WHO: Bakura, Alastair, Kiryu, Hiruma, Trowa, Quatre and Matsuka
WHERE: The MANCAVE
WHEN: Thanksgiving at 6
WARNINGS: Hiruma. Drunkenness. Shenanigans.
SUMMARY: Thanksgiving dinner at Hell Towers!
FORMAT: Let's say.. QUICK for a change



[[It's a heck of a feast, as one would expect with Bakura doing the cooking. And as requested, not exactly traditional either. There's a grilled monkfish, a rare cooked steak, dish of roasted squash and root vegetables, kabocha amani, sushi hand rolls, yaki udon with kabocha purin for desert. There's also a few bottles of sweet wine for those who drink and a nice fancy grape juice in similar bottles for those who don't.

Also on the table, thanks to Trowa, are mansaf and Venison + bacon goulash

It's a hell of a spread.]]

[[The sounds and smells of cooking were always a big hint.

He gives Matsuka a big smile]] Did you want to set the table?

[loveyourenemy.livejournal.com]

Okay. [Then he pauses.] Although you might need to tell me what goes where.

[shiromadoushi]

Sure! Just let me... [[finishes up the roll he's working on before washing his hands]]

Here, take half the stack, [[smiles, carefully picking up the upper part with the bowls and small dishes.]] We'll do it together!

[loveyourenemy.livejournal.com]

[Matsuka smiles back, a bit relieved.] All right.

[Following Bakura's example, he picks up his half of the stack, concentrating very carefully on keeping it steady. It'd be bad if he dropped something...]

[shiromadoushi]

Set down one of the large ones here... [[nods towards the table.]] Then the silverware will go on either side, with the chopsticks and the rests in front of the plate.

[Matsuka nodded slowly, following Bakura's instructions.]

This will be... I suppose I must have done this kind of thing as a child, but I really don't remember, so...

[shiromadoushi]

[[sets down the small plate next to the larger one before setting a small sauce dish next to it]] The dinner, you mean? Not used to holidays like this?

[loveyourenemy.livejournal.com]

Right. [He nods, and then smiles a little.] It's really surprised me how many holidays you have here. It's not like that where I'm from.

[shiromadoushi]

A lot fewer there? Aaa, that's a shame! Holidays are nice!

[loveyourenemy.livejournal.com]

[Matsuka carefully sets out another plate.]

This is the first one here that I'm really getting to celebrate.

[shiromadoushi]

Really? Aa, I'm really glad you came, then! And you'll come for Christmas and New Years too, right? Those are the really big ones, after all!

[loveyourenemy.livejournal.com]

I'd like to.

[shiromadoushi]

[[glee!]] Christmas will be here, maybe with Yukina-chan and her friends too, but for New Years, I'm planning on taking everyone to Japan for hatsumoude! [[pause before translating]] that's the first visit to the shine of the new year!
