[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!)

[ she makes a little noise that's halfway between a scoff and a laugh. She does concede though and waits until he's taken his own slice of the cake before reaching to take some more of the food. ]

I figured as much. But even if you didn't mean it, doesn't stop my lunch for bein' splattered all over the food. You get it?

[ even as she says this, she's piling her plate high with more food -- this is the most she's eaten since she got here and she's starving. ]

[coolerthansora]

[Roxas notices that, and the higher she piles it, the more likely it is she will drop something.]

Y'know, I'm sure you can always come back for seconds.

[magisperica]

[ Uh oh. There's The Look again, which she underlines by defiantly stuffing a sandwich into her mouth -- though she does at least chew and swallow it before she replies. ]

Yeah, I probably good. But chances are all the good stuff'd be gone and I'm stuffin' my face while I have a chance.

[coolerthansora]

[There's that look again, maybe he should just wander back in the other direction..]

If Rin made it, I'm pretty sure it's all good stuff...

[magisperica]

Rin, huh?

[ does this look like the kind of girl who bothers actually learning people's names ]

Which one's Rin?

[coolerthansora]

She's the black-haired girl with the tail. I saw her- over there before..

[Wherever he's looking, Rin has obviously wandered off and isn't there anymore. Oh well.]

[magisperica]

[ that finally gets her to stop eating and she looks at him with an utterly incredulous expression on her face. ]

A tail. Are you fucking serious?

[coolerthansora]

Yeah.

What's so weird about that?

[magisperica]

[ staring. kid, you're weird. ]

It's a tail. Isn't that pretty fucking self-explanatory?

[coolerthansora]

Not really? It's not like she's the only person who's ever had a tail...

[Really not seeing what is so weird here because he comes from the realm of Disney where talking ducks are 100% normal.]

[magisperica]

She's the only person I've ever seen who has a tail. That's plenty fucking weird to me.

[ ... says the teleporting magical girl with pink hair and red eyes. ]

[coolerthansora]

[Roxas might bring that up if he thought any of those qualities were unusual. Oops.]

Well, people here come from all sorts of worlds, so- you should probably get used to it.

[magisperica]

Yeah, guess I should.

[ she doesn't sound too pleased about it though. Ugh. ]

What's next? Don't tell me we've got fucking catgirls or something stupid like that.

[coolerthansora]

I don't think we have any cat people...

There's just the dragons, and Tobias is usually a bird.

[magisperica]

Dragons.

Fucking dragons.

[ STARING. ]

Are you shitting me?

[coolerthansora]

N-no...

You- haven't seen the really big one?

[magisperica]

Kid. Kid.

[ just gonna point at the utterly incredulous expression on her own face ]

Does this look like the face of a girl who's seen a fucking dragon before?

[coolerthansora]

...I guess not.

He seems nice though! I see him teaching classes sometimes.

[magisperica]

Teaching classes.

You have a fucking dragon for a teacher.

What the hell does he even teach? Burning Villages and Kidnapping Maidens 101?

[coolerthansora]

Well, I'm not- one of his students, but I don't think he's that kind of dragon.

[magisperica]

Well, what kind of dragon is he? S'what dragons are supposed to do, ain't it?

[ skyla, you stop being such a huge dragon racist this instant ]

[coolerthansora]

Is it? I thought some of them- helped people out and stuff.

Anyway just because some people think you're supposed to do something, doesn't mean you have to.

[magisperica]

[ Oh.

That... definitely looks as if it hit a nerve.

Skyla doesn't say anything, but the way her expression wavers and the obvious struggle is it to get it back to her usual mask of 'passive annoyance' telegraphs everything. ]

... right. Guess you've got a point there, kid.

[ her voice is curiously flat all of a sudden. ]

You talking from experience?

[coolerthansora]

[He notices. But he's not going to pry.]

...yeah, I guess I am.

[At least, he's tried to do his own thing instead of what other people wanted for him.]

It's hard sometimes.

[magisperica]

Yeah. It is.

[ god fucking dammit she came down here to stuff her face she didn't want to start having FEELINGS

She grunts and shoves her plate at him. ]

Here. Eat what you want, I'm not hungry.
