MCA0, Thursday Night

[needsaparrot]

Food was, in theory, ready. This was because Xander had, in fact, totally cheated -- the only things that hadn't come from the food synthesizer were the coffee and pie. The pie was chocolate peanut butter pie, and consisted of peanut butter, milk, pudding, and Cool Whip, but at least he'd made it himself!

You do Thanksgiving your way, and he'll do it his, mm'kay?

Willow showed up with cookies. "If I hear anyone use the word 'ricer' I'm out the door. Just so we understand our boundaries."

"The only part of this dinner that didn't appear at the push of a button is the pie," Xander told her. "Ooh, and the cookies!"

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

"Well of course there are cookies," Willow said. "I see no harm in attempting to push the scales of thankfulness."

[needsaparrot]

"I believe the object of Thanksgiving dinner is actually to destroy the scale," Xander pointed out, putting cookies on the table beside mashed potatoes, yams, turkey, That Green Bean Thing Somebody Always Makes And No One Ever Admits To Having Brought and cranberry sauce.

"Well yes," Willow said. "But thankfulness is what makes it a Thanksgiving dinner as opposed to us simply pigging out because we can. Not that those aren't fun too."

[needsaparrot]

"Hey, I'm thankful we're all still here to pig out," Xander answered.

"I'm not sure I *understand* your rice-related boundaries but I will respect them all the same," Bridge says solemnly.

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

"Most appreciated," Willow said. "Also hi!"

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Hi and Happy Thanksgiving!" Bridge replies. "Though as long as we're on the subject of boundaries if at some point in the evening there are games of a card-related nature I'd like to request that these games do not involve the word 'strip' in the title."

"I am hearing your terms and signaling my agreement to them," Willow said. "I believe they are more than fair."

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Excellent," Bridge says with a nod. "One nudity-related Thanksgiving incident was enough for me."

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

"I won't ask," Willow said.

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Then I won't have to tell you and that works out nicely for everyone doesn't it?"

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

"For which we can all be thankful," Willow said.

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Which ties in nicely with the today's theme and all," Bridge says.

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

"I was noticing that very thing myself," Willow said. "I approve of our symmetry."

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Go team us," Bridge agrees, giving Willow a thumbs up.

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

Willow returned the gesture even if her icon didn't

"Well," Bridge says. "Homemade food awaits. Inasmuch as it was made in a home."

"I don't even know what a ricer is," Z told Willow. "I think you're safe."

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

"It is something to fear in a cooking conversation," Willow said. "I am all for food which makes tummies go yay, but I do not feel that there needs to be insanity to get us there."

[multiplez]

Z hadn't really followed that--which, considering that she hung around with Bridge, was kind of impressive--so she said, "Oh. Okay."

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

"You see where I'm coming from," Willow said, actually believing that Z did.

[multiplez]

No. "Of course!" Better to go along with it.
