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. )

"Me, either." Maybe Caesar didn't know Buffy well, but he knew her well enough. He'd expected that there would be a lot of people here. "I guess it's safe to say it's a success."

"It's definitely that. And there weren't even any kitchen disasters. Really, I think it's bordering on miraculous." Between her and Buffy, it really was.

"Sounds like you guys handled it pretty well, too, then." There's a bit of a smirk in his voice, almost like he's teasing a bit. "I don't think any kitchen disasters would have put anyone off here too much, anyway."

She grinned. "Who knows. Our combined powers could have been impressive."

She crosses her arms against the night chill, though she's still feeling pretty comfortable. It was a nice change after the warmth inside.

"Now that's thinking positive." He's definitely teasing this time. "I don't think we've met. My name's Caesar Silverberg, by the way."

"I try."

She grinned. "I'm Jilly."

"Nice to meet ya. You sure it's okay for you to be out here, though?"

Not that he minded the company at all.

That got a laugh. "I hope so. I might go crazy if I was restricted to the house."

"I think just about anyone would. The fact that so many people can fit in there is almost impressive!"
