( 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.

How's that rude! I didn't say I weren't thankful, I just don't wanna go around writin' it for everyone to see.
moralperil: (FROWN.)

[personal profile] moralperil 2013-11-14 04:35 am (UTC)(link)
You could say you were thankful for my pie, at least! I'm not letting you off the hook! It's an American holiday, isn't it? How can I be better at it than you? [Mahdi rolls hir eyes.] Did you get a piece, by the way?
allucinator: (sarcasm: sneer)

[personal profile] allucinator 2013-11-14 04:36 am (UTC)(link)
I did and it were good and stop talkin', please. Eat your food.
moralperil: (laughter is the best medicine)

[personal profile] moralperil 2013-11-14 06:18 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm only doing it because you said please. [Mahdi 'humphs', going back to hir food. And this silence does go on for a remarkably long time until...] Someone made sweet potatoes. I'm so happy right now. I'm really happy!

[And Mahdi returns to eating with renewed enthusiasm. Really, it's the little things for this one.]
allucinator: (happy: kind)

[personal profile] allucinator 2013-11-15 06:09 am (UTC)(link)
Well, good.

[He brushes his thumb against the back of Mahdi's hand. He's fairly happy himself, truth be told; he likes the simplicity of eating supper with someone he quite likes.]

You wanna come over after supper?
moralperil: (hearts & shoujo bubbles)

[personal profile] moralperil 2013-11-15 10:19 am (UTC)(link)
I'm going to help Collette and everyone clean up, I think. And I was kind of thinking of making a post on the network about some stuff I've been working on... but I might just fall asleep! Unless you think we could think of something else to do? [To hir credit, Mahdi's good enough at playing innocent that it genuinely sounds like ze might not have a clue. Of course, it helps that most of the time ze really doesn't.]
allucinator: (happy: surprised)

[personal profile] allucinator 2013-11-15 06:59 pm (UTC)(link)
[His eyes dart over hir face for a few seconds, uncertain-- but then he grins.]

I could plan somethin' for us. Though I'm kinda hurt; ain't I excitin' enough to stay up for?
moralperil: (zap!)

[personal profile] moralperil 2013-11-16 06:44 am (UTC)(link)
Oh! What kind of thing would you plan? [Grinning!] You're gonna tell me everything you're thankful for, right?

I guess you're worth staying up for, but I wonder if you're stronger than the sleep-power of turkey...!
allucinator: (happy: surprised)

[personal profile] allucinator 2013-11-16 11:00 pm (UTC)(link)
You guess. You guess, you're awful--

[He takes another bite of turkey and tugs at Mahdi's hand.]

Come with me to the bathroom?
moralperil: (zap!)

[personal profile] moralperil 2013-11-17 02:36 am (UTC)(link)
That's me, awful Mahdi! [Mahdi teases, also snatching another bite.] Need an escort? I guess if you're afraid of those halls on your own...
allucinator: (sarcasm: bullshittery)

[personal profile] allucinator 2013-11-17 02:44 am (UTC)(link)
Terrified, darlin', now stop eatin' and come on.
moralperil: (relaxed)

[personal profile] moralperil 2013-11-17 02:47 am (UTC)(link)
[Reluctantly, Mahdi lets go of Jack's hand and stands up, smoothing hit skirt before heading for the door.]
allucinator: (happy: surprised)

[personal profile] allucinator 2013-11-17 02:52 am (UTC)(link)
[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--
moralperil: (hearts & shoujo bubbles)

[personal profile] moralperil 2013-11-17 04:13 am (UTC)(link)
[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--
moralperil: (smoochies & shoujo bubbles)

oops gettin' all PG-13 up in here

[personal profile] moralperil 2013-11-17 06:33 am (UTC)(link)
[Apparently big feasts make Jack amorous. Good to know. Mahdi kisses Jack back, then gives him a little nip!]

The next thing you list better be something other than a body part, or the only person you're gonna have to kiss is yourself in the mirror.
allucinator: (romance: kiss)

Re: oops gettin' all PG-13 up in here

[personal profile] allucinator 2013-11-17 07:20 am (UTC)(link)
[Yes food makes him so amorous.]

Your personality, sweetness, of course.

[He grins breathlessly down at his angel, smirking for a few seconds, before leaning in to kiss hir. It's a firm kiss, hungry, and he tips his hips forward, gently pushing Mahdi against the wall.]

dear lord i laughed at that gif for like a minute straight AND I'VE SEEN IT BEFORE

[personal profile] moralperil 2013-11-17 07:48 am (UTC)(link)
[Mahdi returns the kiss with gusto, then pulls away, laughing.]

Are we seriously going to make out in the bathroom? Someone could see us!
allucinator: (romance: aw yeah business time)

[personal profile] allucinator 2013-11-17 07:52 am (UTC)(link)
Not many people walk into the bathroom when the door is closed.

[He leans in, kissing him again-- and again, with a little bite--]

Don't you wanna make out with me?
moralperil: (hearts & shoujo bubbles)

[personal profile] moralperil 2013-11-17 08:29 am (UTC)(link)
Not in a bathroom.

[In spite of Mahdi gently grasping Jack's chin, and kissing him, apparently.]

--Are you the kind of person who gets all worked up about doing strange things in strange places?
allucinator: (sarcasm: wibbly lip you can't resist)

[personal profile] allucinator 2013-11-17 07:31 pm (UTC)(link)
No, I'm the type of person who gets all worked up from kissin' you. And I wanna kiss you now, so don't deny me.

[He pouts, all big eyes and wibbling lip.]

Mah-di--
moralperil: (hearts & shoujo bubbles)

[personal profile] moralperil 2013-11-17 07:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh my gosh! [Mahdi play-smacks him on the shoulder.] Does this work with other girls? I can't tell if I want to kiss you more or if I want to send you to the doghouse for whining like a puppy!

[And yet, ze's pulling him closer by the hips and kissing him again.] We can kiss whenever, in places that aren't bathrooms. But right now - [kiss] I want to go to the party [kiss] and see my friends!
allucinator: (sarcasm: wiiiiiink)

[personal profile] allucinator 2013-11-18 12:27 am (UTC)(link)
You pine for me for months and then you reject me?

[He kisses hir again-- and again, more firmly, trying to convince his angel.]

Please, you've seen them all night, I want to see you--
moralperil: (;;;;;;;;;;)

[personal profile] moralperil 2013-11-18 02:10 am (UTC)(link)
[Mahdi looks away, dropping hir hands. Jack happened to tread on one of Mahdi's nerves pretty thoroughly. Ze speaks slowly and quietly.] I'm not rejecting you if I want to see more of my friends. Please don't make this weird. You'll have me all to yourself after this and we can kiss all you like.
allucinator: (anger: resentful)

[personal profile] allucinator 2013-11-18 02:16 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh, shit, he thinks, belatedly, because of course he'd only been teasing, he'd been thinking he was talking to Katherine, to someone who could and would shove him away. He pulls back, pushing the back of his wrist against his mouth.

(Stupid. Fucking stupid, and he hates that hot shame curling in his stomach, though it had been an accident; he hates it so he covers it with anger-- not anger at Mahdi, but anger at himself, and he tries like hell to keep it under wraps, because there's no way the angel won't think it's the former and not the latter).]


Nah. You ain't. Go on. I'll see you after, yeah? If you want.
