新年快乐！

[bauhinia]

Okay, so the lunar new year is fast approaching! Kind of fast approaching.

All right, it's next month, but we like to get the jump on these things, right? Anyway, Hong Kong has decided that there definitely has to be some kind of crazy to-do for New Years, which begins on February 10th (and runs 'til the 25th, but there won't be 24/7 partying the whole time, promise).

And while I'm sure he can put together a nice little shindig on his own, he will most likely be soliciting the help of everyone he can in order to make it truly extravagant.

Which brings me around to the point here.

If your character can do any of the following and would possibly like to volunteer, please let me know!

We need:

° Crazy insane huge amounts of food!! (Here's some ideas as to what's typically eaten.)
° People who can provide fireworks, and again think "crazy insane huge" amounts I hope you weren't planning to sleep from the 10th to 25th....
° Anyone who knows or is willing to learn the lion dance?
° On that note, maybe people who'd want to make the costumes, since I somehow suspect they aren't in abundance here.
° More food.
° I cannot emphasize the need for huge amounts of food enough.
° Drivers to transport said mass amounts of food....

ALSO!

We're also looking for people to run different "festival" stalls. If you have something you'd like to do, let me know! Some examples might be arts and crafts, prize stalls, food stalls (food is always the answer here, can you tell?), anything you can think of that you might want to do/promote/provide!

I'm tentatively planning for a few posts/logs to go along with this.

1st: Hong Kong's going to be hand-delivering invites thanks Romania and food, probably within the next few days.
2nd: The aforementioned lion dance might have its own log, for people helping to construct the costumes and those learning the dance.
3rd: A log for the actual New Years Eve meal/New Years celebration.

If we're not New Years'd out by then, we'll just have to see.

Anyway, thank you for reading my tl;dr and I hope lots of people can participate in crazy loud insane fun awesome New Years celebrating!

Hong Kong, here comes famiry 8)

Okay, for Vietnam's side, she can help with making/teaching people to make the costumes, the lion heads. And also all the foods. Also in Vietnam, they tend to have this as well (and a few other things), so she'll be bringing those, and/or giving them to Hong Kong to deliver with the invitations?

I swear I had more but whoops brain farts a bit.

[boobytrapped]

Crazy amounts of food you say (which I promptly typo'd as 'good' -yes, this is off to a good start)~?

Tokage actually enjoys cooking! And seems more than decent at it. I mean, he has 800 years of experience, so he kind of. should know what he's doing??

Honkers, really, he won't fall over this time..!

[slushfund]

HIRUMA HAS GOT FIREWORKS ON LOCK.

HOPE YOU DON'T NEED YOUR EARS FOR ANYTHING.

[slushfund]

He will definitely have some kind of football promotion stall, I am not sorry.

[bauhinia]

Vietnam is the best!! Hong Kong will be super grateful for her help. ♥

And if you think of anything else, don't hesitate to put it here! We still have awhile to plan~

[bauhinia]

Crazy amounts of good works too! ♥

Oh, yes. Let's hope so? Bring everything you can carry, Tokage!!

(And we'll trust he won't topple over.)

[bauhinia]

Yes, good. I approve of all of this. /salute

Hiruma gets a gold star for this.

[gege]

OK since i very briefly have a computer ... i wanted China to do something big with this BUT YOu BEAT ME SO if he could help with something important like fireworks that would be cool. of course he'll provide some of the food too.

[bauhinia]

BIG THINGS. Could he do something with the lions? Since making the costumes is technically not common knowledge... they would need more than one person in the know and I guess there probably isn't anyone better than China (JUST A GUESS)? He can also make crazy fireworks!! Because there should be like 10 tons of them. Also 10 tons of food. That too.

China can do all the things, since it's like HIS SHOW, so! Yes. Lead the way. w;A;w

[hoasen]

Iyaaaah it's the least she can do for him, same holiday and all fufufu.

BUT YES I JUST REMEMBERED. Probably help needed for decorations! And maybe some competitions, and some masks for attendees 8)

[castoffskin]

Okay, but don't tell Tokage that, he might just interpret this as a go-ahead to strip!

(why do I always play perverts around you...)

PSHAAAH, he's pretty enough that he will have someone else carry it for him!

[bauhinia]

Family is best!!!

Oh, yes! Good point. We should make a decoration committee or something, haha.

[bauhinia]

Oh dear. (Why do you, as a matter of fact? dsjfgdf)

Oh will he now? ... yes, that sounds like it will work, actually.

[hoasen]

TOTES cutiest family :>

YEAH GOOD IDEA, decoration committee, should they be found before or after the invites are delivered? 8)? Also looking again there's a huge number of houses, so maybe the whole family participating can actually divide it up and help him deliver? (of course that part will be handwaved since it's his post, but just in case 8) )

[slushfund]

HE DOES WHAT HE CAN IN THE MUNITIONSENTERTAINMENT DEPARTMENT.

[jipangu]

Japan can make fish and noodles but he'll have to be dragged there by Hong Kong if he wants Japan to participate maybe

[composure]

volunteering suoh mikoto and him to learn the lion dance??????????

[warmest]

MIKOTO DISAGREES, but Izumo will nag him to death convince him. B|b

[bauhinia]

No one can hope to compete!

I think after, probably. /taps chin

And he needs to deliver ALL of them. It's a personal mission.... Never mind that it will probably take two days or something. This is his task.

[bauhinia]

He never fails, never fails. /just shakes head forever

[bauhinia]

Oh, Hong Kong will be pestering him. You better believe it.

He has this suggestion: Japan, let us make a Japanese lion for lion dance. Showcase your culture.

Tempting, eh?

[hoasen]

oh meine gott there are only beautiful things here.

[bauhinia]

Oh, lovely, volunteers!!! /(yay) face

Just because I'm all like. Super technical and OCD and such, I'll say this: there will be a post with formal sign ups soon! Since I neglected to do that this time and I thought giving it a bit more time was wise as well, but yes!

Do come to us.

Dance the dance.

You know you want to.

[jipangu]

but are you actually going to use it???

[bauhinia]

+1, this will be lovely
