[forethinking]

Who: Wanda & Ren
Username: @ max & @ ren
Warnings: None!


(The video starts, and two faces come into view. Those who live in the flophouse may recognize them as the two who spend most of their time in the kitchen together, talking and sharing culinary tips as they cook the night away and offer their dishes to those who live within the same walls, and occasionally the ADI-living comrade that comes to pay a visit.

Sitting side by side, they're smiling as if they were two old friends, and Ren guides the talk.)

Hey, this is Ren and Wanda. We'd like to invite everyone to have a barbecue outdoors with us next weekend, the 11th.

(Wanda takes over next:)

We can handle the cooking and everything ourselves, but some help would be appreciated. Ingredients, perhaps? (She looks over at Ren for confirmation on this.) Or if you want to bring something extra to share.

(It’s a nice way to bid farewell to the summer weather and the increasingly colder temperature settling in Gloucester afterall, right?

Wanda points at the camera. She’s all out of inspirational speeches about coming together and whatever.)

Is this live or just a video?

(Ren waves his hand, amused, and chuckles before he can reply as he fixes his glasses to his face.)

It's a video. I'll edit later.

(Never does it.)

Anyways, we hope to see you there.

(And the video ends with smiling, excited faces.)

Sounds fun. Can supply drinks if you want. [She won't even charge them.]

[forethinking]

Oh, that would be great!

Non-alcoholic too?

[aelwyn_aberration]

Naturally. It'd be a bit of an incomplete offer if I only provided for half the crowd.

un: cupkate

[bossyboiler]

What about dessert? I can bring cupcakes.

un: max

[carmesi]

We didn't even think of that. Cupcakes sound great.
Autumn-themed?

un: cupkate

[bossyboiler]

I can do an Autumn theme like carrot cake cupcakes.

[ Sans raisins though, people who use those in baking are WRONG! ]

Or did you have something else in mind?

[forethinking]

Like Wanda said, we absolutely did not consider this.

Cupcakes would be nice.

[bossyboiler]

Then it's settled. That's what I'll bring. About how many people are you expecting?

un: max

[carmesi]

"I'll edit later."

[can you hear the exasperation in her voice??]

[forethinking]

(Insert a picture of him doing a heart with his hands.)

Oops?

[carmesi]

Does that usually work?

[the heart hands, she means. genuinely curious.]

un: jelica

[musicdied]

Do you want people to chip in some money for ingredients, or are you going to put a list up of what you need, and have people sign up to bring things?

un: max

[carmesi]

I suppose we could do either option. What would be easiest for you?

[musicdied]

Giving money would probably be easier for everyone, so that you don't have fifteen people all wanting to buy hot dog buns and nothing else.

But I can help on the shopping trip, if you need an extra person to carry things.

@ren

[forethinking]

I can work on that and mass text. Do you have suggestions?

[musicdied]

Not really. I haven't been to many barbecues. At least not that weren't fund-raising things.

But maybe make sure to have vegetarian things? The circus might make meat less appealing for a while.

un: looselystrung

[henchgal]

Given what time of year it is, I'll bring some apples and honey, maybe some honeycake if I find the energy to bake.

[forethinking]

That would be wonderful. Maybe something with pumpkin would also be fitting.

[carmesi]

I haven't had honeycake in a while.

[she had even forgotten about it, until now, like a far-off memory of her childhood.]

un: a.jaeger

[bloodalwaystells]

This sounds like a wonderful idea. Especially with so many new people coming in recently.

I'd be happy to either chip in some money, or bring some steaks or something else useful to the cause.

un. ren

[forethinking]

Exactly my thoughts.

Steaks would be nice.

I don't recognize your username. Are you new?

[carmesi]

Andrew.

[she recognizes the name 'jaeger'.]

Ren's the one in charge of the meat, if you want to discuss steaks with him. Whatever proves easiest for you, though.

un: strange, voice

[sorser]

So I have a feeling I’ll be under obligation to help.

[Hi Wanda………he’s calling it now]

voice!

[carmesi]

I wouldn't call it 'obligation', but everyone in the Flophouse has been very helpful in sharing responsibilities, Doctor Strange.

[:)]

[forethinking]

How so? Do you two know each other?

(Only reason he can see for him to think he's obligated to do anything.)
