[ When all is said and done, the place really does clean up pretty nicely. No visible cluttery mess aside from that half-assembled Christmas tree in the corner of the living room, and there’s appropriate mood music on in the background. Make yourself at home and grab some food before it’s gone. ]

[Cass smiles, and walks over to greet Maggie.]

Hi. Glad you came.

[She eyes the tin curiously, and then motions toward the kitchen.]

Might know... some people here.

[holds up the tin, and follows her toward the kitchen] I made pumpkin cupcakes. [opens the tin. They're iced white with little orange icing pumpkins drawn on them]

Who is here? Anyone from the Birds?

[Cass licks her lips as she looks inside the tin. She goes to reach for one, apparently not caring about ruining her appetite.]

Barbara might be. Later.

[eh, what's ceremony between friends? Maggie holds out the tin so Cass can take one--but does close the lid after that]

She's back? [that's the first she heard]

[Grabby hands are made, and then one of the cakes is taken. She takes a big bite, and smiles in approval.]

[With a mouth full of cupcake:] Yes.

[origamiguardian.livejournal.com]

[smiles, glad she likes them]

That's great. [pause] She probably still doesn't remember me though.

[batghoul.livejournal.com]

[She finally gulps down the cupcake and wipes her mouth on her sleeve.]

Yeah. Sorry.

[origamiguardian.livejournal.com]

It's okay. [smile] I'm not very memorable anyway.

So what are people supposed to do on Thanksgiving?

[batghoul.livejournal.com]

[She shakes her head stubbornly.] Not true.

Um... eat, I think.

[origamiguardian.livejournal.com]

I'm unusually tall, I guess. [for reasons why she thinks people might remember her]

I can manage that. How've you been?

[batghoul.livejournal.com]

[Well, that is technically true, but:] I remembered you. You're a... good friend.

Okay. It's been... crazy.

[origamiguardian.livejournal.com]

Oh. Thankyouverymuch.

You mean the parade this morning, or...?

[batghoul.livejournal.com]

[She shook her head a bit.]

Just... everything.

[origamiguardian.livejournal.com]

... Can I help?

[batghoul.livejournal.com]

[She shakes her head. Not that she doesn't want Maggie's help, just that there's not much she could do.]

No.

[origamiguardian.livejournal.com]

[simply nods] If that changes just let me know, alright?

[smile] Let's go see what's going on in the kitchen, okay?
