Melvin passed by Leon, frowning. "It's not even in gravy. That's in a little boat over there. If you want to bring that in, go ahead." The cooks had tried their best to get as much juice from the actual turkey slabs from the can to make a somewhat decent gravy not from a can. In fact, the turkey he had set on a massive plate was divided, one half dusted in creole spices, the other half simply spiced with salt and paper, all set to slowly cook in the over so that it wasn't watery and gray, but actually somehow turned back to looking like food you'd consider having seconds. Maybe. Come on, it was canned turkey. There was only so much they could do. The spices at least helped out the taste and with the gravy, could be a good way to disguise the rest.
"You can bring in the stuffing, green beans, or cranberry sauce. We have rolls over there, and also the pitchers of water. Take your pick."
Melvin came back to the table to set down the turkey and headed back to bring in more.

Solia hadn't been busy so much as distracted. She had gotten a brand new filing cabinet full of mission reports yet to be organized and had, naturally, decided to read them all. At the smell of food from the cafeteria, the little death trainee made her way down. To the best sight ever. And it wasn't even Leon. No, (while Leon was nice to look at), it was the scene of the hunters and trainees all getting ready for a thanksgiving dinner. It was doubtless a rare sight as so- she took out her phone and began to snap pictures left and right. Her only pause was by Rep, and his apparent booze. "Hey Reptar." She whispered at him. "Hey, you should give me something." She smiled at him. "For that copy of Blade Runner." She would never forget.

Rep just frowned as she walked away, before with a deep breath and a sigh, taking another sip of his rum, it warmed his throat with the sting of alcohol. He had to hold onto the good mood, he couldn't let it slip.
Hazel asking about booze was enough to jolt him out of his concern. "Oh. Yeah sure man, of course. I like, there's some nice rum." He held up his own bottle as an example. "And probably juice and s**t to mix vodka with if you don't fancy that."
Solia got a nonplussed look and a tiny bottle of malibu held out to her. Apparently he'd gotten some kind of multipack.

"Sweet. Save it for me!" Hazel gave Rep a pat on his bicep, and off to the kitchen.
"Melvin, where are you? What else needs to be brought out?" At that moment, she had seen Leon's interesting holiday attire. She looked at him from head to toe and only had one word for him...
"... Noice..." head nodding in approval.

Ok so it wasn't in gravy, Leon could take the hit for that. "Since when do we have a gravy boat?" Leon asked, clearly puzzled by the sudden appearance of the dainty serving wear. "Where the hell did you even get serving ware like that?" It was the most unorthodox thing in his mind, a compound like this with salad forks and covered terrine's. But it wasn't in him to judge, if there were wind glasses in abundance at dues, why not flatware and dinnerware. "Fine i'll take the stuffing." he said, exasperated by the bowl and its lumps of breaded filling from a box. It was for tradition, he continued to tell himself as he brought it to the table with a frown.

Melvin just glared back at Leon. "It's called planning and asking around. You spend enough time asking, some things like dinnerware comes up." He had gotten the dinnerware from a tech in Life who had a strange love of fine china and, oddly enough, teacups. He didn't ask.

(Aw yeah phone tags srry I'm slow balls) Marcus gave Hazel a small shrug with a smile. "I'm mostly stuck working construction and repair. Intern nurse too but..." He gave a shake of his head, on that end it's all minor. If you're ever wanting to find out how much damage a sun can do feel free to call me up, good times. But really, with our numbers so low it's fun to get to try and figure out how to fix that which had yet to be broken." Painful, but fun to learn new things. Wandering back at Melvin's instruction, the moon returned with cranberry sauce. He felt helpful now.

Otto groaned, running a hand down the side of his face. Crap. Jerry still remembered Hunter Band. Otto really didn't want to commit to it. A random need for a drummer now and then he supposed was fine. But Jerry gave him the creeps. "Er.. yeah.. band... UUH looks like food is ready.." Otto squirmed out of Eva and Jerry's grasp and beelined to the kitchen to 'help out'.

Rep got a rather large grin from Solia who happily accepted the little bottle. It was adorable. Tiny. Perfect for her. She went back to photos, pausing to take a few if Leon with a grin.

Sasha reached out so that she could uncap the bottle that Rin held.
She lifted a brow.
"Bottoms up, then."
Her eyes narrowed as she peered over at Rep, an unreadable expression on her face.

Rin looked uncertain at first as she sniffed the contents. Not at all noticing the look Sasha was giving Rep before taking a wary sip. The liquid was strong and burned her throat as it went down. She stuck her tongue out with a soft 'blech' before offering the bottle to Sasha for her own try. Perhaps there was some trick to getting it down that she didn't know about?

"The payoff is worth it," Sasha grunted as she took the bottle, tipping her head back as she took a healthy swig. s**t burned as it went down, it burned bad, but the instant that it hit her gut she let out a heavy sigh.
Her eyes darted towards the kitchen door briefly, beseechingly, as if doing so would summon Wash.
Taking another drink, Sasha passed the bottle back to Rin, glancing towards Rep as she did.
"What did he say?"

Melvin was already heading back, but turned when Hazel called. "Greenbeans over by the counter need to be brought in." He told her. He noticed cranberry sauce was taken by Marcus. When Otto darted in, he flagged him down. "Otto, can you grab the basket of rolls over there." He'd get the gravy to set down. Someone else already brought out the yams as well. Well then that meant everything would be out after this trip.
He grabbed the gravy boats and headed out. "Alright everyone, time to sit down. We're bring the last of everything in. If someone wants to grab the wine over there to serve and..." He eyed the bottle of whiskey. "...the other drink, that would be great." He hoped the whiskey would still be around.
Setting the gravy boat down, he assumed his own seat at the head of the table. Yeah. He was going to be the daddy of this big "family", so suck it.Quote: Everyone: The food has been brought in. Everyone now can sit down where they want. Better sit beside the person you want or else you'll be out of luck!

Rep eyed the table dismally.
That was a lot of vegetables.

Rin watched curiously as Sasha drank. It was clear this was not the woman's first time too. For this reason, Rin watched a lot more carefully for the second swig for approach, execution, and finality. She heaved a heavy steeling sigh as the bottle was passed back to her, "He said... sharing was okay and..."
Deep breaths Rin, "...told me not to be stupid," and then she tossed back a healthy swig just like Sasha did. In Rin's mind it was the most horrible self-inflicted thing she's ever done as she sputtered and shook. She practically thrust the bottle back into Sasha's care.
Rin had barely even registered Melvin's big call to the table but when she had she looked to Sasha expectantly.
