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!]

"It's no problem! Eating is always more fun with friends." She glances at Hubert's empty plate. "You're not going to get more?"

[And it is...success for Selphie.]

Whoa.

[This? This might be applause from her end.]

...I'm sorry, do you actually understand animals, Rise-chan? And either way, I have to wonder what you ever did to the squirrels.

[He's tasting the pie, okay. Be patient.]

This is okay.

Grune has no idea what fon machines are, but she does understand one thing: "Oh, I'd love to meet your sister! I'm sure we'll all be very good friends."

In fact, she believes that she and Ginji are already well on their way.

Hmm.... [That name sounds really familiar, although she doesn't....]

Oh! Is she Robert's friend?

Yeah, she is! [She remembered!!] She asked me to be her big brother and Robert to be her father, and when she left, we decided to make the garden for her to see when she comes back.

Huh? Not yours? ...Then who?

It is a conspiracy that reaches to the very highest levels of government. But that part is also a secret, Yotsuba. I hope I haven't erred by trusting you with it.

Yeah, a younger one!

Oh. Okay.

[...Slowly moving her piece up the snake's tail anyway.]

... [You're using those words again. Those ones she doesn't understand in the slightest.] Sounds impoor-tant!

Now I'm a superstar! Gonna take the country by storm!!

[Strike a pose! Holding one can high up in the air whilst the other falls to the ground and rolls off to one side. Yeah, don't open that one. Or either of them.]

['Sometimes I wonder if I'm being mean by doing this.']

It is.

[Except for the...]

Brain freeze!

I'm sure she'll love it. It's such a beautiful garden, and everyone has worked so hard on it.

[She made the Thanksgiving food here under Ginia's tutelage, you know. But go on, go on...]

[Eh— what— pout.]

Have you tried talking to the animals here?

...Generally, when I see someone do that at home, I tend to give them a few yen and walk away quickly.

The short answer being no.

[Your expression seems frozen, Selphie.]

You okay?

I thought so. They're not like those back home, actually...you can talk to animals here.

........

They reply.

"If you aren't enjoying yourself, we can always find Asbel and head back home," he says with a gentle smile that makes it clear that he understands exactly what Hubert is feeling right now. After all, he was once that nervous, lonely boy in the corner at parties himself.

"Would you like something to eat or drink? I could get you something from the table if you'd like."

[Kyon smiles a little bit at the slightly odd way she had to put it.]

I was starting to guess that might have been what you meant... But they don't have much to say, then? No profound Zen master thoughts? No sidequests?

['Collect 10 Acorns for me and I'll give you this Healing Leaf! ...Yeah.']

Friends. Ah, how nice. He shakes his head softly. "I'm full, and I should look for Brother now."

[Ooh. That makes sense.] Is he a lot younger?
