Wednesday Group Lunch

[latinumsbetter]

[Sometime mid-morning on Wednesday, the Eatery and Kitchen will suddenly be bustling with activity. First, the sounds of cookery start to trickle out into the hall, quickly followed by some delicious smells. If one peeks in, they might see Lebkuchen kneading dough while Cerejiera gives her some instructions on modern oven use. There are others chopping vegetables, and some point Ranma’s cooking something on the stove. Soon enough, food starts to come out and fill the table. Fresh bread and soup, various other dishes, as well as apfelstreudel and lebkuchen for dessert. To drink, there’s coffee (Vanity) and tea (Sayo) and some kind of fruity, delicious punch that combines peaches, grenadine and something almond-y, reminiscent of something familiar to at least one of you. At the same time, the table starts to be set up, plates and cups levatating through the air with alicorn magic while Aoi has been trusted with…the napkins. Once the table is mostly set, runners are sent out to invite (or strongly encourage, if needed) those missing to a lunch in the Eatery. Which is now for sure 100% safe from Rube Goldberg-esque accidents, courtesy of Alex.

So come in! Grab a seat, a drink, and some food. Time to get to know each other a little better.]

[ Oh. Hello, Cerejeira. Yeah, join us.

Taking a moment to look at her all bug-eyed, Alex thinks, and- ]

Framed portrait of a bunch of dogs in different hats.

[first, to Cerejeira] Thank me later, we gotta keep this thing up right now.

[he turns his attention back to Lebkuchen.]

Elise? I don't think I've heard you mention her before. Who's that? [listen, maybe he did, he can't really remember right now. The point is to keep them talking, though he is paying attention as best he can.

At Alex's answer, though, he does look bemused]

A bunch of what in hats?

[murchada]

[keep what thing up. how is this going to help with the shield? whatever. she'll contribute to table talk.]

Dogs. They're domesticated quadruped mammals kept as pets.

[that's it that's all she's got right now]

Anyhow.

I'd like to hear more about the dogs in hats.

[ Looking from Quark to Cerejeira to Lebkuchen. Up above them the fight's definitely still going, and his mind's still racing a little, wondering how fast they could move if the robot gets knocked onto the table and breaks it or something like that.

However. As his gaze settles on Quark. ]

Space future must suck if you don't know what dogs are. They rock. My dad's co-worker got it for me. There's a corgi in a beret. An akita in a hardhat. I think it might be the best object I own.

[ Alex really likes dogs. ]

[latinumsbetter]

[*Quark will remember that. Anyway, turning his attention to Alex as the debris slides off the outside of the force field and onto the floor]

If it's a hyu-mon pet, I've got a bunch of other things I could think of that would make good pets in space than that.

What does the hat do for them, exactly?

[murchada]

It makes them cuter.

[brokenhabit]

[ Is currently picturing a dog in a little top hat

...

this could fix her ]

[rockymountaindie]

[ Alex in immediate agreement: ]

It makes them cuter.
