First floor lobby, all day

Sometime either in the middle of the night or very early in the morning, a large, beautiful, undecorated Christmas tree ended up in the first floor lobby of the dorms. No idea how it got there, but it's not the weirdest thing to happen in Fandom. Neither is the fact that there are also boxes and boxes of completely moddable decorations lying out. Ornaments, garland, tinsel, it's all there. Also not weird is the fact that someone set up a little table with apple cider, hot chocolate and gingerbread cookies. And a little CD player with Christmas music CD's beside it.

The fact that someone stuck a big red bow on the alien fish tank? Okay, that's a little odd.

Really, the tree is lonely without decoration and people should really fix that.

[Welcome to the dorms' tree-trimming party! Post is open all day so no one misses out ICly or hopefully OOCly. Just try to state when your character is there if you can, just so no wonky timeline issues happen if someone's not around in the morning but pings someone who is. First floor lobby means teachers can join in, so have at it.
OCD is coming up!]

Pippi describes a small wooden tower that spins and has propellers on the top (http://www.christkindl-markt.com/level-angel-shepherd-nativity-pyramid-p-603.html?osCsid=411ac77b7e2aa2dacf441b248588b4f3). The base has candle holders on it, when the candles are lit, the heat rises and turns the propellers which in turn moves the tower and the little figures on it go round like a little parade.

Pippi nodded. "They're adorable." she said and ZOMG expensive! added the mun

Pippi clapped her hands at the turning tree.

"That's brilliant! I was going to offer to stand on a table or something but you can move two things around at once!"

Hmm, been a while since she's stood on a table... Though spinning the tree across the room would be cool

"Okay." Pippi says, and pulls a handwavy end table over to the tree and got up on it to take a hold of the strand of lights.

Pippi wasn't expecting the tug but recovers, the table she's standing on however gives off a cracking noise...

"Yeah, I think you're right." Pippi started to step off the table but it collapsed beneath her. Lucky for her, she had a good hold on the string of lights.

Pippi fell into the chair.

"Oof!"
