5th Abnormality - dictated

[teratologist]

With the others off on the expedition I thought it would be a chance for some of us to get to know each other better.

I would like to invite everyone who remains to a dinner, I believe the term I've heard is pot luck. I have a few special things I've been wanting to make and I know others here are skilled at cooking, or wishing, as well.

If you are interested please let me know, I was hoping to have it this week.

Everyone is of course, welcome.

Dictated.

[whistles_the_blues]

I'll pass, don't eat.

Dictated.

[teratologist]

You are welcomed to just come even if you don't eat.

[whistles_the_blues]

Maybe. I'll try not to make any other plans.

[He never has other plans.]

[spongetastic]

Potlucks are great. I'd love to come.

[teratologist]

Wonderful! I'll look forward to seeing you.

[teratologist]

I was so hoping you'd say that. There was another matter I'd like to discuss with you later if that's convenient.

[spongetastic]

Yeah? I'd love to talk with you, Helen. You can stop by Caritas... It's easaier than me finding someone to cover for me.

[originalcopy]

I don't think I can stick around... but as long as you don't ask me to play croquet I suppose I can at least swing by.

[teratologist]

It's just an open invitation for food and company, you can stay or leave at your leisure.

I do promise no flamingos though.

[teratologist]

I've been remiss in keeping up with you, I would like to catch up and talk. If it won't disturb your work too much I would love to stop by.

[spongetastic]

I'll talk to the owner and make sure it's okay. [lol joke] He says yes.

[teratologist]

[Helen laughed quietly.]

So glad the two of you are on such good terms. I'll stop by tomorrow if that is alright?

[originalcopy]

Good, I think I've developed an allergy to stupid looking birds.

[spongetastic]

I'll look forward to it.

[teratologist]

I think they are better off left alone as well.

[teratologist]

Wonderful, see you then.

[minicaptain]

Why is it called a pot luck?

[ that's what she's most curious about at the moment. she might, however, be interested in turning up to this dinner thing. curiosity over earth foods. oh yes. ]

[mal_addict]

I don't eat, but I might come for the company.

[teratologist]

It was originally a tradition of offering a covered meal dish to visitors, it was whatever luck of the pot they were given to eat. These days it's come more to mean a gathering where people bring what they have and share with others in a social context.

[teratologist]

I would love to have you there, I assume we'll have much to discuss with the others gone on the expedition.

[minicaptain]

Oh. [ well that sounds interesting. ] Are kids allowed to go to these things?

[ladywinter]

A generous offer. [One which she hasn't decided if she'll accept you, but it is a nice idea.]

[onlythefishiest]

Is that really -EV-ERYON-E? It would be nice to meet some more people, but I know some people find trolls very strange!

[mal_addict]

I'm sure we will, it'll be entertaining for the both of us.

[teratologist]

Not only allowed but encouraged.

[teratologist]

Quite certain you are right.

[teratologist]

I think if we are all to share the same circumstances, we can at least make the best of it.

[teratologist]

I have made it an open invitation, so I would enjoy it if everyone who felt inclined to, came. It would be good for us all to get to know each other.

[onlythefishiest]

[Feferi sounds very, very enthusiastic.]

In which case I would be happy to come! Thank you for the invitation! Glub!

[And now she sounds confused and enthusiastic. It's an odd combination.]

What is a pot luck, though? Is it a special human custom I need to know anything about?

[minicaptain]

Will there be a lot of Earth foods?

[ hey, she's still learning about earth okay. ]

[ladywinter]

It might be a welcome change from worry. [Daughter runs off on the expedition, son goes to take care of her. You know how it is.] I do not believe we have met. Might I ask the name of our hostess?

[teratologist]

I would hope so, I plan on making some of my favorites.

[teratologist]

[She knows it exactly, though her's is daughter and lover.]

I'm Helen Magnus, it's a pleasure to meet you even of the journals.

[teratologist]

Glub?

Uh, yes it is. Rather a sort of jumbled celebration of being together marked by whatever foods anyone brings at the time.

[minicaptain]

Okay! I'll come. I want to learn everything I can about Earth.

[ if voyager is going to eventually land there, she wants to know what she'll be getting into. ]

[ladywinter]

The pleasure is mine. I am Lady Catelyn Stark.
