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!]

[Blink. Wait what.] But... Won't it hurt to be struck by lightning? It's all bright and noisy. You don't hafta go hurt yourself like that, just don't break the promise!

[Tilting her head to one side now.] You might not find it? Why not?

Well, hopefully I will never have to suffer if I don't break the promise. Like you said.

'This girl is something else. How old is she? Six?'

There may not be a single ultimate strawberry. They may just keep getting more and more strawberry until the end.

Ohhhhh, okay. Yotsuba gets it now!

[You were close there, inner monologue. She's five, but hey points for trying.]

So after really strawberry... Would be super strawberry! And very strawberry!! But 'til what 'end'? Will the strawberries stop being strawberries?

That's a very real possibility, Yotsuba.

[CAN'T HAVE THAT. NO WAY.]

It is?! Then we need to stop the strawberries from not being strawberries, otherwise there'll be no more strawberries left, and that's bad! Very bad!!

--It's a very long evolutionary process... that no one can be sure about, of course.

What's evo-loo-shun-ary? [Hello. That's a nice word you have there. Please explain.]

'To be honest, I'm not sure I paid enough attention in biology to give the right answer.'

Uh... It's when one thing turns into something else over time.

Ohhhhh! Like when you eat yummy food and after awhile it turns into poop!

That... would probably not be a process you'd describe as evolutionary. But I guess the idea is right.

It wouldn't? But you said it's when one thing turns into another... What else does that? [...] Oh! Ohhh! What about a caterpillar into a flutterby?

Yes, that's more like it.

Though the word is butterfly.

Oh, okay, flutterb- ...Butter-fly. Butterfly! Got it! That;s what Yotsuba meant to say!

Good work, Yotsuba. Or should I say, wood gerk.

Why would you say that? [Sadly, she doesn't see what Kyon did there.]

That's a secret.

Oh! I'm good with secrets, tell me, tell me! [No she isn't.]

I can't tell you a secret that's not my own, Yotsuba.

Huh? Not yours? ...Then who?

It is a conspiracy that reaches to the very highest levels of government. But that part is also a secret, Yotsuba. I hope I haven't erred by trusting you with it.

... [You're using those words again. Those ones she doesn't understand in the slightest.] Sounds impoor-tant!

['Sometimes I wonder if I'm being mean by doing this.']

It is.

If the govverment is hiding something then it must be even more impoortant. Super impoortant, maybe even more impoortant than that!

[...] Will Yotsuba get dirted if this is ever told to anyone?

['Dirted? ...Ah.']

...No. No, Yotsuba. I don't think so, anyway.

['Facepalm.']

Ohhh, good! I can't go bike riding if I'm dirted.

[What are you doing Kyon?

...

Slowly moving her hands...

Over her own face...

Did I facepalm good?]
