Happy Happy Turkey Day

[handing]

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.)

At least there's a few familiar faces to be found at the party, right? As soon as Billy spots Jason at the party, he heads over with an an uplifted, waving hand.

"Hey, I didn't know you were coming." His lip quirks into a smile. "And in civvies, too. I half-expected a mask, or sunglasses or something."

Knowing the other Robin's penchant for always hiding his eyes...

[curiositykills]

And Jason waves back, feeling just a little relieved and definitely glad to see someone else he knows.

"Me, either. Kinda last minute." But he's totally not party crashing, he was legitimately invited! Really! He smirks at his comment about the mask. "Something tells me I won't hear the end of it for not hiding my face. I mean, I haven't been to a whole lot of Thanksgiving parties, but I kind of got the feeling it wasn't appropriate."

He didn't know a lot of the people here, so what was there to hide? Of course, Jason's always been known for not exactly playing by the rules, either.

[selfhelp]

"Well, he can gripe all he wants, it still won't make any sense." Billy shrugs; he knows exactly who Jason's talking about. "It's not like secret identities make much sense here. Not many people would even recognize or know much about 'Robin' anyway, let alone your real names. Speak of the devil, is he here too?"

In or out of costume- though if he's in costume, Billy has to make sure he has a good chuckle at his expense on top of some glowering. He's still mad at Robin #1 for kidnapping Teddy, after all.

[curiositykills]

"Yeah, he's around." And really, that was the only reason Jason was here. It wasn't that he couldn't do social or that he needed Dick to be around, but Dick knew more people than he did, so it'd be weird if he wasn't here. "I don't think you could miss him. I'm sure he means well, but he's way too paranoid for his own good."

Being Robin was important to Jason, too, but it just seemed like too much! He has wondered on more than one occasion how the heck Dick ends up being the likeable, friendly guy he is in the future.

[selfhelp]

"Yeah, I don't think I've ever met anyone that paranoid before." Billy shrugs. "Maybe it's just a phase. Teenagers, right?"

He smiles a bit knowingly; fellow teenagers are allowed to be ironic about their own stereotypes, okay. He'll definitely have to keep an eye out for Robin now, though. Wouldn't want to accidentally bump into him unprepared. (Or get kidnapped again. Apparently that was a thing he liked to do.)

[curiositykills]

"Yeah. Teenagers." He smirks, amused by Billy's sense of humor. He totally approves. Sure, Billy might seem a little weird, but he doesn't seem all that bad to Jason. "At least not everyone's like that around here. I think it'd drive me nuts!"

[selfhelp]

Weird is all in perspective, anyway. Billy grins at that suggestion, arms crossing over his chest. "Just imagine if they were. This would be a Thanksgiving costume party- capes, spandex, and armor everywhere!"

Not to mention super powers at the dinner table, he's willing to bet.

[curiositykills]

"It sounds more like a mission briefing than a party. And who wants to fight crime on a full stomach?" Not little acrobats, that's for sure. (Even if the food might be totally worth it enough to take the risk.) "But all the heroes I've ever met all knew each other by name, so all I can think is that they just like showin' off."

And then again, if you look good in spandex, you might as well wear the heck out of it, right?

[selfhelp]

"I guess it depends on how attached you are to your costume. Though it would come in handy if some terrible villain decided to crash the party. We wouldn't have to find a convenient phone booth or something."

Not that phone booths are all that prevalent anymore, since everyone and their dog has a cell phone. Still, the reference is a classic.
