Thanksgiving - The cafeteria - Thursday early evening

[bruiser-in-pink.livejournal.com]

Molly wasn't exactly in the mood to be social, but a StuCo sponsored Thanksgiving meal had been her suggestion and she could fake happy. Too bad there hadn't been time for StuCo to organize everything. Then she'd remembered the food replicator that got used every now and then.

So, she'd headed down to the cafeteria, picked the lock on the doors and quickly found the mailbox sized device.

After a test run and the discovery that it could make place settings as well, Molly made some hasty handwavy signs and ran to put them up in the dorm stairwells and common rooms before heading back to the cafeteria to start replicating dinner.

Finally, she opened the doors and sat down to wait to see if anybody would show up.

Marco had been doing his best not to think about the previous weekend to the point that he actually won one of his video games. When he saw the signs, he realized two things: he was hungry and ... well, he was hungry. So here he was, in search for food.

"Hey, Marco," Molly greeted as he came in. "Have some food. There's plenty."

[morpherboy.livejournal.com]

"Wow. Did you cook all this?"

[bruiser-in-pink.livejournal.com]

"Nah," she said and pointed over her shoulder. "I just dragged out the food replicator."

Karal, with Altra beside him, made his way to the cafeteria, the signs and Altra's insistence having led him here.

When he saw Molly, he paused in the entrance, unsure whether to go in or not. "I will leave if you want me to," he said quietly.

Molly was quiet for a minute, trying to figure out how she felt. Ultimately she decided that being mad at him for being honest was pointless. Sad, on the other hand, would be around for a while. If he was honest about still being her friend, he would have to deal with it just as much as she would.

Her expression wasn't exactly happy, but it wasn't hostile either. "You can stay," she said quietly.

He clapsed his hands, head bowed for a moment, then gave her a small smile, part sad, part grateful. It was more than he'd hoped for. "My thanks. Is there something I can do to help?"

Altra padded forward to look up at Molly for a moment, then butted his head against her shins, purring loudly.

Molly gave Altra a small grin and reached down to pet him.

:Thank you.:

She glanced back up at Karal. "You can help welcome people," she told him.

Ino hadn't even been aware there was a holiday going on so after seeing the signs she wandered down to the cafeteria.

"Thanksgiving for what?" She asked curiously.

[bruiser-in-pink.livejournal.com]

Molly smiled at the girl she'd seen around the fifth floor, but had never been introduced to. "You're not from around here, are you?"

[intraspective]

"Nope," she admitted with a sheepish laugh, "I didn't even know there was something going on today." Ino smiled, "Yamanaka Ino, by the way. Don't think we've been introduced."

[bruiser-in-pink.livejournal.com]

"I'm Molly Hayes," she said, returning the smile. "You're in 504, right? That's my old room."

Jack showed up, sampling a little bit of everything he could find for Turkey Day.

The signs had greatly aided Seely's search for food. He stuck his head in the door. "Hey, Molly."

[bruiser-in-pink.livejournal.com]

"Hi, Seely," Molly said with a smile. "If you're quick, you should be able to get the second drumstick before the 'cat claims it."

[socksofcool.livejournal.com]

Seely grinned. "He may explode if he eats them both," he said. "Best if someone else got the second one."

[bruiser-in-pink.livejournal.com]

Molly laughed. "You are such a thoughtful boy."

Making his way down to the cafeteria to see if anyone else was still around, Teddy was pleasantly surprised by the spread. "Oh, please tell me there is lots of pumpkin pie."

[bruiser-in-pink.livejournal.com]

"There is as much pumpkin pie as you want," Molly said, smiling. "I found the food replicator."

[notthehulk.livejournal.com]

"You're a life saver," Teddy replied, grinning back happily.

[intraspective]

"It's Teddy, right?" Ino asked, looking over curiously. She'd only met him once, so it was best to be sure.

[notthehulk.livejournal.com]

Teddy grinned, waving with his hand not occupied by pie. "Yeah, Ino, right?"

And suddenly there was dancing Jamies.
Food, glorious food!
What wouldn't we give for
That extra bit more --
That's all that we live for
Why should we be fated to
Do nothing but brood
On food!
Magical food!
Wonderful food!
Marvellous food!
Fabulous food!

Then Jamie absorbed all his dupes and got in line for Turkey.

Turkey. Mmmmm. Om nom nom nom.

[bruiser-in-pink.livejournal.com]

"Y'know," Molly said, struck by a very amusing thought. "I could replicate more turkeys just for you if you really want to eat that much."

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

"That's awfully nice of you but you know that uncomfortable stuffed feeling you get when you eat too much? Now magnify that by a dozen after all your dupes do the same thing and then you absorb them," Jamie replied before taking another bite of turkey. "Happy Turkey day Mollster! Gobble Gobble!"
