Happy Happy Turkey Day

Who: Marvel people plus friends. I'm not even attempting to make this list out.
What: Marvelsgiving!
When: November 22, 2012
Where: House 49
Summary: It's Thanksgiving. There's a meal and socializing. Also fun.
Rating: PG, PG-13 max? A kid got invited to this.
Considering how last minute all of this had been, Pepper was actually pretty satisfied with how things were turning out. Rogue had shown up early with helpers in tow, immediately setting to work in the kitchen. The house had been filled with delicious aromas shortly thereafter, and Pepper busied herself with the other details until guests started to arrive--at which point part of her job became keeping people out of the kitchen, per Rogue's orders.

The set up was straightforward: the dining room table was used to hold the assorted dishes, where people could fix themselves plates. A similar set up with drinks (although please, don't give alcohol to the children). Chairs set out for people to sit, since there were too many to even attempt a traditional sit down dinner. But that was fine by Pepper, who made her way through the group, making sure everyone was happy, or at least not destroying part of her house.

Better safe than sorry, with this crowd.



(ooc: post! mingle! include whatever dish your character brought for the potluck and wait for them to be judged. and as always, have fun.)

"I -- guess I'll find out." Her grin is crooked and her laugh is quiet, but it's all completely sincere. You might as well stamp her heart with the words "property of Billy Kaplan."

She takes it seriously largely because she just wants to. Because she's spent a long time without family and with zero expectations of ever finding anything resembling family ever again -- and being offered the chance by a kid as sweet as Billy is... it's too tempting to pass up.

Really, she's glad he's not laughing at her in turn. Since he could assume she's being kind of crazy and tell her it's not such a big deal and not to take it so seriously. But he's rolling with it, which means he's okay with it... right?

Either way. It makes her feel just a little like she has a place to belong again. A feeling she thought she'd never get back.

"I'm sure Tommy could tell you all kinds of stories about me as a little brother, but none of them would be very good."

He doesn't understand how much it means to her - he lacks that kind of experience, truth be told, and he really does take his family for granted sometimes, but that's part of why he's so free with these invitations. Family is important, so everyone should have it- even if it means sharing his.

To him, it really is that simple.
