[OPEN] Thanksgiving in Reverein (2022)

Who: Anyone!
Which: Log, OPEN
Where: The Wild Harvest
What: Open mingle log for anyone wanting to attend the Thanksgiving dinner Alastor advertised on the journals the day before
When: Forward-dated to November 23rd between noon and 6PM
Warnings: None


Starting at noon and ending at six PM, The Wild Harvest had a few tables pushed together and covered by white tablecloths. Atop the tables were stacks of plates along with large serving trays full of food that had been promised in the invitation Alastor had put out the day before.

Also as promised, there were two extra tables added to the end, a stack of small slips of paper and a few pens. There was a little sign as well:

Please write your dish's name along with your own on one of the provided slips of paper. This way we can get any empty serving dishes back to their original owners.

Aside from the tables occupied by food, there were plenty of seats for people to sit down to eat at whether they wanted to mingle or to dine alone. A far nicer setup than the plaza the previous year.

Blimey, that's a 'ole pack o' boys! 'ow d'ya manage all of 'em?

[Well, it doesn't seem too implausible given Della's level of energy, but it's still A Lot for Gina to imagine herself! And it's not often she meets Actual, Real Life Moms.]

[ She was full of hot air before, but now she's practically glowing with pride. Her boys are the best! ]

It's not easy, but that's part of the fun! Huey's got an amazing memory, nothing gets by him! Dewey's a show-stopper, he can get all eyes on him in an instant! And Louie can see through schemes in an instant, he's the master of loopholes!
lestray: (happy)

[Seeing her talk about her kids like that, it brings out a warm smile on her face.]

Nah, it's just me from my world here...

[ She pauses for a moment, then puts her elbows on the table, cracking her knuckles. Shove the sadness DEEP down. ]

... So I need to have a lot of adventures here, so I can tell them all new stories!
lestray: (a good laugh)

[It's really awful for families to be separated like this. But she feels like Della doesn't need to hear that. She seems like a decent mum so far. So Gina regards her with a smile.]

Good thinkin'! An' this feast right 'ere will make for one great tale for 'em, if I do say so meself!

And you know what? All this jibber-jabber's made me super duper hungry! I'm ready for round two!

[ Triumphant fist to the table! ]

Bring on the next meal! I won't show it any mercy!
lestray: (joy)

[The energy is infectious! Gina feels ready to take on her next course!]

Same 'ere!! I'm ready to jump right back into the fight!! Come on now!

[And so the feast carried on, and mistakes were made.]
