What:A long overdue dinner and a gathering of friends, new and old.
When: Early evening, Wednesday, September 14th
Where: CH 7, kitchen/dining area of floor 4 and maybe 5
Summary: A month ago, Ginia promised Giles, Frederic, and Helios dinner. Now that they're all finally back, and with new friends joining them, it's time to eat!
Rating: PG, PG-13ish if people want to get cuddly.

As discussed, no posting order due to all the people involved. First thread is cooking and set-up, second is for the actual dinner. If you want to do a specific thread (like Helios blowing something up), put any pertinant info in the subject. Timeline is roughly chronological, thread jump at will, and have fun! Prose or action tags are good.

...And let's not set CH7 on fire.

"A date? I wish." Wishbone said wagging his tail and bounding over to Giles. "I just wanted to give everyone something nice to look at." It wasn't easy for a dog to pick flowers and somewhat arrange them. "Lacking opposable thumbs makes it hard to cook you know." Maybe he could have found a way if he thought hard enough about it, but he figured that the flowers would do.

"What did you bring?"

"Steak and kidney pie. Kedgeree. Vegetable soup. Just rather dull food. But, actually possessing opposable thumbs, it is something I'm in a position to do."

He scratches Wishbone along his spine. "This is wonderful, Wishbone. I'm sure everyone will greatly appreciate it."

Wishbone waged his tail, happy with the praise. "I can have some later, right?" He asked hopefully, placing both paws against Giles' leg. He gave Giles the saddest puppy eyes he had. Surely they would spare a few morsels for a poor dog like him? Surely they would not be so cruel?

"'Later'? Why on Earth would you want to wait until later?" He laughed affectionately, patting the dog on the head. "You're our dinner guest as well, Wishbone. I wouldn't recommend sampling everything, but I thought you'd at least like some of the leftover steak."

Wishbone barked gleefully and did a spin to show off his joy. He loves steak! Especially the leftover kind. He wondered if Giles was going to get in trouble for feeding him scraps. He realized though that Giles was smart enough to avoid such catastrophes.

He sat down nicely and looked at Giles expectantly.

"Come on, then." Giles indicated that Wishbone should follow him into the kitchen. "Everyone's still, um, getting things ready. And you still have plenty of people to meet."

And, once inside the kitchen, Wishbone will find a red ceramic dish with a few pieces of steak left inside for him, small enough not to be noticed by the others. Welcome home.

Wishbone makes a beeline for the dish and takes a piece of steak in his mouth. He doesn't eat it right away though. Instead he prances around the apartment with it in his mouth. He didn't see why he had to eat it right away, he liked showing off that he had it in the first place.

Ginia comes back into the kitchen to grab some more napkins, pausing when she sees Giles and looking down as Wishbone prances right by.

Cue squeeing now.

Wishbone instantly stopped and sat down. He looked up pleadingly at Ginia and waited. He still wasn't going to eat that piece of steak yet.

Ginia kneels down to give Wishbone a friendly scratch behind the ears, not minding the piece of steak dangling from his mouth. Honestly, Ginia would have fed him if Giles hadn't.

Actually, she still will. Cook some rice, cook up some chicken, add a little bit of chicken stock...

...add a bit of fish, maybe another scrap of steak...

Showing off what an awesome new place you've found?

...yeah, you're kind of an odd dog, but that's why Giles invited you. It's cool. Carry on.
