With small, quiet steps, the pale dragoness entered the area, calm as ever. "I like our respectability getting shot up as much as anyone, but I've been thinking on ways we can boost comradery, especially with the holidays coming up," Daenerys stated, going ahead and putting it out there that, while her ideas were more 'cushy' than ideas usually were, she wasn't interested in making them a bunch of wimps.
"My first idea is similar to Judith's blind date idea from a while back, but tweaked. Since big parties can drown out people, we could have more smaller parties (complete with food and a small campfire), organized by a sign-up page where I'd make the group threads after placing the volunteers in their groups as they roll in - no group would be bigger than five people, to keep things from getting too hectic," she explained, jumping right in and trying to avoid rambling nonsensically. She thought it might be a good way for members to meet others without being in a loud, crowded area that could easily get flooded. After a pause, she added, "I'm willing to do all the heavy lifting, of course." The dragon wasn't a fan of dumping a big project on someone else, after all.
And onto the second idea, of course. "The other thing is definitely more into the holiday spirit - in character Secret Santa. Pretty straightforward: people sign up, I send them pms on who they have," she said, though she frowned slightly as she added, "the problem is that if even one person fails to deliver even a small gift, then someone's going to feel bummed, and that's definitely not something that helps moral or comradry."
