♬ Happy Birthday Song - Andrew Bird

WHO || Thomas, Jack, Gar, Kat, Dumage, Mark, Myri, Buffy, Finnick, Spike, Rafael, Des, Elena [Closed]
WHAT || Various downtime shenanigans
WHERE || Various locations, New Orleans
WHEN || Sunday Nov 18th, night through Mon, November 26th, 2012 [Backdated]
HOW || Actionspam, don't sweat tag order! Feel free to threadjack everywhere too :)

[ The last mission was something of a mixed bag: while Thomas' team successfully infiltrated the underground levels, discovering the truth about Chad & company's diabolical experiments grafting human DNA into Shadowkind in an attempt to make their human mind control technology work on Shadow, the team searching for the relics ran afoul of Iscariot agent, Alexander Anderson. The deadly regenerator was there to kill Rafael, but Jack held him off long enough for the others to escape. Meanwhile, Finnick and Myri learned some interesting information about the state of affairs at NOVA Records...

This log covers any work and non-work related shenanigans the Knights have while staying in New Orleans, immediately following the last log and extending over the next week. This will be the Knight's last week in New Orleans before they return to the castle for the holidays / do some other filler things so we can catch up to the rest of the world chronologically. (except for characters who have IC reasons not to).

Make your own threads, don't fuss about tag order, feel free to threadjack multiple people into one thread for hang-outs, ask me if you want a certain scene with an NPC, etc. forever whatever. There will be a few group scenes, which I'll alert everyone to on Plurk. They may not all be posted immediately, so keep an eye on this post for new threads as time goes by. ]

Thanksgiving! ♣ (ota.)

[shootfirst]

[ there are few sights stranger than queen of fast food kat in the kitchen, cooking up a storm. but that's what thursday brings you. at one point, she clangs a wooden spoon against a pot loudly and exclaims: ] Alright, get your lazy butts in here for some good old fashioned American holiday! [ to be honest... it smells amazing. ]

[notaroundme]

[Oh, she's been looking forward to this. Something about the idea of Thanksgiving is just normal and comforting, and she's exited to have some normal and hopefully happy fun with everyone.

And eat a lot, of course. She's grinning as she answers the call of banging pots.]

Oh my gosh this smells so good.

[shootfirst]

Just wait til you taste it. Wanna help me carry stuff into the ... [ and then her black cat, lucky, jumps up on the counter and she slams the wooden spoon down next to it, causing it to leap off ] Hey! Shoo!

[notaroundme]

[She chuckles, eyes following the cat as it runs for its life. Poor thing.]

Definitely. [She reaches forward to grab one of the serving dishes.] I'm sure everyone's starving.

[After all, they'd been smelling everything for awhile while it cooked.]

[yeeeah look at finnick ... watching the womenfolk cook.]

I'm still not completely sure what the holiday is about.

[PANEM DOESN'T HAVE THANKSGIVING. THERE IS NOTHING TO BE THANKFUL FOR THERE.]

[shootfirst]

Europeans carrying disease to the natives of America and claiming the land as their own. [ sarcastic smile as she shoves a bowl of potatoes at him ] In honor of which we yearly stuff our faces in the spirit of nationalism.

[notaroundme]

[She chuckles.]

It's been turned into a yearly excuse to spend time with family and friends and to eat and drink more than any one person should in one sitting. Try not to think about it too much and just have fun.

[shootfirst]

If you want to be all mushy, we can talk about what we're all thankful for. Like not getting killed by tentacle monsters or psycho priests.

[bigbad]

Not being of a nationality where I have to care about turkeys and pilgrims. [Spike may be a curmudgeon, but he's also sticking around. It's good food!]

[65]

I can think of several things.

[said with the tone of "but nobody gets to hear them."]

[shootfirst]

It's ok to be jealous, Spike. Just let it all out.

[notaroundme]

Seriously, it's all about the food and the company. You guys really don't need to worry about the rest.

[slay]

[ surprise, buffy was helping cook, bc she's holidayzilla even without her memories. setting down a bowl of rolls on the table, she announces; ] I, for one, am thankful we could find a ricer on short notice.

[shootfirst]

And that nothing started on fire.

[bigbad]

Still not clear on what a ricer is or how you'd start a fire with it. [Yeah, Spike wasn't even pretending to be helpful. He's just here for food and snark.]

[notaroundme]

[Wtf is a ricer? o.O]

And that right there is why I am not trying to cook.

[She can barely do chili right.]

I'll stick with eating and clean-up crew, thanks.

[shootfirst]

Someone go fetch those other limey Brits.

[slay]

[ buffy will explain while ... someone does that. ]

It's for potatoes.

[bigbad]

Not for rice? [Because that's what it sounds like.....]

[shootfirst]

That depends on how creative you can get.
