"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!]

[She blinks, and then chuckles. Yep, she's used to getting that look.]

Thanks! It's probably a lot longer than anyone's you've ever seen before, huh?

[hero_of_smiles]

I just wonder how you manage to carry all of it. But yeah, you're right.

[gleamed]

Oh, I'm just used to it! I guess you could say I have a pretty strong skull.

[She'd HAVE to.]

[hero_of_smiles]

Guess you'd have to have one. I think I'd break my neck with all that hair.

[But wait, this wasn't the time about hair care.]

Oh, right. I got your invite over the journal. I'm kind of new to Luceti and this building actually. My name's Cross.

[gleamed]

It's nice to meet you, Cross! I'm Rapunzel. I'm glad you could make it!

[Now that his hands are free, she'll stick out hers for a handshake.]

[hero_of_smiles]

[And he'll extend his mechanical hand to shake hers...wait, Rapunzel?]

That...sounds like a really familiar name. Have we met somewhere before?

[gleamed]

[Without missing a beat, she shakes his hand.]

We haven't, but you've probably heard the Rapunzel fairy tale, haven't you?

[hero_of_smiles]

I...have. How do you know that?

[Wait a second...was she-!?]

You're magical aren't you!? You read my mind and figured out I read it before didn't you.

[....He totally missed the mark...by like a billion.]

[gleamed]

[She blinks - and then lifts up a hand, chuckling.]

No, that's not quite it! I'm not magic. It's just something I've encountered a lot here! A lot of people have heard that fairy tale. I guess it's about me. Sort of.

[hero_of_smiles]

Oh, okay that makes sense...I think. Still, I never would have expected a fairy tale girl to be real...kind of changes your perspective on things.

[There's a pause. He seems to be thinking rather deeply...for all about a second.]

Well, it's still good to meet you!

[gleamed]

[She is very real! And totally used to all this weirdness by now.]

It's good to meet you, too! Don't worry, as far as I know there aren't very many fairy tale characters running around here.

[hero_of_smiles]

But there's still others?

[Now he's going to have to go looking.]

Oh, right, I hope all this bread's okay. I got it from the bakery.

[gleamed]

Well...there have been in the past. [She was BFFs with King Arthur, after all.

But then he mentions the bakery, and he is totally derailed.]

Oh! I wonder if Nojiko made it...I'm the head of bakery, it so happens!

[hero_of_smiles]

[He'd love to talk more about fairy tales when Rapunzel just pointed out that his act of kindness...was kind of lame. Even if she didn't say it he now felt that it was.]

O-Oh, I didn't know. I guess maybe I should have brought something else than.

[After all, he didn't think she'd want something she already made for this when she already did a lot of cooking.]

[gleamed]

[She shakes her head.]

No, this is wonderful! I didn't even think about having bread out, but of course we should have some!

[hero_of_smiles]

[S-so he didn't screw up? Oh boy! Now he doesn't feel stupid.]

Oh, great! Well I'm glad I could be helpful.

[gleamed]

You were! I really appreciate you bringing something. I'm sure the rest of these hungry people will, too!

[hero_of_smiles]

Well, then what are we waiting for? We should get dinner on the way!
