[Open] Hygge Celebration on Floor Six
who: Everyone inclined to join
what: New arrival welcome party/Hygge dinner for the month
when: After the new arrivals show up
where: Communal Building - Floor Six
warnings: Please put warnings in subject lines below
Floor Six had managed, in a way, to become their own Found Family. Sure other residents came and went, and many they barely got to know at all, but the core of who was living there now all meant something to Ed. Which meant for this holiday - as cozy as the cabins were - he intended to do something at home as well. The lack of a fireplace might make the setting a bit less matching with the theme of the month, but there was no way the floor itself wasn't warm from all of the cooking. He'd spent the day preparing for this, intent on dragging everyone into it - in some cases, whether they liked it or not.
All residents of Floor Six would have been left an invite with details about the event.
While the food is cooking Ed has set out the usual array of snacks. There wasn't much to this "party" outside of the food, if people wanted to hang out and watch TV or play games everything was available but he hadn't bothered to set it all up like what had been done for Al's birthday. This was more about mingling and socialization than games, getting to know others, celebrating the holiday and welcoming the newcomers to the floor - although should anyone look, they were still present to be used.
The table was set for everyone to eat, the counters littered with whatever food wouldn't fit on the table around the place settings. The usual staples were naturally present, chips, dips, pretzels, popcorn and other bowls of snacks. Mostly, there was food though, substantial food. This wasn't an intel meeting, this was actually meant to be a get together, a celebration of sorts. Anyone is welcome to help themselves to the pots of stew available - not knowing what everyone liked meant he had made smaller portions of a few recipes instead of one large helping, so a variety of options (meats and a strictly vegetable version) are laid out. As are a few other meals - roasts and various meats, salad, and other side dishes, appropriate for this time of year. (Basically feel free to imagine a variety of options to be enjoyed.) Buckets filled with ice housed drinks of all flavors on either end of the kitchen island, although nothing alcoholic was offered should someone provide their own that was entirely up to them.
Warm beverages, hot cocoa, tea, coffee were also available and once everyone's eaten there would be desserts laid out as well. Ice cream, cookies, a small cake thanks to a certain conversation Ed had with another resident in the previous month, and a small collection of pies matching the season.
When Ed sent out the invitations he invited them to bring their own favorite dish if they'd like - assuring that there was no obligation as plenty of food would already be provided for everyone. Of course, the invitation is always extended to bring along friends, the reason this was happening in the communal building was to provide the space for any number of people to show up, while also including the residents of Floor Six that they may not actually know as well.
Board games, video games, playing cards, etc. are all available in the communal entertainment area for others to do while not eating!

"It's supposed to be that loud. That's how a classic mustang sounds. Think of it like a rattle snakes warning." He replied playfully. "Now wait a second." He spoke as he slipped back in the driver side and turned her over, to shift to Neutral and let it roll back from the parking spot before leaning over to open the door for Damian which gave a loud pop. "Lets rock and roll." He spoke once the door was open.

Honestly, he isn’t sure how he’s lasted this long with Todd without at least a punch being thrown. As for the death humor... well, one thing he could say about Todd's death. It was one of the few times Damian could say something crass and not get scathing looks for it.
"If you say so." He wasn't sure how loud noises made something more classic, but eh, to each his own. "We'll get some bandages for your ankle. You're limping around is only going to slow down your cooking." And we can’t have that.
no subject
It was nothing short of a miracle that no ones thrown a punch yet.
"I do." He spoke as his phone connected with the bluetooth he had wired in through the cigarette lighter, and music started playing, Jason only turned it down some. "It's fine, I don't need a leg to make a pie." Boy he doesn't know what the future has in store for him. "Now, buckle up it's snowy out." He grumbled before he started to back up without waiting. The store at least was a short drive, but the nice stolen tires would do fine on the snow as would the old metal body.

Having a Jon that came barely fly as opposed to the Jon he knows back home that can fly just fine was disorienting sometimes, but it was nice to pick of his poor flying again.

"I was in Qurac, looking for the Bow of Ra with the Outlaws." Just before he was listed as a criminal of war.
