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. ]

	Nah. Sometimes, last minute's the best thing. It makes it more casual... spontaneous. [Something like that.] It's cool. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	My gran used to do these things all the time back home. I was always just helping out, though. I think this is the first time I've ever successfully thrown one together. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Well, you did a good job. Especially for a first time. I guess that helping out helped you, too. Yanno... like rubbed off or something. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ that makes her smile, because if there's one thing sookie's determined to do in life, it's hold on to the memory of her gran. ] Feels like I'm doing right by her by trying to give everyone something to be happy about, even though there's not a lot to be happy about around here, being a prison and all.

	Sounds like a good reason. There's not a lot to be happy about around here, I agree, but yeah. Parties are a good thing. Watcha got so far in food? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	A couple pies, some roasts, and chili, for the most part -- and, of course, your snacks. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Sounds good to me. I think there's still some people making their way over here, too, so you might be getting more stuff. [He smiled.] I see you brought some game equipment out, too. (Reply to this) (Parent)
