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. ]

[ Potlucks were a huge part of Aidan's life growing up but after moving to the city and later getting whisked away off-planet by Helix, he could barely remember the last time he indulged in that kind of community spirit. It made his heart ache a little, but that was the charm of this place wasn't it? The community. The people that, despite everything, still find a reason to get together and do something nice for each other.

He's spent most of the morning cooking and is happy to contribute some fried green tomatoes, chicken salad and blueberry crumb bars. Not too bothered by the cooler weather he can be found sampling the food or outstretched on the grass, just soaking in the atmosphere. Also easily persuaded to join games! ]

[Euphie is not a chef. She's tried more than once and not terribly successfully to make things. She tried again today, but those sad cookies are not making an appearance. Instead she picked up food from one of the bot-run establishments. These cookies look good at least! After setting them down, she looks around, a bit nervous about being out again. Maybe others will be uncomfortable having her around. She doesn't want to ruin anyone else's fun. Then again, everyone has been so kind about it she doesn't want to assume something negative falsely either. Her eyes land quickly on Aidan though and the butterflies in her stomach take a breather.] Aidan, hi.

	Hey, Euphie! [ He brightens at the sight of her, which is saying a lot considering the good mood he's already in. ] So you found your way out here too, huh? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[She'll have to start wearing shades around him soon. Then again, he might have to do the same. Seeing him is certainly a relief.] I did. I'm afraid I don't have much to contribute, but I what I could find was better than anything I could make. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Hey, the important thing is that you're here! It's just nice to bring somethin', it don't matter if you made it yourself or not. [ He did. He made a lot. Also prepare yourself for getting hugged. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	friendly_fire 2013-07-06 05:13 am UTC (link)
	[She was not prepared! And yet she hugs back when the embrace starts and it is warm and tight.] It's good to see you too. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ Such a good hugger. He knew there was a reason why he kept her around. ] You wanna get somethin' to eat? There's plenty of food. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Just a little more hugging. Okay, okay, she's good. She pulls back to smile at him.] I am a little hungry. Did you eat yet? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2013-07-09 10:34 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah, I had a few nibbles... always room for more though! C'mon, let's load up. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[She laughs lightly.] If you're sure. I don't want you to have a stomach ache on my account. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ Laughing! ] Don't worry about me, I'll be fine! Besides, I'm used to eatin' a lot. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Is that so? Well, then you must be an expert at this kind of gathering. What do I need to know? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2013-07-23 10:17 pm UTC (link)
	Well... for starters, you gotta pick wisely. Don't fill yourself up on bread and potatoes, or things you could eat anytime. Start off with th' food you've never had before, or that you like better. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	To be honest, I've never been to one before. [Participation in this sort of thing isn't his strong suit. But it was something Yuuki had mentioned wanting to come to.] I wasn't sure what to bring. [Dish to share? He brought Ginger Pork. He wasn't sure if that was appropriate or not.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
