Who: anyone invited to house seven's thanksgivingstravaganza -- as well as anyone walking by who might be curious about all the brouhaha.
What: giving thanks!
When: forward dated to november 24th due to predicted holiday hiatuses!
Where: house seven!
Summary: friends, food, fondness. family. festivities.
Rating: g for goin' up.

House Seven was decked out in soft oranges and browns. Gentle reds and yellows. The table was shoved up against a wall and dish upon dish of delicious Thanksgiving dinner-bits adorned it. Plates to one side, a pile of cutlery. Feel free to line up and pile your arms high with roasted turkey, mashed potatoes, sweet potato casserole, carrots and green beans, cranberry sauce, sinful gravy. Stuffing. Steamed broccoli. The amount of food would almost be laughable had the guest list not been so long. Chatter abounded.

It was, by all accounts, a fairly casual gathering. No ceremony (Buffy, by this point, was all ceremony'd out after some fiercely dedicated meal-prepping) to stand on and no customs to keep. Just food and friendship. The only thing customary about Buffy Summers would be her delighted, enchanted grin throughout the evening. Very little pleased her more than a social event that was going well.

Mix! Mingle! Make merry!

(ooc; threadjack into oblivion and don't forget to add your character to the entry tags! have fun! note that this is forward-dated. i'll be tagging around myself later this evening. )

Hey. It's what I do best. Keeping you out of trouble. [ this is said with the utmost irony. ] Besides -- I ran the crash course with Jilly. At least you weren't as young as she was.

[Said with the utmost irony but not without some truth.]

I was horrible at drawing even at three times her age.

...not bad with a stake, though.

Nope. You were a pretty quick study, there. Your instructor was very proud.

[consultmybooks]

I'm flattered that you think so. I wasn't entirely untrained, of course, but you were certainly a helpful instructor.

[herotypical]

...And I was surprised you had such a sweet tooth when you were younger.

[consultmybooks]

I didn't, before you came along. I n-never had the...well, you can take sole and entire credit for it, if you want.

Gladly. Happily and willingly and gladly. I'll take it.

[consultmybooks]

Even if you did show a maddening tendency to eat all of my doughnuts back in Sunnydale. To be fair, I suppose this did make up for it.

[herotypical]

And I enjoyed every one of them. Just as I'm sure you had a blast finishing off my gummy bears.

[consultmybooks]

Those? Those were new. I'd never had those before.

...they're absolutely horrible, but I got another bag.

...Try them on salt and vinegar chips. It'll change your life.

[consultmybooks]

Salt and...

[He thinks on this, imagines it, and...well, what can you do but laugh? So he does.]

I'll keep that in mind.

Don't doubt it. Seriously. It's a delicacy somewhere. It has to be.

Given the general nature of Luceti I'm sure we could turn up a world where that is the case.

Personally? I'd say our world. I'm sure plenty'd disagree.
