[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. ]

[...god bless you, liz, and godspeed everyone at this table, because- ]

They certainly do seem to be. It's charming, if you ask me.

[Surely y'all assholes are not going to dash the cute girl's dreams, are you?]

[feistytrader]

[You know, he was about to say something to Elda, but-]

They get along great, aren't they? They look like picture perfect neighbors.

[Why dash Liz's hopes and dreams when he can take the opportunity to be a jackass in the complete opposite direction?]

[matchbreaker]

[ . . . .

. . .

Jaeger are we actually going to put up with this? ]

[scythegun]

Picture perfect? I wouldn't go that far...

[He doesn't really want to make a scene but also: no. His dumb rivalry with Elda is hilarious and fun??]

[elevelvetor]

Well, it may be a bit far, but I feel that exaggeration is important when it comes to relationships. After all, if you say something enough, it'll eventually become true... and "picture perfect neighbors" sounds like a wonderful thing to shoot for.

[ ...liz no... ]

[manufactured]

[ohhhhhhh my god

you know, there isn't really even anything to say to that, there is just so much smirking like a douchebag and kind of...shaking his head lightly like he's trying to refrain from any other physical tells because this is sort of delightful? this is- ]

She may have a point.

[feistytrader]

Yeah, you two. Take it from Liz.

[Don't laugh. Don't laugh. Don't laugh-]

[matchbreaker]

[ Okay that tears it, she has been sort of playing with her knife to calm her nerves but then super strength causes her to bend it like she's an esper bending a spoon, ]

Who'd get along that well with this guy?!

[scythegun]

[And at almost the exact same time:]

Who could get along well with someone like her!?

[...He doesn't actually seem mad though.]

[elevelvetor]

[ ...she's clapping, i'm so sorry. ]

A true mark of closeness! Synchronized speech! My, you two must be the best of friends.

[feistytrader]

[...This is... How does he put it, oh right?]

Are you two eternal rivals?

[Yes. Just like that.]

[matchbreaker]

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. ]

[elevelvetor]

[ #silverhairlife #silvergangrepresent #youwishyoulookedthisgood ]

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

[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. ]
