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!]

Even pint-sized, Ginia is still just as helpful as her usual adult self. There's been a day of cooking and helping Rise with all the Thanksgiving familiars - Turkey! Ham! Cranberry sauce! Mashed potatoes and gravy! Cornbread! - and then extra cookies and other recipes here and there. There's a smorgasbord of delicious food-y goodness awaiting everyone and Ginia's glad to have been able to help out.

Still, she's a little sad. Her family isn't here and even if she's made lots of new friends and met all sorts of people, she misses them, and she misses home. But as her mother always said, a bright smile can chase away the clouds, so Ginia will be smiling and trying to keep her spirits up as she hovers around the food table, making sure everyone is getting plenty of food and enjoying themselves. And as she hovers, remaining close by will be her loyal dog, Odin (http://i.imgur.com/Yyjh8.jpg). Maybe a Thanksgiving party isn't the best place for a dog, but he stays by her, watching anyone who gets too close with his one eye. And maybe, just maybe, begging for the occasional scrap of food.

[She'd begged. She'd pleaded. She'd pouted and in the end, she'd kinda won. Except she wasn't allowed to help with anything and she was being watched like a hawk otherwise. Selphie's seated at a table with her ankle propped up on another chair close by while she waits for some tasty stuff to be brought back to her.

Otherwise, Selphie's sitting there quiet as a mouse with her nose stuck in a book about pirates. Come say hello! And... possibly take her over to those board games in the corner?]

Thanksgiving was a holiday that Arsene Lupin III, gentleman thief and internationally wanted criminal, did not celebrate very often. He was as likely to be in Sao Paulo as Paris during the winter holidays and, not hailing from the United States himself, didn't feel a need to celebrate such a holiday.

Even if he did want to celebrate, his usual companions saw no need to celebrate it either. If anything, Christmas was a more likely holiday to get notice, not that it put a damper on his 'work schedule'.

But this was Luceti, a place not constrained by the same boundaries as a place like New York. Lupin wouldn't admit this to anyone, but he was starting to get restless. There was no hustle of the city within the boundaries. It was...quiet. The word 'party' barely needed to register to have Lupin interested.

People contact was a good thing.

Such circumstances were what drove Lupin to the school house in a clean suit and shoes and had him filling his plate with turkey and stuffing. Free food was still free, after all. Lupin was starving for more than just food, though.

He didn't bother to sit down. He leaned against the wall instead, watching the people comfortably. He glanced over at the nearest person and, between bites of potatoes and gravy, spoke up: "Some spread, huh?"

[She said she would do it. And here she is, carry five big tubs of ice cream with her to the party. Ice cream is good no matter the weather after all, who cares if it's cold outside? There's always time to enjoy ice cream!

Once she's figured out her way to the school, courtesy of Otonashi and lots and lots of directions, Yotsuba will come in, dump her ice cream pile as soon as she's in the door and run off... Only to return a moment later to carry it off with her again. Yeah, probably shouldn't leave it lying around like that.

After the ice cream has been dealt with/left somewhere/handed over to someone nice enough to take it off her hands, Yotsuba will be trying all sorts of food and drinks. Everything is tasty! Have you tried this yet?! She might well be trying to offer food to you which she has deemed to be the tastiest she has ever eaten.

Finally, board games! Look at these games, so much fun to be had in one little box! ...What's a board game? Kneeling down and pulling out a few games and looking at them. Yeah, she has no idea how to play any of these. Snakes and ladders? ...Sounds dangerous.]

free to a good home

As the old saying goes, where there's a buffet, there's a hungry Saiyan waiting to carry it all away. This party was no exception.

Wandering in without any offerings of food or, better yet, any idea of what was going on, Vegeta headed straight for the buffet table. He'd been flying all day trying to get his bearings and only the smell of food and the feel of multiple (weak) ki's converging in on this one location could convince him to come down. Luckily for him, it was an open party. He grabbed a plate and quietly got in line, putting his strategic mind to good use by piling his plate as efficiently as possible.

When he was done and sure that, yes, people would realize if the whole turkey went missing, he went to stand by himself in a corner feeling glad that whatever fresh hell this place might be, at least it had food.

There's no Thanksgiving on Melfes, but, after having it explained to her, Grune is definitely on board. A holiday all about getting together with your friends and family and telling them how grateful you are for them? Definitely something relevant to her interests.

And so she's brought a big casserole dish of apple crumble (slightly more cooked on one side than the other, whoops) and is happy to portion it out...until she forgets what she's doing, anyway.

New friends and old--and friends she hadn't even met yet--come talk to her! She'll very much welcome the company.

[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.]

Giles had offered himself up at the last minute to help with whatever preparations still needed preparing. Time passed so strangely when you were small. He still couldn't look back at the last few days and think that he'd been changed nearly a week, and returning to his proper size and age had left him staggered for a while.

But, keeping busy and offering assistance where he could had worked for him before, been the best way to keep back awkward questions and strange thoughts, helped him feel in control where as a child he never had been. And so, come the start of the festivities, he'll be doing what he can to organize the buffet line, making sure everyone gets fed. Only after that will he get some food for himself, grab a table, and...well, bask is probably the best word.

