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.

"If there is anyone who should be eating pie, it's Karla," Elphaba said, a tiny bit droll. "If you ask me, they both are fussing over you because they're just upset with themselves."

Filters, Elphaba rarely had them.

"Not their fault," Sookie said with a little shrug. "They don't have anything to be upset with themselves about. They didn't kidnap me. But I should check on Karla and make sure she's recovering, thanks for reminding me."

"She's a good friend," Elphaba said, finally finding something in the semblance of small talk. "I was hoping to see her here, but it seems so many have gone elsewhere for the holiday."

"She might be around here somewhere," Sookie hedged, not really wanting to consider that Karla had gone anywhere else, yet. That way lay trouble. "It's generally a family thing, here in America, so a lot of people here who...you know, have family and a place to go, probably wanted to be near to them. Me, I've just got the one brother, and he's elsewhere for the holiday."

Elphaba nodded. "And those of us from places completely different get to be a little confused by it all." She smiled, though. This was much easier than she'd feared. "I was just learning about Christmas the other day to suddenly have another holiday pop up."

"Oh, Lord, Christmas is probably confusing as heck to someone who didn't grow up with it," Sookie winced, giggling. "Y'all have any holidays like that at home?"

"Well, there is Lurlinemas," Elphaba said. "But I'm not sure how similar they are. Bruce seemed to think that Christmas had become... ruined over the years."

"Commercialized?" she asked. "It is mostly about the shopping and stuff, if you go by how most people view it. But it's only like that if you let it get to you."

"I'll have to do some research," Elphaba said. "If they're so subjective, it'd probably be good to find out what they're about from your history."
