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.

- any questions? message me at disarmingly

It's really interesting when people make creatures in there. They seem so real. One of my friends Mat has a creature in his that reacts like a real animal, I'm not entirely certain how it all works.

( Jesper doesn't have one of his own. He has no idea what he would want to make. He doesn't have a strong attachment to any animal so it's not as if he's creating something he left behind. He likes interacting with them in other people's domains, it's all very interesting, but it's hard to tell if any of it is real or not. As real as anything on the Horizon, maybe.)

Do you have a domain? I've gone to a whole lot of them, but not all of them.

( Jesper sometimes purposely wanders around, leaves his own place and goes on a walk. There are a few he visits more frequently than others, but there are new ones that show up every few months and he's intrigued.)

Yeah, I've heard about people having animals and just — completely full places. I'm still working on that.

( matt laughs a bit because his horizon was always going to be a work in progress. he wasn't magical and, add into that his blindness, and he wasn't sure it would ever look exactly right but he was trying. )

I've got...something. It's not much. I've managed to make some rooftops from New York and my apartment and office. Not sure if that counts as a domain.

Julie has actual people in hers, although not with personalities or seem to engage with people in a real way. Maybe I should get some birds for the cabin like Wanda.

( Jesper wouldn't mind a pet even if it is a psychic pet that only exists there. He has no strong attachment to birds but songbirds would be nice. There are some aspects of growing up on a farm that wasn't terrible. Bird watching was one of them. If he ends up making a little farm in his backyard though he'll know he's gone too far.

He low key does wonder how it all works with Matt's blindness, but it would be impolite to ask.)

I'm pretty sure as long as you have anything even if it's one chair, it's a domain. Maybe I'll have to swing by, I'd like to see what rooftops of New York are like. I'm pretty good at running over them in Ketterdam.

You should.

( he's only had a few people over and most of those people have been wanda. )

There's a pretty shitty bar that I like to go to that I can create, I think. Beer's trash but the ambiance is nice. Come by, my treat.

( in the magical horizon place, yes. )
