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.

Effy curled a little smile and raised her glass of Coke in return. "Back at you."

"Hear it's something to do with pilgrims and them getting the fuck out of my homeland." It amused her a little that she was here celebrating this.

"Well I know the theory behind it." Leda said. "But mostly yes."

"We couldn't go staying away from free food, right?" Effy noted. "Wouldn't be very... embracing, of local customs." She cared so much about fitting in. Really.

"Might skip on the thankful declarations, though." Really not into that cheesy crap.

"Exactly." she nodded. She also thought she'd skip the declarations. Such things for an Elf were usually kept within intimate circles. Even one as open as Leda. "It'd be hard to keep from being smart-assed about the thankfuls."

"I'm thankful I'm getting free turkey?" Effy guessed. That was about the most you'd get out of her.

"That works for me." Leda nodded. Actually she'd been thinking more cynical than that. Something about the colonials and the Native Americans. "But, don't forget the stuffing. And the potatoes."

"And cranberry sauce," she added, poking at her food with her fork. "Actually like that part the best." Turkey without it was just plain boring.

"Got anything like this back home?" she wondered. At least she had Christmas to base this whole deal on. Wasn't that much difference there as far as she could tell.

"There's harvest festivals. Which is funny since there aren't a lot of farms."

Re: Dinner [Thanksgiving 2010]

"Weird," Effy agreed. "Sure if I lived in the country there might be harvest stuff goes on back home," she allowed. "But my family sure didn't bother with it."

Effy was kind of thankful for that, actually.

"I suppose there's gardens. And enough people in the city who came from rural areas."

"We just save it all for Christmas." England didn't have quite the variety of Holidays this time of year. "Why torment your family by forcing them to make nice more than once a year?"

Re: Dinner [Thanksgiving 2010]

"My family?" Leda smirked. All her blood relatives were gone and she was pretty much divorced from her foster parents. All she had now were informally adopted brothers and sisters. Which was really rather nice. "There's all sorts of reasons to torment them."
