Potluck Mingle: Welcome Party

[musketea]

When March 2nd Where Blossomcrown Central Park
What Potluck Mingle/Welcome Party

About.

What had started with Mami stress-baking far too much cake and offering to give some away, had lead to a number of other offers to bring food, and soon she had ended up in charge of a substantial potluck mingle. Well, she supposed it would make for a nice welcome party for everyone else who had been dragged into this strange new world with her!

And so, a number of small tables and picnic blankets had been set out with cakes, cookies, hot dogs, burgers and other sweet and savoury treats that her and others had been brought along. Mami had even taken the time to decorate the table with little flowers that she'd gathered as well, just to add to the atmosphere that the cherry blossom trees already provided.

Hopefully it would be a relaxing, pleasant afternoon.

Notes.

OOC: Feel free to make your own TLs, mingle, interact with each other and all of that stuff! I'll add a comment at the top for people to add what they're bringing along for reference (but contributions are of course not mandatory).

[He definitely will not laugh at this poor fellow attempting to eat noodles with his hands. Well... okay, he will try not to laugh.]

Would you like something to eat those with? I am sure they have spoons or chop sticks as an option, depending upon your preference? It might make eating less messy.

[hellward]

Oh, good thinking.

[that definitely makes more sense than what he was doing]

... that's how you eat these things normally, isn't it?

[said sheepishly]

[sagescion]

[He nods. He's definitely not judging.]

It's perfectly reasonable that not everyone is the best acquainted with these things. I'd never used chopsticks before until I started traveling with my friends, for example. I hope I wasn't being too presumptuous in suggesting you try using utensils you might not be familiar with.

[Definitely no judgement either way. He's mostly just amused.]

My name is Alphinaud. What might your name be?

[hellward]

I'm Zagreus. I just got so excited seeing all this food, I sort of forgot you don't always eat things with your hands.

Nice to meet you, Alphinaud. What's a chop stick?

[sagescion]

It's a bit like... well, you know how some foods you can put them on a stick? sort of like that but instead you use two smaller ones to pick up food; not stab them with it, but trap food between them and pick them up.

[He really hopes he's describing it in a way that makes sense...]

[hellward]

Oh. Sounds tricky... do mortals eat like that often?

[sagescion]

Not always! It somewhat depends upon where they live. Where I'm from, this group of people from a country called Doma use chopsticks.

[hellward]

I'm getting the impression there's a lot about living up here that I've got absolutely no clue about.

[chuckles]

So thanks for the lesson.
