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!]

When even the squirrels yell at you, stuff becomes a whole lot noisier. But you can always tune them out.

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

[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.

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

........

They reply.

[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.']

If they do, I haven't heard of it.

I suppose I shouldn't waste my time with that, then.

['Not that I, in general, have compunctions about wasting time.']

Anyway, uh, Rise-chan, how about you? Is the party going well?

Well, we're a little thin on the whole Thanksgiving food thing but otherwise we've probably got enough for everyone here. I think we're doing pretty well in the dessert section, not so much in the entertainment section...

[Heh.]

That aside, I think I'm doing pretty well.

Entertainment, huh? I'm afraid I probably don't have as much to offer as you, there. Maybe I could juggle two balls, at the most.

Uh, but yes, glad to hear it.

Ooh, the way you say it, you make it sound like I should be on a stage singing.

Only if you wanted to, of course, though if you did, I'm sure it would be captivating. And if you needed a two-ball juggler, I suppose I could be convinced to join you.

['Seriously, I can tell with her.']

Hmm.......

I might be keen on taking up that offer.

Heh -- well, you have my number, Rise-chan. Put your people in touch with my people and all that.

[He smiles slightly.]

So, what did you end up making for this?

Between you and me— [She lowers her voice to whisper volume.] —pretty much most of the Thanksgiving stuff.

Oh, really?

['Wow. She really must be a good cook, then. The whole package, as they say!']

Honestly, it's all quite good.

[See, this is what happens when she has a person to watch over her cooking. It can actually come out okay...!]

Ooh, you think so? I didn't try any myself since I was busy with everything but that's a relief.

It's my first time making Thanksgiving stuff, actually.

[One day he will be horribly disillusioned...

'...What a strange thought. Why would I be disillusioned?']

Then I guess you have to be called a prodigy.

Nah. [She laughs breezily.] I had a pretty good teacher, that's all. Maybe I'll introduce you some day.

Really?

Could be both educational and entertaining, as they say.
