Sent to everyone in the park as well, but a bit politer

Mr. Fell and Miss Liddell
cordially invite you to a Holiday party

To be held, five days from today,
after sunset at our home

Above the Fire station,
Main Street

Kindly RSVP by post

We look forward to seeing you





Crowley, I'd really like it if you came, but don't feel obligated if you'd rather not. Oh, I'll need some good brandy and rum for cooking and drinks. Do you have any you could spare? Actually, I also need nutmeg if you can find any.

I really do hope you'll come,

Aziraphale

((I'll start a thread for the party on the 23rd, under the understanding of course than many of us will be posting infrequently around then. For new people still in applications, if you're assigned a land before the 23rd, assume you were invited. ^^))

Mr Fell and Miss Liddell,

Thank you for your kind invitation; I'd be delighted. I'll speak to Calvin; I'm sure he'd be happy to join you as well.

Sincerely,
Susan Sto Helit

Mr Fell and Miss Liddell.

I would be...very interested, to say the least, to join your party on the appointed night. I shall be there.

Mokona hums happily as it starts writing the response Fay asked it to. It's almost nice that Fay can't write and Mokona can, because this way Mokona can add its own little comments in the message.

Dear Fell-san and Liddell-san, thank you very much for the invitation.

Mokona is so excited!

We will be there. Even Kuro-rin. We'll drag him if he's being a silly doggy.

Kuro-daddy always is such a silly doggy.

Have you met Kuro-pon yet? He's not as scary as he looks. A little scary.

A lot scary, thinks Mokona! But he doesn't bite! Well, anybody but Fay-mommy anyway!

But don't send him away.

Because then Fay-mommy would get sad.

Anyway, thank you again! Fay and Mokona and Kuro-doggy

And Mokona wrote the letter! ^_^

Aziraphale,

You cannot be serious. What part of 'demon' and 'celebration of the birth of Him incarnate' could you possibly think went together? We don't get on, if you'll recall.

If you want the liquor, you'll have to come pick it up.

-Crowley

((This isn't necessarily the final work on his attendance. He may yet be convinced...))

[stylishtartan.livejournal.com]

Crowley,

If you read the invitation, you'll see that it is clearly a holiday party, not a Christmas party. That could mean anything, you know. In fact, coming and considering it solstice or something would be a bit like tempting me to partake in heathen celebrations, if that helps. Also, I'll be making eggnog, and I'll have you know I make very good eggnog.

But if your mind's made up, I suppose there's nothing more I can do. Is it all right if I stop by tomorrow?

Your friend,

Aziraphale

All evidence to the contrary, he was not planning to give up. He wouldn't force Crowley, but, well, he was an angel, even if he was a cynical one. They may not have known exactly which night Christmas was on here, but he'd feel terribly leaving his best friend alone on the night everyone was celebrating. It just wasn't done.

[anthony-crowley.livejournal.com]

A-

Right. A holiday party. Hosted by an angel. As near to December 25th as we can figure.

I should be around.

-C

[stylishtartan.livejournal.com]

Crowley,

You know as well as I do December 25th was a completely arbitrary date, anyway.

Aziraphale

[anthony-crowley.livejournal.com]

A-

Yeah, I remember. It was still bloody cold.

-C

[stylishtartan.livejournal.com]

Crowley,

My intention wasn't to offend you, Crowley. Do you honestly think I could have not invited you? As I said, you needn't come if you don't want to. But I will miss you.

Aziraphale

[anthony-crowley.livejournal.com]

A-

Miss me then.

I'll see you next year.

-C

[stylishtartan.livejournal.com]

Aziraphale sighed when he read the letter, and didn't write back. There'd be no convincing Crowley, it seemed, but Aziraphale still hated the idea of leaving him alone. He'd have to do something else, it seemed.

[stylishtartan.livejournal.com]

((As noted above, it's a holiday party. Demons welcome XP))

[goes-lightly.livejournal.com]

Mr. Fell and Miss Liddell,

That sounds charming! I'd love to attend a party!

Mr. Fell and Ms. Liddell,

Thanks for the kind invitation; I'll be there with bells on.

-Cayce P.

Reposted for the downright lie

[tas-wanderlust.livejournal.com]

Dear Mr. Fell and Miss Liddell,

Oh boy! I love parties! I'll be there for sure! Do you need anything? Will there be entertainment? What kind of party is this? I hope it's not one of those stuffy parties, but I hope lots of people will be there. Will lots of people be there? I know I will be!

-Tasslehoff Burrfoot

Because Alice learnt it was rude to leave questions unanswered

[alicereflection.livejournal.com]

Dear Mr Burrfoot,

I do believe there is nothing we urgently require, but if you desire to bring food or drink of some sort you are quite welcome to.

It is a Christmas party. Entertainment will mostly consist of speaking with the other residents here, though carol singing is not out of the question.

