Well it's finally here. Thanksgiving. Saori promised to make this quite a feast and she definitely was thankful for all the help. After recent events ranging from loss to regaining powers, this provided an opportune time to bond with fellow captors. Those not helping in setting up, might be getting a text to remind them of the event.

Pre-Dinner

[needsteaplz]

[Anyone who's helping make dinner or getting the place ready, threads go here.]

[technologic]

[And here's one April who is helping to get dinner ready.]

Aaah... Do you think we'll have enough for everyone?

[needsteaplz]

[Saori checks on one of three turkeys before putting it back in the oven.]

I'm pretty sure we should have. There's plenty of food to go around. Plus, it's all pretty filling stuff when you think about it.

[unknownrival]

[Issei's hard at work, both in the kitchen and making last-minute adjustments the decorations. He's not so busy that he can't stop and chat, though.]

[namedforcat]

[Hey Issei, have someone with a bit of height helping you with the decorations. As promised, he's staying out of the kitchen.]

Can you hand me the scissors please?

[cosmicsoul]

*Jupiter's setting out half a farmer's market's worth of locally grown carrots and potatoes.*

Hey, like, where does the turkey go?

[needsteaplz]

[Saori comes over because girl, she can notice some really good food when it's around.]

Oooh, that looks delicious! The turkeys are going to be centerpieces so setting them in between would make a lovely arrangement.

Dinner times

[needsteaplz]

[It's the moment everyone is waiting for. There's usual fare of turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, yams, and extra foods like ham and pies to go around. There's cider, wine, and other drinks to wash down the food as well.]

[scentofmakai]

This is a lot of food.

This is great!

[He's not used to getting to eat this much.]

[trueempress]

Would a prayer before the meal be in poor taste, or even feasible?

[forgivethemtheirpain]

I wouldn't really mind if you pray to whoever you had back home.

[forgivethemtheirpain]

Wow! I've never even seen this kind of food before!

[pikajanken]

I know! I never heard of Thanksgiving until I came here!

There's so much food here!

[breatheinthefog]

*Kaoru pokes at her food. What r turkey.*

[namedforcat]

Here, why don't you try it with some of the gravy? [He's just going to offer her the boat]

Post Dinner

[needsteaplz]

[Food coma anyone? Chances are, even if you had Black Friday plans, you're not going anywhere with that full stomach. Lounge around, have chat and let that fluffy feeling of the holidays sink in.]

[gaveupfeeling]

That dinner was amazing.

[papermache]

No kidding.

*Flopped over on the floor, with a power cord leading from her to the wall.*

[technologic]

[There's a muffled sound of agreement from where April is flopped face-first into a couch.]

[harpbeat]

[Guess where that lovely harp music is coming from?

It's Eater, of course, but since it's after sunset it may be a bit of a surprise to see him strumming away.]

[needsteaplz]

[She slow claps only because she's drowsy from food.]

Thank you for that lovely music.

[technologic]

[Time to be a lazy-ass? Time to be a lazy-ass.

April has found a couch to flop on and is now just sitting there. Not moving. The only thing that hints that she's not asleep is how she occasionally opens her eyes to look at what everyone else is doing.]

[heavenscorpse]

At the bookstore they were talking about the football game and how it was traditional to watch it every year.

What does being thankful have to do with sports?

[pikajanken]

[Don't mind Yayoi as she's taken a nice comfy hair to lie down on.]

Oh that was so good. I wish Miyuki and the others were here too!

[needsteaplz]

[Saori was nursing a mug of mulled cider. There's no way she's going to go out during the Dark Hour. Seeing everyone had a good time, it was safe to say this dinner was a complete success.]
