Who: OTA!
What: Food Club...but more dramatic!
When: Saturday afternoon
Where: The Soap Opera induced ballroom of the Ritz Carlton of Madison Valley
Warnings: ...it's the Soap Opera plot, I would not be surprised if I have to lock this but please let me know!

[OOC: It was requested we post Food Club early this month to give you all plenty of time to network any drama that happens. Please let drama happen!]

It wasn't that Allison wasn't grateful. Okay, she wasn't. Half the fun of Food Club was how comfortable everything was. No one really tried to outdo anyone else. They all just lounged around someone's home or the park and ate until they really couldn't anymore and chatted. And now the club had been hijacked by the Dome or the people running the Dome or whatever exactly was going on behind the scenes.

But the fact was, the ballroom was beautiful. Even if the logical part of her (which was, admittedly, most of her) knew that the hotel hadn't even been there this time last week.

They'd been set up with beautiful, cloth covered tables. They were drinking from goblets, not red solo cups someone got at Walmart. There were long buffet tables to place everyone's dishes - which were incredibly different than usual. Had someone actually brought caviar? And everyone was behaving differently.

She had no idea what was going on. But she had a sinking feeling she was about to find out.

Llewellyn showed up to the food club because she was curious. She brought with her homemade tandoori chicken and fresh made Naan, which she'd learned to make because of her time in the middle east. She approved of the location for today's meeting and she came decked out in a nice pinstripe suit and heels. Her long red hair was curled loosely. Currently, life was going GREAT. She had Adam, though Star was starting trouble in that paradise, so she planned to be out today

To be eating food other people cooked and just relaxing.

She sat at a table, a glass of wine in hand, a plate of neatly organized food on the table in front of her. She only hoped Star wouldn't show up and make a scene.

Well of course she was going to make a scene. That was just how she was when it came to Llew. Just because she was going to be out and about didn't mean that she would really get to ditch Star.

It didn't hurt that it was food so Star was planning on going anyway. She had at least shined up her dragon boots and put her hair up since they'd moved it to a nicer place.

She was tempted to use her wand to knock over Llew's wine but settled for plopping down at her table with a plate of food and a huge fake grin on her face. "Oh hi I didn't know you'd be here."

Llewelln groaned inwardly. She was trying very hard not to be a snarky bitch to the girl, but it was hard when she kept trying to get between her and Adam. That was exhausting.

"Oh, it's so</s> nice to see you." she said after a moment of contemplation. She had the urge to knock her glass over on Star. But she resisted the urge to do so.

"So delightful to see you here." sarcasm dripped like honey.

Nyssa was in a foul mood. It didn't matter what she was doing today, she just was on the edge of a cliff. She brought some dish or another to the Food Club because she felt maybe getting out of the house would solve her issues. It didn't. It all started when she ran into Chris Argent with some trophy girl on his arm. She didn't know why it annoyed her so badly, but it did. She had just seen red when she had come across them.

She was hoping today would go better and he wouldn't show up so she could have a day or two to sort out why she saw red. It wasn't like that was something she was prone to. She was in a slinky black dress, short of course, with four inch heels on, her long hair neatly braided back. She had just set her plate of food down on the table when she saw Chris come in. Her face lit up, a little, at the sight. This wasn't all bad.

Until the far too made-up face of that woman crossed the threshold of the door. Nyssa smoothed her dress out and stalked over like a cat on the prowl. And she looked right at Chris, eyes hard, lips pursed before she turned and punched the woman square in the nose.

Chris and Nyssa were... complicated. They noticed each other, and ignored each other, and it just was how it was. He dated other women and... well, he wasn't sure what she did. Something.

He and his latest were at the Food Club gathering, because why not? It was a perfectly acceptable social gathering to attend, plus who was going to pass up food? Nobody, that was who. Absolutely nobody. He'd noticed Nyssa as soon as he walked in -- it was hard not to -- but all the same, he noticed her.

And then he really noticed her, given that she was walking up and punching the woman beside him in the nose.

They had a very complicated relationship. It wasn't something easily described, or labeled, and to be honest, they probably liked it that way. She didn't date, well she didn't go looking for dates. They came to her, and she dropped them after a date or three because they weren't what she wanted. She didn't really admit she wanted Chris, though, either.

Nyssa snagged a napkin off the table to dab her knuckles clean, but the woman wasn't quite the pushover she looked like and tried to take Nyssa down as she turned her back on her. Nyssa stumbled, turned and drove her knee into the woman's ribs and kicked her away from her. She huffed in annoyance.

"Why do you always pick the weaklings?" she asked incredulously.

