Pizza Planet, Monday

[carbsliftthespirit]

Okay, yes, one of today's specials had also been on the board last week, but this week was different. This week was all about the leftovers.

Not that the pizzas were made with real Thanksgiving leftovers. Those were long gone in any household that included Raiden, and also, he was pretty sure the health department frowned on that sort of thing (if the health department even knew how to find this island). But it was the principle of the thing, y'know?

Specials
Thanksgiving Pizza
Butternut Crust Pizza
Green Bean Casserole Pizza

Pizza Planet is open!

"I was in Hawaii, celebrating with mine," Steve said, smiling back. He held out a small bag. "Loco moco doesn't travel at all, but I thought you'd like this anyway."

[carbsliftthespirit]

"Which is tragic," Raiden said as he opened the bag, "because loco moco is delicious--oh my gods it's so cute."

Not as good as real loco moco, mind you. But adorable.

"Steve! You shouldn't have!"

Steve grinned, waving it off. "I was shopping for stuff anyway and it seemed perfect for you."

[carbsliftthespirit]

"This is definitely going on the tree," Raiden assured him. "I should probably spruce this place up for the holidays, huh?" He froze. "Don't...don't tell my brother I said that."

[grenadesandohana]

Steve laughed. "Is he a guy who decorates only after the calendar says December or does he go the other way?"

[carbsliftthespirit]

"We had to make a house rule that Christmas can't start until Thanksgiving is over," Raiden explained. "Which Gray thinks means 'as soon as the turkey's cleared away.' Dessert is pretty much spent telling him to hold his horses, unless he sleeps through it."

[grenadesandohana]

Steve laughed harder. "Wow. I am...not that invested, personally. But I spent a lot of time on ships where we didn't do decorations."

[carbsliftthespirit]

"I'm not sure when Gray got so into it," Raiden admitted. "We're not even really Christian." Well. It was complicated. "But it's super his thing now." He shrugged. "It makes him happy." He just sort of wished Gray could actually wait until Thanksgiving, aka 'Raiden's thing,' was over, but that was how it went in a big family sometimes.

"Guess it makes buying gifts easy," Steve said. "Just get him another inflatable Christmas thing."

He paused. "Though, apparently, those came to life one year and attacked people."

[carbsliftthespirit]

Gray was pretty easy to buy for, although Raiden had never gone that route before--it wasn't a bad idea, though, except for the second thing Steve had said. "...demons?" he guessed. "Possessing inanimate objects is rare, though..."

[grenadesandohana]

"It's remarkable how much gets slotted under 'Fandom weirdness'," Steve said. "Things just get strange during December."

[carbsliftthespirit]

"Someone was telling me about that." Had it been Steve? Raiden didn't remember. It had been more than a week ago, shh. "Gray's gonna be so hyped! I haven't told him yet, and I'm kinda hoping none of his little friends did, either," he admitted. "So it'll be like a surprise when Christmas throws up all over him."

[grenadesandohana]

"Sometimes literally," Steve said. "I took a shower in mulled wine last year. I don't recommend it."

[carbsliftthespirit]

Raiden just sort of...went hazy, as one might imagine the avatar of Gluttony daydreaming about showering in mulled wine to look. After a moment he shook his head to clear it and asked, "Sorry, what were we talking about? I--I mean, for getting clean that's probably not great, but for delivering the mulled wine straight into your mouth..."

[grenadesandohana]

Steve laughed. "Maybe not at 6 in the morning, but that's just me."

[carbsliftthespirit]

"What can I say?" Raiden joked. "I'm a glutton. Oh! Did you want to order a pizza?"

[grenadesandohana]

"Just for me, for lunch," Steve said. "So the butternut one sounds good."
