day 225 | xiii ❧ potluck mingle!

[ this is her first time doing one of these without gran, and something she thought was going to be difficult for those very reasons is actually rather therapeutic, heartwarming -- a glance back at her roots, back when she was just adele stackhouse's weird granddaughter and not that fae who mingles with vampires. sookie contributes a few dishes from her gran's old recipes, along with something lafayette taught her to make. she's got all the tables in this part of trois park covered with checkered table clothes of varying colors, lots of plastic silverware, paper plates, cups, and napkins at the ready, and a stack of picnic blankets folded up on one of the benches for those who wish to sit on the grass instead of at a table. sookie even brought a long a mesh bag full of sports equipment -- or rather, a couple frisbees, a football, soccer ball, basketball, and even some hacky sacks. (she's not the sports type, but jason would always be off playing something with the other guys.)

hopefully she didn't leave anything out. hopefully this will help cheer everyone up some, both the new arrivals and those still dealing with the days they spent in that other prison. ]

	Women who dare to be different always stand out. I know I have over the years more than a few times. I still remember the first few times I decided to wear pants. I thought people were going to faint. [A subtle hint that if she's supposed to be surprised or alarm by Helen's age, she isn't.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Sounds like we're not the only ones who don't look our ages. We should start a club, Helen. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Is that your master plan, Nikola, creating a club for the variously long-lived people?

[ she's teasing him now, her expression one of her finest nikola-trolling faces. watch them devolve into five-year-old banter/arguing in front of rebekah.

she does turn back to her friend, though, offering a teasingly curious sort of smile. ] The day I stopped wearing corsets was an equally interesting one. I don't think society is ever truly ready to face those who would change what is normal, particularly if they do it consistently over a long period of time. [ like helen herself has done. ]

I'd be surprised if either one of you had lived as long as I have, honestly. [It's said casually, as if it's not a big deal.]

No, they never are. The world often tries to resist change as much as it can, I've lived long enough to learn that, if nothing else.

[Being a vampire has helped Rebekah resist getting stuck in certain roles. even if she sometimes got placed in them anyways thanks to her brothers.]

	Oh, you can get the world to change if you try hard enough. [ spoken with the confidence of the man who has done just that. but as always, that confidence quickly morphs into bitterness. ] Just be prepared to not receive credit for doing any of it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ this whole conversation is making her very curious about rebekah. she wants to know what the other woman has been through. however, that will have to wait. nikola snatches helen's attention. time for a distraction. if they end up arguing ~~like five-year-olds~~, at least he won't be thinking about that. ] Don't be bitter, Nikola. It doesn't suit you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh I don't know, it seems to suit him rather well. [Not that she knows him at all but this is just the first impression she's getting here.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Sassy. [ to rebekah with a grin, then to helen. ] Much better than your last choice in companionship. Of course, a pet rock would be a step up from dear Wilhelm. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	If you two would stop needling each other, perhaps you might actually get along. [ too bad she can't lock them in a room to sort out their differences. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm a better choice than most people. It's good to see someone notices for once. (Reply to this) (Parent)
