A Day of Thanks
"A thankful heart is not only the greatest virtue, but the parent of all the other virtues." - Cicero

In America today is a day for being thankful for the things in people's lives. Today was a day to celebrate family, friends, prosperity and health with food, family and friends. It is a time to reflect on what is important us and to recognize the gratitude we hold for having those things in our lives.

	Jess had put a meal together for people who didn't have anywhere else to go. She had accidentally burned the green beans but everything else had come along nicely. Just don't ask about the pies either. (Reply to this)(Thread)

Harry doesn't have a very big family, and they're scattered across the country. It doesn't help that his mom always seems to want to start arguments, it's part of the reason he moved out. But family is family and they go for lunch together at a nearby restaurant. It leaves his evening free for a guaranteed less awkward meal with the others later.

Harry picks up a large box of his favourite roasted potatoes he ran to the nearby supermarket to get right before. Hopefully he's not late...

A bright flash of light and he's standing in the kitchen. "Happy Thanksgiving! I brought potatoes." Maybe he should have gotten a pie instead...

	"Already burnt." She pokes the remains of the green beans then sighs tossing the wrinkled black and green mess into the trash can. "That's okay. The carrots and squash are still good. Also we have no pie.... I kinda. Um. Failed." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Cindy had already had... a lot of Thanksgiving with family before coming to the HQ for dinner. She still wasn't full, really. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

He didn't want to mention the smell but now that the topic is out...he glances at the remains of the pie before discreetly sliding over to Lenny.

He leans over to whisper in the other guy's ear. "Distract her for a minute while I get the pie? If anyone asks you got it."

Cindy probably heard so he puts his finger to his lips to indicate nobody should mention it to Jess.

He felt kind of bad for this, since she had worked so hard, but maybe a new pie might cheer her up.

	"Okay," Lenny says quickly before wheeling up to Jess. "You didn't fail, Jess. It was really thoughtful of you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She flushes faintly. "Thanks guys. Just needed to... You know. Do something. Don't like feelin' all cooped up, so I got myself busy." And if they looked? They would see all kinds of other things. Including a very tasty looking meat based stuffing. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Heather was kind of trying to hide in the kitchen doorway. She could... kind of smell all the food, but it was muted. Not that, as she'd discovered soon after their return from space, she could eat it anyway. One more reason (on top of having no good way to explain how she'd become a crystal freak) to avoid her family this holiday. "Looks... looks good, guys." (Reply to this)(Parent)
