Alanna came in, apparently deep in conversation with her cat.

"Hi Alanna, and you too, Faithful. what can I get you tonight?"





[[ooc: sorry for the delay. RL dinner]]

"Hey Deb." Alanna peered at the menu. "I'll have the sandwhiches and two brownies. Faithful, you want any human food?" Faithful purred thoughtfull. "Add another brownie to that?"

"Coming right up. You going home for the holiday?"

Deb gets the food and brownies around.


"If not, come up to the hotel. I'm cooking the biggest baddest dinner you ever saw."

Alanna frowned. "It's not a holiday for me, so no, I'm sticking around." Faithful tilted his head to the side. "Dinner?" Alanna rolled her eyes. "We'll be there. If only so my cat gets properly fed."

"There you go, honey. We're pretty much expecting everyone who doesn't have some place else to be." Deb hands the bags over and scritches Faithful's ears.

"Thanks Deb. What is Thanksgiving anyway? Giving Thanks?" While Alanna puzzled this over, Faithful happily purred.

"Basically. See, about 400 years ago, a bunch of religious radicals--called Puritans--got run out of England, which is an island nation on the other side of the ocean we're in. They sailed west to what they called "The New World" and set up a colony. It was very very hard, and most of them died the first winter. If the local inhabitants hadn't shown them about corn and fishing, they would have all starved. So they declared a day set aside after the harvest to give thanks for their survival. The religious colonies did a lot of that."

Deb pauses for breath. "About 150 years ago, the president of the United States set aside the last Thursday of November as the Day of Thanksgiving."

"For most of us, we're thankful for our family, friends and wellbeing."

Alanna starred. "Oh. Thanks! That um, makes sense. I'll see on Thursday then?"

"See you then, honey."
