Community Event 2: Thanksgiving/Harvest Festival

[itsabelle]

It's a little of A and a little of B. The food is present - gosh, is the food present. Isabelle made sure not to miss anything: turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes, gravy, casserole, buttermilk rolls, cornbread, and those were just the normal options. Accommodations were made to diets like her own, and she even managed to get something for their more uniquely diet guest who would only subsist on coffee otherwise.

Besides the food, the hall has been decorated too thanks to her brother Digby and the Happy Home Academy. Festive fallen leaves decor with dark rugs, neatly hung drapes by the windows gathered into gold ropes, long tables with cream table cloths set with plates and silverware, and comfortable chairs colored yellow, orange, and red as they lined the tables.

"Okay, a piano if someone wants to play it, double string bass, speakers and... mhm! Beverages on that table, and laptop over there... that looks like everything! And right on time!"

Isabelle's beaming as she lowers her clipboard and fixes her tie - she really likes this Future Foundation suit. Bells jingling, she walks over to the main door which she knocks several times so they can be open.

"Welcome everyone and thank you for waiting! Come in and enjoy yourselves!"

[OOC: Happy Harvest/early-Thanksgiving/belated-Thanksgiving everyone! Mingle for all!]

[As Kureha plays, Duster folds his arms on top of the piano and listens. He's only heard her once while dead, and he never got a good glimpse of how she got those large paws to play exact keys.

...It will forever be a mystery.

But for now, he enjoys listening to someone else perform while taking a break from the bass.]

[ instead of the kind of racket you'd expect to hear from someone with such huge paws at the piano, she's actually not half-bad -- she's playing Moonlight Sonata just a hair too slowly and a bit unsurely. She's kind of rusty, but bless her heart, she's trying.

eventually, she pipes up - ]

Has anyone else been playing much?

[mindofathief]

[Duster had closed his eyes to listen to her playing, and when she stops, they opens them halfway. Moonlight Sonata is song that makes him sleepy, and it takes him a moment to register Kureha's question.]

Hm? Oh, not yet. I think we were all busy eating and catching up. [His whiskers twitch and he rubs his eyes with the back of his hand.] I'll play once you're finished.

It has been a while. I guess everyone's been busy trying to settle in back at home again.

[ it'd been so long, after all -- it's not quite as simple as just going home and leaving it at that, especially after an experience like murder hotel. The SHSL Therapist had been doing his best, but there's only so much healing that can be done in so many months. ]

But it's been good to see everyone. I didn't even realize how long it'd been until I got here and saw us all together again...

[mindofathief]

How long has it been? Four months? [Not enough time to rebuild all of New Tazmily, barely enough to get situated with living at home with his old friends, but a long enough time to miss everyone he met at murder hotel.] It's hard to believe that half a year ago, we never met each other, and look at us now.

We've become close friends in two months.
