Who: Everybody! Everybody!
What: The Big Feast!
When: Thursday, November 27
Where: The Battle Dome
Summary: The whole village is invited for a giant celebratory feast at the Battle Dome! Food, festivities, and fun for all. As a side note, Rapunzel would have posted to the journal about this a few days ago to invite everyone and ask for help, so if you want to handwave your character volunteering/talking to her about it, that's perfectly fine!

Thanks to the help of Luceti's wonderful residents, the feast was ready more or less on time. The Battle Dome had been programmed to look like an old-fashioned great hall, table wall to wall and covered with all sorts of dishes. You want mashed potatoes and gravy? There are mountains. Yams? Got you covered, bro. Baked bean casserole? Naturally! And since Rapunzel is still sort of new to this holiday to herself, some more unusual dishes may have shown up as well. She tried. And don't forget dessert! There's almost as many desserts as regular dishes, from pies to cakes to breads to pudding, so hopefully you saved some room! To drink, there's a variety of punch, spiced pumpkin drinks, and ciders with a hard option for those so inclined.

The hall has been decorated with all sorts of festive touches that the decorating team put up, completing the pleasant harvest-themed atmosphere. So take a seat, eat all you can, enjoy the music and try not to fall asleep too early!

[She went there alright. She. went. there. But Jade only finds it amusing.]

Now, now, daughter of mine. You should know better. [He takes the hair that he has in his hand and tries to throw it in her face to blind her before he can get his ankle wrapped.]

I didn't have the best role model!

[ this is truly a hairy situation. she blows the hair out of her face, redirecting her loop of hair towards the hand he threw the hair with! ]

[Yet Jade acts if there isn't a hair out of place. Her loop does manage to lasso his hand, but he regards it as he would any other bind.]

Yet isn't it said... [Now he tries to yank his lassoed hand backwards to knock her off balance!] ...that Father knows best?

[ rapunzel is standing on some of her own hair when he tries to pull her over, and bare feet plus hair aren't the best combination. down she goes! ...but not entirely gracelessly. she manages to fall into a home-plate slide, winding up at his side before pushing herself upright and trying to wind the hair attached to his arm around his back. ]

I wouldn't know! I've never had one!

[She's moving like an intoxicated cheagle. Well, she'll be successful in that movement at least, but Jade will remain on-guard to try to counter whatever Rapunzel has in store next.]

My, children these days are so ungrateful to their elders...

Good thing today is all about gratitude, old man!

[ here comes the HAIR STORM OF FURY...which basically amounts to rapunzel lifting up armfuls of hair and chucking them at him. ]

[Jade lets out a hollow laugh. With his free hand, he slaps away a lot of the bunches of hair as swiftly as he can, trying to send at least some of them right back at her.]

And such a unique method of gratitude at that, little girl! Ah, the child behavioral studies that could be conducted...

I'm all about unique!

[ aha! she hopes her cover has worked. the hair storm of fury was merely a cover to distract him from her next move. TAKE DOWN ATTACK. ]

This entire encounter has certainly not convinced me otherwise.

[What, trying to tackle him over? Jade may play along with that for a moment. She may be playing right into his hands.]

[ or maybe he's strong enough to withstand rapunzel's petite frame. she throws all her weight against him, though, trying to catch his sides with her hands.

it's gonna be real disappointing if he isn't even ticklish... ]

[Guess what, Rapunzel. He's not. Or maybe his uniform has some layer of padding that keeps her assault from being effective. Maybe it's just another Jade Curtiss mystery.

He does give her the benefit of laughing, however; maybe she'll think she's successful for a moment. And then, while she's making that valiant effort against his sides, he laughs some more as his own hands swiftly begin to dive towards Rapunzel's sides, and his own assault begins.]

[ his ruse works. success! he's laughing! rapunzel wears a grin of vicious triumph - that soon dissolves into one of unfettered laughter.

rapunzel is, in fact, very ticklish. ]

[Victory is so sweet. Jade keeps his hands going along her sides without mercy, quietly chanting as he does so.]

Petapetapetapetapeta...

[ OH NO, OH NO, SHE'S GOING DOWN. completely disarmed by tickling, rapunzel flops to the ground, trying to cover her sides as she wheezes out laugh after laugh, stomach muscles protesting. ]

I give, I give!

[Oh good, she surrendered. So Jade lets up... after pretending not to hear her for almost half a minute more of torture. Then he finally rises to his feet and confidently adjusts his glasses.]

As expected.

[He does hold his other hand out, however, to hold her up.]

Now have I earned the right to go where I will?

[ rapunzel, still prostrate on the ground in a sea of her own hair, murmurs boldly: ]

Ne-ver...

[He sighs and presses some fingers to his forehead. There's hints of a slight smile despite it all.]

Still so determined to keep me from leaving...?

How else am I going to get to the bathroom?
