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 long as you're all right with it, so am I, amore.

[And that...sounds like it's the end of it, really.]

[greatestcool]

Of course I am!

[He's content to let it drop there, but as usual, Ryuunosuke doesn't shut up.]

...So after dinner are you going to play for everyone?

[He tips his head in the direction of the piano.]

You still have to teach me how to play sometime!

[preybeforemeals]

I'd like to, if no one minds it - and who knows? Perhaps by the next time we do this, you can join me.

[He glances over at the setup, the look brief.]

It seems Duster-san may be playing some tonight as well, should he feel so inclined.

[greatestcool]

I'd really like that! It's definitely something to work toward!

[He follows Tsukiyama's gaze and tips his head a bit as he considers.]

Well, it's not like Duster can play all night. You guys can take turns or something.

[preybeforemeals]

...He doesn't trouble me, you know.

[He's here, after all, and things have yet to turn into an unfathomable clusterfuck.]

Duster-san will do as he does; it's all right. Don't let it bother you.

[greatestcool]

Yeah, I know. You can handle whatever he throws at you, if he decides he wants to get all up in your face, that is.

[That relaxes him though, and Ryuunosuke grins.]

I'm alright! I know everything will be fine!

[preybeforemeals]

Ah, come now, be nice. He's never been "all up in my face," as you put it.

[Guys, why.]

[greatestcool]

Well, I dunno, from what you told me it sounds like he was all up in your face! You didn't even do anything to him.

[HE STILL DOESN'T GET IT]

[preybeforemeals]

Well, no, I didn't...

[look we have no idea why duster felt personally victimized by regina george

he just apparently was tsukiyama doesn't even know]

[greatestcool]

See? It'd make sense if he was that mad at me, but for some reason he wanted to yell at you after everything was said and done? I dunno. But then again, everyone totally believed I was a serial killer, so I guess I'm not as good at this as I thought I was.

[HE MIGHT STILL BE A LITTLE MAD ABOUT THAT]

[preybeforemeals]

...If they have to be mad at anyone alive, I'd prefer it be at me.

[It's not said in any sort of self-deprecating way; it's just how things are.]

It doesn't trouble me, and if they need to be angry in order to recover personally, then that's fine. It isn't as though I have a lot to do with most of the people who would do that, anyway.

[...He isn't sure if he came out of the hotel well-adjusted or just fucked up in different directions, honestly, but that is apparently the stance we're taking today.]

[greatestcool]

Yeah, that's true. I don't like the idea of people being mad at you - especially when there's no reason for it - but it's how they handle things, and that doesn't matter to me.

[SHRUG]

Besides, we're doing well and that's what matters!

[preybeforemeals]

I like to think so, too.

[...We're going to discuss this later, in all probability, but that's fine; it can wait.]

Is there anything in particular you want me to play for you later...?

[greatestcool]

[Yeah, probably...]

Oh, nothing in particular! I just love hearing you play, it's always so pretty! I could probably watch you play forever, you know!

[preybeforemeals]

Ahhh, you're flattering me...

I'll see if I can come up with something you like, though; it's a good evening, we should make a proper night of it.

[greatestcool]

Oh, yeah? I'd really like that! Might as well make a date out of it, right?

[preybeforemeals]

I don't see why not - after all, we have no reason to not be happy.

[...Not least of which because it tends to really piss off people who hate you, but. Details.]

[greatestcool]

Exactly! It'll be really fun! I really enjoy spending time with you, and since we're here and everyone already knows we're together, we might as well make the most of it!
