( closed ) things to be thankful for

[ Cheria had been extremely busy since the morning, preparing everything they would need for their feast that night. She'd worked so hard on all of this, and it was really starting to become obvious in how tired she was ... it would be worth it, though, right?

When Cheria had heard of this holiday, she immediately knew she wanted to try and do something for it. She and her family had been through a lot in the past year or so, regardless of whether or not it was in Vatheon or in their own world, and she felt that it was only appropriate to celebrate and be thankful for everything they had.

Plus, there was always a good reason to get everybody at the dinner table, right? Cheria tried to stick to the ordinary Thanksgiving traditions she'd read about, food-wise, but she tried to incorporate something that every individual person in their little family liked into the meal as well.

There was a lot of food still in the process of being made. Cheria leaned against a nearby wall, sighing tiredly and wiping her forehead with her sleeve. It was getting there, but there was still quite a bit left to do. ]

Of course I did.

[He sets his bags on the counter, still watching his brother. What sort of mess did he get himself in to just trying to get bread? It was a rather curious situation.]
protectingwishes: (Out of breath)

[He hands the bags off to Cheria and Sophie before facing the others. Pascal had it pretty spot on.]

These were so many of them and they all wanted the bread; these were the last three loafs. Even after I fought my way out of the store they still chased me for it.

[No serious injuries through, there was just a lot of shoving and grabbing involved.]

*Pascal pauses at that.*

Some kind of machine for making bread more efficiently could help with that...
protectingwishes: (uhhh)

[personal profile] protectingwishes 2012-11-30 12:21 pm (UTC)(link)
... How would that have stopped them from chasing me?

Well if there's more bread, there's less fighting over the last loaf!

... I'm sorry to interject, but don't bread machines already exist here? I'm certain I've seen them before.
protectingwishes: (You really think so?)

[personal profile] protectingwishes 2012-12-02 02:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Really Hubert?

[Bread making machines exist??]

You're right Cheria. The strangest thing I've noticed is that there isn't any Cryas here in Vatheon.

So how does all that stuff even work?
mysterious_groper: (Light Smile)

[personal profile] mysterious_groper 2012-12-02 07:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh that one's easy. Electricity just needs to be generated some other way!

The Amarcians had a few in our research annals, but none were nearly as efficient as cryas, so no one bothered with them.

I've heard talk that in certain worlds, "fossil fuel" is the most common source of energy. Others use other forms of mana or magic.

As for what Vatheon runs on, I imagine it would be water. It seems the most logical choice, given where we are.

[Way to go, Asbel. You've got the two brains in the room going.]

[personal profile] protectingwishes 2012-12-05 07:22 pm (UTC)(link)
I get it, the water is kind of like Eleth and the Bubble is like a giant Cryas Valkines.

[He laughs a little, remembering that night.]

Yeah, you were pretty hopeless in the dark, Cheria.

That doesn't bode well.

Nope. It definitely doesn't.
malik_caesar: I knew it. (Troll)

[personal profile] malik_caesar 2012-12-09 01:06 am (UTC)(link)
I wouldn't be able to do it. But I doubt the lights are going to go out right now, we'll be fine.

What else do we have besides bread?

[Hubert just sighs at his brother, quietly wondering how the boy could still be so damned oblivious at times. It was bordering on pathetic lately...]

It sounds delicious, Cheria. Do you need any further assistance?
malik_caesar: Hmm. (Ponder)

[personal profile] malik_caesar 2012-12-14 12:38 am (UTC)(link)
[Malik nods, agreeing with Hubert. He closes his eyes imagining the feast.]

Mmmm. That does sound good.

[He opens his eyes, back from his taste-bud fantasies.]

I think this beats that Halloween holiday.
protectingwishes: (!?)

Ack didn't get any notifs for this orz

[personal profile] protectingwishes 2012-12-15 08:49 pm (UTC)(link)
R-Right! Sorry, Cheria.

[Why was she getting so upset anyway?]

That does sound tasty.

[He turned to face Malik.]

I dunno, Captain. Halloween was a holiday with all you could eat candy.

[He beams, but he didn't even eat that much.]
malik_caesar: (Default)

No worries!

[personal profile] malik_caesar 2012-12-16 12:43 am (UTC)(link)
I'll take a nice warm home-cooked meal over candy any day.

The costumes were what made Halloween awesome, if you ask me!

Did any of you dress up?

[personal profile] protectingwishes 2012-12-18 01:57 am (UTC)(link)
I did, Captain. I was Peachtaro, remember?

I wasn't able to get anything together in time. Poo.

[Asbel, you're ridiculous.]

I certainly didn't.
malik_caesar: (Default)

[personal profile] malik_caesar 2012-12-29 08:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, that's right Asbel. How could I have forgotten?

[He sidesteps Cheria's implication.]

One of the greatest heros of our time. Excellent choice.
