Who: Maverick Taylor, Imelda Rivera, Héctor Rivera, Rex Arany, Rover, Adelaide Cooke, Therion, Goro Akechi, Jolyne Cujoh, Jonathan Joestar, Tamaki Suou INHALE I THINK THAT'S EVERYONE
When: Backdated to November 28th!
Where: The Inn of Atropos.
What: Worst Fake Thanksgiving Ever.
Warnings: Excessive cursing, torture mention, will add more if needed.


(except, you know, less Santa hats, more turkey.)

Y'all know why you're here. Time to have the worst fake Thanksgiving possible, my dudes. Maverick wanted to have a good time and here we are to destroy it.
To get started, just make a blank toplevel (using < ! > minus the spaces in the body). You can then reply either to your own toplevel with an open prompt, or reply to someone else's toplevel with a more targeted prompt! We doing it meme style, folks, because that's what made sense in my brain when thinking about how to structure this.

(Also Ramona is of course there but I'm not super confident in my Ramona, so I can bring her out or you can spare me.)

[deuteranope]

He is nice, yeah.

[Mostly. Nice enough that he hadn't been concerned, after tipping Héctor off that Akechi would be there. And...

Ah. If that's the only thing the double take was for, Maverick would be way too blessed, really...]

They're, uh. [wonderfully unique and independent, also hot as hell, but even if that's all true, he shouldn't be overly affectionate right now.] Fucking new to holidays. I talked with them about how it's not actually a dress.

[...]

Rover, by the way. It's...new.

[foolishjustice]

I know I hadn't seen them around campus until recently. I guess there are people here from...strange enough backgrounds that someone might not understand what's inappropriate dress.

I'm surprised they didn't freeze, though. I'm good with cold, and even I needed a jacket.

[deuteranope]

[Ha. Haha. Yeah. Maverick only offers a shrug, because that's their business to tell, not his. He already feels bad having told a couple of his friends when he was having a crisis over it -- not over telling Ramona, though, Ramona deserves to know any and all things because she's perfect.]

[foolishjustice]

I guess some people are willing to suffer for fashion...I guess I don't have too much room to judge, considering how long it took me to admit I needed to wear less modest clothes this Summer.

[deuteranope]

[Mav sighs dramatically, adopting an exhausted tone.]

Oh, I remember. I'm surprised you could fucking dress yourself to come here without me nagging you about what was an ass-backwards decision.

[foolishjustice]

[That gets him a light punch to the shoulder and mock indignation. So rude.]

I dressed myself before we met, you know. I just don't have a lot of experience dressing for casual gatherings.

[deuteranope]

[Another shrug! Though Maverick chuckles a bit. There, friend interaction! Friend interaction was very good, this is going well, he thinks.]

Yeah, and you looked fucking ridiculous.

[foolishjustice]

I looked fine for the audience I was trying to impress.

[He sounds huffy, but Mav might notice that he's hiding a smile behind his mug. Familiar interactions feel good, especially with the unfamiliarity of attending a holiday party.]

I dressed myself for Prom too, you know.

[deuteranope]

[He wrinkles his nose and mimes gagging. What a polished, uptight response... Gross. Prom, though... Yeah. He loses a little of the teasing air as his hands return to his pockets. Unfortunately, Akechi had looked pretty nice for prom.]

Eh. Broken clock's right twice a day.

[foolishjustice]

[He'll take that as a victory.]

I'm just better at picking out suits than casual clothes, that's all. Honestly...I'd wanted an excuse to wear one for a while, so it was exciting to actually get to go to a school dance. They don't really do those in Japan.

[deuteranope]

You're such a nerd... Most people don't pine for the fucking chance to wear goddamn suits, they avoid it as long as possible.

[foolishjustice]

I like the way they look. Besides...I might've watched a lot of Disney movies as a kid.

[Akechi, that's obvious to anyone who's seen your Flame armor.]

I liked the idea of dressing up, like for one of those fancy dances.

[deuteranope]

Woooow, no shit.

[He is Shocked. Dismayed. His mind is blown.]

Guess Daybreak may as well be a fucking castle like in those movies, huh? So we're due for a dragon attack.

[foolishjustice]

Ahah...let's hope not. The things I've read about dragons are pretty terrifying.

Besides, we seem to be more of a magnet for capricious fae.

[deuteranope]

God. Don't fucking remind me. I'm still waiting for one normal goddamn month is this place.

[foolishjustice]

I get the impression that things like those fairy rings are normal by Daybreak's standards.

[deuteranope]

Hey, I'll take fairy rings. Grew up with that shit, around Soleil, even if it was mostly centered on the school. If that's what I gotta deal with to get "normal", sign me the fuck up.

[foolishjustice]

They don't seem too 'normal' to someone from a big city, but...well, I can't say they weren't kind of fun. Even if I did hit my head when the height decrease wore off.

Things do seem to be getting crazier, though...maybe it's because we're getting close to the end of a year?

[deuteranope]

Eh. Probably some shit about how the moon's out longer. Moon's some shit about illusions or something, right? Course, could just be that we're another fucking year closer to Nightfall.

[Which is...cheery... Wow, great holiday chatter, guys.]

[foolishjustice]

I was trying not to bring that up. It didn't seem like great holiday talk.

[deuteranope]

[shrug!!!]

We could talk about smallpox blankets instead? Thanksgiving, and all, not that France even does this shit normally. Otherwise... I mean, you fucking know what's new with me, already.

[foolishjustice]

[He shoots a glance in Rover's direction, and suddenly the hot chocolate doesn't sit so well on his stomach. He swallows hard, and nods a bit hesitantly.]

They're, um...I mean, is...ugh, shit-

[Now of all times, words are suddenly very hard.]

[deuteranope]

[An Akechi that struggles and fumbles with his words is a strange sight indeed.]

Uh. Are you having a stroke?

[foolishjustice]

No, it's just...

[He rubs at his face and takes a deep breath.]

I'm...trying to ask something I'm not entirely sure I...want the answer to.

[deuteranope]

[Ah.

...]

Do you wanna, uh... We can talk somewhere else?
