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.

"No," she said quietly, "but I enjoy it, I think. You?"

"Well, I... I don't know," Elphaba said. "Harvest festivals are one thing, but... how many animals had to die for the feast?"

Yes, Elphaba. Getting into animal rights with a stranger was a great idea.

Hinata looked politely confused. "Are you vegetarian then?" she asked diplomatically. It was a better question than '...what's wrong with the meat' or '...many, and?' both of which were thought of before being dismissed.

"I believe the term is vegan, actually," Elphaba said. "It's... well, partially experience from my own world, and some other things. Animals can speak, where I come from. Not all of them, but more than a few."

"I do think," she said carefully, "that the exact term depends on how--determined you are to avoid all animal products."

A pause.

"I suppose that makes sense," Hinata said carefully. "Though if not all speak..."

Elphaba nodded. "That's what I meant, actually. That I don't even have milk or eggs, not at least while I'm here."

She paused. "I do not think I should have brought this up. I do not wish to spoil your meal."

Hinata's lips twitched faintly. "You will not, I assure you," she replied. "I have had less pleasing conversation over a dinner before."

"It will only get worse," Elphaba said. "Perhaps something else would be better to talk about?"

Re: Dinner [Thanksgiving 2010]

That was... an interesting way of putting it, yes.

"Perhaps," she said lightly. "Have you been here long, then?"

"This is my first term, here," Elphaba said. "So all this all... new to me, I suppose is the best term."