Jane really did hate getting all dolled up and the like, but it was worth it to get funding on their research. It was even worth the tray of pastries she'd purchased from the bakery as their contribution to the food club. They were so close to creating an actual Einstein Rosen bridge, but they needed a lot of specialized equipment which meant they needed money. Lots and lots of money. This was a necessary evil as far as she was concerned, so she grabbed a glass of wine and promised herself that she'd be home soon to cuddle with her boyfriend and their daughter.

She was in the middle of listening to a very boring, very wealthy old man explain how she was so lucky to have a brother who would share his successes with her. It was increasingly more and more difficult to maintain her interested expression when all she wanted to do was strangle him while also shoving her degrees down his throat. Honestly, the sexism was impossible sometimes. Finally, she was able to exit the conversation, after promising her brother would be in touch.

Jane drained her wine glass and headed for the bar to get another. She was going to need it if she was going to survive tonight and get any amount of funding.

It had taken him the better part of a week to track her down. Mrs. Stark had been overwhelmingly helpful, and Peter found himself wishing the pretty redhead had been the mom he'd been looking for. But she swore she wasn't and he believed her. They had narrowed down the options by age and finally, after what felt like forever, Peter was almost certain he had the first real answers to where he'd come from.

It made sense. She was a scientist. Peter was, legally and educationally speaking, a genius. It would hopefully get him a scholarship somewhere and get him a boost out of the system. Not that he intended to head back anytime soon, but having a head start couldn't hurt? She even sort of looked like him from what he could see of her.

So he showed up at their fancy party. The food didn't matter as much to him, though he never turned down a free meal when he was on the run. He had even dressed a bit nicer, thanks to some help from Mrs. Stark. He had sat at a corner table and waited. When Miss Foster was finally alone, he headed to the bar.

What? He was allowed to get soda. Even the best fake ID wasn't going to convince anyone his babyface was over twenty-one.

She was mostly not paying attention as someone arrived at the bar after she did. Jane was more interested in making sure she'd gotten a very expensive free glass of wine that was very, very full. It would probably be her last of the night since she was still breastfeeding, but she wanted to at least keep to her promise that she'd only have two glasses. They hadn't discussed how filled the glasses were meant to be though and that was a loophole she was comfortable with exploiting.

It wasn't until she turned that she caught sight of him and, even though she'd never seen a picture of him before, recognized him instantly. He looked like a mix of his father and his grandfather. Jane was so startled that she dropped her wine glass between them and the red liquid seeped across the ground. The sound of the glass breaking snapped her out of it.

"Oh my god, I'm so- I'm so sorry, I- you-" Jane floundered and she looked frantically around the room for her brother. He'd know what to do because she absolutely for sure did not. This was her son standing right in front of her. Did he know that? Did he know that she knew that? Had he been looking for her? Or was it just some random coincidence that he was in town?

Penny didn't like doing this. She didn't. She might've only been eleven, but she had pride. She also had a hungry feeling in her stomach and she'd had it for days. She needed to eat, and food at the Food Club meeting was free. She could go to that and it wouldn't be stealing.

She was okay with that.

So the woebegone little orphan had cleaned herself up as best she could, still coming out of it looking like a little ragamuffin -- but at least not looking dirty and scraggly, just pitiful -- and managed to sneak into the gathering. She couldn't believe the amount of food there, couldn't believe everything she was seeing. Amazing.

Penny grabbed herself a plate, careful not to take too much -- because she knew she'd make herself sick if she ate too much -- and tried to do it without being too obvious.

A fancy food outing group? Of course, Cassie was there. Being the underground fighter that she was, carbs were her best friend. Being a powered individual tended to stroke the hunger, too. It made life pretty amazing, so she wouldn't ever complain.

She had spotted the kid looking over the table with that certain look in her eye. Cassie knew that look. She'd had the look once in her life before she found her niche. Before she had finally "made it" in the circuit and local fight clubs. It wasn't a dazzling life, but it was better than nothing.

"Looks like someone's got an appetite," Cassie said with a grin, arms crossed and leaning against the table's edge just in front of Penny.

2019-10-11 05:18 pm UTC (link)

Lisa didn't care much about the food (through free was always better tasting somehow) as much as she cared about the opportunity to dress up and be hot. It was not often in a small town that you had the chance to wear a overly priced dress with equally overly priced heels and Lisa was going to take full advantage. Besides, it provided a distraction from the plan her and Lorna were currently working away on. Taking Cameron for all he was worth was a lot of work and while Lorna had to suffer through the majority, Lisa still felt the stress of it all because of worry for her sister and child.

