[ OPEN ] turkey-time and all that follows.

[falcony]

Who: open to all. (see note(s) below!)
What: it's the time of year and with all these new faces as well as with everything going on, sam thinks it's time for another all summoned not!thanksgiving
Where: sam's horizon
When: end of November/beginning of December
Warnings: will update as necessary.

THE SETUP

As per Sam's invitation, come dinner time, his horizon is going to be full fall aesthetic. The trees will have changed, there will be a slight chill in the air (no matter how it's usually hotter than this in Louisiana in November), and everything will be decorated in prime Fall Decorations - so many pumpkins, so many candles, so much Hallmark Card Thanksgiving, minus any weird pilgrim/puritan bs. Inside the house will be a kind of organized chaos - tables and ingredients and food everywhere. Because while Sam could magic the whole meal together, he's much more about putting in the work, so this not!thanksgiving is old school. If you show up early, you will be assigned a job, and Sam can tell if you cheat and just Horizon something together.

Outside in the front lawn area is a large, long dining room table. Come dinner, it will be a picture-perfect image of a Thanksgiving Meal. Everything you could want and then more will be set out, and there will be a setting for everyone, no matter how many people show up. There's no seating arrangement, so find a place and take a seat, chat it up with whoever is to your right, left, or sitting across from you. The only magic that Sam is going to allow at this point is the fact that the table will always be the perfect size - whether that is smaller or larger. There is plenty of booze, plenty of food, and more than enough desserts, and Sam is really just looking for a casual, nice time of it.

Afterwards, there will be plenty of opportunities for more people to help - just imagine the dishes, y'all. But even then Sam will be playing host, making sure everyone has what they need, even if what they need is an Adirondack chair by a fire pit and a blanket to pass the hell out. Either way, his entire Horizon is open, save for the one room upstairs that is always locked.

OOC INFO

- this is a totally open post! I've got a TL below for various scenarios you can find Sam, but otherwise have fun, meet some people, put up a TL of your own!

- Sam's only Rule is there will be no fighting. You want to duke it out? Take it somewhere else. There will not be warnings or second chances. Don't be an ass. This is his home, respect it, or he'll have your ass thrown out. He's not afraid of squaring up, but you will not be invited back if you chaos too many issues. :)

- this is open to any and all Summoned, no matter loyalties or factions. Sam is going to be going overboard to be welcoming, especially to new faces. Even if your character didn't see the big invitation, feel free to have them invited by word of mouth.

Pizza and hot dogs, right?

[she remembers, how simple and at times highly low in nutritional value some of his meals were. but it wasn't about what was healthy or what wasn't—it was about what it all represented.

about the memories he had with his dad.

wanda smiles and bumps her chin against his arm.]

You know that you don't have to convince me to stay, right? I already told you I would.

[catholica]

I know. But, I'm not trying to convince you to stay.

( since, like she said, she was already going to stay. he hums and leans in closer, kisses the top of her head. )

I'm hoping that you'll like being here not just with me but your friends too. I think they're really glad you're here.

( and very protective of her as well. )

wrap up?? heh

[wanda can't help but roll her eyes, an easygoing smile on her face as matt kisses her sweetly and anticipates any complaint or contrarian argument she would give him regarding the people here.

she hates how he is right, and how he makes her actually look at the bright side of the things he says.]

I'm supposed to be tough and mean, you know.

[but wanda leans in, close, and presses herself to his side. she appreciates very much what he's doing here for her—and as much as her friends would like to see her, too, wanda thinks she wants to sit with him just a little longer.]
