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!]

[Kyon enters without much fanfare, or indeed, any fanfare. He looks around at all the people he doesn't know and sighs to himself. What could really be going on here? The last time he was in an alternate universe, it barely lasted three days. Maybe that RPG--]

'But let's not get carried away with nostalgia for times past too much.'

[Being antisocial, he will probably be just chilling against the wall not talking to anyone and eating, looking slightly thoughtful but mostly blank.]

[redjacketthief.livejournal.com]

Ah! Another person just chilling in the back! The man in red, now done with his food, waltzes on over as casually as his restlessness would allow. If the kid who was his target saw the grin he was trying to suppress, the man's intent was obvious.

Lupin III wasn't a man to deal with quiet affairs very well. He needed someone to talk to.

"Hey," he said, his voice too loud and his smile too eager, "nice party, huh? What's keeping you over here? The food's pretty good.!"

[menial]

Kyon, on the other hand, was definitely in favor of quiet affairs. Whenever possible, which was not always, to say the least. He looked up at the other person, a little bit blankly.

"I am eating it, yeah," he said in response. It might not have been a particularly adequate response, but he didn't know what else to say.

[redjacketthief.livejournal.com]

It indeed wasn't the right thing to say. Lupin frowned at the person he was trying to talk to.

"I see that...but is it good?"

His first question hadn't been answered yet either. It just gave Lupin more reason to stick around--he liked a good challenge.

[menial]

"Well, I would probably try not to eat it if it wasn't," Kyon replied. The obfuscation was half his personality and half avoidance, in general.

[redjacketthief.livejournal.com]

"Oh? So you do like it?" He had dealt with far less forthcoming individuals before. Most notably, he knew how to talk to a fellow Luceti resident who was short on words and long on sword skill.

[menial]

"I suppose the short answer would be yes," Kyon replied with a shrug.

[redjacketthief.livejournal.com]

"If the short answer is 'yes', then why didn't you just say it?" For a guy who wasn't into talking, he certainly was into talking...

[menial]

After a fashion, at any rate. That reply sounds a little like me, to Koizumi, he thought. Am I really gone that far?

"It didn't really seem like that important of a question," he said, instead.

[This person looks all lonely. It's a party, they should have fun! Yotsuba knows just what to do.

Carrying a few tubs of ice cream, which she brought with her, Yotsuba will run towards Kyon and into his leg. That's probably going to feel pretty cold. Come on lonely person, have some ice cream and stop being so lonely!]

[menial]

'Now, I wonder what the connection between Turkey and the --

Aaaagh!'

[Kyon yelps as the cold ice cream smacks into him.]

'First snowballs, now what appears to be a moving pile of ice cream tubs. Is my life here destined to be one long parade of being hit by cold things?'

What's going on here?

[rollypolyclover.livejournal.com]

[A head pops out from behind the ice cream pile. Hello there!]

Ice cream! Want some? I have lots of flavours here!

[Setting them dow and patting the top tub as if she's proud of this collection she has amassed.]

Do you want strawberry? Chocolate?

[menial]

'I've always preferred little-sister types to be docile and well-behaved, rather than chirpy...

That said, I guess I shouldn't be churlish to a little girl trying to be nice. That's just wrong.'

Strawberry, perhaps? Many thanks.

[rollypolyclover.livejournal.com]

[Rearranging the tubs until she's found the strawberry ice cream. Rather than finding a cone, a bowl or something else, Yotsuba just holds up the entire tub to Kyon.]

Here you are, it's strawberry. Really strawberry! [That's better than sort of strawberry.]

[menial]

Ah, really strawberry. Is there an ultimate strawberry, or have I got to earn that?

[He takes it from her... and kind of holds it, wondering what to do with it next.]

[rollypolyclover.livejournal.com]

The ultimate strawberry... [Her eyes glaze over for a moment. Does that exist? Wow. Wooow.]

If you ever earn the ultimate strawberry, you've gotta make sure you share it with me, okay? It's probably really big, and really really strawberry!

[menial]

'...Cute kid.'

In fact, I'd wager there's nothing more strawberry than it in the world. I guess I'll think about sharing it with you. Maybe.

[analyzing]

[People people people, faces faces faces...oh, there's a familiar one!

Rise gravitates to familiar faces like...rocks falling so she'll just head over to where he is. What, what? She's here to make sure that wallpaper warmers come out and play.]

You made it!

[menial]

Hey, Kuji--uh, Rise-san.

['Seeing her in person, as well as Miura-san, I think I'm beginning to understand what's needed to be an idol better. They're both good looking, but more than that, they just have a kind of friendly magnetism.']

Thank you for inviting me. It's good food.

Somehow, I forgot to track this thread after turning off notifs...

[analyzing]

[Tsk tsk tsk.]

You're welcome but it's Rise-chan. Rise-chan, remember?

It happens! Or was because it was the 666th comment...

[menial]

['Oh, I remember.']

Ah, I forgot.

Entirely possible. ...I also forgot again, so I'm CLICKING THIS ROUND.

[analyzing]

As long as you remember next time. [Hee.] Food aside, though, are you enjoying yourself?

[As much as you can as you...hang out by the wallpaper?!]

Clicking?! This one's strong, so watch yourself!

[menial]

I'll do my best. ['Maybe.']

Yeah. [He looks briefly around him at his antisocial bubble, a little shifty-eyed.]

I may not be talking to the large parrot or whatever, but I'm watching people talk to it, and that's almost as good. Maybe better. Like a live-action anime.

/clicks with the force of a thousand burning suns!

[analyzing]

[Parrot....]

Oh, you mean Kazooie.

ALL RIGHT, Rise-chan! One tracking down!

[menial]

Possibly.

We just don't get that kind of thing at home.

['Yeah, cats only.']