She'd brought some cheap Walmart cookies to the party and after finding a place to squeeze them in on a buffet table she moved to order herself up a drink from the hotel staff (demand more so) and after accepting a lukewarm cosmo, she started to work on filling her plate with a decent amount of food, while scanning the room for a place to sit.

Abraham was fond of food, so of course he was going to be at food club. And he wasn't one to turn down an afternoon/evening at the Ritz. He was fond of the environment there, and so he decided to attend that day. Even though his ex-wife, Piper, was there. He got along well enough with Piper. At least, for the most part.

Obviously they didn't get along all that great, or else they would have remained married. But still. There weren't too many hard feelings between the two.

He thought.

He had a plate of food, and settled down at one of the tables. He was starving. Which was unusual for the tall man.

Suddenly, the matriarch of one of Madison Valley's most power families had arrived. As a socialite and proud business woman, it would be undignified of her to miss these types of events. If there was anything Piper Halliwell Braden Lincoln Vasic Dameron Braden Nast cared about more than business, it was her family's social standing.

As she walked around, she looked for anyone she deemed worthy to talk to. She noticed a few people she knew, including at least one of her children, but there was one person she was drawn to most. She wouldn't admit it out loud, but Garin was her favorite ex. There was a reason they'd been married more than once.

She grabbed two glasses of wine, then made her approach. "Enjoying the evening?"

The fact that she was his ex-wife? Made life even more interesting still.

"How is the evening treating my favorite socialite?" he asked, reaching out to take one of the wine glasses. He knew she was so much more than a socialite, he wouldn't have married her if she wasn't, but he would forever enjoy teasing her.

After being contacted by their daughters biological mother Aziraphale had wondered if they should skip the Food Club gathering but they had decided it would be good for them all to go out and Trixie had been looking forward to wearing her new dress for the event.

So they had gone but that didn't stop Aziraphale from fretting, part of him wondered if it was possibly Nikita was here - despite her claims she wasn't trying to steal their daughter from them. It had been a long and complicated process for them to adopt her and she had completed their family. Aziraphale didn't know what he would do if she was suddenly taken from them.

Honestly, at that point, Crowley would have gone to the gathering just for the free alcohol. If it weren't for keeping a brave face for Trixie, he probably would have been drunk since the moment they got the message from that woman. But a glass or two to take the edge of his nerves off wouldn't hurt.

He found his husband at a table, looking ready to jump out of his own skin. He set both glasses of wine down on the table before reaching for Aziraphale's shoulders, giving a gentle rub. "You're so tense, angel. Calm down. No one is snatching her here, not with so many people who adore her around." It was true, at least. No one who met Trixie didn't absolutely worship her. It would be impossible to steal her away without at least someone being alerted. Especially since their kid had a tendency to be the center of attention.

Mary knew something was going on in Madison Valley. Everyone was acting like...a soap opera? Mary didn't know how else to describe it. It just felt like Madison Valley may have been bitten by the drama bug. Or drama lama? In any case, Mary felt something was off, but she couldn't put her finger on it exactly. That was one of the reasons why she was at the Foodie Club event today. She wanted to see if she could figure out just what was going on with people.

Being that it was a bit more of a "stand-up" affair than last time around, Mary had to dress up. She put on a fancy dress or as fancy of something that she could find and headed out to the event. She didn't make anything, but she did make sure to bring a rather fancy looking macaroni salad she'd found at Walmart. She hoped it would be enough to put it in some kind of nice tupperware. Arriving, she placed it on the table and moved to make herself a plate before looking around the room.

Maybe she could figure out what was going on if she observed. She located an empty seat and settled in to eat.

Hermann wasn't willing to call this the weirdest thing he'd seen over the entire time he'd been in Madison Valley, especially since his scale for weird was a little on the weird side, but it was right on up there.

He'd been observing everything quietly for the past week, grateful for the fact that his classes didn't seem to have been affected too much. Some kind of normal was appreciated, or as normal as you could get in the middle of weirdness in this place. And since he was trying to keep an eye on things, as best he could, he'd thought of going to the food club event.

Because obviously everything wasn't over yet.

So he'd managed to come up with something, dressed up nicely enough, and headed over to the event. He deposited what he'd brought on the table, fixed himself a plate, and found himself a place to sit. A place near Mary, as it just so happened. He glanced over at her, trying to figure out if she'd been affected by whatever was going on or not.

It was nice having two young men pursuing her. Elena liked both Grantaire and Enjolras well enough and she would be happy to end up with either of them. Maybe it wasn't the nicest thing to do playing them against each other, but she knew she deserved the best and wanted to see what they were each willing to offer for her favor.

She was pleased that Grantaire agreed to escort her to the food club event and was eyeing the offered food options critically, her arm tucked into his. "At least they seem to have some decent vegetarian options," she said.

