exsiliumlogs | ( 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.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[There's a smart comment she could make there, but she decides to just answer the question, instead.]

Saul told me about our two idiots.

[She figures Mike will know what she means.]

[oh, he knows what Steph means. He wish he didn't]

Yeah . . . [it's a drawn out sound] Figured he'd would.

Took me a while to work out what he was saying, around all the expletives.

[You bet there was angry ranting involved.]

[Mike isn't surprised in the least]

All I got was a bunch of texts.

Lucky you.

[She sighs.]

I don't know how to fix this.

[Because she has to, of course. There has to be a way to make it better, at least a little, she just hasn't figured it out yet.]

Neither do I.

[and he hates not being able to fix things] I was going to try to talk to the original idiot. [which is Jesse, of course]

You think that'll actually help? [a beat, and she bites back another sigh.] You think a woman twice my age will listen to an I've been there talk?

[Because she gets why Skyler is doing this, and she has been there, but she knows adults sometimes don't take advice all that well.]

Won't know unless we try.

[it's an answer to both questions, because he really has no idea if it'll help, or Skyler will listen, or anything]

I guess it can't get much worse. That part of it, at least.

[Things with Walt could always get worse, but Jesse and Skyler sleeping together seems to be pretty much rock bottom, as far as those two can go.]

[he pauses, fork almost to his mouth, and turns his head to look at Steph again]

It can always get worse. [he doesn't mean to be a downer, but he likes being realistic about things. His experience with Walter taught him that little lesson real good]

Nope, I refuse.

[It's not getting worse because she refuses to let it.

There.]

[Steph pls.

Mike just makes a face. Which, really, it's just covering up a grin]

[She knows.]

Anyway, where that's concerned, I think the only way it could get worse is if one of them started sleeping with Saul, and that's definitely not happening.

[now the face is genuine]

Thank god.

[She can't resist the urge to troll him a little.]

Not sure which'd be worse out of those two, though.

[think about it, mike

think about it]

I'm not thinking about it.

[N O P E]

I think I'd be more jealous of Jesse.

[stop it]

[he isn't even dignifying that with a response]

Though I guess I could have Lisbeth to myself, in that case....

[Just hit her.]

[this pie sure is good]

[And then comes a shout from across the room:] Stop making Mike look uncomfortable!

[She tried so hard and got so far but in the end she almost doubles over with laughter, anyway.]

Sorry, baby!

[welp.]

[addendum: this pie is excellent and he is ignoring both of them]

[Give her another second.

Maybe she should've stopped after the fourth glass of wine.]

Sorry, sorry, I'm good. That was mean.

[And yet she doesn't actually seem all that sorry.]

Edited (html pls) 2013-11-13 05:30 (UTC)

Oh, no, take your time. Don't let me stop you.

[said in the most deadpan]
