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!]

[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?

Um...N-no.

_{[She glances off to the side for just a moment, a little embarrassed. This is starting to sound like she should have known about it by now.]}

[...after a second, Giles takes pity.]

Well, everyone seems to regard them differently. I'm not surprised there still isn't much in the way of coherent information about them.

Oh. So, like, no one really knows much about them?

_{[This...makes her feel a little better somehow.]}

Not really. Some won't talk to certain sorts of people, some can only be heard in certain places, all but Nala and Kipinn take a couple of weeks even to find.

I'm sorry to say that I haven't made very much progress, while I've been here.

P-People can hear them? Is magic like, super important to know here or...?

_{[She's doing her best to try and remember all this stuff in case it is. Oh geez, she almost feels like she's hearing a first day of class lecture.]}

In a way. It's...very hard to explain, second hand, and I suppose that's part of the problem.

But, no, it isn't. Well...no, I'd advise learning what Nala has to teach to anyone, if only because a bit of healing ability never goes amiss. You'll be glad to know that she's the easiest to learn from, then.

Yeah. I mean, that's like asking someone "Did you hear that", isn't it? Because if they didn't, then they have no idea what you're talking about anyway.

Healing? What, like, magic first aid or something? I mean, if it's not too hard, I could probably learn it...

Like first aid, yes, just...generally much quicker. I'd offer to demonstrate, but that might put you off your food.

I'm sure you could. If I can help at all with that, I'd be happy to. It's really just a matter of finding the right spot and, um, listening.

_{[Huh? Oh, right, she has food. She'd actually kind of forgotten about it, Pilouette's really starting to get interested in this magic stuff.]}

Y-You'd really help me!? Um! I'll try like, totally hard to listen, I promise!

I really would. You'd hardly be the first, after all.

...of course, I'm not sure I actually remembered to ask your name.

Aw, gee, I'm sorry! I totally should have introduced myself or something! My name's Pilouette! It's like, nice to meet you, Mister...um...

Oh, gosh, I like, didn't ask for your name either, huh? Golly, I'm sorry!
