( 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.

Yes? [ How is this so shocking?! ] I can't think of any reason why I wouldn't be serious.

[ make meeeee ]

Well, I'm a little surprised she hasn't told more people, but why would I? I'm a pretty private person, so I suppose she's actually decided to respect that some.

Seven months!

[Still not over it, sorry Caesar!!]

[ two redheads enter, one redhead leaves. ]

If you subtract all the time spent trying not to die or being kidnapped or hospitalized, it's probably a lot less.

You don't have to say it like that!

[ the ginger games??? ]

I'm only trying to help. Obviously the number seven is too much for you to handle.

You mean the ones that never existed?

[personal profile] quackery 2013-11-26 06:15 am (UTC)(link)
Please get out of the chair.

[ Aaand they're back to this. ]

And why would I do that?

[personal profile] quackery 2013-11-26 06:17 am (UTC)(link)
Because now you're awake and people need to start cleaning up soon!

I only promised to help set up. My dues have been paid!

Getting out of your chair isn't a duty!
commentboxtroll: (draw a line in the sand)

[personal profile] commentboxtroll 2013-11-26 06:21 am (UTC)(link)
But it is an effort.
quackery: (i've tried before but here's)

[personal profile] quackery 2013-11-26 06:22 am (UTC)(link)
Wouldn't you be more comfortable in your bed?

[personal profile] commentboxtroll 2013-11-26 06:26 am (UTC)(link)
[ Now there's a good point...

Caesar sighs and leans back in the chair.

Are you really planning on arguing with me until I go do something or leave?
quackery: (to every night alone goodbye)

[personal profile] quackery 2013-11-26 06:26 am (UTC)(link)
[She takes a moment to think about that.]

Um, yeah!
commentboxtroll: (it is an aggravation)

[personal profile] commentboxtroll 2013-11-27 06:30 am (UTC)(link)
I suppose it won't do to argue with that kind of persistence. It'll just end with a headache...

[ Fiiiiiine, he's moving. He's moving and he hopes you're happy, Ahiru!

Well.

Okay, he doesn't hope that, but whatever, he pushes the chair the rest of the way out and gets to his feet, stretching back and arms as he does.

And all I wanted to do was sleep, too.
quackery: (i've tried before but here's)

[personal profile] quackery 2013-11-27 06:34 am (UTC)(link)
[And all he gets for his trouble is A Look.]

It's not like I'm depriving you of sleep! That's what your bed is for.
commentboxtroll: (a child of five would understand this)

I like to consider anywhere I lay my head down to be my bed.
