( 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.

You could say that.

[He would go into how it's not telekinesis, but rather the harassing of cosmic energy that allows him to create a faint light show and a solid platform that can carry the dishes over. But that would be too much detail. Telekinesis is much more concise.]

My teammates tends to call it magic. It might be more useful than six set of arms.

[Because the dishes are already clean and neatly stacked in his pile. It's a quick spell and a few magic finger motions. He doesn't mind using it on trivial things if it helps lighten someone's mood.]

[He still finds this whole magic business fascintating and frustrating at the same time. It's almost reassuring to see that strangers react positively to it.]

I could, if I'm not taking your enjoyment from it.

[So maybe he assumed this is part of the fun part of this feast.]</small

I thought it was part of this [He looks around, vaguely gesturing at the residuals left behind.] festival. You cook, eat and clean. Together. But most of them have left you to do this yourself. I thought maybe you enjoyed it.

[He sits down by a bench and gets to it. Surround each plate with just enough cosmic energy and bam. Dish cleaned.]

It isn't a difficult task. [Says the guy using ~magic to do this] They shouldn't have left you with it.

[He watches her expression briefly and changes pattern the light shows every now and then.] This is trivial compared to what I was made to do.

You're a sweet girl.

[She reminds him of a friend, Phyla-Vell. He finds himself missing her more than expected. There's a smile in his voice even though his face won't have any of that going on. The light rings turns purple/magenta as his default.]

It is just light - energy. I can manipulate and focus the cosmic energy around us. I was created to bring the next step of the human race by very foolish men. But when I was created, I didn't have this ability. I can do this now. And I can heal people, now. I couldn't before.

[He looks at her and her wheelchair] Would you like me to try after the dishes are done?
