Dinner
Who: Open/please specify in reply title
When: Wednesday 11/13, Evening - Dinner
Type: Conversation thread
Where: Cookhouse/Please specify in reply title

It was just another day in Zion. The afternoon had been filled with shows. Well, what was often known as “Sunday School” shows, which really just meant they had to be appropriate for children as those were the regular guests. Rides and games were always more popular during the days, but shows like the ten in one gained a lot of kids wanting to gawk at the acts.

Delia and the cook staff had prepared a nice dinner, chicken pudding with corn and fresh biscuits. For those with more sensitive diets, a rare treat of cows blood acquired from Louis’ recent trip in town.

Reminder: Conversation threads are meant to be quicker threads like network conversations. Feel free to use dinner to have players catch up about things, plan for things or just gab.
All conversations should be in third person, however it is understood that actions will be limited. Anything that develops into a full fledge thread should be moved and continued in their own thread.
Please put name/time/location in the reply. Keep in mind that most public conversations could be overheard (this might be desired) and anyone could feasibly jump in in that case. Feel free to put ‘hushed’ in the reply title of the conversation isn’t obvious. If you are jumping on someone else’s convo, please do a courtesy and shoot them an DM or something to let them know (or if you want others to jump in tag with open :)).
Note: this is our first conversation thread. As much as I’d love to think it will go off without a hitch, I realistically know things can happen. After I will be open to feedback to help better the idea :)

As Kieran and Jack came to eat, he quickly sat his friend at the table and grabbed them both food before joining him again. "I'm starving. Haven't eaten since yesterday it seems." That wasn't entirely true. Kieran had been gifted candy from a small girl who beamed when he lifted her into cabin of the Eli.

“You were at breakfast.” Jack laughed. He cast Kieran a look. “So, later tonight, what do you think about going star gazing?”

Kieran rolled his eyes at his roommate regarding his comment about breakfast until the idea of star gazing came up. "Star gazing? Ya know they haven't changed in a long time." he teased.

Glancing at the others around him he looked at Kieran and gave him a bit of a look. “I think it’d be nice. Jus’ layin’ out. Seein’ th’sky above.”

Kieran smiled first with his eyes then with his mouth. "Alright, after we eat, eh?" he offered a wink in Jacks' direction though not before he looked around to make sure no one was looking. He didn't much mind who knew but he was aware of how Jack felt about it.

Jack’s smile beamed- more than intended. “After we eat.” Topic change. “I did good today, got a number a’tips. Only three works, but I slowed things down slightly and I think it was ‘more magical’ and my tips were like double normal.”

A broad smile appeared on Kieran’s face as he listened to Jack talk about his day. He’d grown solid in his skill and it seemed he continued to make good enough money to keep himself and sometimes Kieran afloat. Some days Kieran wished he had a skill like that so that he could take care of Jack. “Aye? I’m sure they were brilliant.”

Kong & Open to anyone - at the table, close to the beginning of dinner

He was far from a social butterfly, far from it actually. Raised in a small village where he had known each person for who they were, he found himself straying from that similarity here. Without an idea as to why, knowing he needed to rely on these people more as he once used to, Kong made himself join in the dinner that particular evening. Frame rigid, uncomfortable, he picked up on the smallest sounds that many without an enhancement of hearing would not be able to pick up on. Peals of laughter, utensils scraping plates, bowls, the purity of the fellowship was unmistakable.

Having only been with the group for a short time - a year seemed to stretch on faster than he’d realized it - he did his best to acclimate, find a few kindred spirits, and do his best to continue his teachings.

Standing a few steps from where others were dining, unsure as to where even to begin, he listened to any sounds and sought any scents that might be familiar or friendly. Finally, scolding himself, Kong took a step forward only managing to bump someone without realizing it. He had been so caught up in himself and the moment that his walking stick had betrayed him. “Oh!” He breathed, shaking his head, “My apologies.” Voice was soft, barely audible over the cacophony of sounds.

Jean hadn’t been much farther than Montana so the figure that she saw as she readjusted herself was exotic to say the least. Jean, however, wasn’t the quiet type. “What was that, darling?” She replied to the man who didn’t seem to be looking at her at all. Was he blind?

Sean was a few steps behind as he saw Kong and soon stopped alongside him. "Hello, he first spoke to Jean and then to the other man in a softer tone, "Greetings."

“Hi there.” She replied, looking between the two men, still in awe of this stranger from another place. “I’m Jean, new lion tamer, who might you be?”

