[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. ]

Don't tell me you've been avoiding my shop just because of that!

[there are plenty of reasons to avoid his shop.]

[matchbreaker]

There are many reasons to not go in that shop, not the least of which is I've no need to by a pickled alien.

[scythegun]

Did someone actually try to sell you a pickled alien?

[IF SO, THEY DESERVE A RAISE that he will probably not give them, shhh]

[matchbreaker]

-That was an example.

[scythegun]

You never know what you'll find in Leviathan's Claw!

[have you ever heard a name butchered so badly????]

[matchbreaker]

[ . . . . . . . . . . . . . ]

Well, I'm working at a nice designer clothes place now. Part-time.

[scythegun]

Are you? My, that sounds interesting! How are you enjoying it so far?

[matchbreaker]

Yes! I'm very grateful to Mr. Mastsuoka for allowing me to be on the floor as a part-timer. I was just looking for something to fill time, honestly, and I had met the man before. He was looking for a full-timer, but he generously allowed me more flexible hours.

[scythegun]

How kind! It's important to have a boss who can be at least a little bit flexible with your work hours!

[matchbreaker]

Mmmhm! I didn't expect it, really... and it is strange to be older than him, but like I said, I just wanted to experience something different for a while. It's about the same reason I'm competing in that Ninja Warrior thing tomorrow.

[scythegun]

That sounds like it'll be fun too! I look forward to seeing how well you do!

[matchbreaker]

It's definitely less... methodical, I suppose, then being a phlebotomist.

[feistytrader]

Did you get tired of jabbing people in the arm?

[matchbreaker]

The... [ She glances at Toushiro, and then she nods to herself. Let's just be honest ] the hours didn't really agree with my needs at this point.

[elevelvetor]

Do you actually have one?

[feistytrader]

We sure do. Interested?

[He wants that raise-]

[scythegun]

[THIS IS WHY YOU'RE HIS FAVORITE]

[elevelvetor]

Not at all.

[ sorry. ]

[feistytrader]

Of course, of course. The great Queen Elizabeth has far more refined tastes than that.

[Is this hamming it up? Is this flirting? Who the fuck knows-]

What can I help you find at our fine establishment, Your Majesty?

[elevelvetor]

[ Oh, stop it, you'll make her laugh and she's supposed to be enjoying this wonderful dinner Elda made!! ]

Perhaps something inconspicuous?

[feistytrader]

[Something inconspicuous... Silver goes quiet and listens in to everyone else, but slowly reaches for Elizabeth's hand under the table, at least for a moment. That's inconspicuous. That's totally inconspicuous. He did it, he cracked the code-]

[elevelvetor]

[ ....oh.

it might be bad, but she sometimes forgets there's anything different between them until things like this happen. she squeezes it briefly and leans closer to whisper in his ear. ]

Very smooth, but I meant an item.
