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.

"I'd have to make a very sad face at you if you did, and you don't want that," Bobby declared, as he let his spoonful loose at his target.

Jono watched the potato gloop fly, and then gave his head a shake, clearly bemused as he loaded up some cranberries onto his plate for good measure.

At the rate he was going, considering the fact that he didn't eat, he'd have enough ammunition to at least keep him going for a minute or three.

//No, th'last thing I want is to see you making a sad face,// Jonothon agreed, readying his own spoonful of mashed potatoes and then looking around the room for a target of his own...

Ah, perfect.

"That," Bobby said, "was beautiful," he mimed wiping a tear from his eye. "Truly inspiring."

//Now, now. No getting all soppy on me, mate. If you start blubbering, you'll be th'next one with potatoes for a hat.//

... Which would be kind of amusing, so sue him.

"Well, if you ask some people, getting all weepy is also part of a holiday tradition," Bobby had to point out. "However, I'd like to avoid vegetable haberdashery, so I'll try and pull myself together."

//I appreciate that,// Jonothon chuckled, shaking his head a little. //There are just some things that aren't intended to be worn in mixed company, and I'd like to think that potatoes are one of those things.//

Brightly-coloured tights were a completely different matter entirely.
