( open ) happy moonsgiving, everyone! (forward dated to 11/15)

Date & Time: All Day, November 15th, 3313
Location: Focused centrally on the Moon Base Cafeteria.
Characters: Any and all!
Summary: It's a feast on the moon under the guise of being a new sort of Thanksgiving! Food, drink, merriment, food comas... lend a helping hand, fill a few plates of goodies, and meet friends new and old!
Warnings: None right now. Please PM this account should anything go beyond a "my grandmother is also reading this and that is okay" level of appropriate.
Notes: Tag in action or prose, and please specify a time of day, location, or activity your character is participating in! (Set-up, the feast, clean up, etc.) Feel free to offer multiple prompts, as your heart desires! Also, Collette is asking for people to write something they're thankful for on butchers paper on the wall before getting their first plate of food. This is 100% optional!

In the morning, the setting up begins. It's hard to say what's a morning versus what isn't on the moon, but using the lighting system as a sort of guide, those who offered to help set up the feast or continue on with the cooking will all be there bright and early.

After things are cleaned, the cooking continues on while further set up of plateware and silverware and hard to break glasses are left to those helping hands with a mind for arrangement details. The whole of one section has been converted into a sort of buffet-style lineup, waiting for the dishes to be complete and set at ready. All varieties of the usual dietary fare have been offered, some in greater quantities than others.

Then comes the time where people stopping by or trickling in aren't just turned around or co-opted into assisting; it's feast time, though not before an announcement that each person getting a plate of food must write at least one thing they're thankful for on a large sheet of butcher paper taped up to the wall. There's a variety of colored markers and pens provided, from someone's personal (and eclectic) collection. It's a soft price to pay for free food and plenty of it!

When the feasting has wound down, so begins the clean up. Tired, drunk, well fed, over fed, or simply content, people will be shuffled out or dragged into helping turn the cafeteria back into working, normal form. What decorations were added will need collecting (or stealing), plates and dishes and cooking implements and pots and pans will need washing, and floors a good sweeping and waterless mopping before things are all back in order. Leftovers, if there are any, will need to be placed in sealable containers and put into refrigeration.

And then, blissfully unaware of anything impending on the horizon, to bed, or different haunts, for the night.

[Reluctantly, Mahdi lets go of Jack's hand and stands up, smoothing hit skirt before heading for the door.]

[He waits for a good minute, because he's not about to make this obvious, before following Mahdi out the door (although really, no one is watching).

The hallway is happily empty, and Jack grins as he goes to catch up with Mahdi, taking hir hand again.]


You got a good hand to hold-- ah, here we go, come in here--

[A pause, confused, before an even wider smile.]

Who? You mean Jack? Are you two—?
hornedomen: (smile)

[personal profile] hornedomen 2013-11-17 03:48 am (UTC)(link)
I'm glad to see you, too.

[He smiled at Mahdi. It had certainly felt as if his hair had grown an inch, at least. While he did not understand why Mahdi would like it, he did not question about it.]

Why is there lots of food here? Is it a festival?
gevurah: ELLE!!!!!! (elle!!!)

[ Kate smiles a little. ]

I do prefer coffee myself.

But if there's good tea to pass around, I won't turn it down.

I'm honored.

[honored to probably not even be making it to his room; she needs the escort more than he. that's more or less the plan, anyway, as he turns and moves to fall into step beside her once she's moving.]

Which one happens to be yours, again?
gevurah: (daddy's girl)

[personal profile] gevurah 2013-11-17 04:07 am (UTC)(link)
Name the time and place and I'll be there.

[Mahdi squeezes Jack's hand and lets him pull hir along to the bathroom.]

Is my hand one of the things you're thankful for?
allucinator: (sarcasm: smirk no. 395)

[personal profile] allucinator 2013-11-17 04:14 am (UTC)(link)
Your hand--

[He closes the door behind them and pushes Mahdi gently but firmly against the wall. With a grin he leans in, kissing the angel firmly. Against hir mouth:]

Your mouth--

[ While she smiles and nods in agreement, Kate actually hates waking up that early. She can't remember the last time she voluntarily got out of bed at that time. Only on the restless "nights", which occur more often these days. ]

Works for me.

Tomorrow morning?

[he glances that way, slowing.]

How far out of the way?

[ noooo why is he moving...?

Caesar grumbles, just meaningless sounds of someone waking up, and turns his head only enough to squint at the person so offensively waking him up!
]

Why?
gevurah: (egg is a great person)

[personal profile] gevurah 2013-11-17 04:53 am (UTC)(link)
[ Exactly what she does (well, did). ]

It is.

[ She pauses, wetting the bottom lip that's uncomfortably dry. ]

Thanks.

"But doesn't orange fit the theme? You could finish adding enough paint to look like a pumpkin."

He smiles over it, but briefly. It fades some when she questions how the wine even came to be! Overall, he doesn't have a clear idea of where it's from, but it's also clear Collette doesn't know all that much about wine! So, he shrugs.

"Wine can be made from lots of stuff, not just grapes. Other fruits, honey, flowers, roots. I couldn't tell you what they used, only that it was local and isn't poisonous. Bitter, too, but what can you expect from limited resources?"
commentboxtroll: (...tsk.)

[personal profile] commentboxtroll 2013-11-17 05:01 am (UTC)(link)
"But only one, and that spot is taken."

Sorry, Kate, you are so out of luck. Not that it matters, because here he is hauling plates around anyway, so... Caesar gives the currently running dishwashers a look of minor betrayal when he notices they are, in fact, in use.

"Right. So, here they are. I'll just leave them on the counter, right?"
quackery: (now it's time to say goodnight)

[personal profile] quackery 2013-11-17 05:02 am (UTC)(link)
There's some cookies!

[That is a complete lie, but she figures if there's one thing that can get him up quickly...]

[ Aurican is given a strange, sudden sensation: a cool, sweeping sensation, the kind he would get when he feels suspicious but is not sure what, exactly, is so suspicious in the first place, not unlike the time he felt such sensation when he smelled the smokey smell before he discovered the waste on Silvanos' beautiful city.

He wonders what was Kang said that produce such a sensation in the first place. ]

Interesting. [ Although it looks a little like what the Kagonesti elves would prefer, but Aurican wisely keeps this comparison to himself. ] Any spares left so I can try a taste?
gevurah: (cool story)

It's a promise.

[ She points her thumb toward the tables and then the dish washing units. ]

I'm going to help with clean-up, so let me know if you need anything.
