so pile your boots up in the corner -- hang your jacket from the door
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. )

Cranberry sauce is a new thing for Jack: just the right mix of tart and sweet and orange peel and mmmmm. He might be hoarding it, just a bit. Make sure you say please if you want it passed.

Finding a place at the table where there was room, the Bronxite set down his plate and unzipped his hoodie, hanging it up on the back of his chair. He let out a light sigh as he sank into his seat, looking about the place and at his company, this curious mix of men and women, strangers and new friends. There was an empty chair... it was where Doc maybe would have sat, had he been here.
Hey Mac baby, better watch what you eat or y'won't be Little Mac no more, hahaha!
Mac could almost hear the man's laughter floating in the air... and then realized it was someone else at the table chuckling easily. He looked back at his plate, half-absently poking at a bean.

Giles was happy. It was a distressingly uncommon feeling. He was determined to enjoy it. And one very, very important thing to be happy about was that he had made it to Thanksgiving without something going horrifically wrong and, most importantly, he wasn't ruining Buffy's fun by believing he was another person and plotting to murder Willow and Xander. Riding high from the relative success of the New Feather party, he was actually look forward to this.
...despite the fact that, in a way, this was something like his idea of hell. Thanksgiving seemed to contain people he didn't know, people he didn't know very well, and people he deeply disliked and had last seen while begging for a pirate name. It was different at the New Feather parties, he wasn't expected to know anyone there and could usually get by just on the questions he was capable of answering. Here? There was a mutual connection in Buffy, and he knew that plenty of these people were hardly new to the village. It was something of a relief that Buffy had extended an invite to Ginia as well, loathe as Giles was to admit it, and he had passed said invitation along at a late hour.
Still. This probably left Giles as something of the odd person out at least at the start of things. And it will probably show, much as he tries to hide it. Yes, he is happy to be here. In his long and painful quest to somehow make things better with Buffy, this is an important step. This doesn't change the fact that he also doesn't have much of an idea about what to do besides grab some food, listen to the small talk, and try to stay out of the way.]

Truthfully, Ginia felt a tiny bit of trepidation. Herself had a child had been a mouth, curious little thing as kids were prone to being. As an adult, most of her conversations with Buffy really weren't that much better, and now that she was dating the ex-watcher and their last conversation had been... well. However, she did want to make things right between them somehow-possibly-down-the-long-road and turning down such a nice invitation would have been rude. Besides, she had a hunch Giles needed some company.
So Ginia arrives, a bit late and into the party, but she shows up, and settles into seeing who else is here, and admiring and enjoying the food. All the cooking? A-plus job.

She stood at the side of the room, immersed in looking at the things that made this house a part of Buffy. The layout of it was different to the apartment she lived in with Angel. It was nice. Just because she felt like a fish out of water at the Thanksgiving meal didn't mean she was going to keep her nose out of Buffy's life.

And every now and then, when anyone seems about to try to strike up conversation as they walk on by him, he nibbles daintily on one of the tiny portions that he had collected and arranged upon a single plate - teaspoon sized samples of each and every food-item on offer at this gathering. He is not proceeding through them at all rapidly.

But that's it, seriously. He will not be roped in by some cheesy emotional holiday about being with the people you care about most.
...Yeah. Not his thing.

Still, there's a lot to complement on, and she even - unasked, most likely - brought along an assortment of cookies for the occasion. Are they edible? With certain guidance she did keep to a sane matter of recipes at least -- at the most, she only got creative with the cookie cutters, involving various geometric shapes and sizes. They're quite harmless and hopefully somewhat tasty otherwise -- some are ordinary chocolate chip, sugar, and of course the majority being lemon. A carefully planned assortment.

He may also look for any drinks that may have been set out for the guests, so he can partake before the actual meal. And perhaps after, since he was not one for desserts.

Slow Mo Hunter right here...
Still, he feels almost unnervingly at home.
After a while, he'll find himself something to drink if someone doesn't bring him one first.

He'll go back inside eventually, even if he still won't do very much socializing. He's pretty sure he'll never not feel out of place at things like this, but he'll stick it out until his brother is ready to leave.

In the meantime? He'll be looking around the room at the lovely decor and possible underlying barrier spell that's entirely invisible to everyone else in the room. What? His work is never done! And besides he told Buffy he would strengthen it when he got better. Still if he bumps into you in his gazing he will apologize profusely.

Before and after the meal, Jilly never really settled in one spot. She fluttered from person to person, paint-specked and smiling and determined to help make this a wonderful holiday...both for Buffy and for all the guests who had decided to join them for the day.
i was hoping you'd tag in generally so i'd have a chance of pouncing. ;D
Saving it for last meant I couldn't get lazy and skip theads. lmao
