( 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.

[Mahdi crouches to speak to Ico face-to-face, squeezing his shoulder.]

It's so good to see you, Ico! I think you've grown another inch.

I'm wearing a dress because I like it.

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?

Yes! It's an Earth festival called Thanksgiving. If you write down something you're thankful for, you can have as much food as you like! I made some desserts.

[Mahdi gives Ico a brief hug around his shoulders.]
hornedomen: (questioning)

[He tipped his head back so Mahdi would not hit his horns and he hugged him in return.]

I left my pen in my room. Is it okay if I come back again?
moralperil: (zap!)

[personal profile] moralperil 2013-11-19 03:08 am (UTC)(link)
There's papers and pens to put up what you're thankful for right over there! Let's go together. I need to write another one anyway.

[Mahdi stands up, offering a hand to Ico.]
hornedomen: (smile)

[personal profile] hornedomen 2013-11-19 10:27 am (UTC)(link)
I'd like that.

[He held Mahdi's hand.]

What did you make? Is it going to make everyone feel better?
moralperil: (zap!)

It's just regular food this time. I try not to sneak in the mood-enhancements unless everyone's aware of it!

I made apple pie, apple cake, spice bread and pumpkin pie! Do you they have pumpkin where you're from? It's really unique...

I never heard of it before. What does it taste like?

[When he came upon the pens and papers, he let go of Mahdi's hand and he took one of each. He was not sure what was expected of him to write, so he looked at the board to see what others had written.]
