[ OPEN ] turkey-time and all that follows.
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.

instead he offers something truthful. ]
My family parted ways when I was very young, so I was curious to understand what it might feel like.
[ which is a generous way of putting it. three generations of my family was hunted across the lands is probably not dinner conversation. ]

Either way, the point seems to be that Elrond doesn't have much of a reference point for family gatherings. ]
Well... where I'm from, there are also people who might not have family to visit over the holidays. Usually someone else will invite them to their get-together, or a bunch of friends will gather instead. Kind of like this.
[ There's a pause, and then his mouth twitches. ]
They usually call it Friendsgiving, I think.
[ With that, he takes a few more bites of his meal. He doesn't want the food to get cold! ]
no subject
elrond hums. ]
That sounds lovely. Friends from all over, I assume, not simply the ones close by?
no subject
[ Steve's since learned that Thanksgiving is the busiest travel day of the years in the US, but he isn't going to ruin Elrond's nice mental image by describing packed airports or train stations. ]
Thankfully, here, it's pretty easy for all of us to get together.
[ He glances up and down the packed table that magically grows every time someone else comes to join. ]
no subject
Do these get togethers happen often?
no subject
[ Steve's mainly here because of Sam, but he can't say that he's having a bad time either. He's been able to meet some newcomers and also check in on familiar faces.
He continues to work through his plate of food, somehow making quick work of it as they talk. ]
no subject
How long have you been here?
no subject
[ Steve pauses in his eating and puffs out a small breath, eyes going wide for a moment. Like this is only now sinking in, that it's been that long. ]
But I'm not the one who's been here the longest. Not by a long shot.
no subject
Who was here the longest?
no subject
[ Steve takes a look around. At least a few of them are in the room right now, and he'll point them out in turn. ]
They're all good sources of information, if you have any questions.
