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!]

[Jack is about to clarify that the main Scandinavian menace facing England in the modern age is financial primacy and terrible Swedish pop, but the music changes before he can manage. The tune is anything but what he'd expected, not a waltz or Latin-esque rhythm but something very . . . old. Earthy. Exciting, vaguely, though he does not have the first idea of what kind of dance matches it.]

This . . . you dance to this? [He grins quizzically at the little music-light, then back at Loki.]

[Loki laughs.] I ask the same thing of your music all the time.

[He reaches down and takes Jack's hands.] 'tis a quick dance, but a relatively easy one. [And with care, he starts going through the steps. He's used to leading, so it's more letting Jack know which way to expect to have to follow.]

[Loki leads with conviction and a surprising amount of strength; following is ultimately easy, as long as one doesn't think too much before one moves. It's the perfect activity to engage in after drinking a bit, doubly so for Jack, who's always been able to lose himself in a strong rhythm and bright notes. The steps really are relatively simple, and Jack laughs delightedly with the first direction change he anticipates and moves with, squeezing Loki's hands as he springs out into the next set of steps.]

[Since Jack's enjoying himself, Loki enjoys himself. While there are fun ways to subtly harass or torment one's partner while dancing, he's not really in the mood for those kind of games tonight. He just wants fun, and this is certainly very fun.

He grins as he dances, squeezes Jack's hands back, and laughs.]
