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, sounds VERY fun!

[latinumsbetter]

It was a pretty dramatic wedding. I'm just glad I wasn't invited to the bachelor party.

[sweetsynergy]

Did someone object? That's a thing at weddings, isn't it?

[Tell her someone tried objecting.]

[latinumsbetter]

Their female head of house almost did. The bride had to swallow her pride to get her to agree, but it was good for her. [he says that fondly]

[sweetsynergy]

With or without bloodshed?

[Either way, sounds juicy.]

[latinumsbetter]

They're Klingons. There was definitely some bloodshed. But mostly at the bachelor party.

[sweetsynergy]

...if we get the chance after this, I would LOVE to visit your world at least once.

[latinumsbetter]

Hey, you're more than welcome, as far as I'm concerned. Starfleet probably wouldn't be too happy, but what they don't know, they can't regulate.

[sweetsynergy]

[She shrugs a little.]

What's a fleet to a god?

[latinumsbetter]

Honestly? That's a complicated question.

[sweetsynergy]

Oh?

[She was just making a quip-]

[latinumsbetter]

We've got gods of the nearby planet living right outside the station in a wormhole. Starfleet is pretty protective of that wormhole, and not just because the captain of the station got named as their emissary.

So it's a bit of a stalemate, actually. Or a tentative truce? Those gods are non-linear, so it's hard to say with them sometimes. They're a prissy, rude bunch, though, I can tell you that.

[sweetsynergy]

These gods have more to back up the title than having convinced a planet to worship them, I assume?

[Cause that'd just be a cult leader, Vanity could probably do that herself with the right planet and a little luck.]

[Quark huffs]

One time they turned the Grand Nagus into what supposedly was an earlier version of Ferengi. I had to go talk to them myself and ask them to change him back because if they'd left him like that, he would've ruined our entire economy.

[sweetsynergy]

Yikes.

[What even.]

Earlier version as in what, some kind of common ancestor?

[latinumsbetter]

Yep. Aparently way back, we used to be some kinda overly-sappy, give-everything-away-for-free kinda culture. [he sounds disgusted saying it lmao] Zek even rewrote the Rules of Acquisition. Fortunately, my brother and I got a look at it before he published it, so I was able to change him back before it got published. But it would'a been a disaster!

[sweetsynergy]

Yikes.

[That is even worse than she thought.]

[Also that's not how evolution works, she's pretty sure]

Rules of Acquisition?

[She can hear those capital letters.]

[latinumsbetter]

The Rules of Acquisition! The guiding light of all Ferengi negotiations and business practices. Every young Ferengi male learns and memorizes them as a child.
