Thanksgiving Dinner, Community Center, Thursday Evening

[wesleynotponcy.livejournal.com]

So thanks to the combined efforts of Student Council members and non-members alike, a Thanksgiving dinner had been put together in the Community Center. There were pies, there were casseroles, there were other moddable edible things, and then there were the rolls made out of pie crust.

Thank you, Karla.

Come in and enjoy a Thanksgiving dinner where your friends and relatives wouldn't disappear on you! Probably!

[[open to all!]]

As Fandomites are so fond of doing.

Eat Dinner!

There's food! And then there's whatever Karla made!

What Are You Thankful For?

Today I was awakened after five hours of sleep NOT due to a fire alarm. This was just my family being loud.

FML.

Jon wasn't the type to turn down food, and he'd even brought a pie and a couple bottles of sparkling cider to add to the buffet.

And since he was a smart Fandomite, he had listened to the radio and was making sure to skip the rolls. They looked a little... Karla-like.

This all seemed super low class and it had been a while since Chuck dealt with something like that, so excuse him if it looked like he was picking at his food like a five year old who didn't know what any of this stuff was.

Hey, at least he wasn't spending Thanksgiving at the bar.

Maybe Annie wasn't so disappointed that she couldn't go home for Thanksgiving. She would make the best of it, and was here and smiling and checking to make sure everything was going right, and - oh god, what were those rolls?

Chuck had been planning to go back and visit Ellie. He'd been looking forward to it. Portalocity broke those plans. The route he'd been offered would've taken so many detours he'd have missed Thanksgiving entirely and probably lost a day or two more along with.

Trying to call Ellie to tell her that had been an all out failure, and he was making a concerted effort to Not Think About That. Which was where this came in. Food and people were great distractions.

He would be taking a little bit of everything. Including the pie-crust rolls. You couldn't say he wasn't brave in certain situations, at least.

The Causeway wasn't letting Gabrielle go home for the day, which was just as well since with everything going on Xena would probably want her out of danger like she usually did. (It was just that the Causeway issues made it a lot harder for Gabrielle to get into danger anyway, per her usual habit.)

So the Thanksgiving dinner it was; she loved the concept of the holiday.

Plus, food. So hey.

Except for those rolls. She recognized her roommate's handiwork.

Raven was hardly in any sort of mood to eat or celebrate, not with all that was going on and seeing Azarath disappear last night. But she knew she had to keep her strength up as much as she could, and the Thanksgiving dinner meant she didn't have to prepare any food herself.

She wasn't going near the turkey, of course. Tofurkey, on the other hand....

Was it wrong to be at Thanksgiving when you weren't actually hungry? In truth, yesterday's meeting and finding out about people and places going missing and doing things like checking Twitter because there might be information there and calling home to make sure everything was still okay there was getting to Jaina a little. But it also meant she actually wanted to be around people.

You win this one, Fandom. You made her be social while in crisis mode. Have a cookie.

Raven sat down near Chuck, pleased to see a familiar face.

"Hello, Chuck," she said. "I hope you have been well."

This morning, Nathan couldn't even get a hold of fucking Curtis. This ongoing joke was really starting to piss him off. He didn't have anything better to do so he found his way to the community center so he could eat until he puked and fall asleep.

All that was missing was booze.

There was hope that even given the cooks, dinner wouldn't suck. It wasn't allowed to on Thanksgiving after all! Besides, Caroline figured someone good had to have helped, right?

Ryan had planned on going to visit her parents for the holiday, but not after Portalocity gave her a travel itinerary that included stops in Quebec, Berlin, Kiev, Shanghai and an overnight stay in Burkina Faso before getting to her final destination.

So she was staying put in Fandom and wondering if anyone else had horrific travel stories to share.

Considering the size of Jake's plate, it must at least have smelled good enough and Jake plopped down beside Caroline.

"It's not going to bite," he teased her.

Re: Arrive and Mingle

[puppywithatutu.livejournal.com]

Spotting the questionable stuffing she'd helped create on his plate, Caroline reached over to cover it with a napkin. "Don't eat that. It technically might bite back."

Re: Arrive and Mingle

[need-no-moon.livejournal.com]

Jake instantly reached up to catch her wrist and stop her from covering his food. "It smells fine. Trust me, I'd know if it was dodgy."

OMG. KARLA'S FOOD IS AWESOME. I CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S GETTING SUCH A BAD RAP. I BLAME TOPHER'S INFLUENCE.

Re: OOC

[dollpocalypse]

Huh. So you're saying Topher is the only one who's ever feared her cooking with all of his heart? Interesting hypothesis, but I'll need some proof...

"Oh please, your sense of smell is tainted," she reminded him. "There's oysters in it. Be afraid."

Re: Arrive and Mingle

[need-no-moon.livejournal.com]

Yeah, his nose had managed to miss that part which was worrying on itself.

"Why are there oysters in the turkey?"

Re: Arrive and Mingle

[puppywithatutu.livejournal.com]

"In the stuffing. It's from a box," Caroline explained. "Are you starting to trust me yet?" Because she'd been there for the creation and knew.

Re: Arrive and Mingle

[need-no-moon.livejournal.com]

"Why would anyone do that?" Jake wondered, shooting her a look. "Okay, so what is safe?"

"It seemed like a good idea at the time!" Caroline insisted, shockingly not throwing Petra under the bus there. "Um, the green beans should be. Quinn made those and seemed to have some idea of what she was doing." Caroline lifted her pink, insulated tumbler. "I'm sticking with my favorite thing."
