(log) It's Thanksgiving Time!

[forethinking]

Who: Ren and You
When: Thanksgiving Day
Where: ADI's cafeteria
Summary: A little thanksgiving party for everyone.
Warnings: Alcohol, but other than that, none!



(It's finally the day! Ren's spent the day in the canteen, from the early hours of the morning with the help of Kate, until just close enough to the arranged time.

Several tables in the cafeteria are taken by the food, but there's still plenty of room to sit and spend time with your fellow ADI employees. After the previous month everyone has had, it feels much needed. Available is the following menu:

Deep-fried Turkey + Stuffing;
Ranch-Seasoned Roast Turkey + Stuffing;
Mashed Potatoes + Gravy;
Green Bean Casserole;
Cranberry Sauce;
Pasta alla Norma;
Sicilian Rice Balls;
S'mores Cupcakes
Pumpkin Pie;
Apple Pie;
Sweet Baked Potato;
Pecan Pie;
Roasted Vegetables;
Stuffed Mushrooms;
Squash Soup;
Garlicky Green Beans with Crispy Onions;
A selection of alcohol;

Ren's tried his best to recreate what the Internet and other folks have told him, and without him tasting the original flavors, some of the dishes might have an unexpected twist of spice. Kate has also helped with putting things together, and at the previously arranged time, Ren opens the doors with a smile from ear-to-ear.

Once everyone's settled, he'll ask for a moment to, gasp, speak:)

I'd like to thank everyone for coming today. I know it's been tough, but I'm still thankful we can spend good moments like these together. I hope you enjoy the food.

(And just like so, he'll bow, and hand plates to those ready to eat. Time to dig in!)

Every month he says?

Shuten's smile grows wider, heartened by the information and looking even more amused when he asked her why.

"Why?"

She points to herself, cheekily grinning.

"I'm an oni, that's why. Not that it would mean much to you, but my species loved to cause a ruckus back in the day. And quite frankly, I've been a little bored since I've arrived here. You speak of death and monsters and well..."

The oni shrugs and finishes off her bottle of hard cider, letting out a satisfied sigh.

"I've got more than enough experience than that. If what you say is true, it sounds like I won't have to wait too long to see what flavor of terror this mysterious world is able to create."

He has absolutely no idea what an oni is. What little folklore and myth he knew before HYDRA is pretty much gone. So he looks vaguely baffled, but he warns, "You can't use your powers, if you have them. It feeds the fear-entities that will end the world."

"So I've been told," replies Shuten with a detached drawl.

"Ah, but what's life without a little risk?"

Indeed. Shuten's probably lived her life before on the edge too much, to the point it was her downfall. There's hardly much about it that bothered her (that she'll openly talk about) because if nothing else, it was enjoyable to the very end.

"I've rambled long enough though. Thanks for chatting with me, but I shouldn't keep you from your patrolling."

[worthallthis]

"Safe," is Winter's answer, along with a little frown. He's had more risk in his life than he'd like, thank you very much. He would very much like to have a life with no risk at this point.

Not that he'll step away from it if he has to protect people, but he can wish, in the privacy of his own head.

He frowns a bit more at her. "You were surprised I wasn't socializing." And now she's suggesting he move on. Mixed signals, lady.
