[herotypical]

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. )

"Ah. N-Not recently, no." Might have to do with the ability to feel love and any sort of romantic attachment to be completely gone but hey, details. Helios shifts some more.

"No. I-I mean I haven't really gave it much thought."

"I'm with you, mate. Overthinking it just overcomplicates it. And who wants things to fester within that horrid realm, Overcomplication? The best option, clearly, is to not think on it at all."

[folklorist]

"T-true. Overthinking tends to, um, cause lots of doubts when all is said and done. But I suppose some people can't h-help themselves regardless. But then a-again when it comes to something like, like relationships thinking on them m-might not be so bad." Says the man who hasn't been in one for around four years now.

Jack grunted a kind of neutral almost-assent before taking a sip from his glass. "No use hashing over all that here, I suppose. Help yourself to some Evil Turkey, Helios! Enjoy!"

"Evil turkey." He looks down at the plate holding said turkey. There is a small smirk on his face regardless.

"I never realized we had turkeys here actually. But it's a good thing otherwise we wouldn't have had a chance for all this. I hope it wasn't too much trouble to catch. I hear they can be quite mean, wild turkey, but ah thank you." He will be sure to do so. All that hard work shouldn't go to waste after all and even if he has his reserves about eating at all he might pick at things here and there throughout the night.

"Nah, no trouble at all!" So much trouble. "And you're welcome, of course. Cheers and all!"
