( 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 suppose I should start from the beginning, then.

[People are beginning to clear out now, so he's not as worried about others overhearing.]

The dark goddess Takhisis had the eggs of the metallic dragons, her enemies, stolen, while they slept. She made them swear an oath that they would get their eggs back safely if they didn't intervene in her latest attempt to take over Krynn.

[His tone and expression turn bitter.]

Most did. The few that refused were punished by the other metallics, for not believing Takhisis's lies, and for not giving up on their children.

When the metallics realized what had truly happened, that their eggs had been warped by magic to create us, they joined the war.

[Well. He takes in a sharp breath.]

Classic villain maneuver...yet I've fallen for it before.

They knew Takhisis's nature, her tricks. They should have known better.

During the war, they killed us. That's to be expected, being on opposite sides. But that wasn't the only reason they did it; they thought it a mercy, that we were perversions and better off dead. Some of them even tried to change us back to dragons, and failed. I can still see the looks of revulsion, of pity, in their eyes when they killed us during battle. They didn't stop after the war ended, either, continuing to hunt us down.

[His wings rustle and his scales click at the memories.]

[Well...that was sure something. Something rather nasty.]

That's horrid. But...he doesn't think that way, does he?
governorkang: (Neutral)

[He shakes his head.]

No, he doesn't. I only know of the ones that refused because he told me.

There's one more part to it. There were draconians created from chromatic eggs, who didn't turn out like us. They were more like the metallics: good in nature. Most of them were ordered to be killed off by the Dragonarmies, but some survived and escaped. Some of the metallic dragons took them in.

[Abandoned, pitied and reviled, and lastly, replaced. Big, happy family.]

So he didn't quite belong either?

[He sighs]

I can't imagine how complicated those thoughts have to be.

I can only hope that more like him survived the Overlords. We may be able to repair things, given time.

[It'd be nice to have one less worry.]

I think you will.

You're one of the best leaders I know, and with that cooperation fostered...there's definitely a chance.
