Who: Everyone!
What: Thanksgiving + New Feather party.
When: Evening of the 20th.
Where: School cafeteria, nicely done up.
Summary: There's food. And there's also board games, are you game for some Snakes and Ladders?
Rating: Let's put this all over the board. Strange stuff can happen, man.
[Thanksgiving may not be a familiar holiday to most in Luceti, but everyone understands potluck, at least! Hopefully. Preferably.

It's all done buffet-style as usual. Thanksgiving stuff greets you first when you grab a plate and get in line at the buffet lines (food and drink provided by everyone, Thanksgiving stuff courtesy of the Welcome Centre and Ginia). Though of course, don't think that you have to stand in a line while eating! There's tables and chairs for sitting and talking and— eating, obviously. Reach out and grab a drink! If you get one that's been prepared by the Welcome Centre, it's non-alcoholic. Can't really say the same for anything else brought by others, so you may want to be careful. Y'know, just in case.

'course, there's also board games if you're interested in 'em. Just check out that corner over there!]

We should definitely have the party soon!

[Just don't expect Grune to organize things or anything like that.]

[Grune hears that, Helios.]

Are you sure?

He nods. "The manor in Lhant. It's where Brother and I live." Their home, in other words. Right now, anyway, and that tiny consolation prompts a small smile from him.

"I've never been to a manor before -- what's it like?"

That's nice to hear. I've come to find that, no matter what sort of world you come from, everyone adapts eventually. Still, you seem to be managing.

[...ahahaha. Yeah, he can see how hard you're trying, Pilouette. But, no worries. Giles has been there and done that.]

I suppose you've been generally brought up to sped, then?

Omigosh, totally! It was so awesome of you to suggest it~!

_{[Pils can try, but...without guidance it will be a beautiful tidal wave of fail!planning.]}

Oh, yes, that's right. [She'd forgotten about that.] Presents are nice, too.

Yeah! I think I kinda get what's what. Most people I've met have been really nice to me, so far! It's making it a lot easier.

After a slight pause, Ginji swallowed.

"Actually, it's a lot sweeter than I expected. I think one of the ingredients is potato, but I'm not sure about the rest. You should definitely try it if you get the chance."

One of the advantages of this place, I've come to find. We've all been the guests at these parties at one point or another, we all remember how it feels, and so most of us are at least more inclined to stop and lend a hand where possible.

The cheesecake? Ginji tried to recall if he'd seen any among the other desserts. He wasn't sure, but there didn't seem to be any on his plate.

Ginji lowered his voice, his expression turning a bit more serious. "Why? Is there something wrong with it?"

I guess that's good to know.

But the whole idea that I'm...well, kinda stuck here is still sort of hard to deal with. I guess all I can do is deal with it, huh?

[Not unsympathetically:] I'm afraid so. Still. You might not be here long. Some villagers aren't. And you might be sent home at any time. We all could be.

From there, it's just a matter of waiting. But I've never had issue staying occupied around here.

And Grune happily goes where she's tugged. That's more like it.

As they walk, she keeps an eye out for Hubert's brother, but since she's already forgotten what he looks like, it's not going to accomplish much.

Really? I've heard that a lot of people have been here a long time, but...I guess it makes sense that it works the other way around, too.

_{[She brightens up a little, her smile turning genuine.]}

...Yeah. I guess I just need to find stuff to do in the meantime!

There's a school, if you want. Certainly a unique educational opportunity, given the people from other worlds. There are a few organizations that you might join that will certainly keep you occupied. There's magic, which can be quite rewarding to those with the patience to spend on it. And that's just besides whatever ideas you might have.

"Hubert?"

Hubert has always been more high-strung and cautious than his brother, Richard knows that much. Still, if the boy is getting too anxious over the party (and Richard sympathizes far more than Hubert knows), he's not against gathering up Asbel and heading back home. In fact, he'd actually rather prefer doing that, because he's not enjoying the whole party all that much himself.

[Pao-lin smiles and nods.] You don't need to throw it so hard, though. [She shakes the die in her hand a little bit before dropping it onto the table. A four! She moves her piece along.]

Yeah, because you put it there! [He doesn't like wearing the ice cream.]

I'll probably look into the school, then. I mean, that's pretty much all I did back ho-

_{[Wait, what was that last thing?]}

...Magic?

You know, you're at a party. [Smile.] You should try to enjoy it more.

I really am enjoying it... I'm just a bit tired, that's all.

[He smiles wryly at this reaction.]

Magic, yes. I take it that it isn't terribly common in your world?

No way! I mean, back home I don't think it even exists! Except for like, the card trick kinda junk, but...I don't think that's even really magic.

No, it isn't, although they're a useful enough skill that they probably shouldn't be discarded out of hand.

You really haven't heard anything about the Filial spirits?

So hard that it changes everything, eh.

It's practically another martial art to her. I swear she must train in it or something.
