( 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.

I'm not certain there's any solid rule about it... [tilting his head at her.] But if you're determined to carry on, it's fine. [it's not like there's much worry about sunrises or sunsets to sleep through.]

[wow, Collette. Blue is like...a professional sleeper and he thinks this sure is something precious.

he's gone only in the time it takes to move those plates she's stacked, finding her and the magical fork.

he carefully plucks it out of her hand before leaning down:]


I've done what I can here. Would you walk me back to the quarters? [the closer he can get her to bed the better the world will be.]

[personal profile] firstroar 2013-11-17 04:00 am (UTC)(link)
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?

[personal profile] firstroar 2013-11-17 04:33 am (UTC)(link)
[he glances that way, slowing.]

How far out of the way?

[he's turning toward that wing now.]

It seems lonely, Collette. Why not occupy one of the nearer, vacant rooms?

[he wants to say because of bad dreams? but that's rude. that's like...admitting you float around sometimes checking in on people like a ghostly voyeur. and even if that's totally what you do, it's not nice to announce!

he's chewing on this, the farther they go. heck, even entertaining the thought of exploiting a particular power of his but...]

[personal profile] firstroar 2013-11-17 06:09 am (UTC)(link)
[he stops once he's gotten some pulse of awareness, ownership to one of these rooms. he's not going to force her to move toward it, instead turning to her, watching, considering.]

They can be fought. Not as you would fight anything yourself, but...instead, as letting them fade into the background of your mind.

I can help you, if you wish.

[he smiles, a little hurt in his eyes. but it's no real harm, that kind of concern. it's rooted in affection, after all.]

More than anything, it may be a benefit to the both of us. For your sake, setting aside painful memories. For mine...[a hand on his chest.] sharing what good memories I have to someone more than worthy of them.

[you've always wanted to become a living scrapbook, haven't you?]

[personal profile] firstroar 2013-11-17 06:42 am (UTC)(link)
I should hope not. I wouldn't be able to walk away, knowing I could have helped and failed to do so. [he looks past her, at the number of doors.] Show me where to go, and we'll see about putting some of those unpleasant dreams aside for a time. Enough to give you some better rest.

[personal profile] firstroar 2013-11-17 04:30 pm (UTC)(link)
No, thank you. [he follows her inside, a hand sliding under the collar of his cape where the fastener is set, peeling the purple off shoulder to shoulder and draping it over his arm. it makes him look smaller, sans flowing fabric.

he stops at the dumping-grounds bed, giving things a little regard one by one, staring a little longer at the book at wondering.]

[personal profile] firstroar 2013-11-19 12:26 am (UTC)(link)
This a worthy diversion. [his smile is apologetic when he looks her way again.] I apologize; it was just an excuse to send you on your way here. You're very tired, Collette.

[those words stick strangely in his head, keep him quiet for a time.]

I understand.
