--rat it all, I did it again, didn't I. Honestly, every Giving-Thanks--but really, I didn't think we'd end up with this much...

[Mumble mumble.]

...uppose I can always wrap some of it up and give it to the Welcome Center, and just keep some of it for ourselves, and--oh, bother, this was always much easier when I could count on Sam to finish off all the...

[Mumble mumble mumble.]

...umpkin, one whole apple, half of cherry, one and half again of custard. I wonder why the custard didn't go very well? It tasted all right to me...hmm. And then there's half a turkey still, and the cranberry sauce--and I still haven't looked at the ceiling, thank you--and bowls and things of the potatoes and dressing and goodness, all the cookies, and--oh, when did this turn on?

[A pause.]

Er...well, um, since this is already on, I suppose I might as well ask, really: if anyone would like some, er, leftover baked things from Gi--from Thanksgiving, please do let me know, won't you? Because really, I'd be more than happy to oblige.


[OOC: So Rosella likes big Thanksgiving dinners. Rosella also has an unfortunate tendency to bake up a storm when she's stressed out. Put the two together and what do you get? A veritable mountain of leftovers. >> Please take some. Please.

Also, for those interested, my HMD thread is here!]

No? What are they like where you're from, then, may I ask?

voice;

[triessence.livejournal.com]

I never had one.

[Who needs somnacin when she can just stuff you full of food, really.]

Oh, good, you enjoyed everything, then? Yes, of course, I'd be happy to wrap up some more for you, and I'm so very glad you had a good time!


[OOC: Absolutely! I sort of failed at any kind of IC or OOC coordination for her dinner, but she does it every year so the show must go on with or without me. Let us handwave away!]

Oh, I see. Well, I'm sorry you missed this one, then! We don't have it where I'm from, either, but it's a tradition I started keeping track of once I came here to the City.

[ You may be on to a truly brilliant alternative... ]

I can say, without a hint of farce, that everything on that table was flawlessly crafted. It was enough to best two grown men-- and that is before taking the desserts and good company into account.


(ooc: Cool! I'm assuming Yusuf basically only got to say hello and this food is amazing how are you real?! because Rosella probably had her hands full with all the other guests? )

[boutant]

Where are you from, then?

[Yusuf, however did you know that she is a sucker for flattery. Congratulations, you are never escaping her baked goods ever again.]

Oh, well, I'm so very glad you thought so! I've had a bit of practice at it, you see--we usually have a big dinner for the holiday, and it's such fun to get everything ready for it, even if it does get a bit hectic at times.


[OOC: He may have occasionally seen the back of her head as she sprinted from kitchen to dining room laden with food approximately ten thousand times, yes. o/ And I expect she probably knows he's one of the guests Saya invited, but that's roughly it.]

It's a kingdom called Daventry. It's all right if you haven't heard of it, though; I've gotten rather used to being the odd one out that way, coming from a place no one seems to know. But it's a very lovely place, and not very much like this City, either.

voice;

[boutant]

I haven't, unfortunately. [ Interesting that no one else has heard of it, though. ]

Are gods and that sort of thing common there?

voice;

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

Well, as common as one might expect a god to be, I suppose. My father has met King Neptune before, though, and I've been acquainted with Cupid and Pan, myself. But I think we're rather the exception, and not the usual.

voice;

[boutant]

Pan is the flute-player, right?

voice;

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

Mmhmm, that's right! Though he's quite good with a lute, too, actually.

[boutant]

It sounds like you met some of the more lively ones. I've... never had the opportunity.

[deathofdelilah.livejournal.com]

And you decided to feed an entire continent, then?

[knaveswitness.livejournal.com]

Unfortunately, yes. A sad situation, really. Truly sad.

However, it would be also sad to allow things to go to waste, as you said. If you wouldn't mind ignoring his touch of flush in the presence of so beautiful a lady and had the time and inclination to allow the former gentlemen to relieve you of some baked goods, I would be most grateful.
