"but thanksgiving is more than eating, chuck;"

[gleamed]

Who: Residents of CH7 and anyone else who wants to come!

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!]

I've had it so long that I'm just used to it, really. Buuuut it does get caught in things sometimes. And that can be troublesome.

[gonnawreckit]

[Ralph takes a closer look, too, hunched over the child. So shiny. But he grumbles.]

Are you sure you didn't get any of your hair in the food?

[sugarglitch]

[Vanellope rolls her eyes.]

Yeah, don't mind him, Goldilocks. Jumbo here just doesn't know clean hair when he sees it - [She leans over to Rapunzel and does a loud stage whisper,] I don't think he's washed his in like thirty years!

[gleamed]

[She covers her mouth with her hand as she laughs.] That's a pretty long time to go without a shower! But don't worry. I made sure all of the food is hair-free!

[gonnawreckit]

Well - It's not like I even had a shower! Just took swims in the river at Frogger sometimes. Anyway, you better have. I don't want to have to pick a twenty-foot long out of my mouth later.

[sugarglitch]

[Just snickering over here.]

'Least it'll be magic hair! That'll be a first, I don't think I'd mind so much if I found that in my food. [Smiling sweetly up at Rapunzel; isn't she the most darling, angelic thing you've seen?]

[gleamed]

[Yes, pretty much. Precious child.]

With it being magic hair and all, you never know - maybe it'd even make the food taste better!

[gonnawreckit]

Oh, sure. I hear magic hair's just rich in nutrients. Assuming I don't choke on it.

[sugarglitch]

Don't knock it til you try it! [She grins cheesily up at Ralph before turning back to Rapunzel.]

So Goldilocks, didya make all the food here yourself? They're pretty great!

[gleamed]

Why, thank you! [But, no, she can't take credit for ALL of it.] I made a lot of it, but other people brought a lot of dishes, too!

[gonnawreckit]

Yeah, I've gotta say... [He lightly bumps his fist against Rapunzel's shoulder.] This is a real top-notch feast you've put together here. I've never had food this delicious before. This gravy stuff? Phenomenal. Thanks, Goldie.

[sugarglitch]

Yeah, I guess the gravy's okay. Just don't try it with cookies, then it's just- [Vanellope shudders a little, making a face.] Gross.

[gleamed]

[...Vanellope what.]

You...put gravy on cookies?

[gonnawreckit]

[And Ralph will opt to give a shrug.]

What, you don't?

[sugarglitch]

[Vanellope turns big, serious, solemn eyes to Rapunzel.]

You should try it!

[gleamed]

But you just said not to! [She is getting serious mixed signals here.]

[gonnawreckit]

She's just hopped up on sugar. When you haven't had so many cookies beforehand? Well... Then it really tastes like something else!

[sugarglitch]

["Something else" is right. Vanellope rolls her eyes at Ralph before she nods along.]

How'll you know which of us is tellin' the truth if you didn't try it yourself?
