The weary world rejoices

WHO: OPEN
WHERE: The Church
WHEN: From today and onto the New Year!
WARNINGS: Kirei.....
SUMMARY: Rejoice, Cityzens! The Church is hosting an event for the holiday season: accepting donations and offering dinner for all those in need during this harsh December! Donate yourself or take part in some free food. You don't have to worship to take part, but you may get a priest breathing down your neck about that.
FORMAT: Whatever you please!


Even in this day and age, certain tired methods of communication remain. A Church flyer is a old tradition and the City has had several passed by hand, or stapled onto walls. They are all advertising open invitations not just for worship but for food on behalf of the City's generous inhabitants -- regardless of beliefs or credo. On top of that, there is a certain tagline which appeals to the City's imPorts:

Be a Hero to one less fortunate than you this holiday season.

It's a sticky, blatant piece of baiting; hamfisted and obvious. Of course, no Church has ever really excelled at subtlety. Guilt is a powerful motivator, especially this time of year. That shows in the turn out: there is quite a few natives already participating, which leads to generous spread.

The Church is welcoming all without distinction -- however, you'll only get to taste wine if you're one of the faithful.

The world isn't that selfish, but you do see a spike in charities around this time. Something about the holiday spirit that gets people to do good.

Yeah, well. It's that off Tuesday in May when people are hungry just as much as today. But I digress. [he beams, and this time really does try to focus on her face instead] It's still something. And I'm here to do my part even if I'm no hero.
boobwindow: (heroes :3)

Who said you have to be a hero to do good things?

[ She means it; "hero" can be such a loose term, realistically speaking. ]

Aww, aren't you sweet? [too much glee]

Are you sticking around for dinner, then? There should be plenty to go around if I have anything to say about it.
boobwindow: (for half a million seriously)

[ Her smile tightens for about half a second as she mulls over it. It's Christmas and she has nowhere to be. She doesn't have anybody here outside the Minutemen and she barely knows them. ]

Alright. Hard to turn down good food.
notadartboard: (glee)

[he beams happily]

Oh, and it will be good, I promise. A chef of my caliber could never disappoint a lady.
boobwindow: (eyes you seductively)

Easy there, eager beaver.

[ She motions with her hand for him to simmer down. ]

What's on the menu?

[distracting him with food talk is the best way to get him to chill a bit]

Oh, well. There are some who insisted there's a 'traditional' menu, ham, roast turkey, and random vegetables. I wasn't satisfied with that so I also added a rib roast, seafood pasta, and some less starchy vegetables for nutrition's sake. Oh, and plenty of dessert, of course.
boobwindow: (cutest hat)

[ Her eyes light up at "rib roast".

She doesn't need to eat, but who can turn down good food? ]


I can't wait.
