[Semi-Open] A Gathering for Thanks!
WHO: Penelope, Orihime and Friends.
WHERE: Penelope's house
WHEN: 11/23
WHAT: Friendsgiving with friends.
WARNINGS: Language at most!
It's that time of the year, a time for everyone to get together and have a good time with their families, found or otherwise. Not everyone has a home to go back to, and thanks to the strange goings on around Recolle city, nobody seems to really be able to leave or call out, either. Knowing what a shame it is to not have a wonderful turkey and a potluck with your favorite people, Penelope and Orihime step in to fill the gap.
Putting together a little announcement and sending out some digital invitations card to their friends with a request to bring something to eat, along with a link to a signup sheet for food is no trouble at all. And neither is getting Pen's house in order. The only rule was that anyone that came had to bring food of some sort, even if it was just frozen veggies.
The decor is kept simple, with pumpkins and fall colors all set out, along with the finest tableclothes and silverware that Pen had inherited in use all throughout the rooms. The living room is (for once) devoid of electronics save the TV, and the kitchen is set up to recieve whatever food is available. A central dinner gathering is just not possible in the somewhat small confines of a college house, but there's plenty of smaller tables laid out for anyone and everyone that happens to stop in. Non-alcoholic drinks are prepped for everyone, as this is meant to be a happy time and Pen isn't willing to risk anyone being the drunken uncle.
The spread is absolutely fantastic, with a gigantic turkey prepared by Orihime at the center. The usual Thanksgiving fair is ready go to, with greens and stuffing, sliced ham and turkey, even a bit of venison sent by one of Pen's sponsor's. There's also macaroni and cheese, baked in the oven and oozing with delightful cheese, as well as fruit salad, cranberry sauce, gravy, rolls, and other things that friends brought. Pen herself had prepared a unique rice dish that her grandmother had taught her as a child, passed down on that side of the family for generations. The desserts are no less impressive, pumpkin pie and cake and all the sweet things you would expect.
Eat, drink, be merry with your friends. Have a good time and don't start any fights. The meal is a buffet, so just serve yourself and mingle away. As the night grows later, Pen will bring out board games and set up movies for anyone that feels like staying.
The gathering is meant to go till everyone either passes out or heads home, so mingle away and have a good time. And above all, be thankful. For friends, for food, for a safe place, for memories regained or new talents uncovered.
[OOC: This is a mingle log for any character that has positive CR with Penelope or Orihime. +1s are welcome provided they do not have antagonistic CR with either host. Feel free to make top levels, thread jack, and generally tag around and have a good time. Please note that Pen has a strict no-alcohol policy for this get together and asks that your character respects that.]
