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. )

Helios could get behind the thoughts of not ever expecting to be here. But, well, Buffy said he could stay and hes been picking at food to eat all the while.

"Ah yes, well, we're good acquaintances. I, um, kn-know Giles a bit better to be honest." And really he should have gotten an invitation from Giles to even be here. Helios was on a mission though and thanking someone on thanksgiving never felt more appropriate.

"Really?" Cordelia found herself more interested in this than she originally thought she'd be. First, Giles was in a relationship, and second, he had friends. Or sort of friends. "He was the librarian at my high school. He knew how to stack books." She's having a joke, but it beat saying she was second best at getting on Giles' nerves. Xander took the cake with that one, which she was happy to give him, anyway.

"Yes actually. I met Giles awhile back we...have a few things in common." Helios laughs at that.

"He told me about that. Ah the school, and-and other things." Helios smiles in remembrance as he thinks back to all the times and everything they've been through together.
