St. John's Eve Celebration (backdated to the 23rd)

[anita_hero]

[It's only just stopped raining when Anita lights the bonfire.

She knows this is bad timing. She knows she should probably call the whole thing off. She knows anyone who does show up is probably going to be bruised to hell and back, at best. But it's St. John's Eve and she said there was going to be a party, and if there's one thing Anita is terrible at, it's giving up.

Besides, she did cook an absurd amount of food (with help, of course) and the bonfire is sort of ungodly huge, and she figures that everyone will want sustenance and warmth soon.

She's dressed all in white, as befits her position as host, and before anyone shows up she says the prayers by herself, because she doubts anyone else will want to. That's okay. She's pretty sure the gods will understand, given whole trapped-on-another-world and there's-just-been-a-war-on-the-moon situation.

If you decide to show up to the party outside Community Housing Building 4, there will be a ton of traditional Creole food, some music, a bonfire, and plenty of places to sit in case you're not feeling up to standing. Feel free to mingle!]

Yes, I've actually been told that before here. If you don't mind my asking, how did you come to meet Rin? [He's betting on terrible circumstances involving blue fire and other awful things.]

[anita_hero]

He was working in the restaurant I ended up in when I first arrived. He made me a sandwich. [Now, the second time they met were terrible circumstances involving blue fire and nudity, but she's over it.]

[sharpness]

I see. [Phew, that's a relief. At least they met on good terms and there weren't any flames right from the get go.] Just a sandwich though? Given cookery is his one productive skill you shouldn't hesitate to ask more from him in future.

[anita_hero]

Haha, I'm sure he has skills other than that. But I'll remember that next time I go to Seventh Heaven.

[sharpness]

If he does then he must have developed those skills in the few months I was absent. [Heh. Yeah, he doubts he has anything else.] Though come to think of it I've yet to visit my brother whilst he's at work. It would be interesting to see how he's coping.

[anita_hero]

What about you; do you cook?

[sharpness]

Not often, however I believe I can at least follow a recipe if I need to.

[Who needs to cook when there's the cafeteria at True Cross and Rin around?]
