( 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 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?
commentboxtroll: (this is not a yellow brick road)

[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)

[personal profile] commentboxtroll 2013-11-30 10:23 pm (UTC)(link)
I like to consider anywhere I lay my head down to be my bed.
quackery: ('cause there's nothing left)

1/2

[personal profile] quackery 2013-12-01 04:09 am (UTC)(link)
That doesn't even...

[Okay, no, not worth it.]
quackery: ('cause the show is done now)

shakes head at you

[personal profile] quackery 2013-12-01 04:19 am (UTC)(link)
[A smile, in contrast to the frown she'd been wearing a moment ago.]

I'm happy for you, really. Collette's a really good person!
commentboxtroll: (if not quick I am lost.)

it's because he's shorter than oz isn't it

[personal profile] commentboxtroll 2013-12-01 04:32 am (UTC)(link)
Oh.

[ Okay, how do you even respond to that? ]

Uh, thanks. She really is...

[ Yes. That'll do. ]
quackery: commissioned art, please dns! (everyone tells you)

she doesn't like oz, gosh!!!

[personal profile] quackery 2013-12-01 04:37 am (UTC)(link)
[She can't help but giggle for a moment.]

You okay?
commentboxtroll: (what was THAT for?!)

[personal profile] commentboxtroll 2013-12-01 04:40 am (UTC)(link)
[ No, no, don't giggle! ]

Huh? Yeah, I am. It's just strange. I don't normally talk about this.
quackery: (to every night alone goodbye)

[personal profile] quackery 2013-12-01 04:41 am (UTC)(link)
Well, why not?
commentboxtroll: (draw a line in the sand)

[personal profile] commentboxtroll 2013-12-01 04:43 am (UTC)(link)
I refer you back to the point where I said I like to keep my personal life private.
quackery: commissioned art, please dns! (tendu.)

[personal profile] quackery 2013-12-01 04:44 am (UTC)(link)
But if she makes you happy, wouldn't you want to talk about things that make you happy?

[It's not teasing; she's genuinely curious.]
commentboxtroll: (...tsk.)

[personal profile] commentboxtroll 2013-12-01 04:59 am (UTC)(link)
Because then people would suspect I'm capable of being happy, I suppose.
quackery: (there's only one word left to sing)

[personal profile] quackery 2013-12-01 05:00 am (UTC)(link)
That's... Anybody's capable of being happy.

[Concern creeps into her voice.]
commentboxtroll: (as you surely know)

[personal profile] commentboxtroll 2013-12-01 05:05 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, don't take it so seriously. I know. I just don't care for everyone else to. It kind of takes away from that whole moody genius vibe, you know?
quackery: commissioned art, please dns! (everyone tells you)

[personal profile] quackery 2013-12-01 05:08 am (UTC)(link)
[A pause.]

Moody genius vibe?
commentboxtroll: (the king is only fond of words)

[personal profile] commentboxtroll 2013-12-01 05:10 am (UTC)(link)
Yes. [ more like moody teenager, lbr. ] Not that I use that much around you. So, were there dishes to clean still or am I free to go?

quackery: (is goodbye goodbye)

[personal profile] quackery 2013-12-01 05:15 am (UTC)(link)
[She smiles, shaking her head.]

No, you can go. Have a nice night, Caesar.