The reception so far has been very good. I do believe a great many people will be there, if the number of those who have replied is anything to go by.

I look forward to seeing you at the party,

Yours sincerely,

Alice Liddell

[tas-wanderlust.livejournal.com]

Dear Alice Liddell,

I'll be there! It just wouldn't be a party without Tasslehoff Burrfoot!

Sincerely,

Tasslehoff Burrfoot

[snitchnicker.livejournal.com]

Mr. Fell and Miss Liddell,

Count me in. Will you need us to bring anything?

-James Potter

[alicereflection.livejournal.com]

Dear Mr Potter,

There is nothing we urgently require, though if there is anything you wish to bring we shall certainly accept.

I look forward to seeing you at the party,

Yours sincerely,

Alice Liddell

[bestdigger.livejournal.com]

Mr Fell and Miss Liddell

I shall certainly be there. May I offer any contributions to the festivities in the way of food or drink?

-Sallah

[alicereflection.livejournal.com]

Dear Mr Sallah,

There is nothing we urgently require, though if there is anything you wish to bring we shall certainly accept.

I look forward to seeing you at the party,

Yours sincerely,

Alice Liddell

[a-good-man.livejournal.com]

Daniel hesitated a long time before writing a reply. Then feeling silly for his hesitance, he carefuly wrote out an RSVP.

Dear Mr. Fell and Miss Liddell,

Thank you for the invitation. I'd very much like to attend. Is there anything I can bring or do to help?

Sincerely,

Daniel Jackson

[alicereflection.livejournal.com]

Dear Mr Jackson,

There is nothing we urgently require, though if there is anything you wish to bring we shall certainly accept.

I look forward to seeing you at the party,

Yours sincerely,

Alice Liddell

[john-adams-1776.livejournal.com]

John hadn't met Miss Liddell yet. Perhaps his earlier suppositions were wrong? But a celebration on behalf of the season was in order. He might meet more of his fellow residents.

Dear sir and madam:

I gratefully accept your invitation.

Your servant,
J. Adams

[sukinana.livejournal.com]

((...You know, I was totally going to have her reply to this and then I went.... "ARG NANA, WHY DON'T YOU SPEAK ENGLISH?!"))

Wah! Why are people sending her letters in English all ready?

Still, she recognizes the name at least.

Fell-san,

Please forgive me, I didn't understand most of that. (Drawn here is a picture of sheepish looking puppy)

-Komatsu Nana

[stylishtartan.livejournal.com]

((XD I wish I'd remembered that, b/c he so would have written hers in Japanese. I think Az needs to write me a very annoyed dear mun letter about ettiquette))

Enclosed is a copy of the invitation in Japanese, as well as a postscript.

Ms Komatsu,

Do forgive me for forgetting to translate. I hope you'll be able to join us.

[sukinana.livejournal.com]

Fell-san,

Of course I would love to come! And it's okay. I should probably learn English if I'm to stay here...

-Komatsu Nana

[swordandchalice.livejournal.com]

Aziraphale and Alice,

Sure.

Your friend,
- Setsuna

Sent some time later

[swordandchalice.livejournal.com]

Aziraphale, Alice,

Sorry about this guys, but I'm going to have to cancel. Something came up, but I'm sure it'll be a great party, so have fun.

Merry Christmas.

- Setsuna

[alicereflection.livejournal.com]

Dear Setsuna,

Are you quite all right? I do not mean to pry, but if there is something wrong and you wish to discuss it with someone, there will I do not hesitate to tell me. I am, after all, your friend.

Yours, Alice

[swordandchalice.livejournal.com]

Alice,

Err, why do you ask that? It's just that something came up. I'm sorry. I'll still go visit you, if you'd like.

- Setsuna

Along with the note is a black cat plushie, with a tag that says, "Merry Christmas."

The last thing Setsuna had wanted was to worry Alice, that's why he had tried to be as cheerful as possible in the last letter. Of course...excuses were hard to come by in Disneyland. It's not like he could just say, "My aunt died. Please let me tend to her funeral," or something along those lines.

[devils-handbook.livejournal.com]

Mr. Fell and Miss Liddell,

I'd be glad to attend. It sounds like a good way to meet new people. Yourselves included.

Thanks for the invite, it was a nice surprise.

-Hiruma Youichi

Needless to say, Hiruma can seem much more wholesome in a letter. Not that he'd lied about anything in the letter, it just... came across a bit differently, perhaps, when not accompanied by a sharp and too-wide grin.

Hehe, forgot to do this before... oh yeah, I have TWO characters now, lol...

[king-longshanks.livejournal.com]

Shortly after the invitations were sent, a note was pinned to the door above the fire station.*

Mr. Fell and Miss Liddell,

I thank you for your invitation. I would be honored to attend your celebration.

Strider

*((Because no one has explained the mail thing to Aragon, and I don't think he'd get it on his own. I imagine he probably had a hard time figuring out pens, too… :D ))
