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. ]

	[ oh. well. that certainly explains a lot of the reaction going on. though betty isn't quite sure how to explain an onion. ] A vegetable... [ obviously trying very hard to think of how else to describe an onion and coming up short. ] You've never had one before? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	No... [She giggles nervously.] I don't really eat vegetables. It's, ah, certainly an interesting flavor! [Calliope returns her attention zwiebelkuchen-ward.] Maybe not what I would think of as cake, by my understanding of it, but I'm not exactly an expert. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yeah, it must be if you've never had one before. [ how does someone not eat vegetables? of all the weird things in this moment betty could mentally fixate on, that is what she can't get past. ] And I guess it's more of a bread than a cake. Especially if the cake you're used to has icing on it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[Calliope starts thinking of dessert-cake, rather than lying onion-cake, and she smiles.]

That makes sense!

I've never really had bread, either... well, it's certainly worth the experience, to say I tried it! Curiosity is good and natural, after all. [The cherub attempts to very subtly tug her scarf around so she can shovel another bite of onion cake into her mouth. There may or may not have been a white forked tongue involved in that.]

[ there is probably a really great metaphor to be had and pondered at length about betty's hiding and the lying onion cake, but she's not that self aware when there is weird tongue things going on. seriously? tongues have to be weird here, too?

betty opts to not question it, both because it would probably be really horribly rude, but also because if she did she isn't sure she'd want to know the answer or deal with the impact it would have on her coping skills. so she grins, and side-eyes in the most genial manner possible. ]

You might want to try regular bread, then. Kinda... Work your way up from there.

	[Tongues most certainly have to be weird here.] That's rather good advice, actually. Thank you! [But she's going to force herself to finish the cake she cut, because it seems rude to put it back.] Do you suppose there's jam? I've always wanted to try jam. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[ betty certainly won't stop her. somebody's gotta eat it, enjoyable experience or not. ]

Don't think they have any here, but there's gotta be a good selection at one of these stores. If not, you can always get some fruit and make your own.

[ will she make jam for strange tongue girl in an attempt to make friends and fit in? possibly maybe. gotta put to use the skills you've got, and it's either making jam or teaching her how to make a bomb which seems very misguided and terribly inappropriate. ]

	Hmm. [She considers that, blinking a few times.] I'm perfectly happy eating store jam, but is it terribly difficult to make? And if it's not, would it be possible to use fruit-flavored candy, instead of actual fruit? [Because clearly, the one thing her life is missing is Jujube-flavored jams.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	bombsheller 2013-07-29 10:21 pm UTC (link)
	[ that is certainly a question betty has never heard before. ] I don't-- It's not that hard, I guess, if they have everything for it here. And I don't know about candies... Unless you can make 'em mushed up enough? [ she sounds very dubious about this potential candy jam, sorry. ] Couldn't hurt to try, though? (Reply to this) (Parent)
