hey guys whats up

its getting cold and shit outside and thanksgiving is around the corner (for those not from the us its kind of just an excuse to gorge yourself on as much sweet potato pie as humanly possible)

(some people think it's pumpkin pie but they're dead fucking wrong and that's a fight on sight)

yeah im going to be going around the next few weeks making sure people down on their luck are least warm and fed, got clothes and food that sort of bullshit

so if you adi chumps know how to knit or just feel like hitting a thrift store just drop off warm clothing to the closest shelter or food to your local food bank

or just let me know and i'll pick it up i guess since i make trips every week. i'm living in bonnies flop house, just ask for kugrash

i'm kind of hard to miss

you need a hand with this?

woah hey!!

yeah

i mean i don't need help but other people do

unless you mean help with the help

then yeah dude!!

yeah I mean help with the help

like do you need an extra hand getting food and bringing it to people who need it

because I could use a thanksgiving distraction and helping people is probably the best way to do it

oh

hell yeah!!

not really used to things like overwhelming support and people wanting to hit the pavement with me

i don't know this city as well as I do new york and I don't know the exact numbers yet so help would be super fucking cool, lady

I get that
people seem a little more willing to help with shit here than at home
or at least my home

I'll absolutely help

That's an excellent suggestion. Is there anything else particularly needed apart from the necessities?

[ Oh hey, it's the doc! He recognizes that name! ]

there's always stuff people need its fucking ridiculous

not that people need stuff since people need stuff

you're not an idiot though you get what i'm saying

anyway

a lot of shelters and stuff have lists you can bring in for what they need but the ones that can't get somewhere warm could probably do with kits and stuff. cold weather clothing, basic hygienic bullshit, hell, a warm meal'd probably make their day. normally i steal a bunch of thanksgiving dinners and just run around to deliver them. when the major holidays roll around it's important to make sure EVERYONE's got something you know?

I'll see if something can't be organized from my department. At the very least, we can help out in putting together hygienic kits, and I know more than a few of us have some cooking skills.

[and with a certain project coming to its next stage, she'll have more free time than she knows what to do with.]

I can also help out on the physical delivery front, so simply name a time, and I'll be there.

Goddammit

you're too fucking good lady

fuck you

sorry i didn't mean that it's just that you've already helped me out already and you still wanna do even more

how are you so nice

i mean yes

goddammit i'd love your help with this shit

you're fucking perfect

and thank you

[you know, she's going to mine the compliment out of that and ignore the rest. the intention is there, after all.]

Consider it a promise, then. And if there's anything else that crops up, don't hesitate to mention it. Hopefully the sentiment of gratitude that seems to pervade the holiday will garner decent results.

dude i can help! i wanna help. can i help?

fuck yeah you can help

wanna run around like an idiot with me on thanksgiving

hell yeah i do! fuck yeah!

[ Apparently, ever since being mistaken for homeless, and belittled, and discarded like trash by a malignant narcissist-slash-violent sociopath (even if it was aaaalll a dream), Jeff's started to feel some... solidarity with the homeless. ]

wait we dont have to cook do we?

what

no

i mean if you can great

but we can get our hands on some shit

no no i cant cook at all. but i AM good at getting my hands on shit so thats perfect

neither can i

hey how about we meet in an dark alley and talk about it?

sounds good man

[ All the best ideas happen in dark alleys! ]

I'd like to help.

hell yeah kid!

money's always good if you don't have time to get warm clothes or canned food together or whatever, but if you don't trust me with htat sorta i can give you a list of shit

or you can just help me out like physically I'm not picky

fucking massholes are still people so i guess i just gotta keep it up for these guys too its not their fault they're in this shitty fucking state, you know?

[ “got clothes and food that sort of bullshit”
-- this is heartwarming. ]

That’s great of you to call attention to those less fortunate.
I’ll drop off some canned goods to the food bank later this week.

[ BUT HEY speaking of those down on their luck… ]

So you’re at Bonnie’s? That’s good! Does that mean you’re out of the sewer?

[ basically: is the smell gone. ]

oh hey bud

It's fucking stupid they're there in the first place, piece of shit rich guys refusing to help

but hey thanks! normally i kind of just do this sort of bullshit on my own

kinda cool people are offering to help me out

i've been at bonnies for a while

just in generally i live in the subways and sewers

more my kind of people

ive got my beefy boys and my babies

or i did have them since i'm not in new york

i mean i do have access to them its just not the same

why?

[ squint. does he want to ask?

-- yes. ]

Your beefy boys and your babies?
And no reason.
I just remember you having a tough time keeping your cape clean. I’m glad you have running water now.

you have sewer alligators where you're from?

hey thanks

honestly i just figured i don't really need to be clean since

you know

im a fucking rat

[ Though if he's hanging around other people.... ]

[ hanging around other people and touching all the canteen pastries…
yes, please review the proper hand washing technique.

as for the sewer alligators: ]

I’m originally from Florida.

[ 'nuff said. ]

Are you helping the locals, Kugrash? Is the building insulation and heating at Bonnie's okay too, speaking of the cooling weather?

yeah i sort of do this a lot at home so i kinda figured i'd be a piece of shit if i just stopped

i mean i am a piece of shit but that's besides the point

I think bonnies is fine at least its okay for a rat and i haven't heard anyone complaining

i've heard a lot of complaining at bonnies but not about it

i've also bitched my fair share cause this place is terrible i mean we're in massachusets for fucks sake but honestly bonnies is a huge upgrade from home, it rules

Please don't say that, not even as a joke. A defeatist sense of humor is no good, it's a dangerous slippery slope to put yourself on. That said, this initiative is very nice of you, and the very proof that you're plenty good! But did you check with our superiors if it's okay to do so? For us to get too involved with the locals would be bad for them, but maybe there's some sort of loophole we can use, like anonymous donations? Well, as long as you're doing OK. You have to help yourself before you can help others, after all. Do you wear scarves and tuques, by the way?

I'd be happy to donate. There was a sale on sweaters; I'll go pick some up. Do you need shaving supplies and toothbrushes and stuff too?

Hell yeah! Anything you can.

You're a pal for helpin' out

I’ll bring it by Bonnie’s. Why are you hard to miss?

the us had a holiday just for eating?
not that im complaining that sounds freaking awesome
but why???

honestly pal i don't even know

something about giving thanks or some harvest shit. its probably got fucked up connotations if you look into it

it's always just been an excuse to eat too much fall food and visitng family and shit when i was growing up

where are you from you don't have thanksgiving??

the US but it's not really the US anymore
apocalypse, geopolitical fracturing and chaos
i dont think people are in the mood for holidays much anymore

I'm personally offended you didn't ask me for help first.

screw you pal

you help me all the time

maybe you deserve a break

Maybe I don’t want a break. One can’t just assume a person’s feelings, Kug. One must communicate.

one sounds like a dipshit

Edited 2021-11-27 01:15 (UTC)

Of course I could still use your help

Of course you can. I'm amazing.

This is really sweet :) I think Ren mentioned this holiday, but it's really nice to see people giving back. Even if this isn't your world, we can still help here.

[is he getting emotional about this? maybe a little.]

sweet potato pie sounds pretty delicious. and it has gotten colder.
i could make a few of those if i find the recipe.

hey i knit
and at bonnies

whats sweet patoto

[Also really hard to miss, even in disguise.]
