[Jaunt] Party Time

[awondrousplace]

Hello, everyone!

It has come to my attention that it is Thanksgiving where we currently are. Even though it is a terribly American holiday, I have always been fond of any excuse for a party.

Thus, I would like to invite everyone to a proper Victorian feast in my rooms. If you are in need of a portal, please let me know, I would be happy to pick you up as well.

There is no particular time, food will be available starting in an hour or so. Any questions, please let me know!

[OOC: Party will be in Helena's top level]

Hell yes I'll be there.

How's life at the War of the Worlds send-up going?

[awondrousplace]

Oh, good. It would not be the same without you.

It is certainly going. It is slightly better than it was, and I think I am gaining some control over it. There are thankfully no more love stories.

[claudiometer]

Well, that's good. How was a love story supposed to help anything, anyway?

[forcechanic]

I'm a little confused... how does this one differ from Christmas?

[awondrousplace]

Thanksgiving is more about eating than giving presents. It also has, I believe, less of a religious basis.

It's mostly about being thankful for one's family and friends, and what people have.

[awondrousplace]

Hell if I know, darling.

As I told someone else, just because they were called scientific romances in my time they do not have any bloody romance in them.

[claudiometer]

Yeah, well, that's people for you. If it doesn't have boning it's clearly not worth the trouble.

[forcechanic]

[To be fair, the religious basis doesn't come up much in liminal]

So they're both about family, then? Like Life Day?

[breakaleginhalf]

I am Australian? So, uh. Never been to a Thanksgiving dinner, period. 's'not really a thing here either.

[Still get Black Friday sales, though.]

[awondrousplace]

Well, in that case by all means you should come, darling. Is there anything in particular you enjoy eating? I can make sure there's some of that on the menu.

[awondrousplace]

I am not familiar with Life Day, but yes. They are both about being with one's family and being glad for what one has.

[awondrousplace]

Boning, as you say, darling, is one of my favorite activities, but it does not need to be a staple of my writing as well.

[claudiometer]

I'm very aware on both counts.

[forcechanic]

It's a Wookiee holiday.

With a lot of food. Because it's a Wookiee holiday.

[awondrousplace]

I am actually quite amused at how obsessed with sexual relations the future has become. It is rather interesting to me.

[awondrousplace]

Ah.

If I might ask, darling. What is a Wookiee?

[Someone didn't pay attention when Pete was rambling about Star Wars.]

[claudiometer]

A, like Victorian porn wasn't completely ridiculous, and B, don't ask me why people are like that.

[awondrousplace]

Oh, the stories I could tell you about victorian porn, darling. I almost wrote some under a false name, but Charles found out and forbid me. I was working on getting something up in my own right when everything went to hell.

[claudiometer]

Of course you did. [The surprise is that she let Charles stop her, really.]

I think it's less that the obsession is new and more that people have just actually talked about it in the last few decades. ...Last few decades relative to home, anyway.

[breakaleginhalf]

I am just happy with like, meat in general? Uh, ham and pork is great. If there's anything I can bring along, or whatever, lemme know and I can help out there.

[forcechanic]

They're native to Kashyyyyk. Tall, furry and really strong. Basically the best babysitter a kid could want, especially when there are sludge news reporters trying to sniff around.
