[Closed] New Family Formation

[matchbreaker]

WHO: Elda Marker, Albert Wesker, Silver Bells, Elizabeth Velveteen, Jaeger, and NPC!Toushiro Hitsugaya technically
WHERE: Elda Marker's manor
WHEN: Thanksgiving!
WHAT: Family Thanksgiving!
WARNINGS: Nah probs

[ It's been wild, lately. The world has changed dramatically and try as she might, Elda Marker cannot deny that she has changed some along with it. It's probably this, as much as anything else, which saw her no longer content to have the normal small little private Thanksgiving she's tended to have with just her son.

... After all, family can grow, right?

She intended to invite Silver, knew she wanted to invite Albert, but then the significant others(?) of both of them have gotten roped in as well. She explained it all to Toushiro, who seemed confused at how Albert or Jaeger fits into anything but was privately pleased to have Silver around for this. Still...

Elda took it upon herself to make everything? Turkey, casseroles, Yorkshire Pudding, deviled eggs, cream corn. She's not sure what everyone wants but no one said that they had allergies and if she has to feed Silver's monsters a little too, then... well, this is good to have a bigger than they perhaps need amount. The whole thing takes most of the day (people are invited to show up whenever they want in the course of the day and sit around if they want) and she'll accept any help but... well, dinner itself will be the main event? Anyway, let's have a nice family. Event. ]

No?! What sort of rival just fails with hedges that much?!

[ . . . Did no one notice the knife? She. She hides it under the table oh she's sorry Toushiro she's so sorry... ]

[scythegun]

My hedges are perfectly fine, thank you! The lot line isn't as far over as you keep trying to claim!

[ohhhhhhhh my god eternal rivals?? best of friends??? why this.]

[manufactured]

[Don't worry, Elda, we just...try not to draw attention to it.]

There are worse things to be rivals over.

[matchbreaker]

[ . . . ]

You're wrong, I've called the city planner before. Or what, are you counting on Retrospec moving that around too?

[feistytrader]

[The knife thing isn't the weirdest thing in the world-]

You have the appeal of a set of friendly rivals that keep bringing up your title episode conflict, just so no one forgets that you don't get along. The internet would go wild over you two.

[scythegun]

[He waves a hand at Elda's comment and chooses to focus on Silver's instead.]

While I'm sure they would adore me, I can't say that our struggles would gather that much attention!

[feistytrader]

With a flashy new haircut like that, there's no way everyone wouldn't adore you. I'll be sure to be your first fan.

[Is he teasing a little too much? Possibly, but his expression is gentle as he says it.]

[matchbreaker]

His hair looks a little silly in this light.

[ . . . It's okay, Elda's does too. The red lighting of the house makes everyone's hair look silly other than perhaps Liz's. ]

I think it looks nice. Quite... noble. [ In its own way. ] I'm certain I've had an uncle somewhere along the line with something similar.

[scythegun]

Thank you, thank you, I'm glad you all approve~

[Except Elda, but you know what he can roll with this.]

[feistytrader]

[...Red light on red hair probably looks a little silly, but oh well.]

The no glasses look on Wesker is pretty good too. Until now, I thought those were surgically attached to your face.

[manufactured]

[At least his hair color is light...]

I do remove them from time to time, you know.

[matchbreaker]

He does. I think his eyes look nice

[feistytrader]

Yeah, they do. Did you miss the blue?

[manufactured]

...I suppose. It was agitating for a while, but nothing worth complaining about for months.

[Like, you know, half the network did.]

If anything, it's taking me some time to get used to them again.

[elevelvetor]

Well, I certainly wasn't thrilled to lose my natural eye color... Though I suppose it's not that different than before.

[ ...she went from hazel to obnoxiously gold. It's sort of really different, but not like, blue -> grey -> gold would've been. ]

I do agree that it's pointless to throw a fit about it, however. All one can simply do is persevere and choose to restore whatever color they want on that adorable little survey thing that comes around from time to time. [ c: ]

[matchbreaker]

I ended up making fruits my priority, honestly...

[ Mmm. ]

[elevelvetor]

Akechi would be pleased to hear about that, given his dislike of the dancing variety.

[ Elizabeth likes them, though...... ]

[manufactured]

[SPEAKING OF PEOPLE WHO ARE PLEASED TO HEAR ABOUT THAT - ]

Consider it greatly appreciated, Elda.

[elevelvetor]

[ FRIEND.... ]

There is nothing wrong with dancing fruits, sir. It gives them character, personality, and the ability to act in amateur films.

[ which she


yeah she absolutely made one. It was great. ]

[manufactured]

You need exactly none of those things in order to eat them. As a matter of a fact, it's preferred if those traits are absent altogether in edible things.

[feistytrader]

They're just as tasty.

[...He's helping!]

[manufactured]

They're an abomination.

[elevelvetor]

You'll hurt their feelings, saying things like that. How shameful.

[elevelvetor]

[ ...No comment on this but

Elizabeth looks as pleased as a cat that's got into some cream. That's all. You suckers fell right into her trap... that she definitely had and didn't just decide she had at this very moment. ]
