was a little weird.

Still, it's Evie. She's going to smile through it. ]

Same here. I like people, and being around people. A video chat wouldn't work for me.

I'd love more help with decorations. I'm keeping them simple, but elegant. So it won't take long.
