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!]

"Finding someone who just listens can be hard," she admits. So many people tend to just say they listen but to find someone who actually cared...well. She scuffs her shoe against the wall a little as she speaks.

It can be, so that's why my dad tries really hard. He says he knows what it's like not having anyone to count on, so he wants to be someone people can count on to be there. And when I'm older, I'm going to be just like him.

"He'll be glad to hear that, I'm sure," she replies, but this is more shaky ground that she's venturing into. She doesn't know much about Ginia's history and not having her journal here to make a quick lookup on things (not that that would be very subtle either makes it a little shakier than well— an earthquake. But if anything, she recalls how Ginia had turned away in mid-writing of that one entry a few weeks ago...

...you know what, sometimes the easiest way to deal with things when you didn't have to deal with them is...not to.

"Either way, I gotta thank you for helping out, Ginia. I dunno how things might've turned out without you!"

The food would've probably been too spicy, for starters.

Ginia smiles, puffing up slightly with pride.

You're welcome! It was nice seeing all the people help out with the food. And all the people that brought food too, it all looks so good! This is a very nice party.

There's a small pause before she looks down, scuffing the toe of one shoe into the ground.

I wish my family could see it.

She pauses slightly at that last bit. "...how about if we take pictures then?"
