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. )

One eyebrow goes up just slightly at the I think, but with Archie's mallynap affect still in full swing, lost memories weren't as confusing as they could have been. She just nods in return. "I'm Jilly. Her..." She laughs suddenly, realizing what word actually fits. She hadn't actually used that since college. "...roommate. Or, well, housemate, I suppose."

"Jilly," Derek nods to himself. "Yeah, Buffy did mention you. Liking it so far?"

"Living here?" She smiled. "It's been a good few months. It was kind of her to let me move in."

Derek raises an eyebrow.

"Where were you before that?"

She motioned a hand in a vague direction. "I was in one of the community housing buildings, before. I actually still keep my studio in my old place, but the company is much better, here."
