[Is Alex entirely ignoring the fact that she thinks that any of these new memories might turn into an entire nightmare soon? Oh, you bet. So, instead she's going to be focusing on something entirely different and way more important:]

Okay, so if the calendar here is right, we're coming up to October 14th, and that means that it's an important holiday. And no, I don't just mean two weeks to Halloween. [Is that an entirely audible grin in her voice? Yep.] October 14th is Thanksgiving. Proper Canadian Thanksgiving and no overly commercialized tomorrow starts Christmas stuff. Because it's definitely actually a Canadian thing first.

So, I'm gonna do a dinner. A proper Thanksgiving dinner. Don't worry, I'm not going to cook the meal or anything, I'm not that dumb. And I'm not going to make Richard cook it either, because I'm not that much of an asshole. I'm ordering it from one of the restaurants. We're going to have all of the fixings: turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, gravy, cranberries not from a can, Roasted Heirloom Squash with Mushrooms and Montaña Cheese Fonduta Filling, green bean casserole, pumpkin pie (both real and American) and of course Nanaimo bars and butter tarts. Those I'll be making. And I actually can make them.

[Probably.]

But the invitation is open to anyone who wants to come. It'll be in the dining room in Dome 3 between five and seven in the evening. If you've got food from home that you'd like to add, please feel free to bring it! I look forward to seeing you there.

Going it alone is preferable.

[11calls]

I disagree with you there, Loki. Obviously. But it still should be fun anyway. I mean, lots of really good food and drink and pie...

[You know you wanna do it, Loki.]

[itsnothingpersonal]

Are you attempting to woo me with food?

[11calls]

Come on, Loki. Everyone likes food.

[itsnothingpersonal]

Of course, but it's hardly a bargaining chip.

[11calls]

Good food and good booze and good company helps.

[itsnothingpersonal]

Define "good company."

[11calls]

I’ll be there. So will Tommy. And hopefully everyone else.

[itsnothingpersonal]

Everyone else?

[11calls]

I mean maybe? I'm inviting everyone else obviously.

[itsnothingpersonal]

Have you met some of the people here?

[11calls]

[Well, that certainly sounds familiar, doesn't it?]

I don't expect to like everyone, Loki.

[itsnothingpersonal]

Yet you...invite them all to your parties.

[Humans are so strange.]

[11calls]

Don't you think that feeling excluded sucks though? I mean I do.

[So she doesn't want to exclude anyone.]

[morethanatrickster]

Your empathy is touching [Not really] but if they aren't included there's a reason, and it isn't my problem.

[11calls]

Well, I'm me and I try to include everyone if I am able.

[Obviously.]

[morethanatrickster]

To each his own, I suppose.

[11calls]

I am what I am.

[Despite how much it drives people Richard insane.]

[morethanatrickster]

[He chuckles. To spite her ridiculousness, there's something oddly charming about her.]

And so you are.

[11calls]

So does that mean you're coming? I can try and talk to people and see if I can get something particular you'd like to have there.

[morethanatrickster]

As a rule, I despise feast days...but I suppose I can make an exception in this case. I can always leave.

[11calls]

You can! And if you need too, I'm sure Richard will be holed up somewhere with a bottle of scotch. He's not a fan of crowds.

[morethanatrickster]

A tempting offer. [Does he mean that? Who knows?] We shall see.

[11calls]

Okay. Well, I'll save you some pie. Everyone loves pie.
