Argo's winter social. This event will be done in the style of last year's winter social / this year's Risa-summer social, in that there are formal mini-events on top of the regular socializing stuff.
We will not be using all the same events from last year (sorry, snowball fight turns out to be reaaaally hard to score).

5:30 Leisure Time
Time to get out of the cold and settle in with hot drinks in the recreational hall of the Embassy deck. Casual/social RP ensues. This might be a great time to talk about what gifts your character got during the exchange, or if you feel like prepping an entire story, that's cool, too.
Contest screenshots should be posted by this point and admin will throw up a poll so people may vote on the winner. Depending on attendance, poll will be closed shortly after it's initiated or we may wait a few days so non-attendees can vote.
