Warnings: TAG YOURSELF

Turkey, stuffing, 'taters smashed and whole, cranberries, good beer... the works!

Okay, maybe the beer wasn't exactly traditional.

Whatever! It tasted great. He looked over the spread he'd put out over the couple of tables he'd put side-by-side to create a traditional long table, though this was was far more varied in places when it came to height and weight. Ah well. The white tablecloth hid it well enough, and he was only short a chair. Otherwise, he was free to begin welcoming his dinnermates.

Who: Nick, Mel, Helen, and anyone else who was invited:
What: (belated) Happy Birthday!
Where: Back lawn of the main Aiolos property
When: Just after 3:00 PM
Warnings: None so far. Remember to tag yourself!

"Helen, no." Now the first and second, respectively, most often used words that Nick used nowadays. In this instance, from the toddler chewing on a tablecloth edge. She turned around with wide eyes, surprised. She'd been caught!

He had to laugh at the expression and picked her up. "You know better, {princess}. Come on, let's go find Mommy." She babbled her agreement. Right then. Off they went, into the small crowd of people who'd arrived. The party was being held outside, so everything that needed to be off the ground were on big round tables, just out of reach from children and pets. The weather was fair, the grass was soft, and in an added bonus for Nick, Hades was nowhere in sight.

Hoo-shaw.

Open Thread

Who: Adam and whoever else shows up
What: Senior Art Showing
Where: UM campus
When: *BACKDATED* (oops?) April 23, evening
Warning: None really. Yet.



This was it. The big showing. The end of the term was coming and this was the senior's supposed time to shine. To show off what they had learned and what they could do. Opening night was even meant to somewhat mimic a real gallery showing. There was a table with drinks and small amounts of food for people to sample as they peered about at the pieces. The lights had been adjusted and set up to best reflect the work, and each student had their own section. Stand alone sculptures, murals, hand drawings, mixed media... There was a variety of just about anything the students could imagine.

And, claiming on of the corners, was the work of Adam Jenkins. Most of it was paintings and drawings, with only two pieces that stood on high tables, to prove himself able to work with other materials. They were far from his favorite medium however, and his pride showed much more clearly in the other works. A large painting that few would realize was from Mt Helicon and the temple there, the faint image of a woman dancing in the field, was much like the center piece. A series of pencil sketches showed his comic and graphic novel interest, telling a short story without any words, and letting each panel stand on its own. Another showed something like a fair ground, mostly colored in shades of gray, with a Bald Eagle soaring overhead in a blue sky, the colors of nature in the trees in the distance, the raptor and the hint of the sun being vivid in colorful contrast. He had other select pieces as well, rounding out the collection, and stood only a short distance away, ready to answer questions. At some point his teacher would come to pass final judgment, but until then... Well, he could only wait.

Walkie Time!

Who: Artemis/Lucy and Open
What: Walkies!
Where: Around
When: Current
Warnings: Only what you people make them! Come play?


"Okay you guys. Sit!" Sometimes it worked, sometimes it didn't, but today at least, the two dogs were cooperating long enough for Artemis to snap their leashes on and attach one of them to each of her hands. She made sure that enough bribes (er biscuits) were jammed into her pockets before heading out.

"Good dogs!" she praised the two of them when they actually walked nicely without her having to do anything just yet. "Just keep on being good and maybe when we back, we can all have a nice cookie." She was going insane obviously. Spending too much time with animals was making her insane,that's all there was to it. Still, everything *was* going okay and she was relieved if oddly disappointment that there wasn't any action.

Until the squirrel showed up and Selkie went absolutely crazy. She tugged the leash sharply, dragging both Artemis and Bandit after it. Until Bandit started running as well, breaking his leash as he lunged at the poor squirrel, then took off after it across the street.

"Damn it!" Artemis shouted, putting on more speed than she usually dared while doing the mortal thing. "Leave it alone, Bandit! Get back here and..."

Totally too late for that. Oh Fuck...
