worldhop | Community Event 2: Thanksgiving/Harvest Festival

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!"

...If that's your reasoning, you're gonna have a big problem.

[At least when they all meet like this.]

Your writing looks pretty good, though.

[Not that he's really a good judge because he's still wondering why everyone can't just speak his language, but hey.]

Oh, well, I meant back home. Tsukiyama's dad probably speaks it, but I don't think any of the servants do... And besides, I'm so bad at it I'm sure no one else will understand what I'm trying to say anyway!

[Just listen to how he manages to butcher "GREATEST COOL".]

Thanks! I like to think my handwriting's gotten better after so much practice.

Why do you want some secret language only you guys can speak, anyway?

[I mean couldn't you just scream GREATEST COOL in different intervals and make it a code-]

[DON'T YOU DARE SUGGEST THAT]

Oh, I thought it was obvious. We haven't told his family yet! So I can't flirt with him when we're in public.

[...except most of them have realized it by now because ryuunosuke is not subtle at all.]

...You haven't?

[Why haven't they- but wouldn't it be easier to just--?]

Nope! Tsukiyama's dad is kinda... well, he probably won't take it well and for now we just want to relax. We'll probably have to get our own place once we talk to his dad about it, and for now... Well, the mansion's the safest place for us, so we don't really want to go anywhere else.

[Shrug! He's totally fine with this.]

[Why would his dad kick him out for...

...

Silver has a lot of things that he could blurt out about how he feels about that string of sentences, but instead he keeps quiet. ...Keeping the displeasure off of his face is a whole other story.]

...Oh, he's not that bad! I mean, he's kind of... nothing really bothers him. Which is a little weird... But he's really not that bad! He just has expectations and Tsukiyama's breaking them if he's with me. So it... probably won't be a nice conversation.

[LOOK AT HOW HARD HE'S TRYING]

No, you don't... I get it. It's okay.

[That doesn't make him look any happier about it, does it.]

Yeah. Sorry...

[He rubs the back of his head with an awkward laugh.]

[Wait, don't... Oh god, what the hell does he even-]

Ryuunosuke, why do dads suck?

[He is keeping his god damn voice down because this is not something you say about Tsukiyama's dad--]

I mean, I thought Harvey was kind of a decent dad, but look at how that turned out.

[Well.]

Yeah... I wish I could tell you, Silver.

[His dad was actually really cool, but uh. Ryuunosuke kind of happened. Whoops.]

I mean, I can kinda understand where Tsukiyama's dad is coming from. Tsukiyama's his only kid, and he's expecting Tsukiyama to continue the family line and all that. So I can get why that'd be a problem.

He was kidnapped for a couple of months. Maybe he'll understand. That kind of thing has an effect on people.

[His dad isn't pressuring him into continuing the family business, at least.]

I'm surprised you guys have kept it a secret for so long.

[Ryuunosuke buddy you're a lot of things but subtle is not one of them and there is absolutely nothing subtle about "hey this is my human friend" in a house full of nonhumans-]

Yeah, that's what I'm hoping. Maybe he'll lighten up a bit. Tsukiyama obviously went through a lot... and he didn't really want to talk about it.

[Understandably so, of course.]

I'm honestly pretty surprised too! I mean, I'm pretty sure Matsumae thinks we're married or something, but uh. She's probably the only one!

[...she probably isn't.]

[Probably, huh.]

At the rate you're going, everyone will be cool with it by the time you guys actually say something.

[Which works out for the best, doesn't it?]

I've been told that as long as I make him happy and don't break his heart, it's cool with Matsumae! Of course if I do break his heart then she's probably going to break my everything, but that's nothing to be worried about!

[SHE WILL TOTALLY KILL HIM and it might be kind of cool BUT THAT WILL NEVER BE A CONCERN]

As long as you avoid saying you're not a person, you should be fine.

[You, you know, never ever said anything like that ever again, right...]

Oh God, don't worry, I'm never making that mistake again!

[He holds up his hands in defense and laughs awkwardly.]

I've apologized a lot for that one... But I mean, as long as we're not confronting any evil bitches holding us hostage for two months, I think I'll be fine!

[...did you just call monaka a bitch]

I still wish you guys made her suffer before she died.

[Is it bitch about Monaka hour]

[it's always bitch about monaka hour]

Ugh, same here. I get why Tsukiyama did it that way, but... I would've loved to watch her go through all of those executions. At least three times. Maybe that would have been enough... but probably not.

You could make a sculpture out of her, and it still wouldn't have been enough.

[Fuck Monaka.]

It definitely wouldn't. I think she would have healed from whatever I did to her as long as that gem was intact, so I could've had a lot of fun-- Ah, but the others wouldn't have liked that at all.

[What a disappointment...]

The others are no fun.

[Silver.]

True, but we were so messed up by everything that happened, that could've screwed everything up. I don't think anyone would have voted to stay with that bitch, but it would've taken longer while we argued about whether or not I should be allowed to have fun.

[...ryuunosuke]

...Yeah, you have a point.

[Silver--]

You think we could stick a wig on some girl none of us care about and pretend?

[Silver--]
