YOU HAVE BEEN CORDIALLY INVITED...
If you just received this text from your contact inbox:
...then chances are you're in for a bit of a surprise.
Why Deck 004? Because it's one of the least occupied places with the least likely chances of being interrupted and whatnot.
BUT WHYFORE?
In commemoration to Someother-tember the 25th, Murphy's decided to do a little special thing for Sinterklaas. See, the poor guy hasn't had a decent Christmas in over a decade which, for a family man, is the worst thing ever. But the Tranquility folks are his family now, and he's actually kinda okay with that. :)
Murphy tends to overcompensate in the kitchen. He wants this to be awesome, and he wants you to feel awesome. Pretty much all of the food he's picked/collected himself, or what he's carted to the kitchen via veggie cart. Because he's just that diligent.
Sadly, there's not much in the ways of meaty foods (sorry Asato, but chicken is as easy to come by on the Tranquility as a decent spam recipe and you're not eating Jaye's), but there's plenty of other treats that he's gathered together into this meal-shaped incident, so you can expect:
→ REAL EGGNOG fffyeaaahhh
→ The Ponderton Irish Potato Soup
→ Sautéd Vegetables
→ FUCK YEAH it's bread so ready your bodies
→ Some shit with cranberries in them because that's festive right you know it is everybody loves cranberries
→ A small variety of instant noodley things holy shit
→ And of course, mashed poh-tay-toes (boil 'em mash 'em stick 'em in a stew)
(Also if anyone has any suggestions on foodstuffs to add, feel free to let me know and I can wave my magic handwavy wand.)
OKAY SO now that I've made myself phenomenally hungry, I leave you with this:
Yes and you're welcome.
Addendum: Oh yeah so IT'S A CHRISTMAS MIRACLE CHARLIE BROWN except not really, it's awful.
As mentioned on my plurk, feel free to just use this as a general handwavy thing for THEY HAD A FAMILY SINTERKLAAS DINNER and it was all gooey and heartfelt and they totally made sure the cats didn't keep jumping on the table because seriously that shit is annoying.
Have anything else to add, just comment or whatever. It's probably safe to assume that everyone gets drunk and acts like idiots and eventually ends with Murphy and Alex crying over some reason or the other, Iunno.
Syrup also suggested gift exchanges at the end, so gift exchanges there shall be.
Come to the Deck 004 Kitchens.
ASAP.

P.S. 5pm works, too.

DID YOU KNOW...?
The candy cane supposedly originated in 1670 when the choirmaster of Cologne Cathedral had candies made in the shape of a shepherd's crook. He distributed them to childred attending the church's creche scene to encourage them to silence.
Today more than 1.75 million candy canes are made each year for the Christmas season.
Yes and you're welcome.

SHIT THAT MOST LIKELY OR DEFINITELY DID HAPPEN
no subject
→ Alex, Space Dad is going to teach you how to cook. Because Real Men wear aprons.
→ Oh god the cat man is legit lapping up his soup quick everyone stare at him.
→ Several eggnogs in there will be man-tears. And lots of drunk eggnog things and Charlay and sad things when someone brings up Christmas carols because NOPE.
→ I don't even know.
→ Feels bad, mang.
no subject
(Murphy's pretty much being the fact that he spent all day gathering and making this shit for y'all, goddamn.)
no subject
Seriously she hasn't acknowledged Christmas since Harry died so at some point she's going to get all quiet, duck her head, start with the quiet tears and she'll probably be at it a minute or so before it becomes obvious what she's doing but yeah, crying.
She's also going to try to get Asato and Chase singing Christmas carols and this is not even an eggnog thing, okay?
no subject
SING YOUR LITTLE HEARTS OUT, PRECIOUS CHILDREN.
no subject
NO THAT'S WHAT GOT US INTO THIS MESS
FILE UNDER "DEFINITELY DID HAPPEN"
More things that happen wowie
-As mentioned, soup. Also hide the food because he will decimate this dinner table
-Too much nog, people might find him leaning against them/hugging them and humming songs to them, or he'll retreat to somewhere under the table to recuperate (cant be tamed)
-GIFTS from him including flower hairclips for Heather and probably assorted flowers he's gathered/dried/pressed/made into bouquets for everyone who wants them someone get this kid away from the flowers
no subject
adding to this -
- Not much nog, but a lot of facepalming and apologies on somebody's behalf
- CRANBERRIES THOUGH
- Konoe doesn't have many things to give, so he made everyone crowns of more flowers and grass
- eventually he's lost under the table, too
STUFF THAT HAPPENS GOSH
ALSO FRIENDSHIP BRACELET
wow DW I wasn't finished??? The friendship bracelet is blue and white chevrons because she has. unravelled both a good chiunk of the ribbon that was on her shotgun and the sheet from the other bed in her room to make it. And she's totally gonna tie it on his wrist for him okay.
no subject
FRIENDSHIP BRACELET
at least he'll keep still while she puts it on his wrist because WOW REALLY IMPORTANT and it'll be way too big of a deal for him and he will promise never to take it off ever. which he means 100%, if you see him without it after that point something's up in cat town.
also he'll probably fall asleep on her at least once during the evening.
no subject
she'll just be like... petting his ears smiling at him in a goofy way while he snoozes cute
