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?

Xander did know a bit about how Z had grown up. It'd just been a long time since Bridge had told him -- like a before he went home long time -- so he hadn't thought before he spoke.

"I'm not sure I'd wish my family on anybody, but uh, yeah. Way to forget some people are lucky to have a house. Sorry."

"And once again I manage to bring down the holiday mood," Z sighed. "It's a gift, I'm afraid."

[needsaparrot]

"Naaah." Xander waved a hand. "Nobody can be depressed in the same room as candied yams!" He pointed to the table, where you'd have to take his word for the fact that there were yams under that layer of marshmallow fluff.

[multiplez]

"Where are yams?" Z said teasingly, peering at the fluff. "I see no yams!"

[needsaparrot]

"They're hiding!" Xander insisted.

[multiplez]

"Oh, they're sneaky yams," Z realized. "I approve."

[needsaparrot]

"Well, you'd hide under the fluff too, if you knew it was Annual Yam Eating Day."

[multiplez]

"The yams are clever like that. Good thing we're going to eat them."

[needsaparrot]

"Who knows what they could get up to if we left supergenius yams lose on the island."

[multiplez]

"Stick around me and Bridge long enough," Z said, "and you just might find out."

[needsaparrot]

"I guess I will, then, since I intend to stick around Bridge for a long time," Xander said. Then added, "...In which case I apologize in advance for all the vampire invasions, body parts in boxes, spelled candy and brain-sucking demons you're likely to meet hanging around me."
