"but thanksgiving is more than eating, chuck;"

[gleamed]

Who: Residents of CH7 and anyone else who wants to come!
What: Thanksgiving!
When: Thursday, November 22!
Where: Dining area on the first floor of CH7!
Summary: Rapunzel has discovered a hodgepodge of what Thanksgiving is about, and so she has decided to throw a big dinner for anyone who wants to come!
Rating: T for Turkey
If they had Thanksgiving back in her world, Rapunzel had absolutely no knowledge about it, and even after spending over half a year in Luceti, she was still a little hazy on the details of various holidays. However, she loved an occasion to celebrate, and what she'd learned about Thanksgiving so far was certainly something worth celebrating: a day to share good food with friends new and old, and express your thanks for the wonderful things in your life? Sounds perfectly fantastic to her. So she decided to make the most of it.

She starts cooking in the kitchen on the first floor of CH7 nearly at the break of dawn, filling the building with enticing aromas throughout the day. If that's not enough to draw people out, she takes a moment between dishes to make a village-wide invite to the dinner on the journal. She even makes a sign to set in the window of the bakery, apologizing for the unscheduled closing and directing any interested parties to the nearby CH7 for promised good times and delicious food.

Of course, she would love to have anyone bring a dish if they so desire - there's only so much cooking one can do, even if they are a Disney princess! She'd love some help in the kitchen, too.

At the dinner itself, attendants can expect to find many of the traditional Thanksgiving dishes - turkey, mashed potatoes, vegetables, casseroles, stuffing, rolls, yams, et cetera. Of course, there are a few completely out-of-place dishes as well: popcorn, jelly beans, toast, pretzels. Where on earth could she have gotten the idea for food like that? It is a mystery. For dessert, there will be an impressive line up of pies of various flavors, pumpkin roll, pumpkin bread, cupcakes decorated as turkeys, cookies, and so forth.

So, come on in, meet some friends new and old, and most of all, be thankful!



[ooc: This log is open to anyone who wants to go to a Thanksgiving dinner but may not have a place to go! As mentioned, Rapunzel made an announcement on the journal earlier in the day inviting anyone who wants to to come, as well as set a sign up in the bakery directing people to CH7. This is basically a free-for-all mass log, so have fun, bring a dish, carve some turkey, do whatever!]

Whatever. Cake and candy and ice cream's alllll I need! [She swipes a cookie from Ralph's basket with a grin.]

[gonnawreckit]

[He takes a moment to glare at her, because he was eying that cookie for himself.]

Um, only because you're programmed to be able to eat so much of it without all you teeth falling out! Try something with that gravy stuff, it's great.

[sugarglitch]

Gravy? That's the brown stuff that isn't chocolate, right?

[There's a gravy boat not too far from where they're at, so Vanellope gives it, and her cookie a look. Hmmm.]

[gonnawreckit]

Yep. It's like the anti-chocolate, really great stuff.

[sugarglitch]

[She makes a FACE.]

Hey, I actually like chocolate like a normal person. Unlike some people!

[But! She's willing to give it a try, so.]

Okay, back in a flash! [Glitching over to the gravy and carefully dipping her cookie - frosting and all - into the stuff.]

[gonnawreckit]

[He blinks and squints at where she was standing.]

Did you really just call yourself a normal pers-

[Oh. She is dipping that cookie into the gravy.]

Of course.

[sugarglitch]

[She is dipping two cookies into the gravy! And then making her way back over to Ralph, glitching the last few feet.

She holds out one cookie to him.]

'Kay, here ya go Jumbo. If I gotta try it, you gotta try it!

[gonnawreckit]

[Gross. But... hey, if that gravy could power up anything....

He pulls it out of her hand.]

Fine, kid. But we gotta eat it at the same time, alright?

[sugarglitch]

[She just grins.]

That works. On three, okay? One, two, three!!!

[She puts it up to her lips to chomp on- but doesn't actually bite into it or anything. Busy looking at Ralph's reaction and all.]

[gonnawreckit]

[Ralph takes it in one bite. And he goes through a strange series of facial expressions from the bizarre meshing of tastes.]

[sugarglitch]

[She tries, okay? She really does. But that snicker she was trying to hold in just bursts forth til she's giggling and laughing.]

You should'a seen your face!

[gonnawreckit]

[He glares as he finishes chewing and makes a difficult swallow.]

Why don't you eat your own so we can see yours, Ring Pop?

[sugarglitch]

[She sticks her tongue out at him.]

Fine, I will!

[At least she's prepared! She takes as big of a bite as she can manage - and makes a grimace at all the strange flavors.]

[Once she swallows she scowls up at Ralph for only a split second before she snickers.]

Gross.

[gonnawreckit]

[Ralph makes a gagging motion himself, and while she scowls at the taste, Ralph arranges his hands as if taking a picture with an invisible camera. Then his face mirrors hers in the aftermath.]

I know, right? But I've had worse.

[sugarglitch]

What's worse than frosting and chocolate chips and this gravy stuff? [Shudders because why was it a good idea to eat that, and where can she get a glass of water or soda here...]

[gonnawreckit]

Garbage sandwiches, basically.

[sugarglitch]

[She frowns.]

Gross-gross. Good thing you come over and visit Sugar Rush all the time, now. 'Least the garbage there is still candy!

[gonnawreckit]

Once again, still just taking your word for all of this.

[sugarglitch]

Yeah, yeah, okay. Just believe me when I say, you're eating a lot better now okay?

[gonnawreckit]

Yeah, gee, thanks a lot, my pint-sized dietician.
