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.)

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?

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.

[carmesi]

That is likely very true.

I'm sure Ren is spry enough to handle carrying all the bags,[she jests!!] but I wouldn't mind the extra company.

When are you free? Or does it not matter when it happens?

[musicdied]

Thursday afternoon? That way nothing will have a chance to spoil, but there will still be time to prepare.

[carmesi]

Sounds great.

I'll give you a call.

@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.

[forethinking]

Vegetarian options is a wonderful idea.

It's not my strongest suit, but I'm happy to learn.

[musicdied]

Do you have a specialty?

[The question's pure curiosity on her part.]

[forethinking]

Japanese curry. You can come get some if you'd like at Bonnie's.

[musicdied]

Hasn't anyone warned you not to feed strays, or they will never go away?

[forethinking]

I don't mind it. The more, the merrier.

[carmesi]

I've got a few ideas. Have you heard of varenyky dumplings? I've got some ideas for potatoes and pumpkins, and I'll be making ovcharska, too, without the meat.

Is there anything specific you'd like to eat?

[sokovia may have been different, but the influence in cuisine is likely similar.]

[musicdied]

I have! It's been a long time since I've had them, though.

[carmesi]

Same for me.

I'll make sure to make extra so that we have plenty.
