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. ]

	If there isn't, I have more at home I could bring. I always make leftovers for my classes or the Defense Force HQ. [Lacus enjoys baking just that much, yes!] [She takes a dainty bite of the onion loaf.] Mm, it's quite good! Your grandmother taught you very well. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[ betty ducks her head at the compliment. usually the best she can manage is a boiled egg and a sandwich, so knowing she's doing her oma proud is a big deal. ]

Thanks. [ a pause, and she cleans off the knife and sets it back down as if this is some fancy dinner party and not a pot luck outdoors. ] The Defense Force must like you a lot if you bring this kinda treat for 'em.

	I hope they find my contributions valuable. But to be entirely honest, I enjoy doing it. Cooking is a joy I rarely had time to experience before I came here. It's one thing I can do here to brighten my day. [Lacus takes great pleasure in simple things, even in prison. Even though this place weighs heavily on her sometimes.] Do you have something like that? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm, uh, helping out in a couple places. [ she shifts, just a little awkward. ] The garden they've got going, and Dr. Magnus' clinic. It's not much like a real job or anything, but it's something to keep busy with, you know? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Aidan's garden? How wonderful! He's a lovely person, and very dedicated to it. I'm sure it will be a great success. [Genuine enthusiasm there, delivered with calm, easy grace. Lacus is always interested in other people, no matter the topic.] Those sound like very good uses of your time. You're helping others in both instances. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	bombsheller 2013-07-23 10:15 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah, I guess. [ what a nice pink-haired baking person. betty isn't quite sure what to do with herself in the face of such enthusiasm. ] If we're gonna be stuck here, might as well help out and get to that rehabilitation they talked about when we came in, right? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fields_of_hope 2013-07-23 10:38 pm UTC (link)
	Mm, I couldn't agree more. [Except that the Wardens' ideas of rehabilitation and hers aren't typically compatible, but no need to get into that.] [Lacus extends a hand, still smiling.] I'm Lacus Clyne. It's nice to meet you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Betty McRae. And, ditto, I guess. [ horribly awkward, but her smile and handshake are solidly determined to make up for it somehow. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Lacus notices the hesitation but takes no offense at all. This place is bound to bring out uncertainty in anyone.] Are you newer to the dome? I used to meet most of the new arrivals but lately things have been busy. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	bombsheller 2013-07-29 10:25 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah, just a couple days ago. [ at least it's not a bad thing to be obvious about. ] How long have you been here? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fields_of_hope 2013-08-06 02:56 pm UTC (link)
	One hundred and seventy days, approximately. [She knows the exact number but doesn't see the benefit in announcing it since conversationally, that she's been here a long time is what's relevant.] A great deal has changed since then. (Reply to this) (Parent)
