[Someone has been busy today. The kitchen and Distillery has been noisy and bustling, a departure from the much more quiet days when the illness was spreading through the Bastion and survival was once more on the uncertain scale of things. Somewhere around the time that the night cycle begins, when the sky is more of an orange-ish glow fading in to blue and purple, a large spread of food has been set up near the Distillery with glass lanterns hanging overhead.

Just like any other time there has been a feast be it random or planned, there is a wide selection of food on the covered, decorated tables. There's even meat this time! And yes, Aoi, your doughnuts have been transferred from your trees to a platter on the table. There's even a section for Paar, complete with massive amounts of bbq'd mammoth meat! You can thank Colin for that.

There's really no announcement for the feast, but chances are if you're outside at any point today you'll see the progress towards the set up, or smell the delicious scents wafting over the Bastion. (There might even be music playing, if Colin finds a way to provide it!)

Either way, come dusk food will be ready and mingling will be had!]

(ooc: Standard mingle log right here. Throw your threads up, poke other people's threads, and eat all the food!)

[From your worst nightmares!!!! She shoves the food in her mouth and chews loudly.]

Grab another, then. It's not like they're short on food.

[daughterofursa]

Then get your own and stop mooching off of me.

[But since her meat is now beyond recovery, Zuko will just have to do as Toph says and help herself to more. Which is very quickly going in her own mouth this time, thanks.]

[tophgirl]

I didn't mooch. I poached. I'm just trying to keep you on your toes. You've gone soft.

[daughterofursa]

I have not.

Most people around here just respect me enough not to steal the food off my plate.

[tophgirl]

If they really respected you, they'd help you keep your skills sharp.

[Speaking of... She reaches to snatch another morsel from Zuko's plate. Can you deflect her this time, her young pupil?]

[daughterofursa]

[Zuko jerks the plate away this time. And still older than you, thanks.]

I don't think defending my food was a skill anyone thought I'd need.

[tophgirl]

Because they're idiots. Believe me, you'll thank me one day when you have to defend your food from a horde of bloodthirsty cannibals.

So what are we celebrating, anyway?

[daughterofursa]

Wouldn't I be defending myself from cannibals? [Them being cannibals and all.]

...there was a sickness here recently. Everyone's all right now, and I guess Rin was finally feeling well enough to cook again.

[tophgirl]

[She's not going to give Zuko the satisfaction of acknowledging she's right. They're onto more important subjects now, anyway.]

Did you get sick?

[daughterofursa]

No. I got lucky for once.

[tophgirl]

Good. [Toph doesn't like the idea of Zuko being sick and weak and in a horrible place like that hospital, far away from her friends. She covers up this unseemly display of emotion with a mouthful of barbecue.]

So who's this Rin person?

[daughterofursa]

[Good call, Toph, Zuko might have suspected you were actually worried about her if that had gone on much longer.

Now how to describe Rin.]

She's... a friend. She has fire abilities, so I've sort of been teaching her.

[tophgirl]

A frieeeeeeeeeeeeend? [nudge nudge nudge]

[daughterofursa]

Yes, a friend. What are you saying it like that for?

[She made a friend, so what, she can do that.]

[tophgirl]

What am I saying it like? [The perfect picture of innocence. Tease Zuko about girls? She would never!]

[daughterofursa]

Like there's something weird about it.

[Zuko doesn't think she's being teased about girls because. well. not because she doesn't like girls but because it's Zuko and she's clueless like that.]

[tophgirl]

Why would I say it like that? [Butter wouldn't melt in her mouth.]

[daughterofursa]

That's what I was asking you.

[tophgirl]

I think you're just being paranoid.

[daughterofursa]

[Is she being paranoid?]

You're the one who wants to keep me on my toes.

[tophgirl]

[Ignoring]

So tell me more about this girlfriend of yours.

[daughterofursa]

[Oh, no, that paranoia was completely justified.]

She is not my girlfriend!!

[Wait, that... kind of makes it sound like she could have one, though.]

You're being ridiculous.

[tophgirl]

What? She's a girl and your friend. Girl friend.

[daughterofursa]

Well, when you say it like that...

[tophgirl]

You mean like it is?
