Whenever she feels up to the task~!

She'll need some sleep, first.

Eridani might go get a snack, then.

So long as she brings something back for Jadis.

Can do.

One last kiss for luck, and then she'll head down to the main bar again.

The bar is a lot more crowded now, with different decorations up - tinsel and shiny ornaments and lit only by the soft glow of multi-colored fairy lights - and soft music playing ('I've been an awful good girl, Santa baby -'), and a crowd dressed in colorful knitted sweaters with a few people in red or green miniskirts with a white fur trim, and a group barely visible in one of the bigger nooks, staring at something out of her line of sight. 

Ah, now it's a party. She skips over to the bar, humming along to the music. (Not that she knows the song, but the melody's not hard to pick up.)

"Hello miss bar! Do you have any good snacks?"

It's a pretty helpfully simple song! And apparently popular.

A placard pops up with a, "Yes, do you have any requests? And would you like another drink?"

"Yes! Can you surprise me again, on both of those? Also I had some questions about the whole Christmas thing, now that Jadis isn't here to get upset about it..."

Voila! A creamy white and light blue drink in a cup shaped like a snowman, and a bowl with a handle on one side for carrying (somewhat of a large mug, really) that's red with white snowflakes, full of assorted finger foods. (And a little placard with the very reasonable price.)

"You might want to ask some of the people here," says a napkin. "I'm afraid I don't know very much."

"I'll do that." She drops a couple silver coins on the counter and takes the mugs. "Thank you very much."

Then off to talk to people! One of her favorite things. Maybe she'll make more new friends. Wonder what that big group in the corner is about...

The big group in the corner seem to be watching - a screen with drawings acting out a play? The music cuts out when she looks at the screen, in favor of the audio of the movie, where the characters are going to see someone called 'The Snow Miser.'

What!! That's so cool!

There's seats open if she wants to watch! Though she might have to get cozy with someone for the best view.

She has no problems with that. As long as no one else does. She can share her snacks as a bribe if required... Usually that's not, though. This is the hottest piece of Dragonblood ass in the bar we're talking about.

She can convince quite a few people of that, including two very pretty lightly-beastfolk women (both some sort of cat) who'd love to have her in their laps while they feed her snacks.

Nice. Maybe they can help her out with cultural context for these singing moving pictures, too?

They'd love to! One of them actually turns out to be a stop motion animation geek, which possibly isn't exactly the kind of cultural context Eridani was looking for. (Though if she wants to understand Christmas movies, well, the only thing for that is a binge watch, isn't it?)

That sounds exactly like a proportional and well-reasoned solution. Eridani is all for it.

And then she can rewatch this movie from the beginning once she has more context!

Sounds perfect. Heat Miser will still be her favorite, though, she doesn't see that changing.

This elicits giggles and a sly joke about how hot she is. 

See, that's just empirically true. Eridani is the hottest, in all senses of the word.

Unfortunately she can't demonstrate most of those senses in the main room...

Very sad. Tragic. Maybe they can find another room after the movies.
