[ 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. ]

Nope. It definitely doesn't.

[malik_caesar]

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?

[dreamchasing]

Let's see ... turkey seems to be traditional for this holiday, so I have one in the oven. Other than the bread, which Asbel so kindly fought to bring us, we have ... mashed potatoes and gravy, dressing ... there will be a lot of food and plenty of leftovers.

[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]

[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.

Ack didn't get any notifs for this orz

[protectingwishes]

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.]

No worries!

[malik_caesar]

I'll take a nice warm home-cooked meal over candy any day.

Re: No worries!

[mysterious_groper]

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

[malik_caesar]

Did any of you dress up?

[dreamchasing]

I didn't. It was interesting to see everyone who did, though.

[ focusing mostly on dinner, but still listening and putting in her own two gald every so often. ]

[protectingwishes]

I did, Captain. I was Peachtaro, remember?

[mysterious_groper]

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

[dualbladewarrior]

[Asbel, you're ridiculous.]

I certainly didn't.

[dreamchasing]

Asbel, did you do that 'trick or treating' thing that some of the younger children were doing, too?

[ She may have just called you a child in a roundabout way, Asbel. She loves you, really. ]

[malik_caesar]

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.
