Hey guys. I hope everyone's okay, I know the last few weeks have been hard on all of us. Please let me know if there's anything I can do to help get everyone back on track.

Besides that, I've decided to attempt to lift the spirits with a Thanksgiving dinner. Please let me know if there's interest, so I know how much to cook.

Hope to see you there.

Don't tell me you're going to write up little thank-you postcards for ADI staff while you're at it. Even your foolishness must have a limit.

[forethinking]

I only have one hand.

(It'd take ages. He's only a man!!)

[simulatio]

Oh that's right, you can only write with one hand. Such a pity.

[Oh, you're not ambidextrous, Ren? Simply be better. But more importantly-]

You're making a very generous public offer. I only hope you're not overextending yourself.

I can make a few things, not just desert.

[ She'd rather talk about food then the past few weeks. ]

[forethinking]

Please, don't worry. I can handle the cooking myself.

(He would, however, accept the company.)

[bossyboiler]

But I want to. I'm good at it. Please?

[ Can't it be both? ]

Where are you thinking of hosting it?

...What the fuck is Thanksgiving?

[The concept of being in a room with everyone (especially Ren and Akechi), after everything, is mostly just... not very appealing on her end right now. But... maybe]

[forethinking]

(Here's someone he wasn't expecting to reply to him.)

An American holiday. There's food and gratitude.

[aelwyn_aberration]

Oh. Right.

Maybe. We'll see if I can make it.

[Sweats.]

[abrightboy]

Can I bring anything? Wine... [Oh, right. Ren is 18.] ....Apple juice?

[forethinking]

If you can bring wine for me to cook with, that would be great.

Soda works.

[abrightboy]

Red or white wine and which kind of soda?

@ jelica

[musicdied]

Having another party so soon seems like tempting fate.

[forethinking]

If something doesn't feel right, I'll cancel.

To me, it feels like creating unity in spite of it.

[musicdied]

You have a point there. We could definitely use more cohesion.

But if we're attacked by giant zombie turkeys, I am holding you personally responsible.

@mkblackwood

[lowficharm]

Oh, right. We're in America, so there would be those holidays here. I wasn't really thinking about them with everything going on recently.

[you know. the everything.]

[forethinking]

The supermarket tipped me on it.

I'm Ren, by the way.

[lowficharm]

Oh, that makes sense. I confess I haven't paid a lot of attention in the shops.

[has he even gone out to the grocery store? who knows.]

I'm Martin Blackwood. It's nice to meet you, Ren.

My Dear Friend,

What is Thanksgiving? I can help.

With Deepest Apologies,
Mercy

[forethinking]

Thanksgiving is an American holiday. You eat a bunch of food and talk about what you're thankful for.

I'm thankful you're alright. You don't have to apologize.

Making you breakfast first thing in the morning,
Ren

[graveyounglady]

I am thankful everyone is all right. It could have been so much worse if any of that had been outside our minds. I do not care for these tricks and sinister sleep snares.

You are much too kind, though. Thanksgiving seems a wonderful holiday. Are there any other traditions I should know about?

Deeply and Deliciously Grateful,
Mercy

[the_archivist]

What would a Thanksgiving dinner involve? I really only have knowledge of it from television and I don't think old American sitcoms are entirely accuarate.

[forethinking]

According to the internet, turkey and gravy. I'm going to message some Americans to help me filter it.

I'm not different from you.

I can't cook or anything, but if you need any help cleaning up I'm pretty good at that.

[forethinking]

I won't say no, but ideally, I'd like everyone to enjoy without concern.
