Cafeteria | Afternoon | Thursday | November 25

[fratboybitch.livejournal.com]

It was Thanksgiving Day. It was time for parades, football and food. Currently, Alex was leaning against one of the walls in the kitchen, watching the catering company set up for dinner. There was a shitload of food and his stomach growled just watching.

It was good to be president. He got to delegate everything.

When one of the caterers stepped forward and thrust a plastic wrapped garment bag in his hand, Alex frowned.

"What?"

"Outfits for the dinner," the caterer said. "The contract states that we make and you serve the food. No fulfillment of the contract, no food."

Confused, Alex unzipped the bag and peeked inside. The costume was not cool at all.

"Are you serious?" Alex asked, glaring. "No way!"

"No costumes," the caterer said, already signaling his workers to get ready to package the food up, "no food."

Alex continued glaring at the caterer and the costume. He hated his life.

Dinner [Thanksgiving 2010]

[fratboybitch.livejournal.com]

There is about everything you could imagine for this dinner. Please mod (within reason, of course) and eat until your heart's content. Take seconds! Take thirds!

Feel free to also talk to each other, be thankful, anything you'd like!

Like Leda was gonna pass up a feast? She wasted no time loading up a plate and looking for people to be thankful with.

This still wasn't her holiday, but that wasn't going to stop Effy from showing to take advantage. Done enough laying low the last couple of weeks to be able to appreciate people.

Now was the time to snag a plate and survey for what she wanted.

Truly, Rosalind was glad that she'd indulged her curiosity and showed up when she realized what the Student Council members were wearing.

Rosalind was quite amused at Alex's predicament.

Oh my, yes.

That she was busy with a personal project of her own didn't mean that Hinata wasn't aware of the day--or of what would be served in the cafeteria. Taking a plate of food, she found herself a seat quite happily.

The costumes made her lips twitch slightly, before she firmly told herself she was not to laugh at them as that would be rude.

Raven enjoyed taking part in the rituals of other cultures, so despite being tired and still out of sorts after the meeting with Max yesterday, she came down to the cafeteria for dinner. She skipped the turkey and gravy, of course, and helped herself to the vegetable dishes. And, ooh, tofurkey!

If he was honest, Jake would have to admit that maybe he was kind of second guessing the whole not going home thing. The pack would be celebrating together and he was sure Emily's turkey would be awesome.

Still, there was a lot of food here and the entertainment wasn't too bad either. So yes, Jake had a pile with lots and lots of turkey and snickering at Stuco wasn't so bad either.

"You can have ice cream later," Tahiri told the little orange kitten who, for the moment, was riding along in a sort of harness-pouch-thing she'd rigged up because the idea of Ben seeing all that food while he had kitten impulses was a little terrifying. "But you're kriffing well going to enjoy the rest of the menu too. And laugh at Alex with me."

Which, from her seat, from behind her well-stocked plate of food, she fully intended to do.

No one had warned Elphaba about the copious amounts of turkey.

No one.

When she saw it, she narrowed her eyes a bit, but managed to serve herself a plate of various vegetables and the like. More food than she'd normally indulge in, even.

She wouldn't speak out. But she suddenly liked this Thanksgiving a lot less.

Faramir remained uncertain as to what was being celebrated, but he would not miss out on the opportunity to take part in a tradition of this world.

He took a little bit of every dish (and somehow managed to still end up with a rather modest amount compared to some) and found himself a place to eat.

Firekeeper had a plate piled high with all sorts of food. And another plate, consisting entirely of meat that she'd picked up for Blind Seer. Once they'd maneuvered their way to a table, the pair started in to their meals with equal gusto.

Food was serious business when you were a wolf.

The way Bruce watched his diet and trained meant that every now at then he could justify the occasional giant feast. His plate wasn't packed since he knew he could get more, but he was going to eat until he was almost stuffed.

The food was a nice way not to think of the fact she was spending Thanksgiving away from her father. And wherever he was, Zatanna hoped he was having as much food as she would. She was going to eat for him just in case though.

"I'm thankful for large amounts of free food", said as she started to serve herself some turkey, among...mostly everything else.

Alex was still in his stupid costume because that damn caterer was still eyeballing him. So, he'd be eating his dinner looking like a Pilgrim. Brilliant.

At least he had a lot of food. And maybe no one would laugh at him. Alex could hope.

Percy didn't really have any other place to be so he piled up his plate and took a seat at the table. He hadn't ever really seen so much food before coming here and he'd take advantage, growing boy and all.

Ellie had nowhere else to be, so she headed to the cafeteria. She was not about to miss out on Thanksgiving, so she happily filled her plate with food and then found a seat at a table.

This was about as close to a family thanksgiving as Chuck could get. There was no way he'd be anywhere else but scouting a good seat and loading up his plate with anything and everything he could fit on there.

There was a good chance there would be seconds in his future.

Bobby could have gone home for the holiday, but it wouldn't have been Thanksgiving yet there anyway, thanks to weird timeline stuff he still didn't really get. And Thanksgiving food was not something he would willingly pass up, as evidenced by the heaping plate he prepared.

Sookie was not only back to nearly full strength, but in high spirits as she eagerly took a plate of food. Sure, she piled it high enough that she sort of felt like she was channeling Bobby or Karla, but she frankly felt she'd earned it.

Besides, this was the point of Thanksgiving -- to eat yourself into a food-induced stupor, and fall asleep in front of football. And this time, she hadn't had to cook at all, which was sort of the best part.

Re: Dinner [Thanksgiving 2010]

Please. Like Puck was going to be anywhere else. Sure, he could be watching the game, but that would still be there after the piles and piles of food -- which, really, beat the crap out of his mom's cooking.

There was just so much food, and so much of it was made up of things Katniss hadn't seen before. She tried desperately to take just a little of everything, because she wanted to taste it all, but she still felt a little sad and sure that she wouldn't be able to try everything. Her stomach simply wasn't large enough.

Jonothon had no plate, and therefore, he had nothing on it. What good would that do?

But everybody had been gearing up for this stupid American holiday that he cared nothing about, and all he'd heard about for the past week was Thanksgiving this, and holiday that, and 'what are you thankful for?'

And somehow... it just would have seemed weird for him to avoid the entire bloody ordeal, with all of that in mind. So he'd taken a seat at an empty table, far on the other side of the room from the food, and he watched everyone else enjoying themselves. There was no harm in being there, after all.

Tara was all about the turkey, stuffing, and drowning the whole thing and gravy. Oh: And not having to deal with her brother this year.

She was pretty pleased with the day as she dug in.

Food, food, food. Nico could deal with the kids wandering around looking like they'd stepped out of some holiday painting without mockery so long as there was food on his plate.

At least the dinner didn't involve giant balloons. What in Hades that television program had been about, he still didn't know, but if there was pie, he wasn't asking.

Okay, maybe George was a little down. It wasn't that she particularly liked Thanksgiving, but this was her first one without her family. If she were home, she'd be eyerolling at her mom, who would be trying too hard, and ignoring Reggie, who would also be eyerolling at Mom ... and instead, she was here. Eating with a bunch of strangers.

At least the food was good. That helped.