As the voice of the woman rang into his ears over the roar of dinner, Kong’s head would lift and his frame would pivot in her direction. “I did not mean to bump into you,” he offered, voice quiet and delicate. The words struggled to make it to their destination, a Monarch fluttering in a hailstorm. He could tell by her tone, though, that she meant no outward harm.

Though it was his friend Sean’s quieter tone that settled the Wind of the East moreso than anything. The relief was evident in the set shoulders and the line of his jaw. Kong would turn in Sean’s direction, same as he had done for Jean. Warmth and color would flood into pale skin. “My friend,” he greeted.

Knowing he was of the kind whom had manners, once more his attention went toward the woman. “Jean,” Kong repeated, leaning closer to her as if to be loud enough to be heard, “It is my honor to meet you. I am Kong Liu.” A bow of ceremony would be offered to her - a slight bend at the waist and then he was back at his full height.

Sean had closed the 'door', signaling the spirits to move outside of the parameter of the carnival until the next morning. Tonight was for the living. He stayed alongside Kong and nodded gently. "It is good you are here." He spoke to the other man.

"Hello Jean, I'm Sean - spirit medium." He spoke to the woman. "Wonderful to have a new lion tamer."

She hadn't been here long, but her show had already started to gain some success here in Arizona. They didn't seem much lions out this way, at least the kind they had in the carnival so the buzz had been significant. As someone approached she looked over with a smile and then back at the food. "Don't suppose there's a stronger drink somewhere to to be had?" she asked.

Jean turned to offer her cat like smile to the man next to her. Looked like some sort of holy man but he sure didn’t sound like one. “Might you be the man I can talk to about that? I’m sure there’s something I could offer you in exchange.”

“Reverend Willis Conrad,” he replied, following her to a seat. “I do the Bally for a few shows. And run a mass on Sundays for those who need some spiritual guidance.”

Getting to join the rest of the carnival for a meal was fairly rare for Henry and the young man was clearly in a good mood as he moved through the bustling tent. Part of him was aware that drinking blood in public was probably uncouth even if it was being offered. Certainly worse than putting one's elbows on the table or using the wrong utensil. But sometimes manners simply had to be put aside and now seemed like one of those times to him.

Carrying his (thankfully opaque) cup of bovine blood, he took a seat at one of the occupied tables and flashed a plainly eager smile. He was allowed to join them, wasn't he? Of course he was. "Good evening."

Ben knew how lucky both he and Fitz were, to find a 'home' with Zion, he didn't want to think about what might have happened if they had stayed on their previous path - stealing and scheming in order to survive, would they even still be alive today? It wasn't something that he wanted to dwell on, this was their life and the fact they were able to still be together was all worth it.

He had also learned that there was quite a wide variety of extraordinaires in the world, especially those who had made a home here as well. The sights he had seen and 'people' he had met over past five years meant that nothing really shocked him any more, so when the gent with an opaque cup full of red liquid sat down at the table he just smiled. "Bonsoir." He said, putting down his knife and fork for a moment. "It is a lovely evening, yes?" His accent and sentence structure still so very French.

“I’ll be honest with you, Ben,” Henry replied easily, his smile remaining good-natured despite the bittersweet content of his answer, “After a while, they all start to look the same.” It was simply one of the monotonies that came with being undead. Like only being able to consume blood and having to put in the effort to alter his shape before leaving his wagon each night. But what else was there to do about it?

He paused, taking a careful sip from his cup before adding, “But maybe I’m not giving the stars enough credit?”

He nodded, understanding Henry's point of view, how nights just blurred into one other. In a way that was how Ben felt about winters, cold followed by cold as he waited until things started to warm up again and even though winter still wasn't officially here it was getting cold enough for him and extra layers of clothing were already required.

"The stars are beautiful, we often find ourselves caught up with the trivial items in life that we forget the beauty around us." He took a sip from his own cup, enjoying the hot tea that was served with their meal, then again hot foods and beverages were always his favorites.

The stars weren't visible from within the tent, but Henry tilted his head back thoughtfully for a moment anyway. "Words of wisdom," he acknowledged, though this was not particularly surprising coming from the older man. He often seemed wise and worldly in Henry's estimation. That was partially just the result of his accent, but still. "Perspective is...important."

Ben would have laughed at the idea of someone thinking of him as 'wise and worldly', sure he had lived the highs and lows in life but so many others had suffered fates worse than his own, he knew how lucky he was (and in some respects Fitz as well).

"It is indeed, we all see things differently and it is when people forget this that problems can arise. Just because I do not like candy apples doesn't mean that I'm going to stop everyone else from eating them." That might be a bit philosophical.