Grantaire liked Elena. She was sweet, and smart. And had a wicked sense of humour, which he appreciated. The only trouble was...she wasn't the person he wanted holding his arm, today. Not really. So far, he thought he'd done admirably at not being too obvious about keeping half an eye out for a particular blond head amongst the many people.

But he wasn't here for that. He fully intended to have a good time with Elena. He'd asked her here, after all. He wasn't going to be miserable at her expense.

As she looked over the extravagant spread of food he sipped his wine. "Have you always been vegetarian?" He asked curiously, considering what looked to be some kind of quiche. "I will admit, I cannot imagine it." And the other sort, vegans. To give up cheese? That sounded like abject torture.

Rowan Fricks & Mitsuko Souma

2019-10-13 08:16 am UTC (link)

Rowan couldn’t believe her own ears when she heard what one of her best friends had done. The thought of Mitsuko going after Rowan’s boyfriend...well ex now, but the point still stood since it had happened while the two together was a shocker. How dare she! Even more so considering Mitsuko had the nerve to pretend the two were all good when she had the nerve to do that behind Rowan’s back. Her heart was breaking into so many pieces from the betrayal of two people who she thought respected her.

Since hearing the news, Rowan had been a crying mess only she was determined not to let them think they had won in hurting her. Rowan had been planning to blow off the food club ordeal, refusing to be anywhere either of the two who hurt her might be, she decided on the morning of the party to go. Screw them both. Throwing together some very basic brownies, Rowan wasn’t even caring or trying to make anything fancy since this wasn’t about that. No, this was proving they hadn’t won. Even going so far as to wear a dress fitting the location along with some heels.

It wasn’t until the sight of Mitsuko where Rowan saw red, storming over to the woman who used to be her best friend. “So were you ever going to tell me what you did? Or were you hoping to make me look like a fool?” Her words and tone not even trying to hide the anger that was boiling from within on Rowan. If this chick even tried to lie, Rowan was pretty sure she’d lose it, but she hoped her ex best friend was smarter than that.

Mitsuko didn't have the best childhood. In fact, it was filled with abuse and lies and other horrible things. And as much as she did like Rowan and Karoline, their friendship just wasn't quite enough to stop her from doing terrible things. She still fought a lot and had a bit of a reputation for have a short temper. She did drugs, slept around, all sorts of things. The only thing they kept her from doing was going off the deep end and seriously hurting someone. Or worse.

But it didn't stop her from sleeping with Rowan's boyfriend. Mitsuko wasn't quite sure why she did it exactly. If she thought about it more, it was jealously, plain and simple. She was jealous that Rowan had a better life than her. Now she had this good looking, amazing boyfriend on top of it all. Sleeping with him was the only way she knew how to take that away from her and so she did. And she didn't feel all that bad about it either. Maybe a tiny bit of remorse at first, but she pushed that aside.

And keeping with the illusion that she didn't do anything wrong, she went to the food club as usual. She was about to go grab another drink when she heard a familiar angry voice. Great, guess she knows now. Mitsuko sighed inwardly but when she turned, she gave Rowan a funny look as if she was confused.

"What? What are you talking about?" she asked, blinking. Yeah, she was going for the lying route. She was a huge liar after all. Mitsuko wasn't sure the was a time she was ever truthful.

Foggy had absolutely no idea what was going on with the town. It was like being in the middle of a Spanish novella or something. Not that he ever watched Spanish novellas. He took Punjabi in college. So he just knew that Spanish novellas were very dramatic. And that's exactly what was going on here.

He had decided to attend food club anyway, just to see what was going to happen there. And it was at the Ritz of all places, so of course he was going to go. He didn't even know Madison Valley had a Ritz. This was all so very strange.

And because things were so strange in town at the moment, it didn't bother him in the slightest that he saw friggin Princess Leia off to the side. It didn't phase him one bit. In fact, he approached her. "Hello," he offered, with a small smile.

"Enjoying your day?"

Leia hadn't checked out the Food Club yet because frankly, she wasn't that great at cooking yet. With Jesse gone, now she really was kind of screwed as far as cooking went. But she missed enjoying time with the others in the city so she had done as suggested and picked up a roast chicken from that Walmart place. Though apparently it wasn't necessary since the place was....catered? That was different. What was the point otherwise.

That was hardly the weirdest thing she'd seen, though. There was slapping. There was punching. There was so much yelling. When the at least somewhat calm and normal looking man approached her, she smiled.

"Is it always like this?" she questioned, wincing as two guys started punching each other. "I mean, I'm fine, wonderful, it's a lovely day, thanks."
