FANDOM HOLIDAY FAIR, the Park, Wednesday

The bears had changed the decorations on the tent overnight, but it was still there. Now, it was bathed in the tasteful light of candles, menorahs placed around the area, with little stars hanging off the edges of the fluffy white roof.

The booths and stands were still there, however. As was the seating. And the skating rink remained open - just for this one last day.

Of course Steven and Llewellyn were going to make a beeline for the food when they got there. Steven tucked into one with cranberries to start.

Steph had taken a quick break from manning the store to run down and grab some gifts for the Haven Springs gang, but she had to stop in and grab a couple more nice fluffy blankets for home, too. Not that she expected to get much use out of them herself, given the way Vi hogged the covers, but hey, as long as someone enjoyed them.

Pleasantly full of latkes and sufganiyot, Watts was taking a bit of a stroll before meeting back up with Steven to go skating.

"Steph, hello!" he greeted with a cheerful wave.
drumsticksandd20s: (Hell Yeah)

"Llewellyn!" Steph waved at him with the hand that was holding several different tea blends, since the blankets were taking up her entire other arm. "Having a good Hanukkah so far?"

"Wonderful," Watts reported. "We exchanged presents last night already, since Steven and I are off to northern Canada for New Year's."
drumsticksandd20s: (Smiling - Thanks For Playing)

"Oh, nice," Steph said. "Wait, northern Canada? What are you going to do up there?"

"Enjoy the Northern Lights," Watts told her. "As well as take a sleigh ride, and go ice skating..." which they could also do here, but there was something about doing it at night, far away from any city-based light pollution that just made it different.

"Oh, sick," Steph replied with no small amount of visible appreciation. "I gotta add that to my wishlist of places to go. I don't know why it isn't already there."

Probably because the likelihood of you getting a band gig that far north was not great, Steph.

"When are you heading out?" she wanted to know. "Vi and I are taking a quick visit to Colorado for the weekend, but we'll be back before New Year's."

"We shall be as ships passing in the night, then," Watts said. "At least until we're in the new year itself. We're heading out Monday morning, and coming back on Thursday."

"Ah, damn. Our portal out is tomorrow, and then we're back Sunday night." Steph sort of waved the bag dangling off her wrist. "Thus, loading up on gifts for my friends back in Haven. Couldn't pass up the chance to present people with mittens hand -- uh, paw-knitted by a beaver."

"Not the sort of thing they're likely to find elsewhere," Watts agreed. "I suppose I'll wish you a happy New Year now, then. And- your Christmas was nice, I hope?"

Steph glanced around quickly for a vacant chair to set down all her things so she could offer him a handshake. "Thanks, man, yeah, it was a good one. Really chill, so I can't complain. Happy New Year to you too, and I hope you guys have an awesome trip when you go."

"Sometimes 'chill' is exactly what's necessary," Watts said, hand swooping out in a large arc to clasp hers. "I hope your time visiting your friends is 'chill' as well."

"It's the Rockies in December, so who knows," Steph said wryly as she gave him a vigorous handshake. "Could get a snowstorm, could be 80 degrees --" sorry, Watts, she could not convert to Celsius on the fly -- "and there's no telling until we get there, but it's pretty much guaranteed to be a good time. This place is bustling compared to Haven Springs, and we won't be as far from civilization as you will, but the view of the stars'll still be a lot nicer than it tends to be here."

She was so proud of you for using that word correctly, too, Watts.

That's all right, Watts was from about sixty-some years before Canada officially switched to metric, anyway.

"If you're inclined to take photographs, I'd love to see some upon my return to the island," Watts said.

"What? Yeah, totally," Steph replied, lighting up at the idea. "It'll be easier than scrolling way back through my phone to find all the old ones anyway. Maybe I can do a little virtual video tour for you, even. That could be fun."
pocketpretzels: (considering)

Re: Booths - The Comfy Store

[personal profile] pocketpretzels 2024-12-27 06:54 am (UTC)(link)
"A virtual video tour," Watts echoed. "If you can put together such a thing, I'd love to see it."

"Oh, no, an opportunity for me to do something fun and creative? The literal worst," Steph said dryly, although from her expression she looked like she was already formulating several dozen plans. "That doesn't sound like fun at all. Oh, wait. The problem is that you might end up having to wait a little bit if I get carried away making it super fancy."

It wasn't actually a huge danger, but she most certainly wasn't going to half-ass it either.
