WHAT A PRIVILEGE IT IS TO LOVE — Jacob was excited about this. Well, he was anxious too, his insomnia from the night before proved that, but it'd all been worth it. After some discussion, Leigh had allowed Snowbound to enter a trial alliance with Typhoon and Jacob intended to make the most of it. He wanted to do something classy but something that'd make everyone feel comfortable enough to have decent conversations. So, he decided to set up all sorts of blankets and pillows in the main tunnel and then blocked off individual dens with some curtains that he'd also made with his own paws. Of course, he hadn't made it all this week. He adored sewing and knitting and he was able to acquire this many over time. He hadn't been willing to leave a single one behind in the city, after all.
Once he'd gotten all the furnishings out, he set out some hot chocolate and various baked goods along with a large pot of pasta and sauce. He also had some cold drinks and, probably to the surprise of some, a bit of wine. While Jacob wasn't fond of drinking, he knew his guests might appreciate it and he was careful enough to place it on a surface elevated enough that it'd be difficult for any children to reach. Besides, it was only wine. He didn't want anyone getting completely wasted, after all. He probably wouldn't touch any all night. He was far too susceptible to the murky depths of alcohol and usually found his mind clouded before he even finished a single glass. No, he'd be sticking to water and hot chocolate.
When they'd left the city, he and Jersey had brought all sorts of musical devices with them and one of those devices was a fairly large speaker that was able to run on it's own. Jacob wasn't sure exactly how it worked, they'd found it in the trash a long time ago, but he set it up and allowed some light, cozy, instrumental music echo through the tunnels. Now that everything was set up, all that was left to do was wait for his guests to arrive. He was sure the Snowbounders would be here soon enough but the pirates might take a bit longer. He'd given them a map to get here and he'd made sure to leave a trail for them to follow of rocks. The weather hadn't been too bad so he was sure they'd still be able to see everything he'd set out. He could always go out and look for them if it came to that, though.
When the first few people began to trickle in, he stood near the center of his arrangements and called, "Thank you all so much for comin'. 'M real excited for ya'll ta' get ta' know each other. However, there's more than jus' this li'l party. I also set up private rooms where are blocked off by the curtains ya' can see hangin' around. This is a sorta' blind date event that I decided ta' set up so we can get more one-on-one conversations. All ya' gotta' do is come up 'ere n' either tell me whether ya' wanna' do a romantic or platonic event n' then tell me what your preferences are if ya' choose romantic or ya' can jus' write it on those li'l cards I got up by that box. Drop 'em in the box n' then I'll pair everyone off in a bit. While we're waiting for that, though, feel free ta' enjoy the food out 'ere n' get ta' know each other. I hope ya'll 'ave a nice night n' if anyone needs somethin', feel free ta' come get me," he explained before turning and starting to wander around the room to greet whoever happened to arrive first. —A GREAT HONOR TO HOLD YOU UP