He's made it. He's himself. It's the best feeling in the world, even if the sight of Ginia wandering around with her loyal companion is enough of a reminder that life hasn't quite returned to normal.

Giles, for once, looks honestly happy. Feel free to approach, or ask questions from the buffet line, or what have you. You'll probably meet him at the table going back for seconds a couple of times.

HEY. HEY GUYS. HEY. *SPARKLES*

[Per his usual over exuberance, Armstrong Enters the school cafeteria giving off SPARKLES and exposing his magnificent Physique. A usual entrance for the man then.]

Greetings Citizens of Luceti!

[Flex, Pose, Sparkle. Alex is most overjoyed to meet new people! And Traumatize many more.

You may notice a few sparkles falling into the food. Don’t worry, they fade away on their own, and won’t hurt you. Probably.]

[There is food here. And therefore, so is Link.]

[Eyes lighting up at the sight of
that buffet, he promptly abandons his companions and makes a beeline for it, dropping off the box full of cookies (only slightly charred and a little overly sugary!), fully intent on trying a little bit of everything.]

Wow, this looks so good!

[Also? Distracting, and distractions are good right now.]

[If there's anything that makes Pilouette nervous about stuff like this, it's meeting so many new people all at once. While she's pretty outgoing, she's still adjusting to Luceti and such huge changes tend to throw her off. However, if she's going to be stuck in this place, it would do well for her to meet people, right?

Being careful not to get too much food, (or too little and not to eat too fast, oh but don't eat too slow either and stand up straight but try to relax and also this and that or...!) and having donned a facial security blanket pair of false glasses, she's doing her best to socialize and make a good first...well, second impression. The one she made on the day she arrived hadn't been all that great and this could be a good chance to make some friends. ]

[Rin shows up a little late and despite being a guest, a party going... well he clearly missed some sort of memo because he brought a dish a pass. Actually a very big one, because he walks in carrying a large hot pot in both arms and a big of ingredients under his arm. He figures what better to bring to a party than Sukiyaki!

...Mind you he'd need to make it and manage the pot but when he walks in. Huh. Wow there was more people than he was expecting and he doesn't know where to set up shop. when eh figures it out though, he'll be manning it]

Ginji smiled, leaning back in his chair to watch as people chatted with one another and bustled around the cafeteria. The energy in the room wasn't so unlike his hometown and it offered a refreshing change from what had become the daily norm - plus it was way more interesting than spending the evening cooped up in his room or wandering around the square.

And then there was the food. Some of it was perfectly familiar, but many of the spices and even some of the dishes he'd never tasted before.

After a while Ginji returned his attention back to his plate, trying to decide what to eat next.

"I wonder what this one is."

There sure are a lot of older people attending the party, which is a given considering Hubert is a mere 10-year-old. Even so, it makes being alone that much more unsettling. He'd come with his brother and others, but Asbel has the tendency to wander, and in a bustling setting like this it's easy to lose sight of anyone. Just his luck.

So Hubert wanders around the buffet line, eyes shifting right to left and left to right in search of familiar faces. Maybe going to the party was a bad idea, after all. He could be "home" right now, reading an interesting book on the cozy couch with few disturbances . . .

"Ahh, why did it turn out this way?" he mumbles anxiously to himself.

Food is a foolproof way to get Pao-lin to go almost anywhere. She can't cook yet, but seeing the wonderful things that everyone else has made for this party is really inspiring her to learn how. Not just so she can enjoy the things she likes, but also so she can make others happy with the things she makes.

For now, though, she's just going to savor the culinary treasures of the buffet table. But she's also eyeing the corner full of board games too...

[Promising good food and a party was definitely a surefire way to get Asbel to want to go somewhere. It was just the sort of distraction he needed from... what recently happened.

He had come with his little brother to the party, but... Well, in all the excitement and the large group of people, he kind of ditched him to wander around the party and check things out. Especially that food. It really does smell good...

[Despite being here for so long, Caesar still doesn't know what Thanksgiving is, but he's made such a habit of coming to these things that it doesn't really matter anyway. As usual, he probably won't stay very long, especially if the food is potentially dangerous, but he'll be around to see how things are going and chat a bit before he leaves.

...but before he can leave, he needs to determine which food is and isn't okay to eat. Did Rise ever say what she was going to make? Hm.]

You just can't keep Kazooie away from a party - well, that she knows about, anyway - and the chance to meet new people is just too exciting. So here she is, flitting about, chowing down on the food whenever she can grab some at the buffet line, and in general being her loud, gregarious self. She's also actually contributed something - with pumpkin and flax seed pastries, albeit not ones she actually made. But hey, she's actually being altruistic! That is, until she sneaks some of them from the serving tray...

Feel free to bother the talkative cartoon bird just about anywhere. After all, such an obvious party person will be a barrel of laughs to talk to - at least for everybody else!

[ Oh gosh parties...bitty!Helios is not so well equipped for parties. So he will be in the random corners of the school cafeteria looking lost and out of place as all hell. People here were nice, yes, but he just...does not do well in crowds of this size. Maybe he shouldn't have came after all... ]
